@MRV from what I understand it was the Fashion Night Out shade which means it wasn't released in the US at first. Colormeloud did a post on it

http://www.colormeloud.com/2014/09/chanel-le-vernis-sweet-star-for-fashion.html
I'm in North Europe, and here we did not get it at all. I enquired about it, and they just had some regular red in that slot.


Here's finally my current mani: Dior duo in 001 Samba (from 2013, so I'm finally wearing it!).

Yay, you're all finally getting your stuff!


This is such a beautiful polish!


A lovely pair of shift! Sometimes it's nice to play with just the texture. Mermaid toes, too! Hope you're enjoying your time in France.


I think this Chanel was not released here. I might have been interested (if I had fould it discounted).

Such a pretty neon! And another mermaid!


A pretty rose holo! Which Glams do you recommend btw?


I should post my missing manis. I have not been so eager to post via mobile cause there are some difficulties.
Re Glams - I particularly like the Cast A Spell collection, so I'd try those first. Their microglitters are awesome too. And with the holos, they're really nice, so if you like the colour I'd go for it.

I was online thinking of buying some A Englands just when the holo A Box Indied went up {I do not subscribe to their newsletter so honestly did not know about it} They are doing halos this month so i went for it. I never have done one of their boxes or those beauty box services before. I like picking and choosing my things

Do people trade the colors they do not like? Of course I want the teal and pink from last month but I do not want to spend $50 for 2 polishes

Oo, well done! I'd love to see pics when they arrive. I don't do the boxes very often, though sometimes it's nice to get surprises! Hope you love them!

I cannot find this on the Chanel nail thread so I suppose it is from here.. somebody commented that vampy colors are for fall and winter. It tickled my funny bone since Vamp was a spring release. I was appreciating the Darkness of Nars Purple Haze with Vendetta on accent finger but switched to RBL Bella to palette cleanse before my halos arrive.

I do wish I had kept the rest of this RBL collection. Unfortunately I do not get opaqueness from RBL and it tends to be streaky as well so I did part with the set except for this because I always can use white tips for frenchies....I have on 2 coats and it is a streaky mess. And as for coverage looks like one of the OPI ballet collections. So if I was going to keep one I should have kept Jack for the color. sigh
I don't do seasonal with colours, I know what I like and it will be worn year round!

So many manis, love them!
Of course, the July 2014 is my red holo loving favourite!
Your multispotty one is lots of fun!

oh I popped in here mid nail polish removal to see if I happened to photograph the much maligned RBL Bella and no so I took a picture. Unfortunately I was on my second hand so you have cotton ball floofs sticking to the polish:


Even a closer shot of eczema and NOTE THIS IS TWO COATS OF BELLA OVER BUTTER LONDONS NAIL FOUNDATION WHICH IS A BEIGE POLISH. THE BOTTOM FINGER HAS THE RBL ON IT AND THE TOP ONE HAS POLISH REMOVED.

FULL OPACITY AT 2 COATS MY ARSE

Thanks! They look lovely, I was very tempted this month, especially by the CbL - I especially love the blue one though! Enjoy wearing them!

I can see why you're not happy, that's just terrible.

Hope so, but I'm not so happy after paying 40 Euros of taxes for her products of late. I'm in North Europe, and here we did not get it at all. I enquired about it, and they just had some regular red in that slot. Here's finally my current mani: Dior duo in 001 Samba (from 2013, so I'm finally wearing it!).
Nice!

My latest mani is Powder Perfect - The Wanderer:




There are some lovely coloured glitters in pink/purple/green which the camera refuses to see, plus silver holo flakies - it's very shimmery when the holo doesn't take over.

I ended up doing my nails in a berry creme called Vixen by Nail Tek. As best as I can tell they don't make polish anymore... or has anybody seen some?

@MRV your nails always look so perfect--like they were done at a salon. I rarely get mine to look even half as good.

@PearlyQueen ah holos are so beautiful. I am a road hazard when wearing them

Hello, I'm back! Got a few bad mani pictures (manis were fine, pictures aren't great), and a couple of haul pictures. I came home to find my Bear Pawlish and Mei Mei (Glam) orders, so that was nice. Still waiting for my EPs to arrive, hope they don't get caught by customs this time. I placed a teeny tiny order with RC while in France, but that's all.

Here are my manis, they are all OPI minis, need to look up their names, but one is from the James Bond coll, one is last summer's sand polish and the blue one is Mariah Carey sand polish. Oh and the first one is ILNP Honor Roll with Nails Inc Galaxy Westminster Bridge Road.









Think Pink trio and some of the Gleek polishes.

Just got the slip for my customs fee for the EP package. Ugh. And annoyingly the postman didn't write the amount on it, so can't pay it online and have it redelivered. So now I have to go down to the sorting office. Idiots can't get anything right. Hoping that Stackry can now ship nail polish (just emailed them) as the new EP launch is on Saturday and I really don't want to get stung again.

Nice manis, I like the last two the best. I miss me some textures, I have worn almost all I have. The green and the middle Bears look really nice.

Here they don't write the value either and you still have to pay online. It's really nice when you have multiple packages coming from one place. (Or when the put the sender as "Australia"). And you cannot put the value you know is written on the package (< EP) because you never know if they want to see the receipt. That's how Enchanted was exposed. Never ever has an Enchanted USD27 package been caught by the customs until now, after the one that contained 6 polishes.

Ugh, is there a time/pics yet?

More bad news: now you cannot order normally from FF any more. My last order was shipped via Shiro Cosmetics (USA), and now the only option is DHL (46 Euros for shipping - not going to happen). And I was so exited to order the new collection.

Well, I invested in a new pair of fancy gym Nikes instead.
