Thank you for the update, Anitacska! I have got some Glams and some Bears waiting to get shipped from Stackry. I'm especially anxious about the Bears, I ordered three times from her and every time something went wrong. The first time the formula of all four was extremely sheer and only with a tiny amount of holo (I later learned they were supposed to be 1-2 coaters but they were super sheer even with 4 coats), the second time Stackry decided not to ship them to me (not Bear Pawlish's fault, I know) and the third time two bottles arrived broken. She was so kind and generous to offer replacement for the broken polishes with my next order but at the moment I am unsure if and when I'll order again, I'd like to wait for the Stackry package to see if the formulas are ok. I know the Stackry thing and the breaking of the bottles is not her fault but maybe the universe is trying to tell me to not have Bears.
Oh no, sorry to hear you've had troubles with the Bear Pawlish polishes. I have to admit, I haven't worn any of mine, but I had no trouble with them arriving safely. My second order is on its way right now. Hope you like the ones you have at Stackry. She really should've just sent you replacements without you placing another order, when I ordered from ILNP and she accidentally left a polish out, she just sent it separately (and immediately).

Well, I broke my 10 day long no buy and ordered some Glams from Mei Mei. Normally I would've waited for RC to have them, but I really wanted to pink trio and didn't want to miss out as we're off to France tomorrow for 9 days, so my internet access will be much reduced. But there isn't much else I want right now, so probably won't place another order until we're back.

My current mani is Dance Legend Big Bang with EP Ola Rio on the accents. They are very similar, hard to tell apart, same shift, everything, but obviously the DL has holo glitter and the EP is just multicolour fine glitter. I am shocked how much is missing from my Ola Rio, I've only ever used it twice, once for a full mani, and this time for accents, but about a fifth is missing from the bottle. Shocking.

I also did my toes with Art Deco no. 235.

Have a nice break!
Love Big Bang, it was great on me and it's just as good on you - and a great match with OR. Can't believe it's evaporated so much - not good. Love your blue toes too!

I put on Chanel Sweet Star last week. I know, I know I always say never again to Chanel because chips and teeny brush but I saw it and bought it. The purple silver duochrome shifts and slightly holographic sparkles made me happy all last week. Just put on Nars Purple Rain pre reformulation. I haven't tried the new Nars yet

So, these suddenly popped up on the EP website but were removed fast. People are speculating she's planning a surprise restock and accidentally activated the pics. They couldn't be ordered but probably soon... 3 holos and 1 holo topper with flakies.

Ugh, I hope it's not a surprise restock, I hate those. Even hate a scheduled restock, if they're not pre-orders. The colours look nice, but I'm tired of playing her games.

I am so glad my holo loving ways haven't fallen for them yet... well I am drooling over swatches because hello I live but I haven't tried to snag any nor do I anticipate doing so. Too Much Trouble

There are two of those calling my name - such a shame I won't get them if it's going to be a secret restock :(
But thanks for the info anyway!

Hi, been mia again. I've just been so busy and exhausted with my summer projects, and last week I was away.

Here are my two latest manis, First is Zoya Arabella with Lilypad Lacquer Concrete Rainbows on the accents and stamping with YSL White Gold, second is Cadillacquer Crystal with KBShimmer Sand in my Stocking.







There was no sun yesterday, it was a horrible, hot, humid, but gloomy day. Ugh.
Pretty combos again! Concrete Rainbows looks really nice.

Somebody said on the FB group that EP posted on Instagram to say swatches and launch info coming soon. Apparently people are begging her to make it a pre-order. Would make more sense than a normal launch.

@MRV from what I understand it was the Fashion Night Out shade which means it wasn't released in the US at first. Colormeloud did a post on it

I was online thinking of buying some A Englands just when the holo A Box Indied went up {I do not subscribe to their newsletter so honestly did not know about it} They are doing halos this month so i went for it. I never have done one of their boxes or those beauty box services before. I like picking and choosing my things

Do people trade the colors they do not like? Of course I want the teal and pink from last month but I do not want to spend $50 for 2 polishes

I cannot find this on the Chanel nail thread so I suppose it is from here.. somebody commented that vampy colors are for fall and winter. It tickled my funny bone since Vamp was a spring release. I was appreciating the Darkness of Nars Purple Haze with Vendetta on accent finger but switched to RBL Bella to palette cleanse before my halos arrive.

I do wish I had kept the rest of this RBL collection. Unfortunately I do not get opaqueness from RBL and it tends to be streaky as well so I did part with the set except for this because I always can use white tips for frenchies....I have on 2 coats and it is a streaky mess. And as for coverage looks like one of the OPI ballet collections. So if I was going to keep one I should have kept Jack for the color. sigh
