This is such a pretty polish! I think I've worn it, too.
My mother manages to annoy me, too!
I've never had anything special at NY either, not even own fire works!
Anna looks lovely (and pretty combo!), I only got Ariel.
Congrats!
Looks pretty though! I like the transparency.
Those green Glams!Pretty manis, love the first one and the glitters are nice in the second. Reminds me of some KBS glitters.
Hey, Anneri! Nice to hear from you. Great that you've managed to arrange things for your upcoming move. Hope you will be able to stay online with us. Too bad the prices are hiked up down there, I'm confident you will have some possibilities though, like the Asian brands (Japanese and Korean), not to mention the Asian/Aussie NP. Hope you will get a new phone soon, it's a big bummer to loose one's phone.
I'm trying to get the FF trio from a retailer, not ordering from there now. I've been splurging on shoes, bags, clothes, yarns and other stuff of late. I have not ordered anything but the Enchanteds this year (a few still on their way though), and from shops only got a few discounted Chanels & YSL, and two from Kiko once I got to go there.
Sorry about the formulas, it's a cute mani though.
Bette looks very nice! Sorry about your flu, hope you're feeling better already.
Uh, I have not posted manis in ages. Coming soon...
That is a seriously pretty mani! I thought I had Bette, but evidently not. I've not bought many PPs lately, they are suddenly very expensive (over £10).
Sorry to hear about your cold and radiator issues. It just shows we all have the same problems wherever we live. Luckily my cold has finally gone (I had one for about 10 days) and my radiators are working fine at the moment. No doubt something else will go wrong soon (I'm ever the optimist, not!).
Oh, blimey, -25 C is seriously cold! We sometimes get that in Hungary too, that's why I hate Hungarian winters. I'm really cold here as it is and it's +5 C. But also windy and that makes it feel a lot colder.
Thank you on all counts.
I will let you know on here if there's anything happening in the FF group. The one thing I'm aware of atm is that she's making 3 customs for the HHC (Hella Holo Customs) group. Not sure if you're part of that. They look very pretty. Also EdM is having a samples sale soon, but that's not group specific, I don't think.
Sorry to hear about your experience with Harlow & Co. Do these people not realise they live from their customers??? I had a fallout with Annette from RC, her FB group is ridiculously censored and she has her henchmen to monitor it all the time. So you literally can't post anything or get told off straight away. Eh. Also that time with Different Dimension was a bit odd too, I had already started a Paypal dispute by the time she bothered to offer a solution.
My EPs shipped yesterday too, but they are going to the US first. I didn't want to risk customs again, but someone said that the $24 she now puts on the package just slips through customs, so that's good.
Wow, what a lot of gorgeous manis! I especially love the EdMs and FFs and the last one with the EP and EvP!
Multithanks!
I've just booked our summer holiday to Portugal, so I seriously need to budget now. I don't have any extra money for the holiday really as what my husband pays us only covers the day to day stuff (which is already a lot with 3 children, 3 cats, a dog and a large house to maintain), but luckily I have some savings. I really wanted to have a beach holiday this year as we had to miss our planned holiday to Portugal 2 years ago due to the huge issues with my daughter. I'm also painfully aware that my eldest is now 14 (15 this year) and will not want to go on holiday with us soon.
That said, I managed to order some polishes yesterday despite saying I wasn't going to. Anyone heard of Polished for Days? Wow, she makes gorgeous polishes! Also got a few things from Harlow & Co, hope they arrive without any problems.
I also picked up a few polishes in Superdrug and TKMaxx yesterday.
I can already tell that we very likely won't get swatches before the release. We didn't get some for the last collections as well. Hate that. Love the nude, the teal and the dark purple - the silver might be a topcoat?
Has anybody heard about a date yet? Given my luck with the last collection which was released while I was on the plane I guess it will be released next weekend when I'm away with no internet access.
Looks like we are in a hot spot after all - we have only about -10C now. Not far from here, up north/east, they've have had around -30C today. After you spend some time in -30C, the -20C feels quite nice actually!
I can imagine the Puszta winds. We get breezes directly from Siberia! Do you often go back home?
Thanks! I think my np purchaces will be quite low from now on. As I said, I've been getting other things and fallen behind with one brand I've collected (also missed a few things that will be hard to get now), and just noticed today that they are putting out more stuff soon.
RC- that is so ridiculous! That censorship backfires in the end.
EP - you mean she puts $24 for three now?
Thanks!
Portugal sounds lovely! Hmm, my cousin's daughter lives there... I'm more of a town holiday person myself, not a sunbather.
Hey, they seem to work fine! People always ask me "don't the polishes dry up" (and "just how many do you have"), and I'm like what? I might be able to find out my oldest polishes if I search my email. Probably some CGs.
Thank you, PQ! I'm not sure if I'm a big fan of Cydonia Glimmer myself.
It's very pretty!
Oh, that RC exclusive Copper something is lovely! I also got one of those HK polishes, the blue one. Pretty Zoyas, love the orange.
What a lovely polish! Beautiful!
I like the coppery mani! I also want some of the OPI HK polishes, and I'm ashamed to say it's just for the HK bottles.
Before Christmas I went through my stash of makeup and nailpolish and through out a lot of the older stuff and gave them to the local refugee center, so I don't have any really old untrieds! I think my oldest ones are from 2014 and are Kiko polishes.
Super pretty manis! I just got my first YSL polish over the weekend, the new one from the Spring Collection, Green Peace. Looks a bit like EDM Copper Patina. Haven't tried it yet though.
I'm wearing a lot of my older favourite nailpolishes atm, and botching nail art attempts, lol! Also ripped off some nails, argh. Not a great year's beginning for polished nails!
Thank you.
Very cold here as well, it was -4 C at night. I know it's not very cold per se, but it is for the south of England. We even had a bit of snow on Sunday!
No, we don't go to Hungary very often at all. Last time we went was June 2014. We were going to go this summer, but I don't have a budget for two holidays, so I've decided not to. Never go in the winter now, I think we last went about 9 years ago. Too cold and my Mum's place is too small for 7 (or now only 6, but still). It's okay in the spring/summer, when you can go outside.
I'd love to do more city holidays, but with 3 children in tow it's not ideal. Would love to go to Iceland one day, and hoping to go back to Finland and Sweden soon too. A beach holiday however is much easier with children.
Yes, apparently EP put $24 for 3 polishes. It's still borderline and would worry me, but I might try it next time, especially if I have nothing else going to Stackry.
All my old polishes work fine, well, except maybe a handful, I did throw out a couple of dried in ones, and that Color Club faded massively, but 99% is still fine.
The Fun mani is gorgeous!
Ouch! Sorry about your nails!
Nothing to be ashamed about, HK is cute. I have some HK socks and both my daughters think I'm weird, lol. They used to love HK, but are obviously too cool for it now.
Thank you. Zoya does make some pretty polishes. Probably my favourite mainstream brand, also doesn't chip on me too quickly unlike CG.
Well done on donating some of your stuff! I donate clothes and toys all the time, but didn't think about np/mu.
Having a bit of a crappy time at the moment, so when I managed to get away for a bit of retail therapy yesterday, I went a bit crazy. But in my defence, most of them were very very cheap.

