Here's the free polish you get.  I am actually pretty excited about that!!  I couldn't decide between full size and minis of the holos but I settled on full sized in Scottland the Brave, Raspberry Fizz and Radiant Orchid.  I will probably end up with all the holos in at least mini size by the time she does the line up change in August.

I am going to have to bookmark this and order after we move in June. I have to have one of the Polish Pets...they are just too damn cute.

And a mystery bag?? Yes, please!!
Aren't they too cute. You can have her make a custom one too.

I want a mystery bag and 2 polish pets....then, I will have an excuse as to why my nail polish collection seems to be breeding at such an alarming rate.

Made my Hit Polish purchase!  I got Graphite and Aqua Opaline in full size and minis of Sun Spark, Aquamarine, and Tropical Escape.

I decided against the LEs because they just weren't calling to me and at $10/ea, I'm okay with that.

 
@@Christa W I watched your stamping video and really appreciate you showing so many awesome tips and shortcuts!   Have you tried Mentality's stamping polish?  I tried it with my orly liquid vinyl and my OPI black onyx and they just didn't transfer well.  *sigh*  

I'm looking at Mentality's site now and wondering if I should try it out.  As a stamping noob, it seems that would be a good idea to start with polishes specifically formulated for stamping.

Thoughts?

Believe it or not, I only own 1 Mentality polish.  I totally should own more.  It's a "stamping grade" polish but it's a duo holo so I have used it for stamping once but it's not a color I would use regularly.  I do love their polishes and I think for the price they are a good option to try.  Domestic shipping is free and the price is very comparable to other polishes.

You don't have to necessarily use polish specifically for stamping but it certainly won't hurt you if you do.  As long as you use a thicker polish you are fine.  I prefer Kleancolor Black as my go to stamping black.  For white I use a few different once that have all thickened slightly but I did just buy my first Konad polish too in white and it's pretty awesome.  Other than that I use primarily Sally Hansen Insta-Dri's because they are thick.  Any polish that's opaque in one coat does work.  I recommend trying different polishes on different plates too.  Sometimes what won't work for say more open designs may work fine on something detailed.

Same here.  When I first saw them I was all over it but then decided I would hold off.  That's not to say if they aren't still there in a week I won't get them LOL!  I have Pewter Goblet from before which is similar to what Graphite is and I love it!!! 

I can't wait to see everyone's hauls!!

Was it just me or did this batch seem kinda phoned in?  I'm really looking forward when she gets back into her groove.  Egyptian Goddess and Sunset Over Sedona are two of the most beautiful polishes I've ever owned and I'm hoping she gets back into a place where she's producing stuff like those that's super original.

 
So I've posted a brand on here before Laquerlicious that I pretty much freaking LOVE and my wonderful boyfriend gave me some cash to play with this week for polish since my budget didn't allow for much I may have gone a little crazy in her store.  I will be posting some haul pics later but I HAD to show you this macro for these three neon glitters she just released.

Are you freaking kidding me!!  How amazing are those??  If done right they can be fully opaque but they can also just be a topper.  They have way more sparkle in them than is showing up but I am in love.

Yeah I am just like whatever about all the colors.  All of them.  So I also am hoping she'll pull it together.

That said, my standards for buying a polish are very high at this point since I have soooooo many.

I feel very loyal to her and I do love her holo polishes.  She told me she's trying to do this as a "hobby" for now and trying not to go so crazy.. going to be interesting for sure.  Part of why I own so many of hers is minis and sales....without those I don't know that I would have as many as I do.  I hope she can find her groove.  I would hate to see her close up again but there's SO much more competition than there was when she closed up 6 months ago or whatever. 

 
Oh I REALLY like her past polishes don't get me wrong- love the formula and some of the ones I have are among my faves that I own, but these just don't tempt me.  I also really hope she'll find her groove, but I think it's also partly for me that, like you said, there is more competition all the time, and a lot of that competition currently has way more exciting, unique, and frankly fun colors at least IMO. I will def be keeping an eye on her though and ready to snap stuff up if she does turn it around.  Did not mean to bash, just my honest feeling.
