Christa, where did you order your Lacquer Lusts from?  I went looking for them on the internet several days ago--prompted, I think, by your post here.  (You are driving me to ever great heights of polish-hoarding, Christa!)  I found an outlet--don't remember where--but all of the good stuff was sold out.  Please tell me your vendor so I can throw my money at them!

Hmm.  I can't seem to locate it.  I thought it was www.lacquerlust.bigcartel.com but now when I go there there is nothing there.  I will find it!!!

Ok, she must have taken them down. There were a bunch up there.  I totally wish I would have purchased more!  I know she has a whole birthstone holo collection coming, maybe you can hit the contact button on the site.  That's definitely where I got it.

Eek! The next Hit Polish mini collection goes on pre-sale Friday! Willie Wonka! I'm supposed to be going on a no-buy, but I'm a sucker for things based on certain books from my childhood. This is one of those books. Others: the Nancy Drew series, _Alice in Wonderland_ (my absolute favorite book of all time!), _A Wrinkle in Time_, and the Pippi Longstocking series.

Okay, thanks!  I'll give it a try.

Where can I go (if not in here) to swap a polish?

I was lucky enough to score a couple of Enchanteds earlier this week. I did one mani with Congratulations and while I love the colour, it sadly doesn't love my skintone. Since these are hard to come by I'd prefer to trade only for another Enchanted, open on colours. Trade US/Canada due to ground shipping restrictions.

Can I post this here?

I keep getting sucked down the rabbit hole of indie polishes!  Gah!   I am on a temporary low (no?) buy until some back pay comes to me on the 13th of September.  When it does I am going to go all out starting with these babies.

I have that DP Fluffy.. it's pretty! I picked up a mini bottle and do have to tip it around to get the bigger discs out, but it's pretty!

Hah!  Christa, you just made me laugh out loud at my desk!  

I should be working rather than reading MUT, and now that you're making me laugh right out loud this is getting dangerous.

Anyone know of a cute pink and gray glitter indie in a clear base?

Then my job here is done.  Welcome to the Danger Zone!

I received this polish yesterday from Pop Culture Cosmetics via Etsy shop. It's called Faith, Trust, & Fairy Dust. When I first saw that picture; I really like it alot. It took two coats to achieve that color. I will post tomorrow with a different color. 

This is her etsy photo: 



This is the actual color. It's taken at outside with natural light and little sun. I didn't like this blue color at all. It is kinda growing on me. I actually like it better when the sun shines into it.



This is indirect with brightest sunlight...

I posted the pics of my Care Bear Stare in the what are you wearing now thread.  I am posting a different pic here to save you the double pics.  This pic shows the polish better.   Forgive this cuticles on this one I was too excited to shoot a picture of it!  I should have applied less I think, I went 2 thick coats instead of thin and it did take a longer time to dry even with Seche.  I did it 2 coats over OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.

I know this was addressed a bit but I was curious if you tried it.  I have a friend who is also currently living in Australia for about a year or so and told me he would bring it his next trip home or when his friends visited.  I read if it was packaged correctly ie in a sturdy box with bubble wrap that it would fit under Australia's Dangerous Goods policy.  What I would love is a trip there to visit him myself but I don't see that happening any time soon.  If it did I would pack 3 tee shirts and 2 pairs of jeans and fill the rest of my carry on with polish.

Today is Hit Polish day!  I ordered my mini grab bag (probably should have gone for full size but my wallet said "it's mini or none") and my Green Bay Packers team colors mini just came in the mail.  Since it was my first order from Hit Polish,  I was hoping to get it before I made the purchase of the grab bag but I didn't want to miss out.  Fortunately this polish is SO perfect.  My only issue with it is that it is a mini meaning if I wear it, which I want to badly, it's going to be gone way too fast.  I mean there are 16 games per season and here's crossing those glittery fingers we make it to the playoff's and beyond!!  Sorry for the blurry ish pictures my hands would not stop shaking.  I will post again when I actually put it on!  It's as if Lambeau Field just exploded into a jar.  I know that Hit Polish is from Chicago so they ought to know the NFC North.  I want their Bears shade too just because they called it "Da Bears".

Did you guys see the good news!! Llarowe is going to be selling a indie polish subscription on her site called "A box indied"! 5 polished a month from a variety of polish makers starting with a halloween box in October. I just hope it's not crazy expensive and isnt super hard to get. Anyone gonna jump on board this train??

 

[kellsbells]

O.k, looks like these are the makers involved in the collaboration: Black Cat Laquer, Different Dimensions, Liquid Sky Laquer, Laquerlicious, WP, Dollish Polish, Freak Show Polish, Indie Nails, Ethereal Laquer. I could be wrong on two of those it was kinda hard to read the announcement/font /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

She had me at "Each month will bring 5 exclusive polishes that cannot be purchased elsewhere from these 10 indie polish makers.".  I have never actually purchased anything from Llarowe before so I am pretty clueless on how hard it might be to get my little fingers on these, and of course price, if it's too expensive then count me out.

AAGGH!  I have just come to the conclusion that I have enough polish, and need to back way off on buying and subscribing, and . . . now . . . this.  

Kellsbells, you and Christa and Leah Ann Larowe are going to be the (beautifully polished) death of me!

Okay, where did you see this news?  I've just done a little lookaround on the Llarowe site and blog and I couldn't find anything.  I need DETAILS!!!!

Hm, I imagine an agreeable price point for this subbox for everyone involved would probably be between $35-40. I know indie polishes are difficult to make en masse but the point of a sub is to make things more accessible... so for $7-8 per polish per box, I think most people would love to get in on that...

As for me, I have Too Much Polish lol.