The bottom two sets were £9.99 each in TKMaxx, but annoyingly I later found the CG set in Sally's for 2 quid cheaper. Eh. This was inside them:
View attachment 51707
Also picked up a few Kikos (£2.50 each), Morgan Taylor from Sally's (£3-ish) and a Topshop polish:

I also had a small haul from Harlow & Co arrive last week:
View attachment 51709
Two recent manis, first is Glam Polish Moana with Glam Whiteout on the accents.
View attachment 51710 View attachment 51711
Second and current mani is one of the new Kikos (the one on the left, no. 504) with an old flakie polish Lorena Cinderella (it was a freebie from Llarowe once):
View attachment 51712 View attachment 51713
Incredibly annoying polish, it's not coral and it's not as light as the second picture shows. It's a medium coral pink with glitters, very pretty irl, but my camera said no.
Very pretty!
nice haul and gorgeous mani!
that is so coldIt's currently +6C here and raining, it is way warmer than it should be... and it looks like the same for Wednesday.
the last two years were crazy freezing polar vortex winters and this year we have not much winter at all.
Great manis, I love the first one, it's like space!
I like Hello Kitty tooouch to ripped off nails
I have a pair of HK socks too lol ...and a few plush toys...pretty purple mani and nice tiny haul!
great green with a nice sparkly accent!
awesome manis and nice discount haul!
nice haul! Pretty blue and nice coral-pink! ...even if the camera wasn't having it lol
Current mani is Glam Polish Deceptive Practice and the brown polish is from the Andrea Fulerton duo Petrol in the Water (2011 untried). It comes with a blue to pink duochrome topcoat, but decided not to use that. Instead popped some stamping on using my trusty YSL Yellow Gold polish. I'm very pleased with this mani if I may say so myself.

Nothing wrong with Hello Kitty socks and toys. I used to have a T-shirt too, but it's now about 3 sizes too small, oops. I have recently bought a Minions jumper though. I'm not ashamed to like kids' stuff.
My Femme Fatale haul came yesterday, I actually totally forgot about ordering the Cirque polish, but it's very pretty. The FF Valentine trio is lovely too.
View attachment 51884
Current mani is Mavala Black Diamond (2011 untried) with EP February 2015 and Claire's #Fireball topper. I actually nicked the idea from MRV. I needed a red holo to go with this mani and then I saw her IG photo and thought, yes, February 2015 it is!

Thank you, Anneri! I'm also trying to get rid of stuff (after all the renovations I'm rearranging the whole house) - today I at least gave a nice MU sample to a cooworker and tonight I'm going through my shoes!
Hope so! I'd love to go to Hawaii - and Japan, too.
I was interested in the Valentine flakey/glitter, but only managed to order a few Glams from her site - and now she's on holiday.
Thanks, PQ!
Oh, maybe/hopefully I can get a few at least. The Glam on the right hand does look nice. That's a vampy thermo! I think your nails look rather long and long enough for a thermo.
Thank you! They were if anything too long on my left hand. Have trimmed them down now. The nails on my right hand are still pretty short.
Might be this weekend?
Nice, intense blue and love that holo!
Thanks, Fuzzy! Isadora is becoming a world traveller - earlier she was already in London and she always gets noticed!
Hope you get things arranged. Yes, old and mechanical is the best.
Oh, I know the skin issues. This winter (we now have "more" winter than a year ago) is the worst for skin! I use both oil and cream for the body (itchy!!) and today I received a lifesaver for my hands - hand oil
Ouch! That happens to me sometimes too. Neutrogena has a good very concentrated cream, the Norwegian Formula one.
Nice! Reminds me of Sparkling Garbage.
Lovely mani! Now you only need some snow to go with it.
Thanks! But no thanks to the snow. It's February, I do not want any!
Thanks again, Fuzzy! Yeah, the weather is so wonky. We beet some record all the time.
Doh! Good to hear you got a cheaper option.
On the whole it's good, but very annoying that I'd been paying a lot more than I should've.
Oh, love the FF trio. Glad I was of help! Your mani makes me think of salmiakki - hey, it is salmiakki colours!
Your photos aren't showing.
Ouch! That happens to me sometimes too. Neutrogena has a good very concentrated cream, the Norwegian Formula one.
