Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Anitacska]

Looks like there are monthlies and monthly oopsies! (BTW, I just got them!) Uh, EdM has put out yet another batch!

I will have to get back on those CbLs. I have hardly bought any this year.

I think CC is prettier than the blue version. Ouch, 100K would have been on my list but I did not know it was that limited.

Thank you!

Thanks, yes, it's a freehand exclamation heart

.

Oh, that Lilypad and your mani are very pretty! Like the green DD, too.


Unfortunately I have to pass. She's (and they're) expensive and I just pushed the button for 13 FFs. Had to after noticing that FF now has some hard-to-get stockist's exclusives for sale and the AUD is weak, and even with the insane shipping (and 24% VAT!) the price per bottle is the almost same as all the polishes from stockists not counting shipping costs. Plus, now I don't have to stalk and can avoid a possible site problem with C4N (> and multiorders)! Unfortunately I was a bit late and was not able to get the COTM, but maybe later.

Argh, you shouldn't have told me that! I just ordered 10 FFs and 2 exclusive Lilypads! All your fault!

The color is awesome! I had something like this when made manicure during my rest in Ibiza at this salon: nail-it-europe.com/.

Well. I never got an update from Stackry about the whole license / shipping situation and I send them an email yesterday, complaining about their information policy.

This was their reply:

Quote: I am very sorry the wait was so long, we have just been licensed via FedEx shipping only, but have not yet announced it. You will be one of the first to be done. Please go into your account and fill in the description and declared value of the last package then drag it on top of the other box and make the selections for the consolidation . Please let us know once you have done this so we can help process this right away for you as you have been very patient. Once they have completed it you will receive your automated email . Please remember that this will need to be shipped out via FedEx as nail polish is considered a "dangerous good".

Thank you so much for your patience,

Your Stackry Support Team




Since I read here that Anitacska inquired at the end of July and had her packages shipped at the beginning of August, (a month ago!), I am pissed off about this answer. "Just" licensed and "one of the first" my arse (pardon my language).




btw, thank you for the heads up about the Takko restock at Mei Mei's, Anitacska!

That's very cheeky of them! Be sure to mention that I was given a $30 discount "for being patient"!

Did you manage to score some Takkos? I got 7.

 

[lumaday]

Not sure if this is the place to post this, but:

I missed out on the NYFWT code with Zoya, which was the 2015 NYFW satin trio. If anyone has it I would love to trade for it or buy!

Yep, I did reply that the ladies whose packages were shipped a month ago got a discount... I just got the reply they are generously offering me 15 $.

I only got Wanderlust, I have been wanting this one for ages. I got Floridazed and a couple of other new ones from Llarowe maybe I should have waited for Mei Mei since her shipping is way cheaper but I don't have much faith in secret restocks.

That's not fair!

They also gave me $20 when I had about third of the stuff shipped to a friend in the US. I did bug them a lot, maybe they got fed up with me!

I got Wanderlust too and some of the new ones. I'm pleasantly surprised, Mei Mei just refunded me $9.50 shipping. I did complain a while back because she overcharged me majorly, as her shipping goes by value, not weight and these Takko bottles are quite small in comparison to some other brands.

Just been trying to work out where I should order the ILNPs from. RC is only giving a 30p discount per bottles, but is obviously a lot cheaper to ship (£1 vs. $26.75), but it still works out £6 cheaper to order from ILNP directly. What to do, what to do?

RC is also having FF, EdM and Celestial restock tonight. Then Bear Pawlish is restocking today as well and Lilypad on Sunday. After that I'm definitely not buying any polish for a while. I really want some Glams, but RC won't have them a for a couple of weeks, so just as well.

Anyone heard from EP yet? It feels like ages since the restock. Also wondering when she's launching the new monthlies, guessing it'll be September and October together.

Speaking about Takko. I noticed that one of the newest EdMs - Copper Patina - looks a lot like Jabberwocky.

Uh, so many restocks. I have not yet even ordered from the Spring or Summer ILNP collections! I've actually been waiting for a discount code but there has not been any in a good while. Just my luck, I get them when I don't need them and when I need...

I just checked out my orders today. My EPs have not been shipped. Otherwise, I have been receiving a good amount of orders, five packages "restocking" nine brands.


And my latest mani's Essies (Cocoa Karma; Orange, It's Obvious, Garden Variety) with KBS Sand in My Stocking (which was made for The Polishaholic).

 

[rekhyt]

Now they're stalling... I told them I 've read somewhere that there have been bigger discounts (30$) for people whose packages were shipped a lot earlier than mine.

