I will.  It actually is scheduled for tomorrow 01/26.  I got excited and came home right at 2PM EST and jumped on and the site was down... Then I realized I was a day ahead.  /sigh

She's got a lot of great polishes.  I forgot she's the one with the Love Actually collection and there is a pink holo for Valentine's Day that was beautiful but I only ordered the one because I want to take it easy on my wallet until my taxes get here.  I have bought a lot of polish lately.  I only grabbed this one because I wanted it the minute you showed it to us!!!  I am a huge Army of Darkness fan and it was a must have.  With that being said it looks like it used to go for $9.00 and now it's $11.00.  That's almost more than I really wanted to spend since I usually only go for sales.  If they had been less expensive I may have ordered more.

I think I have died and gone to polish heaven.  Just read that Dance Legend has a top coat called Sahara and it's a clear textured top coat that will turn any polish (including nail art and decals underneath) into a textured polish!!!  I must have this.

I hate my USPS.  They are all OVER the place with tracking.  I can't rely on them.  I am expecting a FedEx pkg today from Cherry Culture and while not indies, any day with nail mail is a great day in my book!
Thanks - good to know on thickening polishes up again! 

USPS looks like they're screwing up again - a package due tomorrow went through my main sort center about an hour away, then went through sorting at the neighboring town yesterday, and went back through the main sort center again this morning... At least I should still get it tomorrow, I hope! I accidentally received You're My Dandy Lion instead of Hypnotize Me in my Cult Nails order, so I'm anxiously waiting for my Hypnotize Me to arrive!

Bwahaha. 

On another note, Black Sheep Lacquer subscribers... did you see Erin's pic on Instagram a few days ago? Her description was "3 new Valentine's polishes for February's subscribers!"


I don't know how I feel about the lighter color, and unfortunately I recently got a similar berry-ish holo color, but I'm still excited!

Also, I got my The Polish Bar order in on Friday, including my grab bag polishes!



In order:

Ordered (not grab bag):

Jingle Stars - clear base with blue, black, and white glitters of various sizes/shapes, some white bar glitter, and holographic stars

Berry Splash - a radiant orchard-type color with scattered holo

Grab bag:

Daydream - pink crelly with magenta, purple, and blue hex glitter

Summer of Love - purple jelly Edit: oops, it sure looks like a jelly in the bottle, but according to her site, it's a clear base. This is the one polish that I didn't swatch! So, clear base with various purple glitters, including small flowers and hearts

Citrus Squeeze - clear base with white, orange, and yellow hex glitters

Open Sky (mini) - blue crelly with white, green, and purple glitters

I haven't worn any of them yet, but the application seemed very promising on all of them when I swatched them on sticks, with some fishing required for a star in Jingle Stars. Overall, I'm definitely pleased with the grab bag - I'm particularly loving Daydream and Open Sky!

Oh, I hope my grab bag is the same! Mine has been stuck in "electronic shipping info received" for forever. Grrrrr. And I'm in California! I really was hoping it would show up yesterday.

Weird! Mine sat in "electronic shipping info received" until it suddenly appeared in VA, so the post office on her end must fail at scanning. Hopefully it shows up soon! Ugh, hating on USPS - and it looks like their tracking function is down right now, too!

My Llarowe box came today!! I got three polishes, first one is Naild It Sunflower Seeds.

It's interesting, not something I'd pick myself but I'll give it a try. Next up is Lilypad Lacquer Pink Sugar.

It's a pretty pink, can't wait to try this one. Last one is Lacc 1963 (no name, just a number.)

It's a nice bright pink, and the label says it's vegan friendly. All in all, not a bad grab bag. edited to finish post...stupid iPhone...

Can't wait to hear how this one comes out.  I'd buy it just for the name on this one.  Sunflower seeds are my favorite snack in the world!!

KB Shimmer doing Valentine's Day trio.  So excited!

Ooh, the sunflower one looks super cute. I love yellows but they make me look dead.

I've been wanting to try Lilypad Lacquer's holos! They are often sold out.
