Sorry, I don't mean to brag or make anyone feel down if you weren't successful, ladies. I'm just so excited because it's literally a dream come true for me. LOL I've never gotten this emotional about nail polish before and I get very emotional about nail polish. I can't wait to try these polishes!

A suggestion for the future: I saved all of these to my WL on the site and just waited for the one page to reload. Then I added them all to my cart that way. I had 6 in my WL I wanted, and only three were successful, but I think I was a little luckier than most.

oooonnnn the other hand someone totally witched me out on Facebook for succeeding haha (I was just thanking Leah Ann for her hard work because there were just so many whiners). I gave as good as I got /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> which by now you all would know... XD;;

Congrats!

Quote: We do have [Enchanted] polish left over that was to be used for the 2nd launch this evening which has now been cancelled. This polish will be added to the site, unannounced, over the next several days in batches.

Unfortunately that's good for us because it means that we won't be fighting with thousands of people are the same time for the same polish. It's also better for her site maintenance and bandwidth. It's unfortunately bad for us because we'd have to keep an eye on it at all times! XD

Whatever product Chelsea has, it's a winner. I feel bad for all the resellers though because they get the brunt of the anger when customers can't get ahold of a polish....

If you're going to try for an EP, good luck! LOL I'm sitting the rest of this out, at least for now.


You left out the first part of the announcement, which is that Llarowe will no longer carry EP once all stock has depleted. I don't blame Leah Ann one bit for making this decision. I can't imagine the nasty crap people spew towards her and Emily via pm when they can't their precious Enchanted.

Quote: Llarowe It has been our pleasure to work with Chelsea over the past year and watch her brand grow into what it is today. However, we have to recognize when supply and demand issues cause such frustration that they overtake the joy of purchasing polish. We have never wanted to cause our customers undue stress with launches, but unfortunately, the mounting displeasure of everyone not being able to get the polishes they would like, due to the lack of supply, has brought us to the decision not to carry the Enchanted Polish brand. We would like to thank you all again for your patronage and support.

She just made the decision earlier today after the restock. I'm pretty sure she finally got tired of being vilified by people that were unable to get the polishes they wanted and took their frustration out on her. I also get the feeling that, despite her expectations, the new website can't handle the clusterf@%k that every EP restock becomes. She has made a couple of other announcements since the EP one that led me to that conclusion.

We will be taking pre-orders for select Colors by llarowe this Saturday. Please check our website blog for more details tomorrow.

I have a feeling the preorder will be for the new Michael Jackson Collection polishes that she just released. Some of the colors are already quite in demand and she might be trying to avoid another scenario like today.

People are crazy sometimes. I LOVE NAIL POLISH! I'm obsessed, and I still can't imagine ever being mean about it. They want the quality and creativity of a hand-mixed polish, but the availability of Coca Cola.

I should be in bed at 4 AM not ordering nail polish.  I have a thing for milky glitters and ordered Carebear Stare from Lacquer Lust. 

 

[Christa W]

So I just discovered something super cool.  I just bought a black light for the first time ever.  On my toes I still have on Totally Tubular by KB Shimmer and I looked down and my toes were glowing baby blue with the glitter now appearing darker than the polish and looking almost the speckled polishes.  I apologize if you all knew it glowed under black light but that just upped the awesome factor for me.  What's Your Damage glowed but only the glitters in the bottle and my swatch which was in itself super neat too.  I am so in love with these polishes.

I just recently bought a lot of KB Shimmer polishes, including Totally Tubular, and now I'm excited to check to see if they glow in black light!  Thanks for posting this, Christa!

Llarowe just restocked Crows Toes.  I now have Bone Daddy coming to me!  I love the look of that polish and can't wait to see it in person.

Looks like ice cream sprinkles love it.

Has anyone purchased the Dance Legend thermos yet?  I am dying to try them and was curious if anyone had any thoughts.

(not sure if this is considered Indie I apologize if it isn't)

I really want to try em too

I think Dance Legend is a russian company so they're pretty hard to get ahold of in the US...so it counts! lol

I saw some amazing duochromes by them on a russian blog. I haven't seen any US etailer carry them yet...

I ordered a bunch of polishes from Sweet Tip Nails that she was clearing out (so sad she's closing), and they should arrive next week. Very excited. She does have a few bottles left for anyone who's interested.

 

[honeybee7]

Oooooh dang, those are pretty!!!

 

[Christa W]

Someone stop me please!  Just ordered the Green Bay Packers mini from Hit Polish!  I have actually been searching for one since bought a Green/Gold (I mean really gold) from Sinful Colors back when they had round stumpy bottles in the mid 90's.

AAAGH, Christa and Kyuu, you got me!  I had never heard of Dance Legends before, but these pictures are amazing.  I just went down a little internet rabbit hole and purchased three of their thermo polishes: one a cream lavender/pastel blue [#174], and the other two jelly/glitters (one in white/black, and the other in violet/red #180 and #182).  
 
These metallic thermos (in the pictures above--it's the Chameleon line) don't seem to be available for purchase in the US yet, maybe because it's DL's fall line.  Has anyone seen a place to buy these yet?
 
I'll definitely report back on the three thermos when they arrive, Christa!

Please do.  I was going to order #182 today.  I had it in my cart and then changed my mind and bought a stamping plate with the transformers logos on it instead.  However, come pay Friday, I may not be able to resist.

Nail mail came today with my purchase of Carebear stare from Lacquer Lust.  I wasn't expecting much and when I opened I got this adorable package.  So cute I almost didn't want to open it!  Polish is even more adorable than I remember.  I can't wait to wear it.  I will post those pics as soon as I do.
