This is nice, I don't think I have it.

This is stunning! Shame about the tipwear. I find that sometimes jelly polishes can shrink easily if you apply too many coats while wet or you put on the topcoat quickly. Sometimes it's just bad luck. Still very pretty though.

I have a few mani pictures to share. Finally getting around to it after a busy Christmas. Been playing board games almost constantly. Also managed to put away most of my used polishes (still have a few left) and sorted out some of my make up storage. Feel almost accomplished.
Do you feel a bit sad when you're looking through your polishes and find so many pretty ones that you haven't worn yet? And then realise that you probably won't live long enough to wear them all? Sorry to be a downer, lol. I do enjoy looking at them though.
Anyway... first up is ILNP Washing Ashore. One of my oldest ones from the brand. The handles have all gone horribly sticky (same with CbL, Zoya, etc.), but it's a nice polish.
Next is Femme Fatale Glass Coffin 2.0. This is a thermal. I totally forgot about my thermal polishes since I'd been using the older ones, but this winter I will try to wear a few before they stop working.
Obviously the last picture shows the warm state. My nails aren't really long enough for proper transition at the moment.
This is Polished by KPT Rouge-lette in Love with Ciate Serendipity on the accents. Not the best pictures, the KPT was actually really nice irl.
Next is Colors by Llarowe Rare Bear with EDK Lonely is the Night on the accents over the CbL.
This is Primark Cyber, just a basic silver holo. It was quite nice though.

A few more to go. First is Glam Polish Tiffany. I only have this one picture that I took with the cloakroom ticket at the company Christmas party, lol. I didn't have time to take another one. I was wearing a pair of pink toned red velvety trousers and a black sparkly jumper, so it matched well.
Next is Kathleen & Co. Candlelit with Nailed It Crushed Amethyst on the accents. This is actually the second time I wore the Kathleen & Co one, but it went really well with the Nailed It and I couldn't be bothered to look for another polish.
Finally this is CrowsToes Alcyone, another old polish. This was okay, but chipped really quickly.
I don't have pictures of my current mani, Darling Diva Catherine, sorry.

Yay, lovely pics! Hope you enjoyed your board games, I don't know where the time has gone at all, lots of phone calls I guess! Haven't even managed to unpack my suitcase from my trip... so I'm well impressed with your accomplishments!
I do feel the same way about my polishes, I so want to get to all of them sooon and I know it's impossible. I also wear so few these days, for some reason my manis last forever.
Washing Ashore is a beautiful colour, I loved it when it arrived but it's still untried.
Glass Coffin is also stunning, and the rest are really pretty too!

Love that K&Co/Nailed It mani, so pretty! Really like the Glam as well.
You have done very well to get these sorted out! One day I will get mine up to date...
Happy New Year to all!

Happy New Year Anne! Hope all is well.
I bought some PfDs from RC, but they haven't shipped yet. Eyeing up a good few from HHC, will try to keep it down to 4, or maybe 8.
Going to finalise the FF order this weekend, need to send Sophie an e-mail withthe order numbers I think.
Bit annoyed that Fiona still hasn't shipped the HHC polishes. I only have one from September, but I'd quite like to have it. Hope she gets round to it soon. I know we're all busy, but c'mon!
I don't really have any mani pictures to show, I think I've taken pictures of 2, but haven't cropped them yet. Will try to do them soon.

Yay for FF shipping soon!
That's a hefty shopping list for you these days - there are some beauties on HHC this month, I think I have 6 atm, down from about 10 at one point! Hoping for more swatches on a couple of them before I make a final choice. I have been waiting for my HHC deliveries since July shopping, it's a bloody long time
and also includes my VVs. I know she's got stuff going on though and I haven't actually had to deal with one yet but it feels way OTT to me.I've been trying to be more sensible with shopping, though I did buy the G&G birthday duo to add to my massive Stackry box yesterday. All of my shipments are now officially moving through USPS and I should be able to consolidate at the end of the week, hopefully without storage fees if all goes as planned. I've skipped two PPUs in a row and not purchased anything from Nailland as a result, though there have been a few I've been after; I've held them as a plan if next PPU is tempting me. RC owe me money for a lost shipment (she would not put in the RM claim because she was about to go on leave when I reported it, she's back tomorrow. She would not refund until RM pay her, though if I took store credit she would do it immediately. I declined so will email again tomorrow. It's put me off shopping with RC to be honest and I have held off. So annoyed about the lost shipment though, I loved those. Annette is also very secretive, she would not give me the tracking number!
I too still haven't done my mani pics, work is mega busy and I'm still dealing with constant calls from Scotland re mum (she may be going home end of next week! She's doing so well). January is one of my killer months, hopefully I can get back to normal levels in Feb.
Hope 2025 is all you would hope for.
Take care xxx

Emailed RC today and they issued an immediate refund, so at least that's sorted!

Anitacska
which HHC polishes you're thinking about and what PfDs you went for??? #nosey
My HHC basket currently has VV Enigmatic, PiPP The Truth Always Comes Out, Rogue Extract of Llama, Red Eyed Lacquer Warm Love, Phoenix The Voice and Pahlish Sailor Moon.
Some of those and loads of others have been in and out for days... Finally saw Rogue, PiPP and Pahlish swatched today and I really like them so they are definites now!
The VV is a bit of a grey/nude base for my taste but also my current favourite brand and really sparkly - swatches vary a lot, so undecided, REL has no swatches as it's a last-minute charity release so not sure, Phoenix I wasn't interested in at first but I saw some pics and was wowed, it's currently a yes!

Oh nice, I bought a lot of those on BF (not here yet!) and the pink new year one is on my radar for my next order! Happy to decant Rogue, which I do plan to buy. I forgot it was today! Usually don't do the early thing but check out when I get up, today I just remembered. None of mine are overpours though and all still in stock so I'm going to do a bit more thinking before I click! Sorry to hear you had a rough day yesterday, hope today is better x

Well I snoozed and lost on the VV (which I was finally going to buy, fate intervened!) but got the rest. Not as big an order as I first thought. The other one seriously close to getting checked out was the Sassy Sauce, I would definitely have got it if it wasn't for the early tipwear on the red one I wore before.

Sorry you missed out on one of the polishes. I managed to get the ones I wanted and also added an extra FF.

Yay, you got your overpours, awesome! Nice order, I actually really like all of them.
