Oo, some lovelies there! Really like them all!
I have a new mani, but I need to figure out how to get the pics off my new camera, they didn't send the cable with it! Watch this space...

I guess it depends on how many of each they had. Luckily I wasn't fussed about the protos, so I was able to just get that one capped polish I wanted. The no combining rule really sucks. But she is so slow fulfilling orders as it is, god knows how much longer it would take if she combined them.
Did you get charged much storage fee by Stackry in the end? I'm hoping everything will arrive on time before I have to empty out my box next month. I really don't want to keep using the box regularly, but I'm always tempted by new shiny things. Just ordered 3 from the Polish Con website on Friday...

Oh that's annoying! What use is a digital camera without a cable?!

I got my tiny little Femme Fatale group order last weekend. The lady who I used to pick up from has moved jobs and she actually lives quite far away, so I'll have to rethink these group buys as I'll be paying UK postage on top. Although she said she's likely to visit her old colleagues every so often, but chances are, that will fizzle out eventually.

Here are my latest manis. First is Lilypad Lacquer Nature Calling with Different Dimension Squarey Hexy. These are both some of my oldest polishes from their brands.
Next is Bear Pawlish Pocketful of Posies with Orly Cupcakes and Unicorns (2012 untried).
This is Blush Lacquers Not Your Average Seahorse, one of my first PPU purchases. It's gorgeous. Please ignore the messy paint job. Blush has very wide brushes and I was in a hurry to catch the sunshine, so didn't clean up before taking the pictures.
My current mani is Lilypad Lacquer Orion with Lollipop Posse Lacquer The Fool.

I guess you're right! Agreed on the slow shipping, she did cost me about $3 in storage fees in the end, so not horrendous. And in the end, my shipping from Stackry was less than I expected (and a lot less than I feared!), so a bit of good news. Yay, it's hard to resist new shiny things! Which ones did you get? The Illyrian obviously...?

Oh I know, then I tried to get them from the card - I was using the card from my old camera, but it was corrupted, so I couldn't access them - but I've put another card in, so I think I'll skip buying the cable separately.

Oh, that's a shame, I hate it when stuff like that happens. Those look nice, enjoy!

And finally, last week's mani! Illyrian Polish Winter Morning:
I lost the pics when it was fresh, but I took these this morning when some unexpected sunshine appeared! So there is tipwear, I can't really see it in the pics but it was there IRL. So now I've changed polish, pics later in the week!

That's good! Well, not the $3, but the shipping.
No, actually, I didn't order the Illyrian (it just didn't speak to me, I liked it, but not enough to order). I ordered the Tonic, Fair Maiden and KBShimmer.

Thanks. But I think you mean the Bear Pawlish? The bar glitter topper is Orly Cupcakes and Unicorns.

This is nice. I don't have this, is it an older one?

It's fairly old, it was a C4N exclusive duo from a couple of years ago (with Winter Twilight I think).

I forgot to ask, what do you think of the new Glams? I like 2 of the Anti-Valentines ones, nothing from the Winnie the Pooh ones. But even the 2 I like I feel like i have something very similar already.
There's also a big Femme Fatale collection coming out (22 prices and heroes inspired polishes), but luckily I only like 3 or 4.
Also this whole LE malarkey is really putting me off now. Both Glam and FF are doing very limited or one-off collections. Glam is even worse as they don't have stockists that will get the polishes later.

Thank you! I'm sick of winter now and we're not even halfway through. It was so depressing to have to get up at 7 and it was still dark.
*chuckle* ~ I just happened upon this thread this morning. I was so feeling this way this morning...especially after my sunny warm vacation earlier this month
I also wanted to compliment you on your manis...inspiring and very pretty! I have been so lazy about my nails for the past couple of years...Last month, I completely decluttered my oversize, super under used, nail lacquer collection. It was long overdue...So I am down to just a few shades. Less overwhelming. And I am hoping will get me inspired to take that little bit of "me" time, to dress up my nails, now and again.

Not taken with the WtP Glams at all - nothing for me there! The Anti-Valentine collection, I picked out the three strongly coloured ones, though I agree they're probably similar to things I already have. And two of them are pink, which puts me off a little (I don't wear a lot of pink, and I never love them on as much as I like them in the bottle!). However, I do have a voucher! So I will have a go to see if I can get them, and a couple of previous ones I skipped maybe. We'll see! I agree about the limited availability, it pressures a "buy it now" mentality I don't like. And I'm not sure how the UK Glam store is going to go in future - they don't want to be stuck with unwanted stock, but I thought that was the point of sales! Plus they don't often have all the sale offers the main site has. Bit disappointing, but I guess we'll see how it goes. I kind of like the option to add some cheap ones and some I've skipped when new things I want come out.
