My conclusion is I am happy I ordered it, wish I had also ordered her pink/purple thermo but oh well and I hate the USPS and waiting for packages until damn near 5 pm.  I will probably end up posting in the nails of the day when I do this tonight properly.
Glad your polish came, its so pretty!

Thanks!  I realized how annoying petty I sound right now whining over not getting something.  Having a bad day and getting nail mail usually makes my day a little better.  Sorry for being  so negative ladies. 

We've all been there, no worries! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

We can just live vicariously thought Pollysmom's mystery boxes like I do every other month!!!

I bought one, so will post pics when it arrives. I agree, I normally don't like to pay for shipping, but I ordered a few minis too (Vampire's Kiss and the glow in the dark top coat) and I do like supporting small companies. And it's my birthday at the end of October, so I am splurging a little....OK, A LOT, this month on polishes. In November, I am seriously doing a polish no buy! I also signed up for Black Sheep Lacquer's box, but will probably only keep that one for one month. And I have another one I'm looking at. You Polish has a box as well, you sign up on Oct 18th, so if I remember I might try that one, too. After that, I'm done!!! I swear!!!!

Sorry for all the posts, I can't figure out how to combine them on the iPad. I'm not a fan of light pinks, but I think this is really pretty. It looks good on you.

I finally ordered my first thermo polish today too.  I told myself I was only going to spend $20.00 total this 2 week pay period (not including shipping) and I am already at 17 just getting that and the pink to go under my Jindie polish.  It's a Halloween themed one called A Garlic a Day Keeps the Vampires Away from Glitter Daze.  This will be a first time for this brand.  I have been bombarded with Halloween indie polish images on Facebook and this was the first one I went "I HAVE to have that."   There are a few I really want but this polish is so off beat it screamed to me!!  It's white when warm and red when cold.  It looks gorey and kind of like white mint choc chip ice cream from Bryers with red flecks.  I have no idea what I am getting myself into but it's all kinds of awesome looking.  I promised myself I would get some more KB Shimmers but my budget said otherwise so at least I know I am getting something unique.

Last one, I promise!, I saw that polish in her FB page and was SO intrigued, but I passed. I have ordered so much polish the last few weeks it's ridiculous! Please post swatches when you get it, I'd love to hear how it works and if it's as cool as it looks,

Awesome haul!  You got a bunch I don't have.  Other than the mystery box I only have 1 of the other mini polishes you just got.  I think it's awesome she had so much to choose from.  I would buy more but I just have no extra funds left now.

Oh, wow! I LOVE the purple/pink one in the third picture. I'll have to check out that site.

I actually had the EXACT same reaction when I saw the polish, but I'm a subscriber so I waited until I got my box...luckily I did because it was in there! Here are some swatches I did today (I plan on doing a full review later)

This is A Garlic a Day Keeps the Vampires Away from Glitter Daze...white is warm and red is cold.

Ooooh thanks for posting these.  So it is more pink than red then when cool or was this in transition?

Has anyone tried My Ten Friends?  There's a launch of the Halloween line tomorrow and celebration of their 1 year anniversary which includes some astronaut ice cream and a bunch of other goodies will be available for a chance of winning.  The polish looks pretty awesome for glitters.  I may have to stretch my budget just a teeny weeny bit.

It actually doesn't look pink in person, I think it's just the pictures. It goes from like a lighter red to full red

It would just so happen that once I start REALLY getting into nail polish, that I end up working at a bakery as a sales clerk so now I can't wear nail polish.

Noooooooo!!!!!!! On the plus side if there is a such a thing... maybe your wallet will thank you... but at least it's a bakery which is awesome not an auto parts store (no offense to any of you that work in an auto parts store).

True, my wallet will thank me. But all my pretties I just got! 

  I guess I'll have to be satisfied painting my sisters nails! LOL or my toe nails!!  

So I'm going to get really fat from working at a bakery and have ugly nails! Wooohoooo.

You can't wear some super sheer gloves and show off your pretties when you are handing out cupcakes?
