And your nails have a really beautiful shape, too! I have kinda wonky fingertips and nails and it's hard to get them in a flattering shape so I'm a bit envious.
I'm currently sitting with nekkid nails in a heap of a trazillion untrieds and I'm overwhelmed and have absolutely no clue what to wear next. I can't even think of a basic colour to narrow it down, help.

Thank you, that's very sweet. Why don't you put them under a blanket and pull one out randomly if you really can't decide?And your nails have a really beautiful shape, too!

That's a lovely green/teal holo and the accents go well with it. I think I don't have Refres...ing though. You must have done something right and your nails are getting healthier!Go on, do tell! How many?
Nice mani. I don't have EP January 2014.
Oh, 1159 less than you ONLY!
Thank you!

My nails are longer than ever, don't know how or why, but I'm not complaining. Might be my base coat, been using Seche ridge filling base coat for a while now.
I did another mani with BL Knackered and OPI Which is Witch to use them properly. Enchanced twinkles.

Weird that she always puts $27, I will definitely contact her about it if and when I next order from her. Which if she keeps bringing out cremes, won't be anytime soon. Unfortunately here they don't just look at the siize of the package.We have the same limit, 22 €. I don't know why they don't jump on the 27 USD + unmarked shipping cost = clearly over 22 €. Maybe they only like bigger boxes (bigger = more expensive)?
Thank you! It was pretty holo but so hard to capture for some reason.

That's a nice big number too. I don't know how many I bought in 2014, but it's got to be a lot more than 364.
Thank you. Funnily enough I really don't do anything special, in fact I've stopped taking the vitamins for nails, hair, skin. So I'm pretty sure it must be the base coat I'm using. I did have to file a couple of my nails down today though as they got a bit messed up due to taking the Christmas tree down.
Lovely mani again!
Mine is Different Dimension Ho3 with Sexy and I Snow It. I tried stamping on the glitter with Ho3, but it only shows up in low light, I preferred the glitter on its own actually. The stamping on Ho3 is Color Club Kismet.
I also got some newbies, sadly one (CbL Donna) broke in transit, but RC will send out a new one with my next order, so it's okay.

Your claws are looking great! And I'm now really looking forward to receiving my Refresh...ing too! Is the GB the one in the Box Indied December? Whatever, they look lovely together.

Lol, I always pick a colour that features in my next outfit, and work from there!And your nails have a really beautiful shape, too! I have kinda wonky fingertips and nails and it's hard to get them in a flattering shape so I'm a bit envious.

This looks so ethereal and beautiful, I absolutely adore it. Not sure it would be flattering on me unfortunately, the paler colours always leave me thinking I should have gone deeper. It's definitely a mani I envy though!We have the same limit, 22 €. I don't know why they don't jump on the 27 USD + unmarked shipping cost = clearly over 22 €.

Pretty mani - I love the glitter in it. HO3 looks much less of a bright red than I expected, which is a bit of a disappointment as I bought the box to get it.Weird that she always puts $27, I will definitely contact her about it if and when I next order from her. Which if she keeps bringing out cremes, won't be anytime soon. Unfortunately here they don't just look at the siize of the package.

Ah, I almost always wear black, though.. so everything works. But I ended up with Trust No One, the Holo Grail exclusive from Emily de Molly. Black holo with a smidge of blue microglitter. I've changed it to Shimmer Me Timbers (CbL) yesterday evening. And can I say Wooohooo, I just snatched a La La Land from the Mei Mei EP restock!

Ooh, well done. I missed out on it. I was on the page the moment they went up, clicked on LLL, and it was already reserved, 10 minutes later all gone. Just a joke really. These kind of experiences really put me off EP.

I think I was only one crucial click faster.. instead of the main bigcartel site I already had the specific lala site open and only had to click "add to cart". I tried a couple of combinations for this specific site prior and when "maintenance" came up instead of "oops, we couldn't find that page" I knew it was the right one and kept refreshing. I wish the EP lady would just make everything pre-order. It doesn't have to be a whole hour, I think 15 minutes would suffice, but alas, I suspect she enjoys her elusiveness.......

Ooh, that's clever, I'll try that next time!
Yes, I bet she enjoys seeing her products sell out within seconds. She could earn so much more money if she produced more polish. I bet if there had been 100 LLLs for sale, they still would've all been gone within minutes. I doubt there were more than 20....

Congrats! I missed out the restock of course. Yesterday we had the last bank holiday, and today I was back at work, not yet up to date.
Is LLL an exclusive/LE or something?New mani's EP Ceram Sea and PP Never Nude.

Claws???
They are very far from claws. But thanks, I am happy with them this length.
Yes, the GB is from the December box. It is very pretty.

Yes, it's definitely not a bright red, more like a muted red. That said, I didn't like it in the bottle at all, but on my nails it's a different colour.

Thanks, PQ!
Thank you! It had some nice depth, I don't think the lightness bothered though because there was still some sparkle and glow to it.

Nice mani, very creative!
LLL isn't LE, it was initially a surprise launch and ever since I keep missing out on it. Meh.

Thanks, I saw this on FB too. I will try your technique to score LLL.
