Hmmm... Any idea if it was on an etsy shop or in a custom shop? That might help narrow it down a bit. The first brand that comes to mind with a huge color selection and all one word names is Mentality (they have a few on etsy; most polishes are up on their big cartel site).  I like challenges like this; I'm always determined to find an answer. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

And Jeanette. Let's not forget Mentality has a polish named Jeanette. Which just happens to be my name. And Mentality even spells it correctly. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Ooh, I just thought to check Literary Lacquers, since I like her holos, too... check out "The Ultimate Outlaw" for another blue holo!

Ohhhh @Christa W.... I think this month's Pretty & Polished box is calling your name. The blog From Polish, With Love has the review/sneak peek up with swatches!

A milky crelly with all sorts of fun glitter and a blue holo! The blue holo may not be as strong as what you were looking for, though.


Ahh, I <3 the holo but I don't know how I feel about the large crelly - it's a lot of fun, but not my usual style. To save my low-buy budget for something else or buy the box... that is the question.

Gahhh!  That is me! If it had been any other time when money was no issue I'd be all over it. Just worried $22 plus shipping is over my budget.. But it's til the end of the month right?  I will have to see.  I guess overall for value purposes it's a great deal and I think I would love them all.  So torn!!!

Shipping is included, at least, so it's $22. They go through the end of the month or until sold out. The first month sold out in a few days, but I don't think they sold out at all last month, so there should be time! Not spending money you can't spend is always a good idea, though!

With shipping might change it for me!  I will have to see what I have extra on Friday.  I have some time to decide.  I may pass just because I shouldn't be getting any more polish unless it's a MUST like my OPI sheer tints.  I can make a blue holo using my Mentality top coat.  I just want one really bad for some reason.  Must.  Save.  Money.  My sweetie just bought me the Lego Hobbit game for PS3 last night.  I really shouldn't annoy him with any more polish hoarding!!!  I am a lucky girl with as much as I have already.  Plus I signed up for a Reddit polish exchange. 

I am seriously conflicted!!

Here is my 365 days of color grab bag. I like what I got, and it came in a really cute little bag.

Man that was is stunning too.  I remember someone looking for a Hit Polish holo dupe and someone suggested Literary Lacquers.  If it's a similar formula I am sold.  I will wait til payday and see what I have.  I am actually thinking I might have to shrink the polish budget even further than I was hoping for so only one polish might be in order.  But it's only for 2 weeks.  I can go that long without buying something right???

In the meantime I threw on Zoya Dream! 

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone.  (Now back to Lego Hobbiting)

My Black Sheep Lacquer box came today! I'm quite pleased with it!

Spoiler

First of all, the bag itself was absolutely adorable.



I got Vampire Girl, an unnamed mini, and Lemon Drop:


Lemon Drop is a great yellow crelly with round white and hex-shaped purple, pink, and white glitters. I must admit, yellow polishes are growing on me! This is 2 thin coats:



So in love with this periwinkle colored mini with gold glitters; I've been looking at buying polishes similar to this, so this is perfect! This is one thick coat:


Last but not least is Vampire Girl, which is a dark red to hot pink(ish? it's a very red pink) thermal with some scattered holo shimmer. It reminds me of Pretty & Polished's Good Vibrations, but I think the P&P changes to a lighter pink color and leans a little more brown in the dark state (and doesn't have the gorgeous shimmer that this one does)!

Has anyone seen the new glitter polish swatches LoveAngelinePolish is posting on Instagram? OMG. Fantastic! Too bad I'm quitting my horrible job next week and I'm now on a no-buy for the foreseeable future. I have an interview on Monday and some other prospects, so I'm not to worried yet.

I got the same ones as you. Even though yellow polishes aren't my favorite, this one looks interesting. I'll give it a shot.
