Nice colours! I haven't used one of those corrector pens, I was tempted to buy one a while ago, but never got round to it.

That's ever so pretty.Today's mani is Ciate Sugar Plum with Chaos & Crocodiles Epic Snow Day. I know it's more of a Christmas topper, but who cares? Besides, only 4 months to go now until Christmas!

That's beautifully autumnal, I like the effect.Nice combo! The topper reminds me of something similar I have. No idea which one.
Thanks Fuzzy!
Hardware's hardcore!This reminds me that I have a list of EdMs and Elevations that are going to be discontinued. Will post then soon.
Pretty combo and totally suitable for this time of the year!
My current mani's FF The Secret of Secrets. I've been waiting to wearing this one. It's really complex, flakies and glitters in kind of a iridescent coppery base.

Nice! I'm a sucker for a duochrome, I may have to pop in.I gotta say, if you get the possibility: GO into H&M and check out the 3 or 4 duochrome polishes they have in their new beauty line. This is Purple Aura!

Nice! I need that last Lilypad...That's a very pretty polish. I think I got it.
Thanks. EP Seven Nation Army? Only this one is just different sized black glitter with multicolour shimmer.
Thanks. I'm pretty sure I already have every one of these that I wanted. There's some new EdMs coming out, some look very pretty.
Also the new FF collection and the fall CbLs!
Ooh this is very interesting. I may pop into H&M sometime soon. There's a small one in this town, but they might not haves many nps.
Possibly my last pedi of the year (it's getting quite cool now), Girly Bits Ho-Ho-Hope. The picture isn't great, it's a much prettier colour irl.
My small haul from RC, these are 3 of the exclusive Lilypads. Love the new bottle design!

Sounds like some nice haul pics on the way soon! Looking forward to seeing them. The Dollishes look nice, I've never bought any of those.It's been very quiet here. How is everyone? Hope you're all comfortable. It was very hot here yesterday, but now it's much cooler and it's raining. So I'm guessing that's the end of the summer here.
I've been really naughty lately and placed several orders, including some Different Dimension shooting stars polishes, the new Color Club holos, some C4N exclusive Lilypads and Cupcakes and some of the new CbLs and Funs from RC. Oh dear.
I also received my Dollish Polish order, really wanted the LE trio (on the left) and picked up a few others as well while I was at it, hahaha.
Here are my recent manis, first one is Revlon Wild (I got this in the US in April) with some wonky swirls with GOSH Frosted Soft Green textured polish. The vinyls were very hard to use, I ended up wasting 7 to get 4 fingers done.
The second one I'm really pleased with though, it's CbL Legion of Boom with KBShimmer Let's Get Star-ted and some stamping.
It was my younger daughter's 11th birthday on Wednesday and we watched The Little Mermaid while I painted her finger and toe nails and they turned out really well. It was such a nice thing to do, she's the only one who shares my love of polish,she already has a nice little selection herself.
Love your manis, especially the green and swirly one - shame it was a pain to work with those vinyls, they're one of the designs that have tempted me.

I feel you, it is ridiculously warm here in Denmark and Ive spent the day trying to empty and stash the pool away since we wont be able to use it anymore. So.. warm...I'm here, too! It's just so darn hot (+28 C inside at 7 pm)and I'm trying to arrange things. I'll be back tomorrow. Have a nice evening, all!

Oh dear! Poor you! It was very hot here yesterday (30 C), but cooled down today, so I'm happy. Have a nice evening and hope it cools down soon!

We still have two more hot days. It's +27 C again, the same tomorrow. Then it's going to cool down, first cool days in weeks. Hopefully everything gets more normal and I can actually do something and not just sweat. A pool sounds so nice! Hope it was plenty of fun for you.
My latest mani's KBS Bahama Drama with Orly Brush It On.

Another lovely bright choice!Nice! Thanks for the tip, I have to go and check them out.
Thanks, I think you have it.
I was thinking of some other polish, maybe from KBS.
I picked up a few Elevations on Saturday.
Do you mean the latest FF collection? I have not been able to order any yet.
Nice pedi and lovely Lilypads!
Which polish are you using?
Pretty haul and that swirl mani is sooo pretty! Love the glow and the swirls of course. I know, those vinyls can be so frustrating.
The second mani's really cool!

My new mani is Colors by Llarowe Black Gold, Texas Tea:
The holo in this is way too subtle - the first pic is its normal look, the second is under halogens, and you can barely see the holo. In strong sunlight, there's a very vague hint (much less than this pic).
I believe it was reformulated after I bought, so maybe the later version has a bit more vavavoom!
I'm not a big fan of black polish, and every time I notice my hands I just feel it looks too stark - I think this will be more of a base colour for glitters in future.
On a plus note, I've been wearing for a couple of days and no tipwear at all, which is unusual for a dark colour like this. And it was nearly a one-coater too, just a couple of bald spots meant I needed two.

Anyone seen the furore over Mentality over the last couple of weeks?
http://www.themercurialmagpie.com/2015/08/mentality-polish-mistakes-happen-but-this-response-is-unacceptable.html
I have so nearly bought some many times, it's just luck that I haven't yet - but I thought I'd post this in case anyone who owns some hasn't heard about the medical issues they've been causing.

Yes, I've been following it on IG and FB. To me the most disturbing thing isn't what happened to people, it's how they've been dealing wit the issue. They're now apparently not refunding anyone and the guys seems to be having a mental breakdown. I'm guessing (hoping) they'll have to close down soon, especially now that the lawyers of the makers of Armitex(?) base have got in touch with them. Apparently they've mixed their own base, it went wrong, so they blamed it on the makers of the original base. Trouble is, that base is used by companies like Nubar and noone else has reported any issues with it. I have a few of their older polishes and I'm pretty sure they're fine, but I also bought one for my daughter in February and that might be a dodgy one. Luckily she hasn't used it yet and isn't into nail polish anyway (that's my older daughter).
