Thank you!
I think the trick with Oceanic Forces is to use it over a similar colour. I only did 2 coats over the Nails Inc and it worked well. It wasn't bumpy at all.

I really like March and April too, but can't be bothered to hunt them down. There were a few from last year I liked too, but just couldn't be bothered with buying off people. Not that I've seen many for sale, I think the amount of people buying them must be very small, most comments I see in the groups is that people don't want to pay all this money for mysteries. I haven't even bought non mysteries from her in ages!

Ooh, I quite like the new Glam collection, the first one in ages to really catch my eye! I'm thinking I'll probably place an order this time, planning on getting the purples, one (or both?) pinks, the teal and *maybe* the blue one.
Anne, could you please give me your list of recent Glam purchases? I'm having trouble remembering now what polishes you bought that I was interested in. My last order was from November 2018 and I got these 6, so pretty much anything after these would be great. I want to see if there's anything left that I wanted, but you didn't get, so I can add them to my order. Thanks.
I got these last time:

Few more mani pictures. First up is Ozotic 531 (2012 untried) with Blush Lacquers Frosted Foliage (over black).
Next is Zoya Meg (2012 untried) with Glam Polish Patty O'Green.
This one is Urban Decay Fishnet (2012 untried) with Enchanted Polish Flamingo Freckles. The UD was supposed to be purple, it has obviously faded, but weirdly it's also really different from the colour in the bottle. It looks like a bright magenta, but then applies much more reddish. Very odd.
Last one is Primark Blue with Zoya Feifei, both 2012 untrieds.

Some nice colours there! Oddly, I think my fave is the UD with the unexpected colour!

Thank you. I will have a look through my list and see if there's anything left that I want to order. If you're interested in any of the new ones, let me know. I haven't decided how many I want, but will probably get 5 or so. The two purples and the teal one are the definites right now.
Just looking through the lists, which one is Me Party!? Can't find swatches online.

I was second time lucky with EP Icelandic Sky (the first one I bought went missing thanks to the Royal Fail), bought it in a destash and it came the other day. I have to say I'm a bit underwhelmed and quite happy I didn't fork out $16 plus shipping for it.
Here are a few recent manis, first is Glam Polish Hat Trick with Hits Phenomena Air Glow (2012 untried). The Glam was amazing for a multichrome, almost a one coater (did 2 for good measures).
Next up is China Glaze Tempest (2012 untried) with Pahlish Glowing Medusa.
This is Topshop Mermaid (2012 untried) with Tonic Polish Mr. Bingle. I really like the Tonic, it's such a cool and unique polish.
Last one is Sally Hansen Pink Pearl with Illyrian Moonbow (over black). I made a mistake and didn't tick the Sally Hansen off as used, so it turns out I already wore it about 2 years ago as part of my 2011 untried challenge. Quite annoying as it's not even that nice. Not 100% sure about the Illyrian either, it was okay, but a bit underwhelming.

Sorry to hear you're not thrilled with the EP, I didn't expect it to be so...green!
Nice manis, I love Glowing Medusa, very nice indeed. I do like the Sally Hansen at the end, even if it is a second go at it! Moonbow's not looking that special though, I totally agree. I didn't buy that one apparently, so yay me! I did however buy most of last night's prototypes. Unbelievably, there are more new colours coming next Friday again, these $18 shipping charges are mounting up, why she can't do them all at once I've no idea. Did you go for Glams?

Thank you!
I was wondering if you bought any Illyrians! I did too, got Circus and 3 of the prototypes: Sunkiss, Exoplanet and Mist. I agree, all these new releases are ridiculous. Even US shipping is $5 if you don't hit the free shipping threshold which is difficult with all these smaller frequent releases. I thought about not ordering, but you never know what will come back and I did like the ones I bought. The flakie ones were looking a bit samey to me.
I was going to ask if you had War Stars and Narrow Sea? They're both coming back to PPU/Illyrian shop and I quite like them, but I passed on them before and I'm still not 100% sure if I should get them.
I did buy some Glams, I ordered Shell We Dance?, Under My Spell, One Jem Too Many, Rio, Midsummer Night's Madness. Shipping is really putting me off though, I don't like having to pay $11.60 for 5 polishes. I did get a $5 refund as she had a discount going for orders over $50, so that's good at least.
There is a new Hypnotic exclusive EP coming out that I actually like. Not sure if I'll buy it, maybe if I'm ordering from Hypnotic anyway, but i'm not planning to anytime soon.

I didn't purchase a few polishes in the hopes of buying them during the following releases to save on shipping, but of course they sold out a day before the next release. These brands are losing money by doing it this way b/c then I'm annoyed and don't purchase anything in the end.

Which brands?

The last two were Pahlish and Don Deeva. That's why I really appreciate the way Tonic and PFD run their shops. Easier to reach free shipping and easier to get their polishes overall.

I have War Stars but not Narrow Sea - WS is a very pretty sparkly red/pink glitter. I don't get the hype about Narrow Sea, I always think it looks a bit murky - can't really get a good idea of what it actually is!
Well done on the Glams, a discount does always help.
I'm not bothered about the EP, it's OK but I wouldn't buy it.

Completely agree, and when it's international shipping it's just stupid costs. They're losing a few bucks from me for sure.

Funnily enough Pahlish is one I've done the same with - the releases have just a couple I want, and it's just too expensive to ship them alone. Then they're gone when the next release comes along. I do have hopes she might bring loads back for Black Friday this year, it's probably the first year I've skipped this many.

My latest manis:
Illyrian Polish Charybdis - I adore this!
Esmaltes da Kelly Mother Gothel. This is hideous without topcoat, and a bit of a pig to apply, but 2 coats of HK Girl and it comes alive!
Nails Inc Tate - a very nice red, but soooo boring!!!
