Just saw this on Instagram. More flakies. Hmm, I think she's a bit late to the flakie game.
Agreed... I like flakies but I already have a couple of ILNP, Takko and Indigo Bananas so I don't see any reason to buy this one. She'd need to make something über-special with flakies because especially Indigo Bananas has set the bar really high imo. I really love how creative they are with the iridescent and chrome flakies.

I like the look of both of them! But I agree, she's not keeping up with some of the other brands - I was disappointed to see more "mystery" monthlies as I'd like to pick and choose which ones I buy, but I can't not buy them when I don't know! After the first year, I have been pretty pleased overall, even if I might not have chosen all of them - sometimes it's good to be jolted out of your normal choices, but I still find it arrogant!Thank you. Connie is lovely in every form, on her own, her neighbour and her brother.
There are plenty I like in the ILNP spring collection including the new multichrome holo and those ones with the flakies in them, plus Poetry, and I will most definitely get a few of the holo flakies, including the two new shades, but I'm going to postpone it because we've just had a look at our finances and our loft conversion is going to cost a LOT, so I need to be good. I've just ordered the four new Shooting Star polishes from Different Dimension, they're only available for 24 hours and I can't not get them, so something's got to give.
They are very pretty and sparkly. I also ordered a few from Hypnotic Polish, they have some exclusives as well.
I like them too, but to me they're a bit samey. I sent MRV some comparison swatches and you can barely see the difference between February and a couple of other polishes. But I'm guessing January is very "you".

That's such a pretty polish - lovely shade!New mani, WingDust These Broken Wings. It's really pretty, but took 4 coats and is a bit uneven due to the iridescent thicker flakies in it. But it dried quickly and it is very nice.

Is it just me or are all these flakies starting to look the same? I haven't really indulged and I feel bored with them already!Just saw this on Instagram. More flakies. Hmm, I think she's a bit late to the flakie game.
I certainly won't be getting into the EP madness for a lookey-likey to what ILNP et al have already brought out! If she does something more interesting, then we'll see!
I still want to get at least one of the ILNP ones, which at least look different from each other!

Lol, it's another "you" mani! The EP looks less virulent on you than mine does in the bottle! I like it in both its guises though! Although it's one of the ones I might not have gone for if I'd seen it in advance. I like the coppery accents too. Altogether very pretty!A quick post: EP March 2014

I think I like them best in a base colour, because I don't have to stress about what to wear them with! The only one I have so far is a Takko one, and I just can't envision how it will look when it's over another shade. I must try it soon though, because I don't want to buy more if it's not really "me".

Thank you [@]PearlyQueen[/@]! Those two were good formulas, two coats, quick drying, no chipping.

I finally did a mani! pics in next post, I have to switch to my phone. My HK Girl got so thick over the past couple weeks, I couldn't believe it! It was so gloopy- I had to add a ton of thinner, still worked good after all that, thankfully.

It's finally warming up a bit here! It's bad when you start thinking a high of -1C is 'warm' :lol:

I am feeling better, my cold kept mostly going away and then coming back! It was strange... hopefully you don't get that happening and you feel better soon!Hi Fuzzy! Thank you! Hope you're feeling better. I seem to have got your cold now though. Bleugh.
Lovely! Glad to hear it's warming up!We've even had 11 C! Woohoo!
Thanks! ooo 11C! that's downright balmy! It's 0C right now and I have the window open! lol had yucky freezing rain yesterday evening, the power was flashing for hours and then it went out for 25 minutes. Apparently a tiny bit of freezing rain was enough to catch a zillion transformers on fire!

Small haul from Rainbow Connection incl. the new Fun Lacquers and CbL Do the Twist:
I also bought a few cheap polishes today while shopping.
Really annoyed with DPD though. My Hypnotic Polish order should've been delivered 2 days ago, but apparently she didn't put my house number on it. I phoned them yesterday and asked them to deliver today to the correct address, but it didn't turn up. So now it's been 3 days since it arrived in the depot and it's still no nearer to being delivered! Argh!
My US package should be with me tomorrow or Friday all things permitting too. I have a lot of nice goodies in there! Can't wait!
My current mani is Takko Surrealistic over Pretty Jelly Demeter (over a black base). It is really pretty, but annoyingly very difficult to photograph. The flakies are multicoloured and shift as well, plus the base (Demeter) is holo, so in the sunshine it looks amazing. My camera decided not to cooperate though. It is ten times prettier irl.

Daily nail polish porn part 2, my US orders. Firstly a big Diff Dim order. I'm quite disappointed in these, because although they are very pretty, some of them are practically identical. Oh well.
The Dance Legends in the middle are Sage and Sirin. Hopefully you can read the rest,
And yes, I caved in and bought La La Land.
That's it for today. I've just done a new mani, I'll show you tomorrow.

Oh and forgot to say, weird thing happened today. Got my shipping notice from Llarowe for the Box Indied and noticed they're shipping it to the UK, even though I put my US address down. Quickly checked how much they charged me for shipping and it turns out they didn't. So if this is all correct, then my box will be shipped free to the UK. Yay!

Very nice! As I said on IG, weirdly I was thinking about pulling this out myself since it's March. I also have March 2013 that I haven't worn yet.
Lovely! Glad to hear it's warming up!We've even had 11 C! Woohoo!
We've been having just above zero, cloudy and even rainy. I almost choked on my macaron when I read on the net that we are going to have +10 C and sunsine on Sunday! Well, the clouds permetting that is.
