Thanks for the welcome! Favourite nail polish brand is a tricky one - I love so many. Possibly China Glaze, they were the first brand I fell in love with. How about you? My favourite colour polish is green!

Wow, great haul jennyap, looks like you chose some gorgeous colours! I took part in that sale too - snagged Dragon, St George and Tess D'Ubervilles 
They haven't arrived yet but I'm in New Zealand, so it's a long way for the pretty polish to travel!

Fantastic that you got your goodies so quickly jennyap! Nice haul.
I received my AE shipping notification on the 16th (my Illamasquas were shipped a day before) but I doubt I'll get my hands on them any time soon. The post is painfully slow these days - a whole bunch of things I ordered ages ago still haven't shown up. One of them was shipped on 25 Dec, FFS!
. I hope it's simply a matter of posties choosing to stay at home instead of delivering stuff in this freezing weather.

You never know. I just checked the package mine came in, and although I got my shipping notification within the last 24 hours, they were actually posted on the 14th, so yours could have gone out earlier than the 16thFantastic that you got your goodies so quickly jennyap! Nice haul.

I'm not really bothered about my AE order at this point. It's the other stuff that I'm worried about. I hope they arrive next week otherwise I'm really going to get paranoid.

Okay, but don't judge. I did this on a whim and the pic isn't that great because you can see light reflecting in some of the nails. I was so excited that I snapped it as soon as they were dry enough, paying very little attention to photographic technique and detail. Here goes

Good point!!! LOL Pun intended!!Toothpicks make the most awesome dotting tools EVAH! Partly because most proper dotting tools are too big for my ickle nails and partly because you don't have to clean them

So does that mean this is just a phase and I'll get over it???I think we've all been there
I went through a disastrous, and thankfully short, episode of stamping. Good thing I never splashed out on the Konad stuff

OMG. Cartoon Chic has met her match. She loves green NP too and her NP collection is massive. You'll meet her soon. She's pretty special!!!

Oh so pretty! I initially thought you were wearing Chanel's Malice. I love your A Englands...they look so regal.I had a good NP day today
First, I ordered some of the nail sticks someone posted about here, and they arrived earlier in the week, so today I set to swatching all my polishes. I'll share a pic of the full collection tomorrow when I have daylight! Things I discovered - considering how rarely I do (or am likely to do) a French manicure, I have way too many French polishes. Need to thin those out a bit. Nudes generally are my biggest category in fact, which is weird 'cos they're what I wear least. Also, I have barely any cream polishes - almost everything is shimmery. Not a single proper coral in my collection, and I have surprisingly few purples or blues either.
Second, I got my A England shipping notice this morning (actually arrived in my inbox at about midnight) which made me happy, I was even happier when the polishes themselves turned up
Here's my haul:
L-R: Tess D'Urbervilles, Saint George, Tristam
Princess Sabra, Excalibur, Bridal Veil
I was most excited for Saint George and in the flesh - having swatched all these instantly of course - it is insanely gorgeous. As is Tristam, and the holo in Princess Sabra is amazing. I can't wait to wear these. I discovered that I have a near-identical dupe for Excalibur already - L'Oreal Chrome Shine 342, which I'm pretty sure has been discontinued for years LOL. When swatching, Saint George even seemed like it will be a proper one-coater. I am instantly in love with this brand, and I went straight back to the site to place another order! I now have Holy Grail (limited edition version) and Dragon on their way to me. More will follow for sure! I was also surprised to discover that they're based right around the corner from where I worked for 5 years, nothing like supporting local companies
This is what I've had on my nails this week:
Estee Lauder Dressed to Kill. I love the colour, but I do find the formula a touch thick/difficult to work with so this isn't my neatest mani ever - don't look too closely! It's coming off tomorrow - I'm serving on a jury for the next couple of weeks, so time to get conservative and crack out some of those nudes.
I'm waiting for my AE order, and I'm being unusually patient about it---perhaps because I've been getting other orders. Seeing your AE haul has me now longing for them .

I'm pretty sure there weren't enough Dragons left for other people by the time we were done with our ordersI think we all ordered around the same time and if I'm not mistaken, we all ordered Dragon too!
