Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[PearlyQueen]

Still haven't heard from Stackry, so I'm sure I'll be getting one of those messages very soon. Ugh. I now have another package sitting there (from Glam Polish), so will try and have it shipped without consolidating, hopefully that will work. Otherwise I'll be asking my friend to ship them to me, but it will have to be a one off and I won't be able to carry on buying from the US (or from Glam Polish and Lilypad Lacquer though their US distributor). Just when Glam Polish have announced a gorgeous trio (Oh, Em, Gee) that's going to be a LE store exclusive.

And I can say goodbye to buying from people on FB as most won't ship abroad.

Oh well. It's not like I have a shortage of polishes though. On that note, I was very naughty yesterday, bought a ton of cheap polishes in the shops and also ordered 6 of the new CbLs (plus 2 older ones) from RC. Anyone got anything from the Pretty Woman collection? I've ordered all the holos. Oops.













Those multichromes are probably dupes of dupes of polishes I already have, but I still couldn't leave them. I clearly have a problem.

Your haul is gorgeous! I was tempted by those multichromes a while ago at one of the European sites, but resisted at the time - looking at your pics, I wish I hadn't!
I did get a few of the CbLs - I would have got more if I could have trusted my Stackry box, but the money I had to pay for them bought fewer at RC prices
I can live without the box, I'm just concerned about getting the goodies I already bought. I have two packages in there at the moment, and a further two on order. Of those, two should not be difficult to replace and get shipped direct, though obviously I don't want to pay twice! And one is sale stuff, which I don't really want to shell out any more than I have to - mostly bought because they were cheap, would make them a bit pointless if shipping cost loads! But one is direct from Glam with the Store Exclusives in it. It hasn't even shipped yet, and is the only one that's really upsetting me as I won't be able to get them any other way.

Another haul picture, my Femme Fatale order came from RC today:





Also, did a new mani and pedi last night. Second pedi this year, w00t! It was really hot here yesterday, 25 C, and my holiday pedi had chipped due to being in the pool and waterparks, so had to replace it. Mani is OPI Kermit Me To Speak with Let's Do Anything We Want on the accents. Love the shift and the glitter is really pretty too. Pedi is Liquid Sky Lacquer Sugar Snap Pea.

More gorgeousness! I don't do pedis, my toenails are so awful due to a medical condition I can never allow them to be seen!
Love those FFs, I have been itching to buy a few of those too!

Thanks. My toenails aren't very pretty either, plus I have fat toes, lol, but I like showing them off in the summer. The FFs are really pretty, although most of them seem quite sheer.

Well, here you go, the reply from Stackry:

Dear Anita,

I am sorry, we did email you a few days ago regarding this. It consists of nail polish which is a prohibited item and it it considered "dangerous goods" and cannot be forwarded to the UK. You do have a few options though:
1. It can be returned to the retailer.
2. shipped via FedEx ground to someone in the US.
3. Can be disposed of.

Please advise.

Thank You,



Ann Miller
Your Stackry Support Team

Bit abrupt though. I never received an e-mail from them as they claim. So I replied and asked for some details, like when did this come into effect and why did they not let their customers know this was an issue?

 

[Anitacska]

I got another e-mail, this looks a bit more promising. I asked if they can hold my stuff for free until they get their paperwork sorted. We shall see. I still have a few packages on route. Dear Anita, I am very sorry for the confusion, we were just notified earlier last week that nail polish had been added to the list of items that is now considered "dangerous" and needs additional paperwork and certification in order to be shipped. It is now listed on our page of items that we cannot ship, but we did not send out a notification about it, and probably should have. I am so sorry about this, we will be getting this certification to be able to ship these items, but it is going to take 60-90 days in order to get said certification. Would you like us to hold these items for you until this certification is obtained? If not, we can return them for you and will do so at no cost due to the hassle that you have encountered.

[PearlyQueen]

Thanks for the update. Hmm, two very different responses!
I would definitely wait if that was an option, and at least now we know that they will be getting the certification at some point in the middling future.
I'm guessing that you didn't manage to get it through with the order you tried to forward without consolidating either, so probably not worth my while even trying. I guess I'll wait until all my stuff gets there, consolidate as usual and await my rejection email, and just hope that I get the same assistance as your second email with the option of delaying shipment till they can do it.
Crossing my fingers that we all get our lovely polishes in the end.

Very pretty!

Very nice mani and pedi! That OPI duochrome is lovely!




Sorry all of you guys are having trouble with your mail forwarding company, they really should have been emailing people about their inability to no longer ship NP! I have no idea what they were thinking on that one

Hopefully it wont take too long for them to get their certification or whatever they need and you guys can get your goodies

I received my Color Club Pastel Neon collection today! I did some quick swatches and LOVE them!! The colors are perfect for spring/summer!

