Just saw it on Facebook. I love the blue one. The rest is possibly a skip for me.

Cool, thanks for posting! So far I am not drawn to A-England as much as the other polishes, but I have a friend who just loves them.My haul and mani pictures:
The Pretty Serious box is so cute!
OPI Sea You In Hollywood plus Black Cat Lacquer Peacocky
Lovely haul and mani! What shades are those in the second picture?

So pretty!
Credit goes to Ommorphia.
Current mani is Illamasqua Creator, which I broke down and bought during VIB. Stunny, but a bit chippy. I was trying a new top coat, so that may be the issue.
I have two new 'gel effects' top coats, the Nails Inc and a sample size of the Julep (Sephora 100 point bonus). Any interest in me comparing them? What type of polish would be best for a comparison of top coats do you think?

Two really gorgeous manis. I love your long nails...they look strong & healthy!I am a bit behind on my photos, here are my two recent (Emily de Molly) manis:
First is Pyrite, which is so much more stunning than it has any right to be. If I didn't have other colours to try I would go right back to this one:
Current Mani is Emily de Molly Blue Prediction, one of her new ones. You do need to turn the bottle upside down for a bit to get the larger glitters mixed in, but even without them (I didn't have time!) this mani is very pretty. Keep in mind I took the photos today, and put the polish on Sunday night:

So, has anyone tried the Dior Holiday NPs? I ordered 3 of them. At least two seem unique to anything that I currently have. I'll post
pics as soon as they arrive. dior holiday 2013 nail lacquers. There's a duo that comes with a funnel---the process just seemed like more work than I
have or want to spend time at, so I skipped it!
In the meantime, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!

Just beautiful Anneri!!!!!Thank you, Medgal!
I was wondering, has anybody heard from CC or HOB? I miss those two!
As promised, wedding pics!
I inquired about CC on another thread and hear she's fine, but busy. I've seen HOB pop in briefly, I think on the Chanel thread. The threads overall seem very quiet---at least with our regulars!
At any rate, sending positive vibes and good thoughts to all!

Wonderful wedding photos! I love the outfit too, retro and classic.
The threads do seem quiet! I finally got that grant application submitted,so this is my fun/catch up on chores weekend.
Attended the Canadian Enchanted restock and NPC this morning, snagged Walrus AND Octopus. At least half the shades are sold out now, but there are still a few up.
I took a picture of illamasqua enchanted before it started chipping again, will post it later today. Thinking of Zoya Payton next. It was in my Emily de Molly order, and the last two Manis and one Pedi have all been Emily.

I bought Autumn from the Enchanted restock. I could only afford one, I blew my budget on new PJs, two of my old pairs are about to tear out in the butt.

Hello my lovelies! Sorry I've been on and off Specktra lately... I just haven't felt like doing anything :/ had a rough couple of days, I ended my 6 year relationship the other night. ;( It's for the best for both of us but it still really hurts to realize after all this time that he is not the one for me ;( I feel relief but the heartache is starting to sink in. I've still been buying np but I've hardly felt like painting my nails.... All I want to do is sleep and spend money lol I am Gonna try n get something from NPC tonight but if not oh well. I want tons of the new colors by llarowe! Last night I ordered directly from lilypad lacquers site, I got a LE polish called Almost Famous, created by a girl I follow on Instagram ( almost famous nails). It's a gorgeous purple holo. I have read a few things the last week however that has really turned me off from her brand and I don't think I will be buying anymore lilypads. I'm Wearing enchanteds autumn today and I actually like it a lot more than I thought I would. Ill post some mani pics later. I miss CC a lot , hope she's back soon! Anneri I love the wedding pics you look so happy 
Med I love Abby she is so cute! Love the bow and the wings lol Mrv I am still waiting on some of my llarowe orders as well, they were shipped but haven't updated all week :/ hope they come soon! I want my EDMs and my same legends! I'm trying to cut some brands out, and I think I am only going to be buying enchanteds, colors by llarowe, and picture polishes regularly. If a Color i like comes up on another brand I will get it but I've lost the " I need every color" by every brand feeling. My wallet is empty ;( No makeup , need to catch up on bills and fix my car ( hit and run accident Thursday). So that's where I've been. Oh and also had to drop my courses this quarter I just could not focus. Those new a England's are pretty but I feel pretty meh about them. Maybe the blue one..

Hope you can get rid of those pests. I have not heard we had them in apartment buildings here, just regular houses.
I have Glitter Food, too. Did you get it just for TC use?
Thanks, Med! Nice to hear you have your girl over. Have fun!
Lovely haul! I need to wear those Zoyas, too. That BCL glitter is very nice, I like the colour combo.
I also saw this yesterday. Nice that they make also lighter holos.
Thanks, Bcteagirl! I only have the Dior gel TC I use for HE and other "finer" polishes. Which one is the Nails Inc TC? I hear they've had problems with a TC.
Are these both TCs?
I have the Marilyn one from last year (I think it's repromoted this year) but I have not used it. I just wanted the bottle mostlyand I'm not so great with reds. Although I'm cherishing my BL Come to Bed Red
.
Aww, you look so lovely and elegant, Anneri! Looks like you had a happy day.
I have many of those!Congrats on those EPs, everyone!
I got Glitter food for a topcoat for hungry rough polishes... I don't think I have anything sinky... that I know of anyway. even my OPI I Snow you Love Me is suspended!

NaughtyP, I'm sorry you've been going through a tough few days.
Things will work out just fine, but I can imagine it must be very strange after a 6-year-relationship's ended. Retail therapy always makes things better, although it helps if you have money to spend.
I'm going to try and only stick to a few brands and/or a few very special polishes now. I still have a few things on my wishlist (new Llarowes, Liquid Sky Lacquers, a few more KBShimmers and Lilypads, and of course any new multichrome/holos from EP), but after that I will go on a polish no-buy in the new year. I have realised just how much I've spent on an insane amount of polishes lately, I now have so many, I will not be able to try them in the foreseeable future, so now is the time to stop.
Anneri, I love your wedding pictures, you looked so gorgeous and happy, really lovely!
I have another haul picture today, my new Zoyas and Art Deco polishes have arrived.
At first I didn't think much of the Art Deco polishes, but then I decided to swatch them over black and wow! The pictures below aren't very colour accurate, but you can see how well the colours shift. I'm really impressed. (They're the 3 on the left, 384, 382 and 380. 384 is more green than teal irl.) PS. Excuse my chipped thumb nail. Just repainted my nails, photos to come tomorrow.
