Thank you for letting us know. Under normal circumstances I would be there, but I'm not sure if I can get to my computer in time as I have a meeting that can decide the next 6 moths of my life!Thanks, Anitacska! Lovely mani, the holo looks so pretty and the stamping on it, too.
Thanks, PQ!
Thank you! It had some nice depth, I don't think the lightness bothered though because there was still some sparkle and glow to it.
Congrats! I missed out the restock of course. Yesterday we had the last bank holiday, and today I was back at work, not yet up to date.
New mani's EP Ceram Sea and PP Never Nude.
Nice mani, very creative!
LLL isn't LE, it was initially a surprise launch and ever since I keep missing out on it. Meh.
Thanks, Anitacska! Oh, okay. Maybe not after tomorrow!?

Ugh, really annoyed with EP right now. I was on the site (direct link to La La Land), it was showing maintenance, refreshed, it came on, clicked add to cart and it was gone already! WTF??? It didn't say sold out until 23 minutes past, but I didn't have time to continuously refresh as I had to get children from school. 9 am and 3 pm restocks are the worst for me. I really don't understand why the EP woman isn't making enough polish to go around, there are so many people on FB who missed out, she could've sold another 100. Meanwhile Good Life is still available, it's also up on Femme Fatale. Make some more La La Lands instead of bloody Good Life!
On another note, I have a couple of manis and a small haul to share with you. First is Polished by KPT Color Me Purple thermal polish.
Cold
Transition
Warm
The next one is Indigo Bananas Hallucinate with Polish Me Silly Free Fall flakies.
I forgot who it was that said was interested in the PMS flakies (Anneri?), I've only tried this one so far, but I really like it. Actually prefer it to the ILNP ones because this has much smaller flakies and the coverage you see there is just 3 coats over the IB which doesn't even show at all. Okay, these are not multichrome (duochrome and lots of different colour flakies), but they are really nice.
Finally my little haul:
Donna, Lambo Limelight, Through The Looking Glass, Bridal Veil

Thank you! I used Mentality Beige Opaque (it's kind of matte metallic). I also have Purple Opaque but I have not used it yet. The plate is Moyou #05 from the PRO XL Collection I think. I don't know! I have had the same thing happen with regular TC (glossy>matte). Maybe they react with other products or something?

Ah, well, I'm glad you managed to get it. Maybe I could've if I hadn't had to go and pick up from school. I kept refreshing until about 5 mins past and then 15 mins to 23 mins, but no luck. Oh well, I can live without another polish I might not even get around to using for another 5 years!Sorry to hear that, Anitacska. The same thing happened to me at first. LLL was my main target but it was gone by the time the site went up. I was able to put Dark Fantasy and Amazing (or actually two of it) into my cart though so I got them. Then about 8-9 minutes past I somehow managed to put two LLLs into my cart! (> LLL was out before the given time!) Can't believe that!
Pretty manis! Esp. the second one looks lovely. Warm metallics!

Is that DL polish blue or purple? I was looking on their website to see which one it was and on there #649 is purple!

There's another chance tomorrow @EP! Hope you will be lucky!Ah, well, I'm glad you managed to get it. Maybe I could've if I hadn't had to go and pick up from school.

It's a mega royal purple with red undertones. In the bottle it looks more intese, but it's less colourful on nails (and the phone cam just ignores it). Today's the second day wearing it, and there's some odd crackles. I don't know if it's the polish itself or the matte TC (it's be Picture Polish though).

Thanks, I saw the EP newsletter. Ugh, why can't she just do a pre-order for Christ's sake??? At least hopefully people will be going for the glitter polish instead, so that might give me half a chance to score LLL. Haven't worked out what time it is yet, 6 or 7 pm, neither's great for me (dinner, bathtime), but will try.
EDIT: It's 7 pm, bathtime. Ugh, wish it was 8 pm or later.

Aside from the EP fiasco, I have a mani to share. I'm really pleased with it, and it wasn't even hard to do.
I used China Glaze Scandalous Shenanigans as base, the added Topshop Plume and stamped with YSL White Gold. On the accents I also added KBShimmer Hex Appeal before stamping.

I tried to get the glitters only (I don't have any EP glitters) and managed to get Freeze Machine, too, but on the second round (about 11-12 past). I would have bought NA, too, but messed up too much with the windows.

But I adore the blingy mani below it! That gold is stunning.
Nice mini-haul too.

I paid a fortune for one on a blog sale before I realised she was going to release it regularly through stockists
I must rescue it from my PO box soon!

Sorry to hear you've missed out again. I was tempted to buy the glitters but I totally forgot the restock.
