I do too - love love love etsy! Also follow about a million indie makers on instagram. I'll try to post some deals as well & be an enabler LOL. I'm not sure if I'm going to buy some from Hit Polish's sale. I'm trying to be good and I just bought quite a bit of minis from her last sale.

Has anyone tried thermals? I noticed that Dance Legend and Eighty4 have them, but because they are indie, there aren't a whole lot of reviews online.

I haven't tried Dance Legend but I have tried polishes from Eighty4. I won like 5 of my choice from a facebook like referral contest LOL. The owner is SO nice. But anyway, one of my choices was the thermal Two Moons that turns purple when cold and blue when warm. It has kind of a matte finish and dries really quickly.It's lovely - my only thermal....so far.

My thermals are from Glitter Daze (my fav) and I have 2 from Polish TBH.  I have been extremely pleased with both brands and have been looking elsewhere and found a few I want to buy in the near future just can't decide yet.

I would LOVE to try the Dance Legend themos.  But I am sure they are as smelly and full o' chemicals as the UV changing ones.

Darling Diva polish has 30% off your entire order with code THANKFUL going on now, on both her big cartel and etsy site. She has the 5 for 25 deal that I've gotten before, it would be a steal with the code.

Boyfriend told me today to "stop buying polish".  I was a good girl and only ordered one mini and one full sized for now.  If I had more money I would have gotten more for sure.  I adore Rachel and I wanted to support her sale so I bought at least a little something.

LOL!  I'm not going to buy anything - I still haven't even tried out the polishes I bought from the last sale.

Me, too! I probably have ~30+ minis from some of the other HitPolish sales and mystery boxes. I just haven't seen as many from her new collection that I am dying to have right now. I think I'm passing. I had a few in my cart , but it just doesn't make sense to me, with the shipping. Plus, I feel like I am starting to drown in Polish. And, the SS will add some new beauties to my drawer. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Pretty and Polished is having a Black Friday sale from 10 AM - 4 PM (EST) today. "Almost every polish is at least 30% off!All bath and body products are 10% off with coupon code "Friday10" "

I just ordered a couple of thermals, plus their topcoat and base coat, which I've seen a couple of good things about. I'm excited; some of their thermals (and other polishes) look awesome!

Enabled. I just picked up 3 Thermals. I am loving the Black Friday sales. Such a great way to try Indies. Description Unit price Qty Amount Tomboyish - Full Size $6.25 USD 1 $6.25 USD April Showers $6.25 USD 1 $6.25 USD Gray Skies $6.25 USD 1 $6.25 USD Thanks for sharing! I have four Thermals coming my ways now... Picked up a pink one yesterday, from Eighty4. I can't wait to try my first Thermal polish. It seems like a fun concept this winter. I've definitely splurged on quite a few purchases this week, but I know I will gift and SS some of it. My postman is going to hate me, though. I need to plan some holiday gifts for the mail ppl. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I resisted everything else, but I got the mini Hunger Games set from Hit Polish this morning. I've been tempted by those for awhile.

 

[tulosai]

Argh waffling about Beyond the Nails's sale.  I really really want to do it but I am SWIMMING in polish and already over my black friday 'budget' muhahaha.

I did resist all other polish today though except for Hit Polish and Mod Polish.  I wanted the hunger games set for a while like the person above me, and I've been drooooling over 'breaking mod' for an eternity.

Funny thing I found about my polish collection is that I tend to wear my indies more than I any other polish.  My Polish TBH thermal How I Troll is already down to the top of the logo on the bottle from my repeated wear.  I tend not to wear many polishes that often but have been relying on them to be my goto's.  Although I will say I wear my glitter toppers less and I have about 10 from Hit Polish I have yet to wear.  I only ordered a mini of Military Regalia because it's nothing like any shade I currently have and Crash Burn because despite that fact I have a few similar I am a huge Hackers fan and felt like I couldn't pass that one up.  I was a good girl and didn't order any more polishes but I did get two "Melmers" from Michaels and ordered some plates from Winstonia. I hate that so many indies are so limited that I feel like I can not wait or I will never have them.  I hate that feeling like I am missing out on something.  I guess that's part of my OCD/collector habit.  I really would have loved to have a few hundred bucks I didn't need so I could have really gotten all my wish list items.  I can't wait to see the ones you ladies grabbed.

On a side note when Hit Polish does release her holos again I am going to snatch them up.  I love my green one so much I want to try more colors.

I went polish crazy for the online Black Friday sales--Zoya, Llarowe, and Darling Diva Polish. I have a bonus from work coming in December that will more than cover it all, but it felt weird because I usually spread out my spending quite a bit. I've never ordered this much in a day. Some of it is for other people, but still...okay, enough guilt. I did the Zoya coupon code where if you spend $72, you get a free 12-polish set Dream Box and a free mini Color Lock System. It was free shipping and a free Zoya Remove+ as well. I ordered a handful of Darling Divas that I've been wanting and one of her 5 for $25 mystery grab bags, then used a coupon code to get 30% off the whole order. Llarowe had a coupon code for 20% off everything, all day, since there were glitches with the site and she couldn't offer multiple flash sale codes throughout the day. I had to place multiple orders because your cart expires after a while and empties. My orders qualified for free shipping anyway, but she was also offering combined shipping for multiple orders placed today because of the cart expiration thing. While I don't see it happening, I acknowledge that it would be perfectly reasonable for me to never buy another polish. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Sounds like you did very well.  I can't think of a better way to spend a bonus!  I love shopping smart.

Jindie nails is having a sale for the first 40 customers get 40% off using code SUPPORTSMALLBUSINESS40.  Sale started 20 min ago but she sells out fast so it may be done already.  I passed.

I placed a KBShimmer order after I posted the above. I think that's my last one for a while. Have you seen their shade shifting multichrome holos? Amazing.

I want like every single polish she has ever made period.  The formula is amazing.  They last forever.  I ordered the top coat Clearly Quick has anyone tried it yet?  I have heard great things and am very excited about getting it.

Agreed.

I almost ordered the top coat. I read really good reviews on it. Apparently it smells, because it's only 2-free. But I use Seche Vite and that I'm sure isn't free of anything and it really smells. And the Clearly seems not to cause shrinkage.
