Darling Diva Royale with Polished for Days Kayi

My current mani is Illyrian Polish Unicorn Spell with Fair Maiden Hemera. I really love this one. The Illyrian had been on my list to wear for a while, it's so pretty, and so is the Fair Maiden.

I've been really good, haven't bought anything lately. I have a good few polishes at Stackry and 12 Femme Fatales as part of the UK group buy, but those won't be here until next week. My credit card balance is humongous this month with my daughter's birthday, start of school and other necessary purchases (and my washing machine needed fixing).

Some pretty colours there, I love Unicorn Spell!

Well done on restraining the polish shopping - are you going for the Glam Halloweens again? I've been drooling over the swatches, I think I might need some... my Glam addiction is out of control!

My new mani is Native War Paints - I Will Be There For You:

 

[Anitacska]

I ordered about a dozen of them a couple of years ago, this is the second one I've worn! I don't recall the same tipwear with the other one, but it was a while ago. I'd go nuts if I had chipping after two days!!!

That's the norm for me unfortunately. Some polishes last better, but most start chipping on day 2. Must be my nails / body chemistry. Oh well, at least that encourages me to use my polishes, I have about 3,500 untrieds to get through!

Are you in the Illyrian fan group? She's just released 3 group exclusives and one is an almost dupe for Unicorn Spell if you're interested. Looks very pretty. And yes, I have ordered it.

I like the look of some of the Glams, but to be honest I haven't even used ANY of the last year's Horror Shop release polishes. But there are a few I'd like and also 3 of the Polish Con ones (if they'll be available from the shop after PC) and 5 of the Beetlejuice ones. So I'll try to be good.

Once again been spending a lot of money elsewhere, my eldest son and my daughter both wanted to go to some concerts coming up in the next few months, so I've spent a lot on tickets and also a couple of meet and greet packages. I've lost count now how much I've spent, but it's near £500 I reckon. So not much (any?) left for polish again.

It's pretty. I don't have this one.

 

[Anitacska]

Although I haven't bought anything for 3 weeks, I have received two lots of polishes this week, one from the bi-monthly FF group buy and the other from Stackry.



Actually, I did buy something. I got these holo polishes from Kiko the other day.



There were 3 other ones, silver, gold and dark grey.

Mani pictures to follow in a bit.

My most recent manis. First one is Femme Fatale Perdita with Femme Fatale Fairyduster



Next is Native War Paints Gum Would Be Perfection with Girly Bits Ooh La La!

Sadly I'm not in the Illyrian group, but I don't have spare cash to buy anyway if I'm getting Glams. I did succumb to the C4N 30% discount last night and bought a few Illyrians, couple of Tonics and an EdM, so I've been naughty!
Argh, don't you hate it when you can't buy everything???

Lovely additions to your collection there - yet again, the Illyrians stand out, hope my newbies are that nice!

These are all really sweet too - the Girly Bits stands out to me. I think the only one I own is Entrance, which I loved when I wore it, looks great on you too.

Yeah, I ended up buying from C4N too. But 30% was too good to leave. I ended up getting 10 polishes. Oops.

Thank you! Which Illyrians did you order? I've not been disappointed in Illyrian lately. Some of the older ones I have are a bit hit and miss, but these new ones are amazing.

I know, 30% was too good to miss! I wanted Tonic's Toxic too, but it was sold out while I was thinking about it. The Illyrians are:

Illyrian Polish Butterflies
Illyrian Polish Enigma (August COTM)
Illyrian Polish Hex
Illyrian Polish Prototype #35

I could have got so many more, but I trimmed loads because... Glams next week!

I received Prototype 35 and Enigma last week. Here's a pic. I don't have the other two.

 

[Anitacska]

I'm going to skip the Glams altogether this month. I've spend far too much on polishes again, as well as the 10 from C4N I also got 9 Tonics last night, plus 3 from Glitter Daze and 3 from Illyrian earlier this week. So I simply don't have any money left for Glams. Also the Halloween Horror Shop ones just look a bit too samey to me. I would've liked 3 from the Polish Con leftovers and 5 Bettlejuices, but I might be able to order the latter next month anyway. I still want the Indie Galactic box (gorgeous Tonic in it), the new FTLOP box and a couple of new FFs from the October release. And I have a feeling EP will release the mysteries soon. So no Glams.

 

[Anitacska]

In case you haven't got the e-mail, Enchanted restock on Sunday!




Looks like the new monthlies aren't launching (thankfully, for my wallet), but there may be (will be) new surprise colours. I hope I manage to not panic buy and only order if I really like them.

I'm sitting out the Glam restock as we speak....

 

[Anitacska]

Anne, texted you earlier, not sure if it's gone through. Someone in one of my Facebook groups is selling EP Moon Water for £10 plus pp. If you like, I can buy it for you! (She also has Gummy Worm for £10 if you're interested.) Let me know!

 

[Anitacska]

Well that was an easy pass. The new colours are all dull. Just as well, I didn't have any money to spend on EPs anyway.

Thanks for the pic, these are gorgeous! Wish I'd got the first one too (C4N didn't have it)

Nice choices, I'd have gone for loads of them too, but I got my Glams instead - got all I wanted this year.
I love the PfD box, but I've spent too much this month already.

 

[PearlyQueen]

Well that was an easy pass. The new colours are all dull. Just as well, I didn't have any money to spend on EPs anyway.

I wasn't impressed either, one was OK but not good enough to buy on its own. Good news really, money saved!

Agreed!

 

[Anitacska]

No, I got those directly from Illyrian and I'm pretty sure that one sold out quickly.

Thanks. The C4N order finally came today.

Well done for getting all the Glams you wanted. I've stayed away from the site and the UK Facebook group, didn't want to be tempted at all. In the end there was one of the horror shop ones that I really liked and I can live without it. I have nearly 400 Glams now and most of them untried. I just can't keep up with her releases anymore when I also want loads from Illyrian, Tonic and Polished for Days.

I wasn't impressed either, one was OK but not good enough to buy on its own. Good news really, money saved!

Apparently the new colours won't be restocked with the exception of possibly 2, but I really don't care at all. I'll buy the remaining monthlies and then stop buying those as well. Still hoping for Ocean Potion and something very close to December 2012 to make a comeback.
