I remember there was a huge fuss about Toga Toga Toga when the refunds were happening - she offered a refund if you'd bought from a third party, at retail value, and there were actually people who thought she'd refund them the fortune they'd paid to eBay scalpers, when she meant the RRP as a refund! Then because it was in the box, they wanted refunds on the full box price, not just part of it, because they'd only bought the set to get that one. It all went much more OTT than the issue with the single colours did.
Nice mani, but very... black! You're right, it reminds me of the one I posted.
Your new DDs are very sparkly, lovely!
By the way, I just had my EP shipping notice!
So did I! Well, at least for the half of them. Not sure now if she's going to combine or not.


Looks like I've forgotten to post my previous mani: this is Color Club Eternal Beauty (with some KBS Eclipse). The accent sould have been spots but the polishes had an odd reaction and it looked like some space fog!




My current mani is a Pahlish mystery polish. The one they sent me is called Mink, it's a test batch polish. And some Elevation Aguja St. Exupery.

Yes, Sideshow Sparkler showed SO when the restock came up, and every time I have checked it out since. I don't have Solar Storm yet, but I'm not going to order just one.

I wrote to DD about Whatever 2.0. Let's see what she says.

I think Elevation makes some really nice polishes. I don't know about Pahlish yet because I had only 4 of them until now, not all worn (although I think I'm going to favour brands with no extra fuss or taxes). FF is the most awesome+versatile atm imo.

Oh, that's a pity. I also have BFAM. A second 'just black' polish.

Yes, it did look interesting!

Hope you'll be able to get Sideshow Sparkler, it's very pretty.

Thanks for writing to DD, hopefully she'll take it seriously.

Both your manis are gorgeous, but I especially love the purple one. Love the "space fog" effect!

I will post some haul and mani pictures later, but I need to go and fix up some supper right now.

Haul pictures as promised:


Celestial and EdMs from RC





Takkos from Mei Mei









PP from Mei Mei





And I picked these up in Tesco, because I'm not buying nail polish this week.

My mani is EdM Mystic Topaz with Hare Pegasus. The EdM isn't as silver as it looks in my pictures, it has lots of pink and blue shimmer, so it looks more purpley.

I haven't been to H&M, I almost never get to the mall.

Thanks! It was fun!

Very pretty mani!


Very nice, I like the heart!

That is a really great blue!

and nice haul!

nice haul! I really like the polishes you made! One makes me think colour-wise of Dollish Polish Penny, Penny, Penny which I should wear!

Nice! I really like Sand in my Stocking, maybe if I have some money at some point it will still be around lol

Nice little haul and nice mani, too! very fresh
Thanks, Fuzzy! I hope you can get SIMS.


Current mani's FF Her Imperial Majesty (with Elevation Mount Cangyan and Pahlish White Moon).



While I was going through my used Elevations I noticed a polish and thought 'didn't I just order this?!' and yup, I've just ordered one polish twice!
cry.gif
No wonder I had the feeling 'why don't I have this polish yet?'. It was not listed and since it was going to be discontinued I ordered it and now I have two of them! Plus, not too along ago, I noticed that another Elevation was not listed even though I had it.
nope.gif

Love both of those! I do have the CC all unworn in my drawer, it looks lovely on you. Interesting fog effect!
I have a soft spot for Pahlish, though I don't have many. I keep wanting to buy more! It's a great combo with the EP.

Oh, pretties! How do you like Forever and Ever? I was contemplating it but did not order it, just Unobtanium

. The Takkos are really nice, the left one and the two on the right especially.

Pretty mani! Pegasus is nice, I don't think I have MT though.

Another gorgeous mani, very classy - I love the artwork.
How annoying it is to buy dupes, what a shame.

New mani!
Indigo Bananas - Alcatraz:


In real life it's very much a seafoam green, my camera's not playing nice as usual!
This is very pretty!

My current mani is Liquid Sky Lacquer Forget Me Not and Dream (silver holo with blue to violet flakies).



I also did my toes for probably the last time this year, it's CbL Rednecks & Rubies.



Still no sign of my C4N orders. No updates from USPS, nothing.

Thanks Fuzzy!


Thanks! I really like F&E, it's quite a muted pine green colour, but very pretty.

Nice mani! Need to get myself some zebra vinyls!

I've done that several times too. And sometimes I see a polish and think, ooh, I love it, then check and realise I have it!

Thank you!

Finally caught up! Last week was so hot and exhausting. Its finally cooled down, ah! My mani: China Glaze Smoke and Ashes, the shimmer is a little more hidden than I would like it to be. I think others had the same complaint.

Great mani, love the accent! I haven't ordered anything accidentally twice just a couple on purpose twice lol the bright green china glaze polish I wore last would be one of them. I hope I don't lose my list when I change phones eventually!

Very nice, great holo!

Thanks, Fuzzy! Oh, I don't want to think about loosing my NP lists on my phone. (I've already lost calendar notes :( ). My phone's really old though (3G
noworry.gif
) so some day I will have to get a new one.

What's with this 'it's just black' black polishes? I think SaA looks nice though, goes well with your skin tone.


Latest mani's Pahlish Khanbaliq with Cirque Cypress.

Thanks, PQ! You need to pull that CC out, it's lovely! Talking about CC, I got two of the new CC holos, Just My Luck and What's Your Sign?


Oh, lovely! The holo is so pretty and love this colour, too.


Thanks! Those zebra vinyls are a PITA!
girlhaha.gif


Lovely mani! Are the flakies visible (the shift)? We've also been having a really nice weather but I still have not done any pedis this year. Red looks nice on toes.

Aw, hope you'll get your C4N orders.

Just popped into my mind: I got the third NP Helmer last week. I assembled it but have not put anything in it yet. I hope I won't run out of drawer space soon because there's no more room for new Helmers.

Love your new avatar, so cute!!!

Thank you! Yes, the flakies and the shift are pretty visible.

Where did you order the Halo Hues from? Dappen dish?
girlhaha.gif
I've just checked, but she doesn't have all the shades in stock. I have actually preordered them from C4N, but I have now e-mailed her to ask her to cancel and refund them since I'm really wary about ordering from her again.

Very pretty mani.

Seriously impressed by Femme Fatale. Just got a message from DHL to say I need to pay VAT on my order from them (expected) and it's £3.46. I was expecting to pay much much more, I ordered 12 polishes I think. So thank you MRV for mentioning it, I shall be ordering from them again.

Lucky you! I just got a message from local DHL and they tried to mislead me to pay for their services 18,60 Euros minimun on top of the VAT which will be over 26 Euros (!). I called them and said I won't pay any extra. Unfortunately I'm not able to avoid the VAT. I have to declare it fully. If not, I'm screwed if they want to see the receipt.

On a better note, my first two EPs came through!

Current mani's PP allure. I got some stickers with the order so I slapped some on.
