I like both manis and don't see anything wrong with the second one.
What did you buy from HHC? I had a look, but nothing appealed.

I've cropped some mani pictures! I'll post them from most recent to older as I'll never have time to catch up, there are so many!
First (and current mani) is FUN Lacquer Evening Gown topped with Glam Polish Through the Looking Glass on the accents. I'm going to take it off tonight, but we'll see if I manage to stay awake long enough to replace it. Had a bad night, followed by an early start and a crap day, so very tired now.
Next is Illyrian Polish Phantom. I actually wore it for 4 days, mostly because I was too busy/tired to change it, although I did actually like it.
This is Emily de Molly Ricochet, one of my oldest EdMs. It's really nice.
Also finally got around to taking pictures of my pedi, this is Glam Polish Madame Serena. It's about 3 weeks old now, might change it at the weekend if I have time.

Thank you! I've been wearing the second one for several days, when it sparkles in good lighting it's actually quite cute, but I don't like it in indirect/low light at all.
I got the GLL and Phoenix Scarlet - I like both of them on swatches, fingers crossed! I wouldn't have started a Stackry for them but with the GLLs paid for already I might as well.
There's one in PGB I really like, but it's an unknown brand and there's nothing else in it standing out - it's the Starburst one which I totally love, but the only other with any interest is the Ethereal and I feel I have dozens very similar to it so thus far I've not bought and don't plan to unless I have a brainstorm (never impossible lol)!

These are all lovely, beautiful Illyrian and the Glam topper is stunning (and I own both - yay!). I also love the pedi colour, which I also own.
Hope you feel less knackered soon!

Thanks! Only one week to go now until the exams are over.
I have more manis to show. I did manage to paint my nails last night, so here's my current mani, Tonic Polish Rainbowfish. It was one of my oldest untried Tonics.
Some older manis: this is Polished for Days Impressive Wingspan topped with Glam Polish I Put a Spell on You and Now You're Mine on the accents. The PfD was a bit more green and more vibrant than my pictures show. It's very glowy!
Next is Ever After Bread & Butterflies (over Cupcake Polish VNL Blur). It was okay, but not that great.

Cool! That Tonic is really pretty and I'm very drawn to your green and purple creation. Not so taken with the last one to be honest.

They've arrived at Stackry (on my birthday! - shame I'm not there too!).
Thanks again Boschicka, it'll be a while before I ship them home but I'm counting them as the best present I got today! xxxx

Ha! If only! I have loads of housework and other stuff to do. But I'm also resting and doing things for me. I've finally had time to trim my toenails and paint them again.
Anyhow, are you buying any polish this weekend? I've just ordered 2 of the new Glams (from the trio, not the pink one). I'm passing on the new PfDs, not a fan of them. I don't think I'll be ordering from PPU either, I usually buy what I want first time around.

Shame, housework is not fun, don't overdo it!
I have no shopping plans at the moment. I'm not getting any of the Glams, the PfDs can wait for Black Friday and I have no clue what will be in PPU yet - none of what I've seen so far is tempting me though, like you I got most of what I would want first time around, though I do occasionally skip if it's just one so I will be looking! I should really go and find out if I want the new Wildflowers from any of the outlets, they're always a one-time deal and I missed the last lot so I would be annoyed if I did that again. So maybe that.

I'm now done with most of the housework (for now), I've done so much cleaning, ugh. I'm going to get on with the gardening next. Also I've finally managed to swatch my new EdM and Different Dimension polishes (yes, from my Stackry delivery a month ago!), but I've yet to put them away or enter them on my spreadsheet. I will hopefully get around to doing everything eventually...
Anyway, I've checked the PPU rewind, there are a couple I like, but I need to check if I already own them. There's a good chance I do.
Different Dimension is doing a sale starting at 2 am tonight, she's reducing her business and selling off existing stock. I think I probably have everything I've wanted from her, but I'll check if I manage to wake up in time.
I'm hoping to crop some more pictures soon. Also, if you give me a couple of weeks, Anne, we could finally do our swap!

Not like you to get behind with the spreadsheet, you must be both jaded and knackered.
I'm a bit shocked how big my PPU wishlist is, not sure how many will survive though. First I added Wildflower, Night Owl, Garden Path, Great Lakes & Paint It Pretty. Then I added KB Shimmer and Penelope Luz. But I'm pretty undecided about most of them, I really like Night Owl and GLL, the others are all "maybe". Do you have any of them?
Surprised DD is cutting back stock, I thought they were doing well.
Happy to organise a swap soon, will start narrowing my options!
FTLOP is a no from me, but I plan to get the Sparkle & Shine box if it will be on time for my Stackry. I have an eye on a couple of other orders to add to that too, but I can't do everything!

I have now updated my spreadsheet! But yeah, I'm still pretty tired and have so much to do, plus it feels like a chore now to choose and match up polishes, and then put them away in the end. Maybe I'll find more joy in it again when things calm down.
I had a proper look at PPU and there are a few I like, but I don't think I'll order. I like the Wildflower, Dreamland and Sassy Sauce, plus a few I've identified I already have, so that's good. I do have the Garden Path, Paint It Pretty and KBShimmer btw. If you get the Wildflower, I'd love to swap for that. Do you have the Dreamland by any chance? I guess not.
I didn't buy from Different Dimension in the end, turns out I already have everything I wanted. It was annoying though, she changed the date and time of the sale 3 times, from 9 am to 9 pm (which was 2 am here, although in the end I didn't bother getting up, just as well really), to 9 am again, but then she was a couple of hours late. Not even sure exactly when the shop opened, I kept checking, then gave up for a while. Yeah, she said she wants to cut back her inventory and releases because she's struggling to cope.
No FTLOP box for me again either. I like the PfD, but not the others.
I don't know what to do with my Stackry box, I only have 8 polishes and a perfume in there, but I don't really want to buy stuff for the sake of buying, especially as I'm still not doing well with the finances. So I guess it'll be an expensive delivery for not much stuff. I will definitely stop using it now until Black Friday, hopefully by then I'll have a job and a bit more spending money.

Hiya Anita, just a super quick note as I'm swamped with two jobs just now, but Yay, for adding those three to my swap list, no I don't have Dreamland, yes I will get Wildflower and happy to swap for it. Must dash, will look at rest of your post properly when I stop panicking about too much work, too little time.xxx
