That's sweet of you Jennyap!!!It really isheartbreaking but so uplifting at the same time in a way, that even in these circumstances the love of something that others might think should be insignificant is clearly still so important to her. I'm going to enter, but have no expectation of winning, more as a way of showing a bit of support /sharing the NP love

AMAZING haul!!!! I love the green mani----very festive!!!On a brighter note, it's Christmas in my house again!I received my recent Norway Nails and MeiMei orders plus the DL Stronger polish (I gave in and bought it off eBay in the end...) today. My Norway Nails order was packaged up like this:
And this is what was inside it:
Then here's my MeiMei order plus DL Stronger:
And finally, my bling mani: DL Shake Your Money Maker over Zoya Giovanna.
It's chipped a little already, but to be fair I was helping a good friend of mine pack up her kitchen cupboards as she's moving house tomorrow, so not too unsurprising.

Yes, it is very sad and humbling. I'm not going to enter, I have nowhere to put another 500 polishes plus I wouldn't be able to appreciate them anyway, I myself have around 1000 untrieds as it is! But it is lovely and she's going to make someone very happy. However, that said, just imagine getting the call to say you can go and collect your polishes because she's died...

I wasn't able to take pics today because I lost the light. I hope I'll be able to do it tomorrow. I have the rest of my Colors by LLarowe order, ILNP and Scofflaw hauls to post.

Have you guys seen this? It's sad, but at the same time very touching.

I found two more Anna Sui polishes at a discount, a red in a heart bottle and a sparkly pink in a flower bottle (And a rose gold sparkly for a family member). I realized recently that even the fancy dress ones are only really the same price as a high end indie if you get them at the counter. Haven't actually paid anything near retail for them yet, but that was a bit of a revelation.
Not usually much for red polishes, but they seem to be growing on me a little bit.

Apparently she's not very keen on combining orders and doesn't refund the extra shipping even if she does which is pants. But I had to place 2 orders, so I guess I just have to swallow the extra shipping cost.Lol! You know me so well. Yes, I got all 6 polishes including the Holiday color. All of them have shipped. Can't wait to get them. I made 3 separate orders and was expecting them all to be combined, but I'm getting 2 separate shipments. Interesting.
EDIT: Um, how did I miss that? 1.5k polishes! As Buick would say, respect.
Alright, now to get ready for Thursday instead. I'm going to place 2 different orders so I don't have to wait for everything to ship. One order for the 5 Winter Collection colors I still need to get, and one for the New Year's Eve pre-order.
I'm not sure if I'm going to place an order with Llarowe on Thursday. To be honest, I'm getting a bit fed up with her. It takes longer and longer to receive my polishes. I just received my orders from the CbL restock which was 3 weeks ago. I know it was a pre-order, but it's still taken so long. She's the only one who decides to ship in the most expensive and inconvenient way. Sending the polishes to a UK re-distributor first in bulk might save her some money, but then the UK person has to send them to me at 4 polish per envelope and it costs her £3 per envelope. Today's order arrived in 6 envelopes, that's £18 postage on top of whatever it cost her to send them to the UK in the first place! It also adds an extra 3-4 days at least to shipping, if not more. I normally receive overseas orders within 8-10 days, the Llarowe orders take at least twice as long, even if it's not a preorder. She seems to have gotten too big for her shoes, she just can't handle the volume of orders and her website can't handle the amount of people trying to order from her. Meh.

In the end it cost me about £1 more than retail (of other DL polishes), but I decided I really wanted it. Of course now I have it, I saw this: http://www.britishbeautyblogger.com/2013/12/deborah-lippmann-nail-polish-uk.html Typical....Thanks, Bcteagirl!
Thanks, Med! Yes they do.
Lovely red!
It's very sad. Hope it gives her some happiness, regardless.
Told ya!I actually got mine yesterdayand the OPI sand My Current Crush (a lovely shade!).
Good FF choises and a lovely haul! Those DL glitters are awesome!
I don't actually have that many lipglosses. It's just that I have not used them in months, just like you. Luckily, I have not opened the new ones in a looong time, and keep them in the fridge. And I have not bought any this fall.
Snowy Bramble looks better in the bottle than on my nails!Maybe I will wear it again over a lighter teal next year.
Oh boy, I have not counted my polishes in months. I don't think I'm in K numbers yet, but it might not be that far from it.
I think I'm getting only the new ones. Thursday is a bit busy for me, hope it does not take ages to get them!
Awesome!

Yellowknife? I could barely take the cold last night, just walking from a store to a car was too much for my ears! That contest with that poor girl giving away her polishes when she passes away is so sad. :crybaby: ]I'm so behind I was out all day and was exhausted when I got home - Nice hauls and manis people!! ]I have a new(old) friend!Home is where it will be -33c tonight and -34 in the morning (Thats -26/27 in fake far. degrees). Pretty!! Oh wow.... so very sad.I found two more Anna Sui polishes at a discount, a red in a heart bottle and a sparkly pink in a flower bottle (And a rose gold sparkly for a family member).

Ah, I see. I didn't read all the way through because it was making me too sad.Yes, it said that the winner will have to go and collect the polishes AFTER her passing away.
Thanks.
That's good to hear. I haven't heard anything from Enchanted.
Apparently she's not very keen on combining orders and doesn't refund the extra shipping even if she does which is pants. But I had to place 2 orders, so I guess I just have to swallow the extra shipping cost.
Thank you very much! But actually it's beginning to get a bit ridiculous now. Nobody needs 1500 polishes....

Sorry to hear of your Llarowe troubles. That would annoy me, too. There must be a better way. It's also pretty odd that the website is still having so many issues after all this time. It's almost like Enchanted basically got dropped for nothing. I think Llarowe should reach out to ILNP. Their website seems to have a great setup. I've only ordered from ILNP twice now, so I don't know if there are any issues that I don't know about. But the 2 times I did order have been extremely smooth and headache free.

That's a thermal polish? I only have my one thermal from Takko, but I love it. It's so much fun to wear. I really want more thermals, but I'm trying to avoid new brands. I got sucked into ILNP polishes and I already have 18 of them after only 2 orders. That's why I'm trying to be good. I know myself. I tend to go crazy.
