Brilliant! Isn't it amazing how they contrast with some others? Hope you love your new polishes!

My ILNP order is still in transit, but my Color Club order has arrived at Stackry.

How come it costs $10.50 to ship 3 bottles of PfD but $16.50 to ship FTLOP??? It's not like it comes in a big box!

Yeah, I'm not too impressed with the polishes or the prices.

I haven't seen them but it's a hefty cost - even more than an overpriced EP!

Wow, really? I was actually quite impressed with how many polishes I was able to have shipped for $25 (minus the $7 discount). I ordered 7 polishes to go with the box and I was expecting the shipping to go up after the first 4 or 5, but it never did.
Maybe try contacting Jenna and asking why it is. Could be a glitch in the shipping pricing. $10.50 sounds very low for international shipping.

I've emailed her after I checked out, just out of curiosity. I was tempted to order the new collection as the shipping would have been not much more but I really have overspent recently. Got my PPU ordered today too, and now I'm looking at the new Glam collection and thinking I might need a few!

I wasn't sure if I would buy all the new polishes I haven't got yet, but since the shipping stayed at $25 and I was able to use Paypal credit (4 months interest free), I thought why not.
What did you get from PPU? I got the FF, Different Dimension, Fair Maiden and Dreamland.
I'm actually not interested in the new Glams, they look a bit samey and meh. Just as well though, I've spent enough.

PPU - Dreamland, Alchemy, Lollipop Posse
Glam - Sweater Weather, Snowbird, Winter Rose
I kind of agree about the Glams but I kind of like them. I might not get all three, but the blue calls me particularly and I have an open order so lower cost shipping...

The only one I like is Sweater Weather. I mean they're not hideous or anything, just meh.

Yes, it's surprising the difference in customer service levels. Shops like Bees Knees act like nothing is a problem, they will combine shipping automatically, and they always try to bring back polishes, sometimes restocking the same day that something sells out if enough people complain.
To other shops, everything is a burden, above and beyond.

Yay me, I resisted the Tonic restock! It looks like many other people did too as the UP polishes are still in stock, but at that price, I'm not surprised. The only one I really liked (not UP) is sold out. If she brings it back next time I might buy it, but I have a feeling I might have a couple of similar polishes anyway.
Instead I spent my time making Christmas baubles. I bought 12 clear glass baubles last year and never got around to doing it, so I decided that I finally would. I ended up using 17 nail polishes, some I almost completely used up, especially the glitter ones and a couple of Mentalities as they were sheer (even after 3 coats!). Anyway, here's the result. The 5 holos are Mentality, the glitters are Color Club.

I think I'm going to skip these, and spend the money on a couple of Shleees to send to Stackry. I watched a swatch video just now and they're really much less vibrant than I thought.

Well done on skipping Tonic!
I love your Xmas decs (especially that red glittery one!!). I haven't decided whether to risk a tree this year - Byron is absolutely insane and climbs the curtains and the clothes in the wardrobe, I fear for its safety if I put it up. Though thinking if we skip the breakable stuff it's just the fairy lights at risk! Not sure. I've also been banned from buying any more stuff to put on it (admittedly last year I bought about 50 new decs for an already overstuffed tree, hubby was well fed up dangling them on it by the time he finished!).

Our cats luckily never bothered with the tree, not even as kittens, but I once had to pull Midnight out of the fireplace as he was trying to climb up inside the chimney! We had a cushion stuffed into the opening for about 6 months until he got too big.
We're not exactly short on decorations either. I bought quite a few over the years, but we usually have a big tree (current one is 7 ft), so 12 more baubles should fit. Planning on putting the tree up this afternoon actually.
My last package is due to arrive at Stackry today, but I won't consolidate until Monday because I can't afford to put the shipping on my card until the new billing cycle. And I haven't even bought the big presents for the children yet!

Last year we were fine, but Byron is seriously the naughtiest kitten I've ever had. It doesn't help that our vet still won't do his jabs so he can't go out and tire himself out climbing real trees. We don't have space for a big tree, I think ours is a 5ft or maybe 6ft artificial one in white, which I really like. It was looking a bit bare for a few years (I think cats ran off with many of my small baubles in the past!), and I bought loads of new things for cheap on aliexpress to add to it, then added a load of Asda multichrome balls last year. It did work, not a bare tree now!Our cats luckily never bothered with the tree, not even as kittens, but I once had to pull Midnight out of the fireplace as he was trying to climb up inside the chimney!

Ooh multichrome balls, sounds great!
Why won't you very do the jabs? Is it because if Covid? Ours have had their jabs this year when they were needed.

I'll post you a pic of them when/if we dig them out this year!
Vet has been "emergencies only" since first lockdown - we were lucky enough to get a voucher for a cheap neutering at another vet so at least we got that done. It's been really frustrating.

That is very odd. Surely jabs are essential?!
