  Thank you so much, I will have to  check it out. It will be awesome if they ship to me but not so much for my wallet lol.

ETA: I used the link you posted and looks like they are sold out of the trio because its not showing on the site.

I think you have to get them individually on the site.  I saw all 3 of them by themselves but no discount on it as a trio unfortunately.


Well, it was showing it as a trio last night. Try this to buy them individually: http://www.harlowandco.org/collections/kbshimmer/valentines-day

Thanks!

When I signed up, I just went ahead and e-mailed her - I'd probably go ahead and do so just in case?

I have decided that I am not going to buy any thermal polishes in winter anymore.  I don't know if it's the temperature differences shipping from cold weather to hot weather or what but 2 different polishes I have that are thermals don't work.  Both companies are replacing them which is amazing but I think I will wait until spring before I try any more.  I know the one from Polished TBH should work because I have 3 other thermals from her that I love and that work amazingly.

Interesting, although that's unfortunate. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I've had some thermals shipped to me in sub-freezing weather and sit in my mailbox for hours, and they've been fine when I tried them after letting them warm to room temperature. But I'm worried about the shelf life on thermals, too, since some pigments apparently stop changing after about a year or so? Do you have any older thermals, or have you run into that issue?

Not that I know of. My Polish TBH Island Fantasy seems like it is a bad bottle formula wise as well. The Dashing Housewife is great but it doesn't change unless using an ice cube. I'm hoping both are flukes and I'm just paranoid LOL!

Flash sale going on at Dashing Housewife 30% SALE4U ends 1 PM PST.  I grabbed one of the Halloween polishes and a green polish created for someone battling Lymphoma called Putting on the Gloves.  I can't wait for her St. Patty's day collection.  I would get more polish but I am trying to be a good girl.  I love her formula and her customer services is amazing too.  I am all about supporting people who deserve it!!

I may have just placed 3 different orders (worried about cart jacking!) for 8 polishes total.. However, $32 shipped for 8 polishes is amazing! They're definitely going fast, though.

Awesome!  I didn't even shop around.  I saw it, grabbed it and check out like within a few seconds.  I looked a bit more after to make sure there wasn't anything else I wanted LOL!!!

Haha, that was my problem - I'd place an order and then shop around and find more! I also reloaded a lot and was able to nab a few polishes that I wanted but originally were being held in another cart, since it looks like there was a 10 minute cart hold.

I ended up with:

Holo topper (I love using these to introduce polish newbie friends to indies and holos /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />)

Stampers: Betty (purple), Alva (teal that's been on my wishlist for awhile!), Demure (charcoal gray)

Precious holos: Flirt (red)

420 holos: Medicate (dark green)

Black light holos: Insight (described as a pink to bronze to golden green shift)

Brilliant collection: Elation (described as a green-toned blue) 

I'm excited! I imagine there'll be a bit of a backlog in shipping since they got slammed with orders, but generally my orders get here pretty quickly from them. Not that I need more polish... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It is a black light holo! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

Mentality's wide selection is a very dangerous thing...

Awesome I had something I didn't even know I did!  I think it's an awesome polish anyway.  It's multi color shifting holo that stamps well!!!

Nope anything on sale is price as marked.  Just make sure you are going to the vault site not the main bigcartel site.  If you follow them on Facebook there is a link.

Unfortunately, it looks like it's over with - they were going fast! There was a link to the clearance section on the Mentality Vault big cartel site, but it's no longer there. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

OK what's it supposed to do LOL?  I just checked all my polishes under black light and was super surprised by some of them but I didn't notice Kindness do anything.
