My latest mani is Grace-full Polish - Vlad III: The Tyrant
It looks so different as the light changes!

This is very pretty! I only have a couple of Grace-full Polishes, I couldn't be bothered to start with a new brand, only got the RC anniversary exclusive and the one in the box.My latest mani is Grace-full Polish - Vlad III: The Tyrant

I placed an order with Glam last night for the Halloween polishes (the trio and a few of the LE flakies), didn't go too mad, quite proud of myself.
Still waiting for my Lilypads from a month ago, they're coming via her US distributor, that's going to be an epic nail mail.
Have you seen the new EdMs?

I'm looking forward to seeing the PTR polishes! It's the kind of box I'd probably have bought at Llarowe prices, but not at RC ones. I didn't realise you would already have it!I like this on you! Didn't get these for myself as they're not really my colour, but they are pretty.
I broke another nail while gardening and my cuticles are looking quite bad at the moment. The garden's sorted now, so they should hopefully recover.
Love the accent nail!
Thank you!
I got the box yesterday, I think you're right, the colours aren't that unique. The CbL isn't half as bright as it looked in the pictures. It's pretty though. I'll post pictures later.
Thanks.

That's the only Grace-Full polish I've got so far, but I'm impressed enough that I may end up getting a few more.
I had great news yesterday, I've been offered a full time permanent job - not great money, but an improvement on my part time salary - I may have celebrated with a few of those new Glam Halloween polishes...
I really like that EdM collection, such pretty colours. I do have a soft spot for her holos particularly.
Just too many gorgeous polishes, it's hard to finance keeping up with them - and I really fancy the latest Powder Perfect set as well, waiting for C4N or a European dealer to pick them up!

Ooh, what new PP set? Have you got a link?
That's great news about your job! More money is always good, even if it's not that great. I have no hope in hell finding a part time job that fits around school hours and school holidays. Luckily my husband has agreed to a rather generous monthly maintenance, plus I'll have a nice big sum of savings in my account, so although I won't be able to spend hundreds on polish, I will be able to afford a few polishes here and there. Firstly I need to get some storage though, but that will only happen after he's moved out - looking like it'll be next month.
I have a shed load of new polishes that arrived over the last few days.
Color Club multichromes
RC haul with anniversary exclusives and CbL charity polish
Paint The Rainbow box (middle is Freckles Polish). There was also a sheet of nail vinyls and some Rainbow Drops.
EP Monsters Ink. This cost me £17.
Finally my mani which is one of the worst ones ever. It's Liquid Sky Lacquer Ambridge Rose topped with Maybelline Color Show Tutti Fruity. The LSL was very sheer, 3 coats and still VNL, the Maybelline is also very sheer. It has some blue to green glitter on it that didn't show up in the pictures. Then I fell asleep and crinkled it on my middle finger. Meh. Will change it today. Need to get an inspiration, but now have a cold, so will probably be very tired by the evening.
Not nail related, but I went to a gig last night and met this guy afterwards.

Nice haul! The CCs look cool (though maybe not unique!).
The CbL charity polish looks nicer than I expected too.
Thanks for PTR pic, I'm fairly happy I skipped this again, though the Grace-full may be calling my name! I'm still waiting for my Monsters Ink, I love it from your pic.
That mani is poor, not up to your usual standards at all - it's a bit old fashioned looking! But yay on meeting one of your musical inspirations!
Hope you feel better soon!

Very pretty. I've yet to use mine.A quick mani post: EdM Garnet Fire.
My small RC order came today. The only things outstanding now are 3 Australian orders, one from Lilypad, one from Glam and one from FF. And i have a Glam parcel waiting at Stackry already, but I'll ship the two together. Now I have to try and be good. We'll see how long that lasts, lol. I do really want the new Polished by KPT and the new EdMs, and I'm guessing there'll be some nem EP monthlies soon as well seeing that it's now October.

Keep forgetting to say this, MRV, I've got a refund from Different Dimension, After starting a Paypal dispute and escalating it to a claim not having heard from her for a week, she finally e-mailed me to ask if I'd like a different polish or a refund. Apparently she had been trying to reformulate the polish for me, but wasn't successful. Sounds like BS to me, but at least I've got the money back. Has she contacted you since?
Also, EP has sent me an e-mail about the monthlies pre-order this Saturday at 10 am PDT (I think that's 6 pm UK time). It will last 24 hours and it's for Sept, Oct and Nov. In case you didn't get the e-mail again.
Oh and bloody USPS only went and delivered my package to the wrong address this time! I ordered a few of the Halloween Glams for me and another lady and had them sent to Stackry, only to find that the tracking shows it's been delivered, but they don't have it. Apparently USPS will try to get it back from wherever it is and redeliver it. Fingers crossed, as these are really LE and I'd hate to miss out on them. Argh!

Lol, no, it was his gig. He played quite a few Europe songs from the time has was with the band, but sadly his voice isn't up to Joey's at all. Still it was fun and he was very nice and friendly.Thanks! Oh, gardening is tough to hands. I was tending my plants a few weeks ago and my hands were all scratchy afterwards.
Yes, those EdMs are really lovely! I try not to get too many 'just' holos (still ordered a few EdMs recently), but I have to get 2-4 of these!
Congratulations, PQ! I hope you'll like it in your new job (did you accept the offer?), that's important, too.

Oh, that's great! I have not heard anything from her.

Zut! Why people accept packages that are not theirs?? Hope you will get them back/replaced. I think I need that Glam trio, too.

That's nice. Sounds like you had a lovely time.
Here you often run into celebrities. Like today I had lunch at the same place with a singer/musician who was really popular in the 80's and again currently. Come to think of it, we are actually very low key. My colleague told recently that he had seen the president of the republic between the aisles of a local megamarket - and no security in sight!

Pretty for the fall! And nice shift. I don't have this one.
Hope you're feeling better already. I was also under the wearther two weeks ago, but it was just a nuisance - and a lost week.
Thanks! What's that brand on the left?
I'm not sure if anyone's really into Zoya here.
Very pretty! Love. I also have the PP, and can't wait to get the ILNP.

It's Esmaltes da Kelly.
Thank you.
It seems a Paypal claim might be the way to go.
Thankfully my package has been found and delivered into my Stackry locker. Phew!
Today's mani is Lilypad Lacquer Fuchsia Flame. On the accents i used Barry M Orchid, then had the bright idea to do a watermarble on top with EP Queen of the Castle and Ciate Confetti which is a glitter topper. Turns out glitters don't watermarble. So ended up just throwing a lot more glitter on top of the EP. It looks nice and sparkly, just not what I was aiming for.

About DD: I gather you ordered the polish directly from DD. I got mine from Llarowe so a claim might not be an option for me.Thanks. Still not feeling great. Also very tired.

That's good news!
I've also been wondering about watermarbling glitters, now we know it's not working. Some sparkly combos would be nice to try out. I've noticed that many toppers show up better on lighter polishes though (like East London did). That Lilypad looks really nice, but it does not seem to be available any more.
Latest manis: CC Cash Only with some Bundle Monster stamping. At first there were some difficulties, I dunno, could not get anything on the new stamper.
And an Elevation SBP: Wild Eyed Child of the Sun with some stickers from SSSS. The Elevation is kind of a metallic neon jelly holo!
