I forgot about Great Lakes, there's still nothing new in the group. At least she hasn't disappeared with people's money.

My Stackry package came today, 4 days early! Glad I didn't pay for the faster service. Annoyingly one of my PfDs got smashed and one EdM is missing. Ugh, not happy. Yours are all there luckily, Anne. I can post them on Monday, if you want them sent signed for, it's £4.20, otherwise it's £3.20.
I do like the ones I got very much. The one that broke is Rainbow of Imagination, and the missing one is Secret Sights.
I decided not to order from HHC after all. I really can't afford it right now.

Yay, great speedy delivery, but what a shame and annoyance with one missing, one broken that's not good
Thanks for letting me know re my EdMs, I'll make payment in a minute (no need for tracking).
Your haul is gorgeous
I really love those PfDs, hoping some of them will soon be on their way to me as well (Stackry is taking ages to consolidate this time, which isn't a problem as it's now going to hit next month's cc bill which is good!). Just sooo vibrant! I'm wishing I'd bought This Is Halloween now, that bottle shot makes it look scrummy - unlike their swatch shots! I also love Simba, unexpectedly, and Impressive Wingspan too. Enjoy wearing them, they are delicious! Off to paypal now! xxx

It's very annoying. I've contacted both makers, haven't heard from PfD at all, EdM replied with some questions, but so far no offer of refund or replacement. I actually asked both of them to hold my replacement until I place another order, or if that's not doable, then refund me.Yay, great speedy delivery, but what a shame and annoyance with one missing, one broken that's not good

Thanks Anita, no rush if you're busy!
I hope you get satisfaction from both makers, I do always worry with a forwarder how it will work out if there is damage.

I'm always busy, lol, but I'm sure I'll have time to go to the post office. I need to go out anyway to collect some contact lenses from Specsavers. It's really easy as we live in the town center, so I can do everything in one go.
Thanks, I hope so too. The PfD was definitely broken before it got the Stackry as the polish was completely dried out and the package wasn't smelly at all. The EdM I guess could've been nicked, but I don't think so. Neither are terribly expensive, but it would be nice not to have to buy them again.

Both makers said they're happy to either refund or include the polish in my next order, so I'm happy.
What do you think of the new Glams? I like a few, but not buying this month due to lack of funds. If they're still available next month I might. Do we know when the next UK shipment is by the way?

Good news on both, I'm glad to hear it.
I'm undecided on the Glams, I like a couple but not blown away.
She said shipping in Feb so I think this collection will be the last to include with it, so if I decide to go for them it makes sense to do it this month.

Lol, I find it so funny that people are still commenting on the first post from 10 years ago, nearly 1100 pages later...
Well, I'm annoyed now, I forgot that Femme Fatale is doing the usual Enchanted Fables 28 piece collection in February and I'm very tempted to buy the full set again. But I've just forked out 177 quid for 2 tickets to see Harry Styles in June. Ugh.
Definitely skipping the Glam launch and not really interested in much from PPU, so at least that's good.
Quite like the FTLOP box, but not sure I'll order it. I'll have to think about it.

Time for some mani pictures. I haven't managed to crop all the ones I haven't shown yet (there are tons!), but here are a few anyway.
First is Femme Fatale Cthulhu, the first thermal of the season.
Next is Femme Fatale Prince Caspian (thermal) topped with Essence Icy Fairy on the accents.
This is Polished for Days 3000 Strong. It's magnetic (I only magnetised the accents), but not very strong (or I'm out of practice). Very pretty multichrome holo though.

I have more! This is Different Dimension Light of Love.
Next is Tonic Polish Oops! MFA-GR5. This is a magnetic, but again, not very strong (again, only did the accents). I probably should've applied it over black as it took 3 coats and was still a bit sheer/patchy. Very pretty and vibrant though.
This is Colors by Llarowe Peek-a-Boo, another thermal.
And another thermal ('tis the season!), Femme Fatale Deathwatch Beetle.

I didn't twig that was a response to post 1!
That's a shame you forgot FF big shop, I know you love those. £177????? Ouch! (Not my thing at all!)
I did get three of the new Glams - I seem to have a huge delivery due from them now, not sure how that happened (24 polishes!!!).
I haven't seen much PPU but I fancy one that I have seen, the Garden Path. Box wise I'm skipping FTLOP and also skipped Sparkle and Shine. I don't have anything planned for now, other than PPU.

These are very pretty - so glad to see some mani pics again! That first picture though - I thought you had lots of little divots in your nails, didn't twig they were flakies till the second pic! Your thermals are holding up well!

The colours in these are all gorgeous! And I LOVE the Tonic Oops shade - shame it's not a great formula.

I don't mind Harry Styles at all, he seems lovely and makes good music, and my middle one really wanted to go, so that's that. It's been a tough 2 years for the children, so if it makes them happy... We went to a concert last week as well, but it was very cheap (and very local), so didn't mind. I have a Europe concert lined up for May, looking forward to that.
I'll have a think about the FFs. I'll definitely get a few, but not sure if I can get them all. Although the set is discounted by 50 AUD and you get 2 free polishes, so they work out around £6 each. But then there's the shipping on top of that...
I have 14 Glams on the way. Which ones did you get?

Haha, yes, it looked a bit funny in the pictures, was better irl. The FF thermals are always great, but I was surprised to see that the CbL one was still working. Her polishes are prone to fading.
Thanks. I knew it was more of a topcoat, but ignored it, thinking it'll be fine. Ah well, next time I'll wear it over black (if next time ever happens).

I'm sure he's lovely! And I know you love Europe so that's exciting!
It's a good price for the FFs, if you love them would be a shame to miss out
