Fingers crossed! I'm now worried my Lemmings won't be there in time for consolidation time, I didn't suss that they have moved to a 4 week TAT during Covid, and I dithered, then was left waiting for a response to my queries for a couple of weeks, so I fear I'm starting a new box before the old one's consolidated. I was also disappointed that I managed to miss all of the limited edition GLLs that I was after :( - didn't realise the release date and all sold out.

Oh how annoying. I hate long TATs and limited releases. Nowadays I really don't feel like chasing brands that aren't worth the effort.

In the end I ordered the Pahlish, DRK, Fancy Gloss and Night Owl topper from PPU UK. Went back and forth on the Pahlish, hope I like it.

FedEx got my hopes up again, they initially said my Stackry package would be delivered today, but it's been changed to tomorrow. This happened the last 2 times, I should've known. Still, 3 days is pretty fast. It did cost me a lot to ship, even though there are only 7 bottles of polish in there, but then there's a lot of other stuff, so fair enough.

I just got Nailed It. Then bought more Nailed Its. Then a few more Nailed Its.
Bit of a theme...
Picked up a few on eBay and did a RC order today for 3 of the new collection and a couple of other polishes (2 Lumen, 1 Cupcake).

So you like Nailed It then?! :p I haven't bought anything since PPU, but Tonic has a new collection launching tonight at 1 am. :oops: I like 6, but I'm not staying up, my middle one started college on Tuesday and I've had to get up at 6.45 almost every morning. :sleep: One of the polishes is extremely limited (due to possibly fading thermal pigment), but if the other 5 are still around when I wake up, I'll get those. I really really love one, but Girly Bits might be doing a pre-order, so if I miss out, hopefully I have a back up option. But I'm too tired to stay up.

I manage to crop a few pictures, so here are some manis. First is Femme Fatale Sand Verbena topped with Polished for Days Sugar Plum on the accents. Sand Verbena has a purple base, but the shimmer is so strong, it really only shows at certain angles, hence the last photo.

Next is Colors by Llarowe Alternate Universe topped with Emily de Molly Past the Breakers on the accents. The CbL has strong yellow/green shimmer that my camera didn't pick up too well.

This is Illyrian Polish Amortentia topped with Claire's Summer Ball on the accents. Not my favourite Illyrian, it's a bit meh, although the green-ish shimmer is cool.

Well, I missed the 4 polishes I liked most, so decided not to bother with the remaining 2. She says she'll restock them in a little while, but I'm not holding my breath as she's been very absent and hasn't restocked anything from the past few collections (or at all really). Oh well, it's just polish.

Which Tonics did you get? I'm tempted by Sweet Tooth.
What is 6:45???

Love the first two (last isn't my thing, even if it is Illyrian!)

That's a shame, I know you don't like RC but they had some of them.

Thanks for the heads up. True, I don't like RC, but I made an exception. I got Violet Gold (my absolute favourite), Sweet Tooth, Flash Lights, Firebird and Stellar. I also liked the pink thermal, but it was very limited and obviously isn't going to stockists. She did say she wasn't sure if the pigment might be unstable, so not worth the gamble anyway. Maybe she'll remake it with a more stable pigment in the future.

My small PPU order came last week. I really like them all. The EDK looks dull in the bottle, but it's a magnetic, it's actually really pretty when magnetised.

Did you see the Glam sneak preview? I don't think I'll be buying many polishes from the Halloween collection. Based on the bottle shot macros, I may be interested in 4 or 5.

Also, have you seen the PfD sneak? I like them on the whole, but the polishes are beginning to look a bit samey now. I'll still probably get 4 or 5 (not keen on the very bright orange one).
