As @Anitacska says Color4Nails stock AE, as do http://www.beautometry.com/A_England_Products_s/1834.htmwell crap. I don't buy indies generally speaking. I go to LLarowe to find my A Englands which do not ship directly to customers in the states as far as I can tell. I know the UK got strict about polish a couple of years ago. I do not know where I will be able to pick up my holos now. I won't deal with the frenzy that EP sounds to be and I don't know any other brands {okay I have a couple of nerd lacquers from before the drama that I bought off of etsy} and I have one or two from other brands via etsy as well.
cries in her teacups and pets her mainstream polishes
Decided to pass on the Takko restock, they are nice, but I'm fed up with the shipping charges from Llarowe and I want to get some Cupcakes and those new BOW polishes instead. Have you lot seen those?You're welcome. I've just looked and I can't see Jabberwocky though. Weird. I have most of what's listed atm, but will check it again tomorrow in case she's still updating.
That might be the most wanted CN polish. Unfortunately I do not have it, surely would have bougth it a few years ago if it had been available. Can't say if it's worth $35 though.Does anyone have Cult Nails Unicorn Puke? I'm thinking of getting it off a blog sale but I'm not sure it's worth the $35 they're asking. It looks gorgeous in swatches though!
Love both your manis. Weird about August 2014 though, I thought it would be more duochrome, but maybe it's just the photo.Here are the latest manis. They were really difficult to photograph though. First is EP August 2014. This was rather interesting. It looks blue to purple in the bottle, but on nails it was a really nice green teal most of the time. The problem was that even it looked green to my eye, the cam said it's blue or just really dark something. I'm also wearing Elevation East London as accent. It was better on a white polish, it just looks a holo over a dark one.
The second one is Different Dimension Right On - kind of raspberry neon (but looked coral in my IG pic). Here's a photo I took with my worse phone so it's off. The pink is darker irl.

*drops dead*Thanks for the tip re Elevation. Will look into it.
I didn't bother with the Takkos, but did order some Cupcakes from RC and some Bow and Dance Legend from Hypnotic Polish.
I don't own any RBL or Cult myself.

My current mani is China Glaze Shell We Dance? I really like this one.
And here's my gigantic Lilypad order. There are some really lovely polishes there, especially the 3 purples in the top left corner and the 6 with flakies in the middle row (on the left).
My Lilypad count is at 148 now, oops. Same as my CbLs, but I'm expecting 2 of those to arrive today, so will be up to 150. My EP count is up to 109 now.
Anytime Anneri!Let me know when you need somebody to ship something to you! We could do the same thing like we did with FF if you want to.
And what's that about MAC? Is everything from W&D still in stock at least?
I'd buy some LLarowe flakie toppers and and call it a day. $35 is a bit steep imo!
I really like Lulu from Elevation and I'm really digging her new Marco Polo collab with Palish, so I'll be definitely checking out ordering from her directly.
I totally love the DD. Neon on steroids!
*drops dead*
I'd love to come over and look though your polish stash!
Wow, what a haul! I have like 350 polishes total and I was looking through them last thinking...that's too much...but if my hubs complains I can just show him this postThanks for the tip re Elevation. Will look into it.

Thanks for the input. $35 seems like a lot because it's also used so 80% left. It is tempting though....Thanks. I don't know why but the entire np shipping world suddenly seems to be against me. And as to Mac, I'm really getting fed up with them!
Really pretty that RB!

I recommend ordering Elevations directly from Elevation. It's cheaper, the regular (= non-limited) restocks seldom sell out (and she restocks regularly anyways), and I've never had any problems with the shipping.
I'll most likely order all four EPs, too. Just have to decide if I'll do 2+2 or 1+3. I think she's always had that "allow many weeks for delivery" thing.
AEs are great, but I also have the same problem as you: they are the second choice.
I would have ordered a Takko but there was no chance again. I was let in like 3 minutes past. Everything was gone.
I have four or five of them and unfortunately just a bad experience. When I wore the one and only so far I had such a trouble with the formula. Unfortunately I had just ordered a few more. Have not been tempted to order more even with free international shipping and all. I should try out the others. I was under the impression that they we popular (?) but I rarely see people wear them.

You could try Picture Polish Festival over a purple base or like Anneri said, CbL does flakies too that are similar. Or Girly Bits, Darling Diva, etc.Thanks for the input. $35 seems like a lot because it's also used so 80% left. It is tempting though....
Hahaha, I like being the bad example. Truth is 350 is probably already too much, but I passed that number a looooong time ago.Wow, what a haul! I have like 350 polishes total and I was looking through them last thinking...that's too much...but if my hubs complains I can just show him this post
Anytime Anneri!
I'm quite excited actually, when hubby moves out and takes his stuff, I should have space in my bedroom for a couple of Helmers, maybe even 3. Can't wait to have my stash a bit more accessible. As it is, I've completely run out of storage for nail polish. It won't be too soon, probably around the autumn, the house he wants to buy isn't available yet. Something to look forward to, eh?
That's great! I actually got another Helmer (thankfully they have not been discontinued after all, just new colours, I got an orange one) last month. I put it in a closet and it is totally for non-np and non-mu purposes. My mother (= the car aid) was again like why? why you'd need yet another one? In a few weeks I have to tell her that we need to make another trip to Ikea because I need one more Helmer. I was just arranging my NPs I had with me when I was in exile and there's not enough room for them.

I would just like to say:My Stackry packages have arrived!!!!
I can't post pictures at the moment, I'm off to pick up my daughter from horseriding, but I've checked everything and it's all there and everything is fine. So happy right now!
FedEx priority, the most expensive shipping rate, but yes, it was surprisingly fast especially considering that they said it would take days for the paperwork to get sorted.Wow, they arrived quickly!
