Did you see her theme box is the Dark Crystal???  I could see any of these happening!  You should totally email her and tell her.  I love Rachel.  I have contacted her a few times with questions and comments and she's very sweet.

Yeah, seeing the _Dark Crystal_ collection was what got my mind rolling down the _Labyrinth_ direction. My favorite perfume company has a _Labyrinth_ collection and is getting ready to launch a _Dark Crystal_ collection very soon! I always feel weird making suggestions like this. I think I figure that if a creative person is going to do something, it's going to be on their radar whether I say anything or not. But I do love making lists and pondering this sort of thing out loud/on forums. Labyrinth: http://www.etsy.com/shop/MckfreshNailAttire?section_id=13357400

I am seeing a lot of this brand lately.  Awesome collection.  Too bad it's Aussie only.

I got my Hit Polish Halloweenies today!  I am regretting not getting a full bottle of Halloween 2.0 it's amazing.  I hope she isn't sold out when I get paid.   I did snag a full sized Jack Loves Sally which officially became my favorite glitter polish in the history of ever!  I was so excited when I checked the shipping and found out it was in the mail, I altered my gradient manicure for the 31 day challenge so I could top it with this!  I tried to make the glitter gradient too but putting a coat on the tips and then one coat on the whole nail. 





My crappy pictures don't do it justice! 

Here's a bottle shot of Halloween 2.0

Yay, mine should be waiting for me when I get home! I also got Galaxy Quest, which I will save for Comic Con next weekend, and the complete mystery box. So fun!

I just got one of those Polish Addict mystery boxes, too!! I'll post pics when I get home from work. I loved the one I received, I liked it a lot better than any Julep mystery box I've gotten!!

AACK!  Now I'm feeling tempted.  Run away!  Run away!

My BOX OF AWESOME arrived! Photo now, will double back with shade names after I boot Ed off the laptop. Now featuring shade names! Two Hit Polish orders combined into one box (spoiler because the Willy Wonka and Complete Mystery colors are in here!):

Spoiler

Top row, L to R: Galaxy Quest, Jack Loves Sally, Witches Brew, Halloween 2.0, and Sapphire, September's Customer Appreciation color (I was very confused why I received this one -- I knew I didn't order it -- until I read the label) Middle row, L to R: Willy Wonka collection! Oompa Loompa, The Chocolate Room, Mr. Willy Wonka, and Wonka Bar (which appears to be just glitter, but that's just how it settled in the bottle. There's actually a brown base) Bottom row, L to R: Complete Mystery collection: Woven Tapestry, Mint Julep, Many Faces of Topaz, and Bobbin' for Apples (funny thing: Bobbin' for Apples was the one that made me decide to go ahead and order this box, and it's actually my *least* favorite of the bunch now that I see them live and in person!)

Galaxy Quest is going to be saved for Rose City Comic Con next weekend (so the weekend of the 20th), and there are a couple others that need to be reserved for after autumn weather *really* kicks in, but I'll be picking one of the rest of them for tomorrow. I just can't figure out which one! I was actually very surprised to see the WW polishes in this box because I thought those weren't even shipping yet, and I had ordered the other stuff almost a week later (so completely separately) because I thought I could pass on the Complete Mystery collection until I saw someone's (Souly's?) photos, so when I just kept pulling more bottles out of the box I was *very* happy, and that was before I saw the polishes and fell in love. So excited! Now time to shower and contemplate my VERY IMPORTANT DECISION: Which one should I wear tomorrow? (And not pictured: The earrings that went with the Complete Mystery set. They're just round studs, probably 1/4" across, and holographic glitter against a black background. I don't usually wear stud earrings, or really *any* earrings, but if I don't have an allergic reaction, I'll be wearing them for RCCC!) (And I do have to say that although I lovelove*love* these colors, I'm very glad I just got minis instead of full-sized versions of the ones that are available in big bottles. They're just going to work better for me for multiple reasons. Now, hurry up, autumn weather! Cool things down already so I can wear autumn polish!)

 

[NotTheMama]

Here is my Polish Addict mystery box:

Colors are: Sun Splashed Shores, Savannah, Milky Way and Dr Franken. I also got a small tub of hand scrub, a bottle of cuticle oil, a mini bottle of SPF 35 top coat, a 6 piece mani set, 2 vials of nail charms (gold hexes and purple flowers) and a nail file. I loved what I got and will order from Polish Addict again. Right now I'm on a no buy for nail polish for the month of September, I've been doing a lot of polish shopping lately!! I also ordered a Darling Diva mystery box and the Hit Polish Willie Wonka box and the total mystery box. I will post pics of those tomorrow.

Awesome colors! Savannah looks so pretty. I have Milky Way too /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Hit Polish birthday sale still going on until 9 AM EST tomorrow. 

Here's what I got from that and from clearance on her Etsy shop. My computer is acting up I will post the actual colors shortly.  Also I once said she was from Chicago but that was in error.  She's in SC and originally from Ohio I believe.

 

[Christa W]

From left to right: Key Lime Pie, Frooty Pebbles (both from Etsy discontinued), Sapphire customer appreciation mini (for spending $30.00), Snow White, Rachel's birthday polish (for spending $15.00) , Retro Chic (discontinue), Random Access Memories, Galaxy Quest, Superman, Halloween 2.0 and Green Bay Packers (both of the latter I had mini's and had to get full size).  I loved the earrings in her mystery bag that were made with the Random Access polish and had to buy it also. 

 

[Christa W]

I totally forgot my other package today  I finally ordered Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food topcoat.  Here's why.  I recently bought China Glaze Electrify on clearance at a Sally's in another city.  When I got home it looked like this.



Boo for sinking glitters.  After reading a review of Glitter Food besides being a great topcoat for glitter polishes it works to fix these.  I removed by syringe as much of the liquid that I could without loosing glitter and replaced it with Glitter Food.  That was about 10 hours ago and it's still holding up.  I put a pic of the Glitter Food with to show how much I actually had to use. I can't wait to see what it does on top of the glitters.  Anyone using it currently?
