They are Tonics, but thank you, lol.
I will have to have them shipped in a week either way, I'm pretty sure they only store them for 60 days. My PPU order still hasn't shipped. Ugh.

So I broke that thumb nail
And my replacement mani is a disaster!
It's by a brand I don't know called CH and it's no 33 Magnetic.
I got it in a grab bag ages ago, i have a blue one too from the same bag. I was not impressed when they arrived...
Anyhow, I started to put it on and it was hellish gloopy, like it had been left open for a week. I threw 1/4 bottle of thinners at it, but it made no difference. And once I'd pasted it on I tried to use my Accessorize magnet, which I've also never used, and it did absolutely nothing - don't know if that's the stickiness of the polish, a rubbish magnet, or a cheap and nasty brand of polish...
But I didn't have time to change it, so here it is, warts and all!

I didn't think it looked quite as bad as it does in the picture, I should have made time! The odd thing is, I actually quite like the colour!
It's going on Sunday though.
Ugh, that's not great. Never heard of that brand. I'll only ever buy grab bags from a brand I know and like (PfD, Different Dimension). It's not a bad colour though, I see what you mean.

It was a long time ago, and I got it from Ninja back in the days when they were doing loads of indie brands. The grab bags I got were a disaster - broken polishes, products I had no use for, less stuff than they should have had, duplicates with what I already had... And they were about 3 months late in arriving too. That was pretty much the end of the shop and the brand, but the legacy lives on in my cabinets!

These are pretty! The second one is soooo shiny!!!
Did you buy Tonics last night? I was really tempted by Peacock Parade, I keep seeing people raving about it, but it was sold out when I looked - and to be honest, I couldn't have afforded it anyway, I'm pushing it buying Glams...

My PPU package has finally shipped! It was bloody Illyrian holding things up again! Hopefully it will arrive before Friday. I really want my things and would rather not have to pay $$$ for storage.

I did. I already have Peacock Parade, so just went for the other 5 (even though I'm sure i have dupes for them, just like I have for PP, it's not that special, just slightly more pigmented, so you don't need to use black under it), and 3 of the Valentines polishes, oh and Antarctica.
I also placed an order for several EdMs and PfDs from Hypnotic Polish that I probably shouldn't have. On the upside, I don't like any of the new Femme Fatales and I think I might skip the Glam launch again. Do you know which ones you're getting? I'm really only interested in 3 or 4 and the shipping cost is putting me off. Maybe if you buy the ones I like, I can swap you decants of Tonics, PfDs and Illyrians for them.

I'm skipping the Tonics. As much as I love multichromes, I feel like it's difficult to make them unique. Only so many variations can be created. I purchased the emerald green/turquoise combo and the chartreuse/turquoise combo just last fall from KBShimmer, for example.

I swear she's the slowest shipper in the world! (At least the polish world!) Glad it's moving at last.

PP sounds like a reasonable one for me to miss then, I'm sure I have many similar that don't need undies. There were a few I liked, but as I said, I'm seriously broke and have a load of unexpected expenses this month (inc huge dentist bill
)Glams, I'm definitely aiming for Half Witch Half Mortal, W.I.C.C.A., Mother of Demons and Let Water Wash The Hex Away.
I have an interest in The Path of Night, Book of the Beast and My Dark Baptism, but I'm not sure which if any I'll go for.
I just had a look at the PPU preview, and I want about 4 or 5 of those too, something's going to have to give!
And there's going to be new Illyrians soon, aargh!
If those are the Glams you want, I'm definitely up for a swap.

She is incredibly slow. Normally it's not an issue, but she's causing me a big delay and some fees. Ugh.

I like Mother of Demons, Let Water Wash the Hex Away, Book of the Beast and Greendale 13 (not on your list) the most, so if you get any of those, I'd love to swap for them.
Which PPUs do you want? I want to get the PfD, Illyrian, EdM, GLL, KBShimmer, Lolipop Posse and probably Colores de Carol, if you like any, we can include them in the swap too.
I saw the new Illyrians, we'll see what the swatches are like. I also wanted to from the last release, not sure when they're coming back.
I forgot to say that I've won one of the upcoming Girly Bits COTMs (she picked my name suggestion) and she offered to add the other one (I had to pay for that), both will ship free. Cool.

Yeah, I probably have dupes too, but I got sucked in by the pretty swatches. At least Tonics are still pretty easy to sell in the UK, they go for £10-12 or even more sometimes, so you don't really lose on them.

Cool! You've got a couple from my PPU list there.
Yay for winning a naming contest, and free shipping!

Well, just let me know if you want decants of anything. I might also buy the Savannah Lacquer and maybe the Pretty Beautiful Unlimited. Ugh, too many pretty polishes this month.

Pretty. I never got any of this collection, I kept thinking about buying them, but never pulled the trigger.

Posting a few of my recent manis, first up is Nails Inc Bow Street (2012 untried) with Enchanted Polish Stellar. Wasn't very impressed with either polish to be honest.
Next is Glam Polish You Are Who You Eat with Fair Maiden Flash Dance. I liked these two a lot.
This is Glam Polish A Land Without Magic with China Glaze Optical Illusion (2012 untried).

My list is getting long! I'd love to add the Illyrian and Lollipop Posse ones to it please. Then I'll skip the others from PPU - I'm thinking of trying for some Illyrians instead. No doubt I'll fail at the capped ones, but worth a shot!
I've been contemplating the Glams as well - if you definitely want a decant of Book of the Dead I'll try to get it, so let me know, definitely worth it for me to have something you'd like to swap for!