Dear ...,

I am very sorry but I am not sure which person you are referring to, is there a blog or link that you can provide so I can try to figure it out?

I am appalled by the cheek. First they lie to me (because let's be real, they just forgot about me and my packages) and now they want to wriggle out of compensating me adequately for having to wait more than 5 whole months for my property.

Feel free to tell them it was me and that Theresa gave me the discount.

 

[Anneri]

That Cupcake looks nice! I was about to order a few Cupcakes some weeks ago but my laptop was so slow that one of them sold out so I left them for now.

Well done! You've really duped the EP! I have not bought anything from that collection yet except for the limited duo (and the whole Pahlish collection, oops

).


Sorry to hear about Stackry. Hope you are able to squeeze them for a bit more. And congrats!

Yeah, so many restocks, new collections and Labor day discounts! Eeeek! Totally broke right now after our vacation so I'm a bit miffed that I can't get new polishes.

I was looking for the Elevation/Pahlish coop and can't find it anywhere? Where do they actually sell them? I'd love to have that duo that's a teal thermal with a flakie tc.

 

[awickedshape]

Yeah, I'm too weak.

My RC order has arrived with some Bears and a Cupcake.





I also had a bit of time and mixed some polishes, the purple one is Ciate Pillow Fight mixed with ILNP Kaleidoscope (I saw an Elevation Polish that looked similar to this and thought I can probably make it) and the other one is Ciate Ivory Queen with ILNP Brilliance (H).







Edited to add, this is the Elevation I was talking about (Le Citta Invisibli). Looks similar, no?

Those remind me of robin's eggs

Oh, sorry, Anneri. The set was available only during August. I just got it today. I was originally interested in the whole deal (Elevation and Pahlish collections plus the set). It was an awesome deal: USD 150 + 5 for shipping (!). I waited too long and it sold out and was not restocked on the 22nd.

I can't get anything either for the next few weeks. Unless I win in the lottery. You know, some in my town won 46 Million Euros some weeks ago. I really do not want to know who this person is!

 

[rekhyt]

Feel free to tell them it was me, Anita James, and that Theresa gave me the discount.

Interesting, take a wild guess what the name of the person I spoke to was.....

Thank you! It kinda worked, I do have a discount of 25 $ now. I'm really displeased with their customer service, I don't know. Maybe I am oversensitive because I worked in customer service myself while I was a student and we were drilled about the big NoNo's in regard to communicating with customers but their way of handling things and their tone leave a really bad taste in my mouth.

Ah, well, I will finally get my Fancy Gloss, Glams and Bears...there better be no broken bottles!

That's better. But like you said their customer service sucks. Hope you get your pretties in one piece.

Quick haul and mani pictures.







My current mani is Ciate Peppermiinty with Claire Shiver over it.

 

[PearlyQueen]

No, I didn't either. Although I don't think it was the brand so much as the website being very slow. Apparently it's okay now.


Thank you.

Apparently it has now emerged that some people who never used Mentality have had the same reaction, and they all used Nubar or Seche Rapid, both of which are owned by companies that also own Arminex. So the base could well have been at fault. However it doesn't change the fact that Mentality handled the problem extremely poorly and as a result they seemed to have dug their own grave. Their shop is closed and the IG account has been deleted.


Thanks Fuzzy!


Ooh that's a lovely green! Been meaning to ask, what is a Tiki party exactly?

Oh dear, I do have one Nubar polish (unworn) but I've had it for a couple of years, so hopefully I can use it safely (when I finally get round to it...)

 

[PearlyQueen]

My current mani, inspired by MRV because Crystal Couture is just too gorgeous!

The dark one is Glam Polish Cancer (HP exclusive). It's a nice holo with red sparkles, but no sun today, so these are the best pictures I could take.

Oh I really like Cancer now I see it on, I must have a think if I can pay for one!

 

[PearlyQueen]

I don't think I've heard of Fair Maiden before - but you seem to have one at least!

A little Diva in the making for sure!

Thanks, Fuzzy! I went to two H&Ms here but did not find anything Honi posted.


Very pretty! And you Tiki Party sounds fun.

Very pretty indeed!

CC made my IG explode! I don't know why. The photo is not even a good one.


Oh, no. Nubars, too?! I have a total collection I have not worn yet but otherwise I don't think I have much else.


Latest mani's PP enchanting (with some KBS She's Beyond Kelp). The colors are washed out here - enchanting is an awesome green. If you love green, get it, I say!

That's a really nice green, just the sort of shade I like.
