Pictures!

This was a mani I did awhile ago using Fickle Fairy Angel Eyes and The Polish Bar's Jingle Stars:

And this is a crappy phone picture with the bottle & swatch stick under an LED desk light:

It's definitely holo and definitely blue! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> On my screen, the bottle/swatch stick shot came out a little lighter than it is in real life. 

On a somewhat related note, adding pictures is not nearly as intuitive on the new site!

SQUEAL!!!  It's perfect.  Thanks for posting those!  Now I can't wait.

I start Ipsy in May which is cool but I want one that's just nail related and runs about $10.  Any ideas?  [i just got my boyfriend Loot Crate which is $20 so I told him I get to spend $20 also.  (which in itself is funny because I buy polish all the time in excess of more than $20 but I want to be guaranteed that I will get something so I can "budget" it in!!)

This is hilarious! I also just started Ipsy and am doing Nailette which is $10 a month. Out of guilt I got the BF April's loot crate because it was even lol

He Loved his Loot Crate though! Wish I could have said I felt the same about Nailette =/

So Glitter Daze is back with a new subscription box.  Now it's a full size LE polish just for that box with special artwork.  It also will include a special gift and it's $15 shipped.  They are offering a trial one for May on a one time basis to see if people like it.  Sign up by 05/10 to get it ships on the 15th.  Check out their FB or website for more info. 

I subbed to Rainbow Honey which I think is a better fit for me.  This sounds interesting.  I know before they had a bunch of different "levels" and they said it was getting too hard to keep up with.

Today's nail mail from Gothic Gala Lacquers. This is three separate orders (oh my!). The first 6 were polishes from her line. The last 4 were 2 different mystery bags.

Ahhhh, exciting!!!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> As awesome as her holos looked (I've never tried them), I hope she still does some of her glitters, too!

Edited to add: Also, where did you see the news? Does she have a Facebook/Instagram/some sort of other social media up again?

Yes here is the FB link.  It's a funny story actually.  I was trying to find the OPI Glitter Off base coat and none of the stores I called even knew what I was talking about.  I was so annoyed I went to go buy the Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter-a-peel ( which there was one left.)  I decided to hold off since I am going to Ulta this Saturday and when I looked at my cart to remove it I saw it said I had 2 items.  I clicked on the cart and there was a link to the full size Invader Zim polish I never got from Hit Polish because she sold out.  I saw it still had a link to her Etsy page so out of pure nostalgia I clicked it to find it was a "opening back up" message!!

She said her hubby did so well with the business she has free time again and will be redoing in a more manageable way with less polishes.  I don't blame her.  She apparently sold off almost EVERYTHING and has to start from scratch (including recipes!!)  I am so excited to have her back.  The swatches on FB look freaking amazing!!!  Looks like she's getting into the color shifting polishes too.  (isn't that like the "IT" indie trend???)  She's got some glitter crellies that looks to die for too.  Maybe I am just partial because I own so many of her polishes and I feel like she's one of the reasons I am so into indies!

Yes here is the FB link.

Hooray, thank you for sharing! I just saw that she's doing a reformulated Pennies from Heaven!!! I ordered it from her last restock, but there was a problem and I got refunded for that polish and it's been a lemming of mine ever since.

OMG that's right!  I totally tried to find a replacement and never did!!  How exciting!!  I am all over Wishing Well and Thinking With Portals. Not to mention her holos I mean.. YES PLEASE!!

Hi all! I'm brand-new to the whole indie polish world, but I've been catching up fast... got a lovely coat of My Ten Friends Dirtball on right now, and have a few more bottles en route! I'm really hoping you guys will be able to point me in the direction of any good spots (other than here) for indie polish swaps, because I stumbled across a polish that I MUST HAVE, but the seller is closing up shop and doesn't have any more! I simply must have the Happy Hands polish There's Always Money in the Banana Stand!!! I love yellow polishes anyway, and this one is just so different and PERFECT for me. Just my luck. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yes Happy Hands is no more. I saw the Banana one somewhere and almost bought it myself. I see most of the indie destash sales just by following a ton of bloggers on Facebook.

Anyone ever order from Fandom Cosmetics before?  I ordered some Batman nail decals for a gift exchange on 04/25 and my order is still in "awaiting fulfillment".  I found them with this search and was looking to buy some polishes (World of Warcraft warlock themed OMG yes!!) but this makes a little apprehensive.  I suppose it's really only been a week or whatever.  My order from Nail Art Society is having the same issue.  Thankfully the girl who I bought for is a sweetheart and is just excited to get stuff.  I ended up spending way more than the allotted amount because I wanted her to actually get something in hand by the due date so I ordered a bunch of stuff from Dillards department store.

I totally know better than to try and shop for the morning Llarowe restock but here I am refreshing like a madman!  I even got ahead early in queue but forgot about it on account of I am working.... phooey.  I want the Dance Legend texture top coat more than anything in this entire world (at the moment).

and it's out of stock... booo.  I will try again tonight

Missed it again.. so I ordered the flakie one that looks like Nfu oh 51 instead.
