For a topper!?! That's bold!Just ordered from Glam (in a rush) and only realised after checking out that the toppers are $15!

Also really annoyed that the topper duo has a 10% discount in the main shop, but she listed them individually in the UK shop with no discount. I asked her about it in the group, but she's ignored my comment.

I bought a few polished from RC just now and I spotted a "give a tip to the RC team" button on the checkout page! Is it new? i've never seen anything like that on an online shop before! Bit cheeky? Or not? I didn't donate...

I haven't posted any mani pictures in ages, so here are a few. First is Nevermind Polish Chimera's Curse. I liked this, it was soft and springlike.
Next is Superficially Colourful Lacquer A Summer's Wave Goodbye. I'd forgotten that this was a thermal and was very surprised to find that it still works. It was a bit sheer and a bit meh though.
This is Emily de Molly Double Take with Revlon Galactic. Annoyed that I didn't check my spreadsheet as the Revlon wasn't an untried and it's not even that great. Mind you, the flakies sometimes look like gaps in the photos, it's just the light reflecting oddly, there weren't any gaps. Still, not a fan. Did love the EdM though.
I have loads more to post, but never enough time. Mind you, I did get a lot of things done this weekend (the ex had Max both days), so can't complain.

Some more manis. First is Barry M 242 Boots Xmas LE B (2013 untried) with Glam Polish A Girl Worth Fighting For on the accents. I liked this mani a lot.
Next is Emily de Molly Perfect Moments with Darling Diva Wicked Attraction (2013 untried) on the accents. The EdM is a subtle thermal, it's really pretty. I wasn't very keen on the DD though.
This is Too Fancy Lacquer Blue Hawaii. It was more green/teal than blue, but my camera doesn't like greens.

I have a few minutes to spare, so I thought I'd post a few more mani pictures. First is Femme Fatale Violet Twilight topped with Illyrian Circus on the accents. I really liked this mani, the FF is a nice thermal and Circus is a really pretty topper.
Next is Tonic Polish Break of Day topped with Nails Inc Liverpool Street on the accents. I liked this too, the Tonic is a cool thermal.

This is Polished for Days That's How You Know topped with Polished for Days Moonwake on the accents. I really liked this mani.
Speaking of PfD, I think I'm going to place an order tomorrow as she's bringing out a new collection (which I really like, minus one polish) and re-releasing an older glitter polish in limited quantities and I don't want to miss out. Plus I have a box open at Stackry anyway.
I think I'll get 2 polishes from HHC, the Girly Bits and the BKL, and there's a new group, Project Artistry that GB is doing a custom for in late March and I really want that too. Hope everything will be delivered on time, I already have a package there (my middle child wanted some earrings from the US), but it only arrived 2 days ago, so I still have 6 weeks to go. Not sure if I'll keep the box open, but FOMO might get me, hahaha. I hate all these bloody groups and collabs with a passion.

Forgot to say, I've been swatching my Enchanteds and there are a few faders, namely Holiday 2013 (used to be purple, now muddy brown), May 2013 (used to be purple, now ugly pink, very disappointing, although I did wear it once before it faded), IKOABD (light pink now, never wore it), Candied Opal (now light pinky red, but actually it's quite pretty) and Opal Nectar (still purple, but less so and less vibrant). Not finished yet, but hopefully there won't be more.
Actually did you see the new EP collection? The teaser picture got me excited, but none of the polishes are worthy the $16 plus fees. She had/has(?) a 10% off code too, but I couldn't be bothered.
Anne, I'm still working on my swaplist, actually sent you a pm with a few questions. So many Illyrians to go through, I definitely want more than 12, lol.

These are nice! That soft green is very cute and the colours in your orange/yellow are nice, but I love the blue at the end!

That pink mani is very pretty! And I like the DD, even if you don't! The colour in the last one is really vibrant, though I probably like the pics more than the reality if it's less blue IRL!

I'm not a massive fan of either of these to be honest - the Tonic is nice, but I really don't like the Nails Inc.

This is so pretty! A little transparent for my liking but the colours are stunning.
I only like a couple of the new PfD collection so I'll be holding off on those, though I do like the turquoise one a lot.
I saw that GB Project Artistry polish on their FB page and it's stunning.
I hate starting a new Stackry box these days! Something stunning has to release or at least a decent number of goodies before I'll make that start. It's all so annoying though with so many people not exporting to us any more. I hate those exclusives as well!

How infuriating that EPs have faded. I have most of those too, so disappointing to hear that. I hope that's the extent of the fading.
I did leap to the internet when I saw the EP email a couple of days ago - I thought I'd love the red, but it turned out to be pink so I've skipped it. The others were absolutely nothing special, though some of them were nice.
I seem to have more interest in my "new" brands these days, I've been a bit adventurous on PPU and got into Fancy Gloss, Lollipop Posse, Wildflower etc. recently, and I feel like I'll be buying most of those via RC to avoid the overseas aggravation, but it is not a cheap way to shop. Fortunately I don't buy too many of them!
I'm sorry I haven't been on here for the last couple of days, but I've answered your PM now.
Hope all is well

It looked closest to the last picture. It was still blue-ish, but with some green shimmer. It's pretty.
