Where is everyone??? I'm still in Florida. Any more news on the Pshiiit EP restock? Also, there's a NPC restock, on the 7th it's Canadian customers only, then US customers on the 8th. Will probably miss out. Also saw that there's a Takko sale on the 9th. Will definitely miss out on that. 
Meanwhile we are having fun in the sun here. Haven't really bought any nail polish other than a bottle of Revlon, my husband isn't keen on me buying more make up and polish, but it's my birthday on Wednesday and I will go to CVS and see if I find anything. That said, I've placed a few orders, one with Glam Polish, one with Liquid Sky Lacquer and one with Rainbow Connection, shh, don't tell him!

Lol, red and gold = Xmas every time! I don't think that was the aim since it's named after the Reading festival though!It is! I might grab some of those Essies.
Pretty manis! You have long fingers to go with those long nails (I miss my long nails, too). Love the neon orange and the bright red on the water manis!
Thank you for letting us know, Rekhyt! Finally she's doing it, but wth - c'est pendant les Pâques!? I'm trying to stalk but I'm visiting family. And I'm only missing 4 flakies, the 3 cremes, SNA and Scintealliant. We'll see.
TY! I have only Lala and YT. Should wear the latter.
Thank you, PQ! We're just missing the sun and warmth!
Thanks, GM is a lovely brown, glowy.
Nice setting!
I get a C-masy feeling from this polish!
There's a bloke where I work and every time I wear red he calls me Santa's little helper - I'm trying to spread the word that you can actually wear red all year round!

I like your blingy mani! Great colours.And the latest: FUN Payday with some Hare Name Unavailable: Trademarked. Those combo nails are mattified. Payday was a bit OTT.
And since I'm low on TC, I decided to wear Essie Comfy in Cashmere (it would have looked nicer with a glossy TC though).

I'm not planning to buy anything, sorry Anitacska! Nothing I want, which saves cash and stalking time! Hope someone else will be able to help out.Ladies, those of you ordering from the Pshiiit EP restock, could you please think of me and if you can, order a Scintealliant for me. I'm not able to be online much, so if the restock is happening before the 10th, I will miss it.Thank you!

Glad you're having fun! Haven't heard any more re Pshiiit, NPC is the same for me - nothing I want, which saves cash, time and frustration.Where is everyone??? I'm still in Florida.

Takko I'm pretty much covered for my needs as well.
Secret shopping is safe with me!
Catch you when you get back, hopefully with mani pics!

I also have a new mani - Takko Lacquer Wooster St (over a Special FX nude metallic):
I have to say, I don't like this one bit! The Takko may well look better over a darker or more complimentary colour (I'd have chosen a blue with hindsight), but as my first exposure to the colour shifting flakey avalanche of polishes, I'm completely underwhelmed. I honestly don't see what these bring to the table that the colour shifting glitters from a few years ago (eg EP Big City Lights collection, Ozotic Elytras etc) didn't provide. The flakes are mostly the same size as the glitters were, they shift the same way...
Anyone agree? I'm glad I didn't go too mad for these style of things, I have a few on order with coloured bases, or additional shimmer, but I don't think I have any more of this type on the way, and I'm relieved!
I'm also a bit disappointed - I'm building up to an ILNP order, and theirs were the ones I really fancied - wasn't going to go mad, just maybe get one to try, but this mani has put me right off!
Can anyone out there persuade me I'm wrong before I order? I'm feeling all "emperor's new clothes" about these style of polishes at the moment - and massively relieved I resisted the EP preorder. I thought I might go for them at Pshiiit/NPC/Meimei/Femme Fatale, but I won't be now!
Anyhow, I shall live with this for a few days to firm up my thoughts!

Anyone seen these?
I think several of the holos will be making their way to me! Not a fan of the film - but what a pretty collection!

Pretty colour for summer - but what a disappointing brush! I don't own any Dior, but with their pricepoint I would expect a decent one.
Guys! I have a Dior polish called Wonderland and the brush has been effed up since day one. Are all of their polishes like this or is this just some weird fluke? Impossible to use, gonna have to trim it...

A real favorite white NP of mine is China Glaze Dandy Lyin‘ Around (White Cream Shimmer). I also like Essie Blanc (Snowy White).Hello, ladiesI've been trying to go through the last 50 pages in the past few days but I'm making an order now and I have a question - can someone recommend a good opaque milky white nail polish? Preferably from OPI, China Glaze or Essie. Thank you in advance, I might post some pictures later, I loooove nail polishes

Awesome Maggie!!!!! I love the length of your nails...I can't seem to pull that length off anymore---my nails always break as soon as I gain any length to themThe pictures are from the last 2-3 years. I used to love long nails, then in the last maybe 4 years I've been keeping them short. Recently I started liking them longer again, I just need to change the shape a bit.

Love these blues!!!!!!Lala has a subtle pinkish flash and is a tiny smidgen more tealish than WFU but the difference is not that big and rather subtle, they are quite similar. WFU and Lala are cream holos while Scintealliant has stronger holo, addtitonal blue/teal sparkly shimmer and a kind of a metallic-like finish (without the bubbling and stripes of metallics).
Young Turks and Scintealliant are different from each other and from WFU and Lala.
I don't know the NCLA and I won't look because I don't need to fall for yet another brand.
Quick, messy swatches on sticks. My cam and lighing are quite subpar, for example Scint isn't as dark as in the sunlight pic and it doesn't show the sparkles but it might serve as a small indicator to differences between them. From left to right: Scintealliant - Lala - WFU - Young Turks:

That's an NP w/ one of the new brushes---I hate them. The old brushes were perfection as far as I'm concerned. I have Wonderland and just checked my brush-----it's
