Picked up my ILNP package from the post office this morning. Luckily it was there despite the postman not bothering to leave a card. Apparently it's quite typical of him. Nice.









Today's mani is Darling Diva Violets Are Blue with Different Dimension Today Was a Fairytale on the accents.



More lovely deliveries, I like them! And your mani is lovely again.

Lovely! Shame you didn't order that one though...
Sorry to hear Entwined isn't as good as it seemed - still waiting for mine. I didn't order the yellow, thought I wouldn't wear it though it looked lovely, so if you get it for free that's a definite win!

Actually I think you need to see Entwined on the nails to appreciate it fully, plus direct sunlight destroys the full effect. It's a beautiful Polish for sure, but I expected something unicorn-like from Didoline's pics! :D I just did my nails with the yellow and quite like it! Will post a pic tomorrow! I just got the shipping notification for the coral polish and a quite nice email by Chelsea so everything's good!

Thank you again!

Hope you're okay. Being out of work is tough, I've got my fingers crossed you find something else soon.

Yeah, well, blogger pictures never ever show the true likeness of a polish. I'm sure it's very pretty though. Mine have arrived in the UK. Guessing they're sitting at Customs being charged.

On that note, there's going to be a mysteries pre-order on Sunday, I think it's 6 pm UK time. June, July and August 2015.

There's also a new FUN Lacquer collection coming out on Saturday. I'm feeling a bit swamped now with all these orders and new polishes coming out all the time. I know I don't HAVE to buy them, but I kinda have to, if that makes sense, hahaha!

Well, the Royal Mail failed to deliver again. I got part of my Llarowe order, but only 4 polishes out of 9. I'm sure the UK lady posted them all on the same day. Oh well, let's see if they turn up tomorrow. Funnily the postman brought a card for the package from 2 days ago. The efficiency! Pmsl.

Anyway, here's my Llarowe order and also my recent Rainbow Connection order.

Here's my mani with House of the Rising Sun and some waterdecals from BornPrettyStore which I think are rather lovely together with the yellow holo:

That's good. Hopefully it won't take long to arrive.


Thank you!

Thanks Anita, I have landed a part time temp job, so it's better than nothing and I start next week, but my income will be taking a massive hit sadly. I'll be cutting back on the shopping for the foreseeable future until I have something full time, permanent and at a decent pay rate, but I should be able to pick up a few "must haves" - like the new EP monthlies! And I do like the look of some of those new FUNs as well, very tempted...
Beautiful delivery - I especially love the Dance Legends, I could buy so many of those, though I never want them till you show me your pics!
Enjoy!

Very nice you Lilypad addict!

Today's mani is Ciate Kiss Chase with KBShimmer Toast-ess with the Mostest. I was going to do some stamping on it, but it was stupidly late by the time I got around to doing my nails, so maybe tonight if I'm still awake after the children go to bed. My younger daughter is in a school play and needs picking up at 9 pm, last night she only made it to bed at 11. Yawn!

Thank you.

Glad to hear you've found something, hopefully a full time role will come along soon too.

Very nice mani.
On another note, did your bottle of Illusion (FUN Ltd Edition) come in a black box?
I just went to use mine and I can't find it anywhere, I've spent an hour looking for it, no luck and I wonder if it's in a box at all, or a black one, or a gold one, or...
Anyhow, giving up now but if you could tell me how yours was delivered it might help my eyes to spot it if I know what it looks like!

Sounds like you're having a similar day to me. I was putting away some polishes, opened a box, it had the Glam Polish Oh. Em. Gee trio in it minus Oh. Nearly had a heart attack. Then noticed that one half of the Mei Mei duo wasn't in it either. Looked for them for ages before I had the sense to look at my spreadsheet and funnily enough I had mixed the two up and put Oh. with the other half of the duo in another box. Doh!

Anyway, Illusion came in a silver holo box with gold writing and a gold sticker on top. Hope you find it.

I found it, under the bed, must have fallen through the slats somehow!
And fyi, even the foil method won't remove Four Poster Bed, that's a good hour I've spent trying to get all those gorgeous glitters to part company with my nails!

So I got my EPs!
Entwined is delightful, love it sooo much!
My Daydream is a pale minty green - pretty.
Not so taken with the Desert Sunrise - in the bottle, doesn't look as good as the swatch pics I saw before buying - hopefully it will be nicer on.
And also a bit disappointed with Festival - when I bought I wasn't sure what to expect, but I thought it was in a grey holo base. In real life the base is clear, so definitely a multi-glitter topper.
I ordered as two deliveries, and that's what arrived, so much cheaper than customs to pay the extra postage direct.

Wearing Chanel Elixir right now. I haven't purchased a Chanel NP in a while since I decided I liked wider brushes more so I don't have many of the more current offerings. For some reason I recall Elixir being a spring or summer release but it kinda feels like fall to me.

Been loving Dior offerings and picked up Corail and Star recently along with Glory.

I peeked at YSL nail polishes but nothing drew my attention. :-(

Thank you!

Great haul, the FFs look really nice!

Nice mani!

wow!

great job!

Very nice! I'll have to buy some foil sometime.

I haven't been to the MAC pro store here... which is silly because it's not far away at all!

This hand is nice too!

Pretty mani, the bows are very cute!

Argh is right. Sorry you haven't got your stuff yet!

My light blockers are just fabric curtains, it's some weird special fabric though, I can hold a high power flashlight behind them and never know it was there!

Not sure when the chairs were bought but the original webbing was orange and brown so I'm going to say no later than the very early 80s lol

Summer just started and I'm in for a weekend of very cool temperatures(highs of 17C) and heavy rain, yay... not! lol

Thanks, Fuzzy! The temperature is like that (below + 20 C) here, it's been raining, too, but now it's mostly sunny, but no warmth

Multithanks Fuzzy! Love Raindrops, it's one of my fave polishes!
Thank you, Anneri! I actually moved back home almost two weeks ago - and was out of water and drainage for 9 days!

And I still have no *******.

EDIT: I do not know what this ******* is. It's supposed to say *******.

EDIT2: WTF! K I T C H E N - is that a forbidden word???

Looks very delicate! I also have a few Arcanes but have never worn them.
