well now i can't wait! i just signed up for a second account too just for another ruffian polish too so i'm hoping there will be a few things that i wanted to try but didn't get in it.

Kawaii-

 I'm trying to make a trade list. Since you are a Supermoderator,(I'm imagining you have a cape and a cool mask), would you be able to PM me on how to do it??

I'm 98% certain they're just sending out the Hedge Fund, Delirium, and Fox Hunt

So I painted my nails w/ the Hedge Fund ....hours later one nail peeled completely off...and nope I did not have one of those special base coats...I had magic nail strengthener on them....so far it has only happened to one...and it DID NOT happen last week when I used magic and Julep.  womp womp

I don't wanna hear that!  I'm brutal to my nails and need them to last for a few days at least!  Even with the best quick drying top coats I just don't have time for tons of mani's a week!

booooo. i haven't used my polish yet. i'm waiting to do a job interview i have on friday before i do anything to my nails. this polish has high standards to meet for me given its price point.

 
I was about to place an order for some Amika from the BB "favorites" picks. I just hate to buy things from BB without a "pick two" or other little bonus item? Anybody else feel that way?? Those little extras spoiled me and I expect them every time!!

Did you use a rubberized base coat or wipe your nails off with alcohol before painting them? If I don't do this, any nail polish will just pop off like that for me!

wtffff, my color clubs have done that when i used a base or top coat (since they obviously weren't cc brand), so i just stopped using anything with them. when i do my nails with this polish with nothing else but the polish and see what happens.

Yeah, I placed an order earlier today and it kind of felt like, this is it? There was a GWP code (Jouer blush with any full size Jouer purchase) but the item didn't show in my cart after I used the code so I don't know if it worked. Hope they bring back the pick twos very soon!
 
I painted my nails with hedge fund last night - two coats each, no base coat and only a cheapy clear coat on top of my left hand (because I painted them late and didn't feel like waiting for the top coat to dry on my other hand, haha). No peeling, chipping, or flaking and the polish dried pretty quick. No complaints here so far! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
My BB arrived today. I received box #1, which included the following:

Ruffian Polish in Hedge Fund
Benefit Ultra Plush Lip Gloss
Sienna Naturals Baobab Oil
Le Couvent des Minimes Hand Cream
BCBG Bon Genre perfume vial
 
Alas, no golden ticket. I did receive a coupon for 30% off anything from the Customer Faves shop. I will probably use that since I have some BB points to use. For those that like visuals, pic is below.
 

Here are the contents of the box:

Still on the fence about keeping BB. I will see how Ispy fairs this month. But one of these two will be cancelled. Both have been more "miss" than "hit" for me and I can take that $10/$20 and put it towards another sub box, lol.

Happy BB'ing and hope everyone gets their boxes in a timely fashion!

I want to order something, but I'm waiting until the pick two mystery pack thing is back in the shop. I hope they come back kinda soon. I don't want to keep putting off buying the Beauty Protector Spray.

About sticky lip gloss: The absolute non-stickiest one I have ever tried is benefit Ultra Plush lip gloss in Dandelion. Seriously, I have stickier lip *balm*. I think it might be silicone-based instead of petroleum. ModelCo Party Proof lipstick is sticky and gummy compared to this stuff. it's just slick and smooth. I have to talk myself out of getting it in another shade every time I'm in Sephora.
Thank you for saying this! You made me feel way better (and more excited) about the Benefit gloss.

I have been looking into trading some items from my boxes but the more I read about trading/swapping the more confused I get.  Here are my main questions:

How do I make a trade list? 

Do I need to make a trade thread as well as a list?  (Are these the same thing?)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

And I am just waiting and waiting for the Discovery Dash for this month.....I'm hoping they will have something other than "Yes to Blueberry towelettes", since I received three of them this month. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
And we have a third ....and in the time it took me to post this i was able to pull the rest off  w/ no effort.  should have just stuck w/ painting them the julep color i originally took out....just so happens that while i was in nail paining mode my BB came in the m ail.

I've had that happen with other polishes and I started swiping a quick cotton ball with nail polish remover over my nails before I paint them (not to remove old polish but just one last swipe to take off any dirt, grease, etc.) and it has seemed to help. I also firmly believe that some people have different reactions to different polishes so it could just be that the formula doesn't work well on your nails. I will keep checking for peeling, though - that's the worst! (And when it happens to me it usually peels a good bit of my nail off, too).
