My new mani is Powder Perfect - Fog is Rolling In

Hello! I've been busy these past two days. Some bad, some good. Anyway, I have lots of stuff to show you. First is my mani, this is F.U.N Lacquer Secret Admirer, a rose pink thermal that's very very light pink / gold when warm. It changes very quickly, so it was almost impossible to capture both colours at the same time. Also, my nails are really short (about 5 of them broke in the last 2 days), so there's not much of them not touching my fingers. And that is why you get to see my right hand today as the nails on my left hand are even shorter!

I then jazzed them up with these cute Essence nail stickers.
Okay, onto hauls. Finally got the last off the Barry M Glitterati polishes (Rockstar) and Moonlight which is one of the Boots exclusives.
On that note, I went to another Tesco, but no sign of the exclusive polish. They didn't even have any of the Glitteratis yet.
I also went to Sally's and got 3 of the new China Glazes, one from the holiday collection and two from the All Aboard collection. The rest were a bit samey or just dull.
I also got this set from the OPI Gwen Stefani collection. I wasn't that interested in the gold one, but the other two were must haves for me and this way the gold one was free.
Finally, not NP related, but had to show you this cute jumper I bought today! Love it so much!

You're going to have glitzy nails with all those glittery polishes you've been buying - enjoy!
And I do love the jumper!

My EdMs arrived from Llarowe yesterday, completely unexpectedly. I don't remember when I placed the order, but it wasn't at all long ago. Not complaining, just (pleasantly) surprised. They're all so pretty.
And here's my mani, CbL Woodstock with Topshop Hat Trick on accents. I actually put the Topshop polish between two layers of Woodstock, so it doesn't show up that well, but you still get the sparkles and the holo on top. Like it.
Woodstock is a really pretty polish. I love chartreuse.

Thank you! Unfortunately it seems to be unavailable atm. I happened to see the polish on a blog the day after the review so I was able to get it and another one, but now they're both gone.
I'm hoping for something like the latest secret ones.

Thanks!Pretty haul! I don't think I have any of these.
Time well spent!
Nice! Do you like Amazing?
Thank you, PQ! The Uptown was much nicer than I thought it would be. It did not chip on me in 48h. Not a big fan of CC either, but they have some great polishes.
Congrats on your new vanity! Every girl should have one.
Thanks, Fuzzy!
Pretty, very glowy!
The shade looks really pretty in this last pic. I was eyeing Power Perfect on Meimei but did not order anything at the end.
That's a pretty thermal and those stickers perfect for it!
Oh! You got that Choo Choo one. It sold out really fast on my eBay seller (and many other plasces too) it seems.
Funny cats!
And three is goood!

Hi, pretty manis! I just checked out that Essie collection last week but did not get anything. I have not been able to order any Peanut polishes either. For some reason my eBay seller does not have them but come next payday I have to get them from somewhere. I'm also interested in the Beagle one.Ive missed you all, this thread somehow got buried and I didnt even realize! I have so many manis to show you but I dont wanna spam you so here's two

I've been thinking about the EPs too, I'm still hoping for a proper gold holo, wouldn't mind something in a bright turquoise/teal, would love to see something deeper in a berry shade, and maybe a more blue leaning mid green would be nice...Thank you!
Oooh, I have a style!Nice mani.
Did you see the blood moon? It was not visible here sadly, very disappointing. Especially as my younger daughter is learning about the Moon and we've been charting the phases for 4 weeks now. Apparently the next one is going to be at the beginning of April 2015 and we're going to be in Florida then, so hopefully we'll see it.
Ooh, I like this a lot. I love using polish over black, Nails Inc Black Taxi is my most used nail polish after basecoats/topcoats.
Pretty!
Yay! I'm really happy for you! Hope we get some duochromes and blues, greens, etc. as there's been lots of warm colours lately. Or maybe a nice pink.

I think all the monthlies will be straight holos, but she did throw a curveball with June, so you never know!

I know what you mean about holos - I'm knocking colours off the list as I wear ones that truly fit the bill for that kind of shade, but if they're unworn I just keep plugging away! Bella Donna totally killed violet holos for me, I don't need any more now, and Jealousy was sooo perfect for a pink/berry/magenta shade that I've knocked a load of those off the wishlist too. The Cirque ones do appeal though! I thought they were on sale everywhere, but neither Harlow nor Meimei have them yet. No rush, I'm still broke!Thanks! You should! I think you might like it a lot. The Polishaholic just had the Burlesque colours. There are some good ones but holos have short of become "new cremes" for me - can't buy them all, have so many already, and they start to look like other holos anyway.
Too bad about that thermal. Wonder if you can wear a thermal over a colored base - would it still work. But you are right other brands are better making thermals.
I don't even know what holographic water decals are! And nail vinyls!?
Thanks! It is. I got three bottles- but that really equals to just one normal bottle.
I almost ordered but went with some Cadillacquer Halloween and other polishes instead. The CbLs looked quite sheer and I was just wondering whether I already have orange holos or not.
Nice to see you Fuzzy!LOVE your new sofa. I'm a fan of retro and teal is one of my fave colours. Just bought a t-shirt in that same shade.
Nice manis! I still have not worn Zuza yet. It looks lovely. And nothing wrong with Runt. It looks really cute in pics!
What is that EdM - second pic, second to the right (with some golden glitter?)?
Woodstock is a really pretty polish. I love chartreuse.

Amazing looks cool in the bottle, not sure if it will give decent coverage or not, but it's very shiny. Not as silvery as I expected, it almost looks like a mix of gold and silver in most lighting, slightly yellowy if you know what I mean. I did a paper swatch, and it's really cool looking.Pretty haul! I don't think I have any of these.
Time well spent!

Another unexpected nail mail today. My consolidated package came from the US. Last time it took much longer, so wasn't expecting it at all yet. But I'm happy. Lots of pretty polishes! All from Llarowe.
Lilypads, most of them are the Llarowe exclusives.
October A Box Indied
The box is much smaller now than a year ago which is cool.
Some others, HK Girl topcoat, CbL Michael Jackson polishes and Black Cat Lacquers.
On that note, anyone ordering anything from the CbL preorder tonight? I'm skipping it, there are a few I like incl. Mercy
, will probably get them from RC when she has them.
