So here's my replacement mani - Powder Perfect Exhilaration:

Gorgeous - eats topcoat...
This pic was after 2 coats, I added a third later. Got up this morning, and blow me down if it wasn't all rough again! I used a thick one too! I'm going to try HK Girl shortly.
I actually don't mind, it's sooooo sparkly!

HK Girl is awesome, totally shined this baby up, smooth as! It's even prettier now!

Oh poo! I knew some ilnps were coming soon but these are soooo pretty! Wishlist grows massively...
Tell me about it...


Ok, latest manis. These were so difficult to capture. First Isadora Beetle Green with FF In His House He Waits Dreaming (brown base with green holo glitters):



And EdM Insipid:

I think I might just have to skip the whole lot (for now). Need to be on low buy, but I have still bought loads this month already. Argh!

Speaking of ILNP, just a heads up, they had the same type of breach (Credit card information stolen) that Lime Crime had. Just if you guys hadnt seen it.

I saw that, they're dealing it really well. I never use credit card to shop, always go through Paypal, much safer. And NEVER EVER use debit card, that's just suicide.

OMFG! I had seen odd sneak peeks, but had no idea there were this many. This will be a BIG haul for me, thank heavens she does pre-orders. I have a decent stash of US$ in my paypal account, so I know what that's going on.

Intrigued by the holo flakies, but I know with the multichromes I found I generally preferred the regular versions. Certainly don't need both options, so that already cuts down the list of possibles at least :)

Oh, that's a very pretty polish. Shame it's not drying properly. Do you use a fast drying TC?




Thanks MRV I have relieved Anitacska of her spare FM!

My PMS mani was topped with Essence Fast Drying Top Coat, it didn't help - I honestly think it was just down to the thickness of the polish I applied to attempt to make it opaque.

What a lovely purple! Love this shade. Is it some kind of texture polish as it eats TC?


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I love your two manis, both very "you"!
I don't think Exhilaration is meant to be textured, I seem to recall the maker saying you might need more than one coat of topcoat but it would be worth it! And if that's an accurate recollection, she was right! I think it's just heavy with glitter - but the HK Girl was definitely the solution, it's still as shiny as I had hoped, and sparkling like mad in today's sunshine!

27??? Does she think she's Llarowe???
Honestly I'm only tempted by a couple of these - though when I see swatches that may change! If it stays at just the two I may get those plus the three outstanding from her older collections (yes, including Black Orchid!!!) and maybe one of the flakies to try out. Depends how much I spend elsewhere before next Friday though! And to be honest, if it's just a couple, there's not much saving doing the preorder so I won't stress about it.

Peri Me


Flower Girl + Rapture (H)


Timeless Vow

Need all of these.
They are all so pretty! However, I don't find that these pale colours flatter me so much, so hopefully I'll resist - at least for a while! This may not happen of course...

I like the ones with the flakies, but some pastels are not that interesting to me either.

Time for my new manis. First up is ILNP Mutagen (H) with Models Own Chrome Silver as the base for the fishscales.







Next is CbL Connie You Saucy Minx and EdM You Saved My Life with square glitter from Poundland.







Whoa, that is a scary picture of my thumb! Connie is way more purple irl and the EdM has a slight holo to it, but it gets lost under the glitter.