 

[rekhyt]

I, too, have some Glams on the way too Stackry, hmph. Ah well, at least they'll hold our packages until they get the licence... I wonder how much the "additional fees" will be for the special shipment. Camille from Pshiiit just announced that the EP restock will be this weekend. She'll post more info about the store link and the exact date soon.

 

[MRV]

Beautiful!
ack ouch! hopefully your daughter's toe heals well!

Thanks!

Thanks

Thanks! I know, I looked out the window just before I left my place and I couldn't believe it!

Thanks and thanks! it wasn't too bad just a bit longer than expected.

Very pretty! I haven't used this one yet.

Great haul, lots of pretty purples!

Thanks, yeah we had some crazy snow on April 4, but it's not that unusual here for that to happen. most of it melted on contact. It's been getting warmer and warmer since that weekend though!

haha I'm adjusting my stockings in a frustrated manner

thanks! yes you did!

nice mani!

Very pretty!

Thanks, Fuzzy! We're still waiting for the warmer weathers (less than +10 C here).

Oh, cool. I'm ready. Timewise at least.

I didn't try that, so perhaps you could? I have a new package (I think it's from Lilypad) and I'm in two minds whether I should try and have it forwarded alone, just put art supplies on it and hope they don't open it to check. If they do, it won't look good on me since I already officially know I'm not supposed to have nail polish forwarded to me. But if you tried it with one of yours then we would know if it's possible and worst case scenario is that you're told the same thing as me. Does that make sense?

 

[Anitacska]

Thanks, awickedshape! It's not at all that toffee in the bottle, but on nails it was. It is actually a subtle holo but you could hardly see it.


Lovely!


NY looks pretty!

I hope you all can fix that Strackry shipping problem. So frustrating. RM-gate once again.

I so need those FFs! Unfortunately they seem to be available in RC only, and that Mirror thing's gone!

And can't order anything until next Friday.

This also reminds me that one of the FFs I bought earlier this year has vanished! I wanted to wear it on Sunday but could not find it. Then I remembered that I dropped a box full of NPs on the floor some time ago, but after searching for it I still could not find it.

Love the Kermit! I never got to order it.

Thank you! Hope you find your FFs! Also hope you'll be able to buy the new ones soon. I'm sure other stockists will have them.

I love both manis, so pretty!

Faster than expected, I had my money on Saturday 2 pm...

Good luck, ladies! I already have all the colours I'm interested in... I'd love to help someone out with this restock but I'm off in a couple of minutes. :/ I tried to find out the exact url for Scintealliant but I guess the new updated bigcartel doesn't work that way anymore.

I hope it won't be too stressing for you!

 

[Anitacska]

I'm sitting here stalking. Think will just go for Scintealliant, might come back for another few, she said she combines shipping within 30 minutes, so we'll see. I just really want a Scintealliant for now.

 

[Anitacska]

Got one!!! Woohoo!!!

 

[MRV]

Yikes! I was able to put 7 into my cart which was over my budget. Took two off, and still had to do a money transfer into my account to find out that the cart does not hold! I had only 3 left so I did not bother. Waiting for the next chance....

Combines in 30 minutes? Is the next restock coming now??

Hi! New to the thread, and it's going to be dangerous! I am a reformed nail polish hoarder. Before I got into makeup, I had almost 100 bottles of polish. That was a few years ago. I've purged my collection and now only have about 20 polishes-- all of which get regular use. I'm more into unique shades and shimmer/glitter. Thought I do have a staple nude pink and bright red!

I found this thread because I just purchased 6 nail polishes from ILNP Brand. Has anyone else tried these? They range from $10-12.50, and they look soooo cool! If you create an account with them, you earn points for every purchase. I believe every 20 points = $1. So, in one order I already have $3.25 in credit with them! Which would be like 30% off a $10 bottle. Pretty awesome after only one purchase. Much more usable that Sephora's silly point program. Anyway, here are some pictures of the ones I ordered. I can't wait to try them out.




Agh, sorry they photos are still huge! I even selected "small" when I uploaded them.
Top Row L to R: Gaia, Iconic, Peri Me,
Bottom Row L to R: Music Box, Champagne Blush, Cygnus Loop.

I chose more holo ones for this order, but they have 90-something polishes and a toooon of crazy awesome looking duo chromes and DCs mixed with holo. Each page has an imbedded IG stream so you can see real life swatches of all the colors! I totally jumped in with both feet instead of just ordering one. Oops. I was too tempted. Orders over $50 got free USPS priority 3 day shipping!
