Boo.  Cart jacked on my Zim full sized from Hit Polish.  I am not a happy camper.

So... I figured out a solution.  I bought 3 mini's.  I will get an empty bottle and put them in it.  Problem solved.  I asked her if she had any extra bottles which unfortunately she did not.  It sucks because her bottles are really unique.

KB Shimmer discontinuing a bunch of the blogger holiday polishes and others.  Sucks too because I might miss out!!!

Just saw on FB Hit Polish has restocked.

Does anyone remember the code for a free polish from Black Sheep? My husbands giving me a year subscription for christmas /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I wonder if it's still valid? I'm on a tablet so the thought of going through all the pages is making me sick, lol, but god help me, i'll do it if i have to! Thanks!

It's on her blog (http://blacksheeplacquer.wordpress.com), FREEME. Her post said it was only good through October, though, but it's worth a shot!

 

[kellsbells]

Thank you SO much [@]lochnessie[/@]! I'll give it a shot, can't hurt to try!

Just got the Christmas money I was hoping for.  Wish I would have known it would be here this early.  I would have been ordering from the LLarowe sales. Oh well.  All things happen for a reason.  Can't wait to shop!!! So many sales, or do I wait until after Christmas???

I know I really wanted to order some of the My Online Shop stamping plates.  As far as polish goes I have so many I want I just don't know what to choose.  I ordered a few from Hit Polish on the 20th so I have them coming.  I really want some good holos I think.  Or some non glittery thermals.  I had a list in a notebook (dedicated to only notes about nail polish) but when I started looking I realized I had already bought similar looking stuff.  I think I want a few KB Shimmers too.  I am on a quest to find unique items.  I will check out that brand. 

I am completely OK not spending any until I get a good deal either.  I am usually someone who is all about the NOW and I think it hurts me.  I am willing to be patient if that's what it takes as well, just very excited I don't have to pass on something if I really like it.

A lot of nail bloggers have recently done best of 2013 posts of various sorts. Maybe check those out and see what gets your heart going.

Ooooh!  What a great idea thank you!

Those of you getting the Black Sheep Lacquer box: have you been billed yet for your January box? I had problems last month with getting an invoice, and I contacted Erin and she figured out what went wrong. However, I haven't seen anything so far for this month, and I just want to make sure I don't miss out!

I haven't gotten an email yet. Maybe tomorrow? I thought she sent it out on the 22nd last month.

Oh, no, sorry, I just went back & looked at my email...she sent it out on December 12th for the January box. Said to let her know by Dec 27th if you want the January box. Maybe send her an email if you didn't get it.

Ooh, good to know! I just sent her an e-mail, but I didn't want to bother her needlessly. I'm sure she'll get things sorted out. Thank you!

I am now making a list.  Looks like a few sites are going to either be down for the holidays or not shipping which gives me some time to make some great choices.  I have decided on 2 KB Shimmers from the Holiday collection so far and 1 A England.  I have heard great things about that brand for a long time and think I am going to use this as an opportunity to try them out.  I also can't decide if I want the thermal/texture LLarowe Dance Legend exclusive or not.  I read the reviews and people were pretty mixed.  I already own one pink to purple thermal but this one is textured!!  I may have to get that one too. 

I saw Mentality was releasing a textured holo line in the new year. I am not how I feel about that one.  I also think if I see Zoya have any sales again I might try and grab a few of the ones I was going to get before and after the Halloween debacle I just said forget it. 

I got my Hit Polishes today and I have to say I was so hung up on Invader Zim as a glitter and got mad because I missed out on the full size and ended up ordering 3 mini's instead, it wasn't my favorite.  Blackened Amethyst is so pretty.  I also got Barbie Girl and that was a much more sparkly than I thought it would be looking at the online pics.  It's got some iridescent glitters in it. 



With flash on top.  Without below.  I couldn't get Blackened Amethyst to really reflect how strong the holo is but trust me it's amazing.  Not quite as in  your face as the green one I have Fern Gully but I am very much looking forward to seeing it outside.  I have a manicure I did for Christmas using the Invader Zim and the Blackened Amethyst in the "nail polish you are wearing right now" forum too.

@Christa W regarding Dance Legend thermals: I don't know anything about textured thermals. But I have tried two so far of the DL thermals that I got from Llarowe. The one with glitter, #182, that I posted photos of, was fabulous and everything I wanted. But I just tried the Trio #2 and I was very disappointed; it didn't change color unless I used cold water, and even then not very much. It wasn't even worth photographing. (The regular color was a nice periwinkle, but still...) KBShimmer I do recommend. I have some A England's that I haven't tried yet, but I have only ever seen rave reviews about them. I'm currently wearing Picture Polish 'Imperial' and I think it's awesome for anyone who loves purple.

I got a few of the Pretty and Polished non-glittery thermals on black Friday, and I've been impressed with their color changing so far - I've used Tomboyish and Good Vibrations, and they changed color right around room temperature, even on my shorties. They dried to a somewhat matte finish and I had a bit of trouble leveling them out, but nothing that a coat of topcoat couldn't take care of.
