Happy new year fellow NPAs! Did you all have fun last night? I was watching films with the children until 2.30 am!
My new year mani is Color Club Beyond with Darling Diva Crooked Star and some stamping that's meant to resemble fireworks. Need to get a good fireworks stamping plate though.
View attachment 50934
Forgot to say I used the clear jelly stamper (I also tried it on my last mani) and it works really well. I'd heard that it's too stiff, but it isn't and picks up images really well. Thumbs up from me!
Mani is stunning! Love all of it!
Happy New Year, hope 2016 as a single woman suits you!
My NYE was dead quiet, watched the fireworks with hubby and cats, that was about it!
Lovely manis!
The Alexes take a lot more than I though, you can easily fit 120 of the smaller bottles (like CbL, Bear Pawlish, etc.) and even at least 90 of the larger round ones (like the old Lilypads, Hare, Darling Diva) in one drawer, so they will take a lot, but I'm not very impressed with the Helmer. It's very flimsy. I think I might get another Alex if I can face another trip to IKEA and move the Helmer down to the living room for storing papers and other bits and bobs. 3 Alexes will take most of my stash. Also, I want to get a few plastic drawer units to go on top of the Alexes as there's still loads of room above them and those will be good for my make up.
I'm a bit behind updating but I think once I add those ones it will be around 1500 Plus about 100 toppers/glitters. Plus what I'm expecting in deliveries...
AKA too many!
I didn't get that Takko, thought it wouldn't really suit me, though it looks pretty on you.
Thanks MRV!
Yeah yeah, buy everything!!!
Gorgeous manis - love the EP!
New mani is Grace-Full Polish Purplerazzi:
View attachment 50483
Thanks! LOL they are a bit stained, the OPI polish is a pale pink to neutralize the yellowish tone or at least bring it to peach haha.
To be fair if I had to take the bus to Ikea it might take an hour or so lol but since they frown on flat pack furniture on the bus, I enlist someone with a car!
Sparkling Garbage is great! The jelly white OPI probably adds to the squishyness. I did tiny touch ups on the chips and it wore like iron for the next few days.
Beautiful manis! The EdM holo is amazing!
Sounds like rush hour (more like hours!) around here, but it does get better off-peak which is likely not the case in London! lol
Very Pretty mani, I should wear The Knight sometime!
Thanks!
nice flakie!
Great manis! a very pretty blue and a glowing red!
Nice! Hot and Spicy is so pretty!
Same for me, no emails at all.
Gorgeous! love those blue sparkles in there
And my mani from the holiday party I went to:
OPI Who Are You Calling Bossy?!? with KB Shimmer Flake Dance

It's been very quiet here. Is everyone busy preparing for Christmas? I have so much to show you, my Stackry stuff came yesterday as well as 4 Glam Polishes that the lovely PQ muled for me.

Two recent manis, first one is Different Dimension Musca with Drizlla Tremaine (Mystery Villain 3) on the accents. So annoying though, as Musca looks really blue in the pictures, but irl it's the most beautiful purple. Other mani is Girly Bits From Far & Wide with subtle snowflakes (stencils and Color Club Just My Luck).

So sorry to hear that you've had an issue with H&C - I've used them a few times, but never had anything go missing so I couldn't comment on the CS aspect I'm afraid. I hope you get something sorted soon, have you tried a Facebook comment? I've only ever read positive feedback before, but maybe she'll respond better to something more public than an email?
Oh no, sorry to hear about your missing package. I've never had any problems with Harlow & Co, but again, I never had anything going missing. Hope it will be sorted soon.
Hope you have a nice time away after work finishes. Hey, look out for a package at work from me! Hope it gets there before the end of the week.
Just a quick post to show you some pretties. My Glam Polish FB group exclusives came yesterday and they're all so pretty!

Arg. this freaked out the camera for some reason in this lighting, It's a very bright red in person. Of course there is no sun here, only rain and dreariness.
Merry Christmas to you all my fellow NPAs! Hope you have a good one!

I was going to come back yesterday, but my mother literally sat on the stool behind me the whole bloody day, ugh. I don't like using the computer like that and posting pictures of nail polish because she'd be constantly asking me about it. Also my daughter was using my laptop, but I've got that back now, so here we go.
Some hauls that arrived before Christmas:

Seriously quickly got tipwear with this, but my main suspect is my old topcoat that I used. Maybe. I hate to chuck out a serviceable bottle though, and the "control" nail I did with the dregs of my HK Girl has tipwear too, so not sure.
I ordered a big "Bling" bottle of HK Girl with some of my Xmas money, as this one's on its last legs and I've been wanting one for ages!
Just a quick mani as we've had no post for 4 days now due to Christmas. Hoping my BSF package comes tomorrow. I also ordered a few Lilypads and other polishes from Hypnotic Polish, but that'll take a few more days to get here.

