Thanks. I'm more excited about Europe than the Takkos actually. Their new video has just come out and the new album is out on the 2nd March. It's called War of Kings if anyone's interested.Huh, I'm so behind...
Congrats on Takkos and Europe! Your VIP packages really sound something to look for!
Thanks!
Wish that was true! I have not gotten the second new one. I think I'm not able to house more than the 4 I've got now.
Very pretty! You managed to wear two polishes I've had trouble with: my UV has separated(colourwise) and the first bottle Unpredictable came to me in pieces. A lovely polish though.
I also ordered Dashboard Dreamer and Sun's Up Top Down! Got them just last Friday. I was tempted by one or two others but did not get them this time.
It's weird indeed. I've had my shipping discussion with her, too. It just does not make sense, it's not like they were insured or something.
Sorry to hear about our troubles. It's a very nice polish and mani regardless.
Thanks for the tip, Anneri! I might look into that later, my things are mostly packed now so I have to postpone this kind of projects.
Well done with your first water marbling! I should finally try that out, too.
Hey there, Fuzzy! That's a very pretty mani you did with SFW!
How many polishes does a Helmer take? I may have some extra space once we've done out loft extension (possibly in the spring/summer), so thinking of getting some proper storage for my nail polishes.
Sorry to hear about your troubles with UV and Unpredictable. Have you contacted PP about it? Indie makers are usually pretty good about replacing their faulty polishes, word of mouth is a very strong way of people hearing about them and they need to keep their good reputation.
I've just ordered some liquid palisade and will try water marbling soon.

I like it. What polish did you stamp with? What plate (to avoid, hahaha)?New mani's Elevation Quarter Past Midnight. For some reason stamping was difficult, I could not get the pattern on the stamper (it was a new plate), nor to show up really (used 2 different poslishes), and not to mention photopraphing it! The studs are a GWP from EdM.

I also ordered Stand in the Clouds, but I'm not going for those monthly/box/or whatnot polishes, it would be just too difficult/expensive.
TY! First I tried with AE Crown of Thistles (ring finger) and then with Mentality Purple Opaque (this was the international mani model stamping polish). The plate is EdM10.
New mani's CG Dashboard Dreamer (so pretty icy blue with pinky shimmer), FF Mermaiden's Adoration

Epic nail mail yesterday, I'd emptied out my US postbox.
Mind you, it's full again. Anyway, the Different Dimension order was from the end of December, so it's not as bad as it seems (or at least that's what I tell myself
).
2 A.M. Summer Night is so pretty and very difficult to photograph. I got that from a girl on the FB group. Freeze Machine is from the last restock, it's my second one, hoping to swap it for something else, or sell it later.
Current mani is Femme Fatale Midnight Masquarade. I wore it alone yesterday then stamped on it with Models Own Chrome Gold (I can confirm it stamps really well) and added Miss Sporty Candy Shine 003 glitter. I really like this combo.

Lol, I couldn't even master a stamping plate - I did try!Thanks so much for having me!!! I wish I were truly talented... I envy women who can do nail art with paint brushes and acrylic. I just use stamping plates

OMG that silver holo is absolutely stunning! Silvers don't really suit me, but you wear them so well I always want them when I see your pics!I can give you a Helmer estimate once I remember to check it out at home.
No, but that's a good idea, thanks.

I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THAT PURPLE GLAM (THIRD ONE!) IS!!!!! I enlarged the pic, but I can't see it!
Love your mani too, though I must admit I think I prefer it pre-stamping. Embarassingly, I can't remember if I have that polish or not!!! Glad the MOs worked out as planned though.

It is their store exclusive, Temptation. http://glampolish.bigcartel.com/product/temptation-limited-edition-store-exclusive-pre-order-official-release-date-april-30th You can have it shipped to the US (from their US distributor) if you're interested.

Thank you! I've been thinking about an order soon, so I'll add that one to the list - it looks so much nicer in your pic than in theirs, I hadn't really paid it any attention. Mind you, there are sooo many pretties that they make, I've been going a bit nuts ordering them!

You're welcome. I have bought so many lately as well. I have a package from RC waiting at the post office (missed the postman, I have another 2 as well, so tomorrow I'll be posting similar pictures, incl. a MASSIVE Darling Diva order) and that has 6 more Glam Polishes in it. Now just need to get around to using them!

I did some swatch sticks this past week, so that's all the polish I did. lol
Had loads of fun this morning, I look out my window a little before 5am and there is a river running down the front lawn and walkway. one of the water mains blew out (not my building's water) My rain boots got a good workout lol I was mid-calf deep in slush trying to help the police officer to find where it was coming out of the calling the building manager to let him know. The city is now digging up the road to repair it(LOUD!!) they're done for the night, back tomorrow no doubt. Lots of ice outside and even more rock salt!

[@]Anitacska[/@] take a look at the 9 drawer Alex for storage. Much more expensive than the Helmer obviously, but depending on how you use it, I reckon you could get your collection in 2 of them. There are 5 small drawers and 4 deep ones. I have my polish in 4 of the small ones - currently have around 380 polishes and still lots of room in those drawers. In the deep drawers I use these Skubb baskets - http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/60192633/ - two small squares and two rectangles fit perfectly in one drawer, and if you had some polishes you weren't precious about being stood up you could get a lot in those drawers that way. Even standing everything up, I reckon it must hold around 1000 polishes. Only major drawback is that the drawers don't come all the way out, so whatever's in the back isn't that easy to get to (but the plus side of that is the drawers are self supporting). ETA As I'm home now I just did a little shuffling around and worked out that one drawer will hold 150 A-Englands if you fill it to the back.

Thanks Jenny, that's really helpful! It won't happen until the summer, but I'll keep it in mind. Ran out of energy to post my pictures (epic nail mail day 2), will do it tomorrow. Prepare yourselves for some massive nail polish porn! :haha:

Are you ready for some massive nail polish spam?
Firstly my HUGE Darling Diva haul. They are all so pretty. The last 8 are the new flakies.
More Glam Polishes from Rainbow Connection (first 3 are their exclusives).
Also from RC.
New CbLs and a couple of others.
My first Cupcake Polishes and Mac Silver Dew.
If you're interested in names, please ask, I can't type them all up.
My mani, EdM Seeing Red with EdM Heart Street. I considered some stamping as well, but Seeing Red is such a pretty holo, I decided to leave it alone.
I also got this cute nail polish pendant from RC (it's from Starrily). Love it!
