Just found the PPU swatches at Cosmetic Sanctuary, I do like the Dreamland and now also fancy the Rogue!

The Rogue is nice, although I prefer the Lemming. But they're different enough to justify buying both.

If I add Dreamland and Rogue I'm nearly at free shipping... so I might also get Whatcha...The Rogue is nice, although I prefer the Lemming. But they're different enough to justify buying both.
I really like it and essentially free shipping would knock $5.50 off the price. So now I have seven in my basket, hope I don't like the Glams!

I'm confused about the free shipping. It used to say from $130 (£100), but now it says from $90 (£100). Well, $90 isn't £100. I think I should probably ask about this in the PPU group...

Stackry have my Illyrians! Now I have the tracking number as well, shows label printed 14th Dec, handed to PO 1st Jan, delivered today... I am still waiting for Lollipop Posses, and my package needs to be consolidated by 9th or it will be destroyed. LPs have been going through USPS soooo slowly though, no idea if they'll make it on time but that will be 60 days and my first parcel will be destroyed if I don't consolidate by then. Grrrr. And that's without trying to figure out how customs will work for my shipment now. I'm so hacked off. Especially if I have to do two consolidations and two hazmat fees and two fedex bills and two lots of customs duty....

Hurray for the Illyrians, but what a huge pain about the Lollipops. Fingers crossed they arrive on time.

USPS has had them since 11 Dec, shipped from Ohio, got to Pennsylvania on 22nd (the state next door!), then made it to Massachusetts on 26th, which is the state between PA and Stackry's home in New Hampshire. Last tracking event was yesterday, still in MA. It's so annoyingly slow!

I ordered 3 of the new Femme Fatales yesterday and the website added the VAT to it. Not sure what will happen with PfD and the FTLOP box, whether she will have registered or she will just continue as before and we'll see what happens with the orders? I'm definitely going to order, I really like the FTLOP box. Might not add any extra polishes right now, I'm short on funds right now, straight after Christmas. I still only like 2 of the Glams, but might only get one in the end (the gold one with pink glitter/flakies).

I'm wondering if this paying VAT in advance now means no £8 a throw every time Royal Mail get a package. I haven't bought anything recently so interesting to find out.
I am seriously thinking I'll skip Glams - my initial 7 went down to three, then I ruled out the gold/pink one as I think it's too pale for me and I'm left with a dark purple and a teal green with flakies in both, not unique in my stash but both pretty... I really fancy the new Great Lakes Fantasmic Flakies custom, and I've been after a couple of polishes that were on the site before BF but she took it all down and hasn't re-opened otherwise those would already be at Stackry (USPS permitting of course!). So that's a possible shopping event, if Lollipops don't make it in time i guess GLL can go to Stackry, otherwise maybe direct (if she still sells direct of course!). All very unclear, gotta love new regs! I sold something on eBay to an EU country yesterday and had to complete my first ever customs declaration.

Yes, I believe the RM £8 charge is going away.
I like Southern Oracle, the purple with flakies, but I wonder if it's similar to other Glams (probably). I do like the gold one, it's at least very unique.
I never look in those groups nowadays, but that GLL is pretty. I don't really like the maker (can't explain why, just seems a bit stand-offish), so I tend not to buy the GLL polishes from PPU and HHC, unless they are exceptionally pretty. Speaking of HHC, nothing grabs me this month.

Good!
Yes, that was the purple, the other I like is EUGENE! i've skipped it though, maybe next month if still available. Lollipop Posse let me down, still in transit and I had to consolidate today. So I'm starting another box against my will! So GLL to Stackry I guess, maybe get one or two of this week's Shleees as well. So annoying though.

How annoying!
I ended up only buying the gold with purple flakies, plus I added Gaston, the old gold flakie topper to it as it was still available in the shop.
I also ordered the FTLOP box, but didn't add any other PfDs to it as there wouldn't have been a shipping discount. I'm curious to see what will happen to it as the shop didn't charge me any tax. Femme Fatale charges VAT now on orders from the UK. Mind you, the group buy from September to December still hasn't shipped, so hopefully that won't cause issues as obviously there was no VAT on those orders.
Got the HHC order from October, including your Lollipop Posse, it's really pretty. I had to pay $2 something US shipping, I'm guessing it'll be the same for the November order. I'm not sure what to do with that as I didn't order in December and not planning to order this month either, but there are only 2 polishes in that order, so not worth paying £4.20 to have them posted. Maybe I'll see if I like anything next month. I normally get the Girly Bits and/or Femme Fatale, but GB doens't seem to be taking part anymore and I didn't fancy the FF.
Anyway, here's my order. The one on the right is Lilypad, but the label covers most of the bottle, so turned it on its side to show the colour.

I also have a few manis to show. First up is Rimmel Purple Reign (2013 untried) with Polished for Days Prototype 2016.
Next is Spell Polish Bianca's Whiskers with Glam Polish Glitter for Breakfast. I liked them both, but the Spell took ages to dry, I didn't even go to bed for hours after doing my nails and it still got messed up.
This is Illyrian Polish Living Dead. I liked this a lot. This was my NYE mani, so the reason why it's so messy is because I did my nails around 2 am!

Next mani is Emily de Molly Silk and Denim. This is a cool thermal, especially in the cold state.
This is Top Shelf Lacquer Fireball with Femme Fatale Grandfather of the Desert.
Finally, this is Tonic Polish Manna's Mystical Masterpiece with Pahlish The Big Boo. I really loved these two, they were both so glowy.

Thanks for news on my Lollipop Posse, glad it's as nice as I hoped! I guess she'll hold your other order for a while. Do I need to send you more money?
Your order is pretty, my fave is the Lilypad.