Mani is CbL Blue, Blue Christmas with Darling Diva Flocons de Neige Sous L'aurore on the accents. The colour in the picture without flash is more accurate.
I've had some time to keep moving my polishes into the Alexes and the Helmer, but they're all filling up fast and I'm only about 2/3 done. Might invest in another Alex, but I'd need to go to IKEA again and I'm not very keen on that. I could destash but I'm not sure I'm ready for that.
I've done it!!! I've moved all my indies into the two Alexes. They are almost full, but all the indies have fitted. Yay! I still have to sort out a big chunk of my mainstream polishes (and my Helmer is practically full), but that will happen an other day.
Yay! Sounds great, wish I had the space, mine are crammed into every spare corner, drawer, shelf, box...

Enchanted Polish secret restock of 3 new colours on the website now! http://www.enchantedpolish.com/product/winter-dom-vintage-trio
Edited to say, they're all reserved, but I only had to refresh for maybe a minute to be able to add them to the cart. Good luck!
Have you finished you rearranging project yet?
We have about the same number. I have not count my purchases for 2015 yet but at least I did not get that much at the end of the year.
Thanks, PQ!
Pretty purple! I don't know this brand.
Thanks, Fuzzy!
Pretty hauls and love the mani!
Nice!
Nice topper!
Flake Dance looks awesome over a dark base!
Nice hauls again (what's the FUN in the middle?) and the mani's more than fine for this season.
JAWDROP! Hey, you got that LE Yeti. I have not seen it in a while. I thought it was going to be part of the core line, but was it LE after all?? Pretty manis again, esp, the first one.
Very pretty! Although it looks more Santa than Spider Man .
Thanks. Unfortunately the sit is the same. No package, no answer. I should open a case, but I have never done that with Paypal. I don't have FB, on my name at least, so I don't know if that's an option.
Very pretty!
Pretty hauls and manis! Love the first one. FF SK is one that I don't have.
Looks cute on you!
Lovely Xmas mani!
Looks great, esp. in the last pic.
Ooh, so many pretty FFs! How do those group sales happen? Does she ship them only to US? It took me over a month to get into the FF group, she forgot it or something and I had to ask again, and I have not had time to look into it since.
Nice combos. The kitty steals the show!
Love the green shift!
Such a lovely combo! Love the glitter one.
So it's almost done, congrats!
Hope you can get some drawers at some point. They are really handy (although I'm already in trouble with my three Helmers, had to move some into small boxes.)
I was on a cleaning and arranging roll at work and then at home! But did my nails, and then tried to take pics just before midnight. PITA!
Very pretty many! Love the stamping!!
Nice! This is also one EdM I don't have.
A bit less secret than usually as she sent a message. I had been on my laptop all day, but of course taking a shower when the message arrived. Noticed it about 20 min later, and when I realized there was no SO yet I started to refresh, and they came up rather quickly for me too.
Unfortunately my luck ended today: I did some wall painting to finish up my endless renovating, things were laying around the floor - and I hurt my toe really badly. And I shoud be travelling again next week!
Merry Christmas to you all my fellow NPAs! Hope you have a good one!

Multithanks Fuzzy!
Pretty festive nails!
Thank you!
Hope you get your Bears soon. I'm still waiting for my BSF Lilypad order from the 14th.
Yeah, the Glams are very pretty, especially the purple one. Have you seen the new collection? It's all bright colours and all very sparkly.
Ooh this is pretty! I have this too. After all these reds, golds and oranges I think I'll do a purple mani. Or a blue one.
Just a quick mani as we've had no post for 4 days now due to Christmas. Hoping my BSF package comes tomorrow. I also ordered a few Lilypads and other polishes from Hypnotic Polish, but that'll take a few more days to get here.

Will think of something cool for my NYE mani, but was too tired to bother with anything complicated last night. I also got a clear jelly stamper from HP, so will try that out tonight on top of this and see how it works. Hope it's good as the concept is brilliant, but I've heard it's a bit stiff.

I went out for new years for the first time, I think, ever(!) To the tiki bar(which had no cover, unlike most places which had massive cover prices) I made sure to go home before last call to avoid the worst of the awful drunks on transit... there were still a few, but not so bad.
This was my Xmas mani, my theme that day was dark blue and silver
