Wow, that's dedication! I don't have any np I love that much. I've just checked, I don't have this one, would've let you have it if I had. I bought a few from that collection, but not this one.

Both beautiful - Later Gater is really interesting, but I especially like the LSL! Pretty stickers too.I've got two new manis to show you. First one is Polish Me Silly Later Gator, which is a really interesting colour and was very hard to capture. The second one is Liquid Sky Lacquer It's Wine O'Clock Somewhere and Zoya Arlo. Plus I got these cute stickers from Superdrug the other day, so decided to jazz it up.

Both beautiful - and I'm especially taken with the Femme Fatale I see on the accent!I could order from Oz, but the shipping is like 46 Euros + I would not be able avoid paying VAT which is 24% of the value+shipping, also I'd have to pay an additional tax if the value+shipping is over 150 Euros, so there's really no sense in ordering.
She gave 5.50 Euros off when the total was over 50 Euros.
Funny, Fairy is the only flakie (and only non-creme) I'm missing, too!
Nice! Looking forward to wearing August in August.
Pretty!
Good. TG it was not a week earlier!
Yes, the first one looks really interesting in colour. And a pretty combo in the second one.
Latest: one coat of EP Mermaid over Takko C&C (which you can't really see).
And P&J renewed bottle #004 Tortue Verte with some FF Apothecary.

Great idea, I know I have a zillion (approx, may have exaggerated by 1 or 2...) gorgeous unworn and worn polishes!Because I'm still really bummed about the Stackry situation and I had a bit of time to myself today, I dug out a whole load of older polishes that I've not used yet. These were certainly in my first 500. I think I'm going to do a gradient with the yellow and orange polishes, haven't done one in ages. I sometimes (often) forget how many lovely polishes I own, so today was good fun digging down to the bottom of my cupboard and pulling out some nice colours. Bit like a reverse haul picture, eh?
By the way, I went to my local TK Maxx in search of those Alessandro Heavy Metals you got, god what a mess that place is. The polishes are stacked so you can't see anything, and they all look well past their sell by date. It's so annoying, they used to be in temporary premises while the main store was refurbed, and the polishes were neat and tidy and all in nice box sets, then they moved back and all you see is chaos. Horrible - and after about 1/2 hour searching I don't think they had any of the ones I wanted anyway!
I envy you having a decent one!

~Wow, great hauls!Yay! Mine would've been here yesterday, but I missed the delivery, so had to pick it up today. Love Scintealliant, so pretty, and also the flakies, esp Mermaid and Siren. Hopefully the ones at Stackry will eventually arrive and then I'll have Fairy too. I also got a spare La La Land because mine hasn't got the box (thanks Stackry for throwing it out), but will probably sell or swap it eventually.
Also my Darling Diva order from the weekend came which was really quick. She released a few LE polishes, so I needed to add a few more for free delivery. She also sent me a prismatic topcoat whatever that is.
Finally, I got a Leighton Denny polish from the new collection and a cheapo glitter polish from H&M. And Essence gel top coat. Has anyone used it? Is it any good? Trying to find a top coat that might help my nail polish last longer, almost everything chips on me within a day.

The Layla looks lovely - I've only worn one of mine (I bought 6 or 7) and it was horrible to apply too. I won't be getting the rest!Today's mani is an oldie from the other day's picture, Layla Jade Groove with EP Seven Nation Army on the accents. The Layla polish was an absolute stinker to apply, took 4 coats, it was just pulling so much, even after 3 coats it had bald spots. It's also been chipping already. Meh. Very nice colour and gorgeous holo though, but my indie holo polishes are so much better. I quite like 7NA, but it did dull the holo somewhat.

I use Matte Nail Envy as my base and Glisten & Glow HK Girl for my topcoat, most things don't chip on me until day 5 ( just some tip wear) and I wash my dishes by hand without gloves lol but I suspect some of that lack of chipping is just my nails being the way they are.

Nice!These NPs are gorgeousI love you mani too!
I use Avon gel strength base coat - it's the best one for me. My favourite top coat is Seche Vite but I stopped using it a few years ago because of the ingredients. Now I use Opi RapiDry and I like it, it's not as shiney but it dries fast - this is the most important thing for me.
I have a question about China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy. I received my third bottle (the first one was in 2012) and it's completely different again! It's peachy now, there's no pink in it.
So I'm looking for something similar to this batch:
Wow talk about different lots! those are very different in colour!
Gorgeous mani, I see why you love it!

You're welcome! Hope you had a good one.Thank you, Anita!
Thank you! Wow, what a difference! I have the original one (I think) and it's def. a neon pink coral.
Thanks!
Pretty! It's like watercolors.
Thanks, PQ. I did a mani with the FF alone earlier.
Thank you!
Oh, I did not know that. They are available here too in a department store but I have never bought any.
Thanks, Fuzzy!
Envious about that FF!
Very pretty!

Finally I've got a minute to post mani and haul pictures. First mani is Models Own Sun Kissed and Zest A Peal gradient with palm tree stickers.
My current mani is Different Dimension Tulips Are Better Than One stamped with Pueen 80 plate (and Konad white). I was pleasantly surprised by the DD polish as I'd read that it was very sheer and needed 4 coats, but it was fine with 2. Did 3 for good measures, but it certainly didn't need 4. It has a lot of purple to it, but my camera didn't want to know.
Finally, a few haul pictures. First is my Rainbow Connection order:
Bullet For My Valentine, Monroe, Lilac You Mean It, What In Carnation, A Dragon Is Not A Slave, Throughout My Life
Little TK Maxx and Poundland haul:
Firefly, Platinum Wishes, London Lane
Hypnotic Polish haul:
Strawberry Margarita, Manhattan, Tsunami
Pink Squirrel, Kir Royal, Black Sabbath
Sugared Violets, Dahlia, Danger Danger, Party Time, Night Ranger, Through The Glass
Phew!
Did anyone order any FUN Lacquers or the EP mysteries? I ordered all 3 EPs and quite a few FUNs. MRV, was that you that got the shipping refunded? I saw your first name among the first 50, but of course it could be someone else. I was too slow, but the discount paid for the shipping anyway, so I'm happy.

Ooh! *checking...* I'm afraid it's not me!Finally I've got a minute to post mani and haul pictures. First mani is Models Own Sun Kissed and Zest A Peal gradient with palm tree stickers.
The # does not match and I have not seen any refunds. I meant to try to get the refund but forgot all about it of course. I placed my order only a few hours later. The discount also covered my shipping so it's ok. I got the EPs, too. Pretty manis. The first one with the palm trees's fun! I'm a palm tree freak - I have several indoors. And the rose stamping looks pretty. Great haul - El Corazons look quite intense. Here's my latest mani: Takko Jabberwocky.
