That's a very pretty pink - so sorry to hear it was tricksy though.

Hope you're feeling better now. That's a pretty mani - if you had to be stuck with a single polish throughout your cold, that's a nice one!

Lol, can't believe you're planning a year of manis around my throwaway line! This however is very pretty. Shame if the glitter has lost it's colour, though it looks good anyway!

Aah, this is so pretty.
Thank you!
Which ones are you getting?
Thanks.
Hahaha, I actually thought it was a good idea to know what really old untrieds I have. It might help me focus and steer me away from buying loads of new polishes. Although none of those are indies of course, I only started buying them in 2012. I'm a bit of a geek/bore, so it was kind of fun to crossreference them against my spreadsheet.
That said, I do have a few haul pictures, I don't seem to be able to resist new polishes still. Sigh.
TKMaxx and Superdrug finds
CbL COTM and FF RC exclusives
OPI Hello Kitty polishes
My current mani is also Zoya, but these aren't as old as the other 2 were. This is Channing with Maria Luisa on top.

Oh, blimey, -25 C is seriously cold! We sometimes get that in Hungary too, that's why I hate Hungarian winters. I'm really cold here as it is and it's +5 C. But also windy and that makes it feel a lot colder.
Thank you on all counts.
I will let you know on here if there's anything happening in the FF group. The one thing I'm aware of atm is that she's making 3 customs for the HHC (Hella Holo Customs) group. Not sure if you're part of that. They look very pretty. Also EdM is having a samples sale soon, but that's not group specific, I don't think.
Sorry to hear about your experience with Harlow & Co. Do these people not realise they live from their customers??? I had a fallout with Annette from RC, her FB group is ridiculously censored and she has her henchmen to monitor it all the time. So you literally can't post anything or get told off straight away. Eh. Also that time with Different Dimension was a bit odd too, I had already started a Paypal dispute by the time she bothered to offer a solution.
My EPs shipped yesterday too, but they are going to the US first. I didn't want to risk customs again, but someone said that the $24 she now puts on the package just slips through customs, so that's good.
Wow, what a lot of gorgeous manis! I especially love the EdMs and FFs and the last one with the EP and EvP!
Multithanks!
I've just booked our summer holiday to Portugal, so I seriously need to budget now. I don't have any extra money for the holiday really as what my husband pays us only covers the day to day stuff (which is already a lot with 3 children, 3 cats, a dog and a large house to maintain), but luckily I have some savings. I really wanted to have a beach holiday this year as we had to miss our planned holiday to Portugal 2 years ago due to the huge issues with my daughter. I'm also painfully aware that my eldest is now 14 (15 this year) and will not want to go on holiday with us soon.
That said, I managed to order some polishes yesterday despite saying I wasn't going to. Anyone heard of Polished for Days? Wow, she makes gorgeous polishes! Also got a few things from Harlow & Co, hope they arrive without any problems.
I also picked up a few polishes in Superdrug and TKMaxx yesterday.
Looks like we are in a hot spot after all - we have only about -10C now. Not far from here, up north/east, they've have had around -30C today. After you spend some time in -30C, the -20C feels quite nice actually!
I can imagine the Puszta winds. We get breezes directly from Siberia! Do you often go back home?
Thanks! I think my np purchaces will be quite low from now on. As I said, I've been getting other things and fallen behind with one brand I've collected (also missed a few things that will be hard to get now), and just noticed today that they are putting out more stuff soon.
RC- that is so ridiculous! That censorship backfires in the end.
EP - you mean she puts $24 for three now?
Thanks!
Portugal sounds lovely! Hmm, my cousin's daughter lives there... I'm more of a town holiday person myself, not a sunbather.
Hey, they seem to work fine! People always ask me "don't the polishes dry up" (and "just how many do you have"), and I'm like what? I might be able to find out my oldest polishes if I search my email. Probably some CGs.
Thank you, PQ! I'm not sure if I'm a big fan of Cydonia Glimmer myself.
It's very pretty!
Oh, that RC exclusive Copper something is lovely! I also got one of those HK polishes, the blue one. Pretty Zoyas, love the orange.

What a lovely polish! Beautiful!
I like the coppery mani! I also want some of the OPI HK polishes, and I'm ashamed to say it's just for the HK bottles.
Before Christmas I went through my stash of makeup and nailpolish and through out a lot of the older stuff and gave them to the local refugee center, so I don't have any really old untrieds! I think my oldest ones are from 2014 and are Kiko polishes.
Super pretty manis! I just got my first YSL polish over the weekend, the new one from the Spring Collection, Green Peace. Looks a bit like EDM Copper Patina. Haven't tried it yet though.
I'm wearing a lot of my older favourite nailpolishes atm, and botching nail art attempts, lol! Also ripped off some nails, argh. Not a great year's beginning for polished nails!

Very cold here as well, it was -4 C at night. I know it's not very cold per se, but it is for the south of England. We even had a bit of snow on Sunday!
No, we don't go to Hungary very often at all. Last time we went was June 2014. We were going to go this summer, but I don't have a budget for two holidays, so I've decided not to. Never go in the winter now, I think we last went about 9 years ago. Too cold and my Mum's place is too small for 7 (or now only 6, but still). It's okay in the spring/summer, when you can go outside.
I'd love to do more city holidays, but with 3 children in tow it's not ideal. Would love to go to Iceland one day, and hoping to go back to Finland and Sweden soon too. A beach holiday however is much easier with children.
Yes, apparently EP put $24 for 3 polishes. It's still borderline and would worry me, but I might try it next time, especially if I have nothing else going to Stackry.
All my old polishes work fine, well, except maybe a handful, I did throw out a couple of dried in ones, and that Color Club faded massively, but 99% is still fine.
The Fun mani is gorgeous!

Ouch! Sorry about your nails!
Nothing to be ashamed about, HK is cute. I have some HK socks and both my daughters think I'm weird, lol. They used to love HK, but are obviously too cool for it now.
Thank you. Zoya does make some pretty polishes. Probably my favourite mainstream brand, also doesn't chip on me too quickly unlike CG.
Well done on donating some of your stuff! I donate clothes and toys all the time, but didn't think about np/mu.

I got School for Monsters, It Sucks to be Me, Not Wearing Underwear, Shadenfreude and The Internet Is For Pourn - was very tempted by Special and Mixtape, may go back at a later date!
I adore your Zoya mani, especially Channing - I only have one Zoya and I haven't worn it yet.
I didn't know about RC getting those exclusive FFs, I'm really sad I missed out on those. Was it another secret facebook group announcement?
