I got the two Buffy ones I wanted from Glam, was tempted to add a couple more but I resisted.

I was just hunting for swatches for PPU and watched a bit of this - you are dead right! I was forwarding through it to find out if I could see the ones I was interested in, it was like wading through treacle. I know there are a lot of polishes, but 31/2 hours and she's only done a fraction of the collection, how much of my life am I expected to donate to one polish release??? And she polishes her nails so badly too! Have any of you seen what PfD are bringing? That was why I tuned into her videos she got nowhere near that far though!

New mani is Powder Perfect Anemone Awakening:
This is such a pretty colour and really sparkly - it's a microglitter, I can never capture that sparkle in my pictures but trust me, it's there!

I'm so glad I got kicked out of the group, this way I'm not even tempted to buy from her.

I decided not to bother watching any of her videos, I'll just go buy the swatch pictures in the group.
The PfD is now up in the shop, it's really pretty. I also love the ride it's based on (Haunted Mansion in Disneyland).

Oh dear, I bought 2 more perfumes this week. Both are older, collectable ones that I'd been looking for for a while, so I'm really happy, but I spent quite a lot of money. One I actually bought from the US Ebay, really hope it'll be all good. I bought it from a top rated seller, so fingers crossed.
I also like 8 from PPU (ouch), but luckily only 2 from Femme Fatale and those 2 exclusive Glams. Don't like the FTLOP box this month and I haven't seen anything from HHC that I might want. Fingers crossed.

Hope you love your perfumes!
PPU is not going to be expensive for me this month - I picked out three (Atomic, Alchemy, Lollipop Posse). But the LP looks a bit too transparent for me, so just the two I think. I don't know Atomic at all, but they've nailed my favourite kind of colour and I must have it! Not a fan of the PfD, I must have others that look like it, far from unique. There were quite a few others that are quite nice, but again they're brands I don't know, and one a month is enough adventure! I'm not even that fussed on the Alchemy, but since I'm shopping anyway...
I don't like FTLOP either, the PfD is nice but I actively dislike the other two. Haven't looked at HHC yet, but I'd be astounded if I like anything enough to shop. A cheap month! I'm also unimpressed by the Glam for Fantasmic Flakies - I like the Holomaniacs one, but since I'm not a member of that group I can't buy regardless. Shame. This counts as a cheap month though! Looks like just my 2 Glams and two PPU. A record when I'm not on a no-buy kick. Since I'm thinking that, I bet I buy Shlees or something.

Thanks. They are all LE seasonal variations of YSL Paris, my first "grown up" perfume that I still love. They used to bring out a springtime version every year or so with different bottle design and slightly different scent. Apart from a couple of very old ones that I don't think I'll be able to track down now, I have most of them. Luckily they stopped bringing new ones out in 2016, I don't think I could afford buying them all, lol. Of course as with nail polish, I have way more perfumes than I can use up in this lifetime and there's still a few I want to get (different brands).
I'm thinking of buying from a new to me brand too, Kathleen & Co. The others are from brands I know and like. I normally don't buy from new brands unless the polish is really pretty or unique, but I do like the Kathleen & Co one a lot. The Atomic is really pretty too.
Since I'll be buying both Glams, I'm happy to decant the Holomaniacs one for you. (Or I can give you the code? Don't know if they'll actually check whether you're a member or not.)

Ah, the joys of collecting limited editions! I remember how much I paid for some EPs and am embarrassed...At least you get pretty bottles!Thanks.

Thanks for offer on Glam Holomaniacs, a decant will do nicely!

Sadly broke a nail yesterday so I have a new mani for today - Pahlish Mystery polish ?2:
Bit of a change in colour for me. It's a very deep green, almost black, with green and blue micro glitters - very wicked witch! Formula was very thick, but it was nearly a one-coater (if I wasn't cack-handed and missed a bit...). It's been around a while, might have thickened with age! Anyway, I'm liking it!

Nice one!
I've been meaning to post my mani pics, but never have enough time to sit down and crop and upload the pictures. Maybe tomorrow.
I tried to stay away from OPI for ages as I thought it was too expensive for nail polish. However, I buckled and brought two shades the other day and there some of the best nail polishes I own. I think Essie is so overrated as it comes off after two days or doesn't paint well.

Which 2 shades did you purchase?

Finally, a moment to post some mani pictures. First is Colors by Llarowe Fast Eddie with Illyrian Polish Prototype 23. I liked both of these polishes a lot.
Next is Femme Fatale Belle with L.A. Girl Electric Guitar (2013 untried). Belle was a bit dull (and showed off all the imperfections on my crappy peeling nails), but I quite liked the topper.
This is Nvr Enuff We Wish You a Merry Unicorn with Emily de Molly Source of Life. This was the first time I used Nvr Enuff (I have another 3 polishes form them I think) and I was really impressed. I also loved the EdM. Sadly there was no sun, we had a miserable, cold weekend.
Finally this is Tonic Polish Voodoo topped with Polished for Days Enchanted. I love the Tonic so much. She does these vampy colours really well.

I'm really annoyed with PPU. They're using a parcel forwarding service because their local post office can't cope with the volume of packages(?) and my package has been in transit for over a week now. It's still with the shipping partner, who will then pass it onto USPS. My Stackry box need emptying this weekend, but since it's already Thursday, there's no way the package will get there before the weekend. Ugh. On top of it all, Annette is now refusing to combine orders on the UK site ,because it's too much hassle for her. Ffs, that's her job! Ugh and ugh again.

I've never really rated OPI (I probably have half a dozen or so), and I'm not one for neutrals but that's a pretty red.

These are all very cute (but I don't like that FF to be honest!). Toppers are all lovely though.
