Love the FUNs! Lovely mani, too! Looks like you've been having same problems as I. That Takko reminds me a lot of EdM Insipid (and the pic of it). Talking about Takkos, I grabbed two from Llarowe the other night. They did not go fast. I put four into my cart (could have made even more I think) but ended up with just two. No more is going to happen with this state of the exchage rate!

What is that purple Lilypad? Can't read the name.

Great choices!


Lucky strike!

Thanks. The purple one is Marvellous Magenta. It is very pretty.

I missed out on the Takkos, by the time I remembered and was let in, most were gone, but I really only wanted 2 anyway. Eh.

It is very similar to EdM Insipid.

Latest manis: Elevation The Walker. This was really nice. It's more purple though, not blue.



And Kiko 472 with ILNP Electric Carnival (from the colour of the Kiko to golden to green)

Both are really pretty. And I know The Walker is way more purple. Thought about ordering it, but didn't in the end.

My current mani is EdM Maddy's Magenta and Girly Bits Flowers in Your Hair. I'm really pleased with how it turned out, really wasn't sure about the brown and also what to pair it with. But I think it works well.



Also my Superficially Colorful Lacquer order has arrived. The colours are so pretty and the boxes are so cute!

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.

Very pretty haul, love them! Your flakey mani looks great too.

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.

I've been seriously contemplating those Different Dimensions (the ones named after space shuttles), are they the ones that all look alike? Maybe I'll just get one!
Love the look of Sirin, I haven't gone for any of the Anna Gorelova DLs, though I keep seeing ones I fancy. Nice ring too!
And your Elevations look scrummy, I keep nearly buying more but they never make it to the top of my wishlist!
Great haul, enjoy!

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!

Yay, it's so nice when things like that go in your favour!

I just love both of these!
I just crossed The Walker off my wishlist yesterday as it looked very pale in swatches I was looking at. Now it's going back on it!!!

Lovely mani, and cute haul - I only know the name of the brand, don't think I've really seen any before.

Stunning colour, suits you!
I don't think I could live somewhere that -1 counted as warm! I'm miserable unless it hits the 30s!
Click to expand...
Thanks!

30C is getting very warm, but at that temperature here it's almost always accompanied by extreme humidity which makes it feel terrible.
My apartment is pretty much a constant 26C in winter so it's pretty warm inside. It's supposed to be a high of 9C on Tuesday!

I'm quoting my own post from MAC x Bao Bao Wan thread with my MAC Imperial Green mani

gorgeous greeness!

Imperial Green still doing just fine after a vintage clothing show, the liquor store and the grocery store! I bought more delicious mead!- I just had to share lol




I used OPI Matte Nail Envy as my basecoat and Glisten & Glow HK Girl topcoat.

Sorry about the dry hands they've hit critical mass by this time of year lol

Very pretty! I didn't get any BBW polishes, maybe I should've.

After saying I won't order from ILNP just now, guess what? Just placed an order. Got 5 of the new ones, plus the 2 new flakies (holo version), and the holo versions of the flakies I don't have yet (5).

Anyone else ordered yet?

I'm skipping this restock, I do want some of them and I will get them soon, probably when they come out normally, but I just can't afford everything at once sadly.
As I said, the preorder would only save me a couple of dollars, so it's not worth stressing about it!

I've finally done a new mani! Exhilaration lasted 2 weeks easily, and could have survived a bit longer too, but I thought its time had come - though it's such a pretty polish, I was tempted to stretch it a bit longer.
Anyhow, I wanted to chop my nails so it's gone.
This week I again ended up with a polish that needs undies, only I didn't use any and I hate to give up when I've started! This time I avoided trying to make up for transparency by using thick coats, and I went for lots of thin ones - I lost count of how many, but I think it may be seven...!
Picture Polish - Aurora:












It too will be going into the toppers drawer, I love what I got in the end but life's too short for a 7-coat mani!
