Here's the September spoiler, wish she would have taken the polishes out of the boxes though

I wasn't going to look since I'm only two hours from opening my package, but then I did, and SO MUCH YAY!

 

[trekkersangel]

I think I'm going to love the

Spoiler

Smell of the month. I'm guessing its a red apple smell (pomme rouge or apple red)

I want to see the colors though!!!! It looks like a red, a green, & a blue, but I can't tell if they are shimmers, glitters, or fun confetti top coats!

 

[Kelly Silva]

Just found that the scent and polishes are

Spoiler

strawberry scent. Not very fall-ish IMO, but it's supposed to smell good. And the polishes are a starry blue with star glitters, a neon green looking jelly with triangle glitters, and a dark brick red glitter with hexagonal glitters.

Here are the colors with and without flash.

Spoiler

The strawberry smell is pretty good

 

[biancardi]

hmm, not very fallish except the

Spoiler

dark red one

I wonder why they don't do forest green and plum colors?

 

[Kelly Silva]

Yeah I'm kind of glad I cancelled. I was going to buy the bag separately if I liked the colors, but I just think I have similar shades in my collection already from them.

Spoiler

How does Pomme Rouge = Strawberry? Or am I missing something in my knowledge of French here?

 

[tigerlilly523]

It is kind of like

Spoiler

a candy apple as well. But the first whiff smells like strawberry.

As far as shipping nail polish via priority mail is concerned, I found this little bit of info:

https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2007/html/pb22214/updt.3.2.html

Short version:  Notice that little sticker on the packages that say "USPS APPROVED DOT SP-9275"?  That means they have a permit from USPS that allows them to do this.  (And I weighed my package, and it's over a pound, so that explains why it got upgraded to priority.)

And the description for the scent: 

Spoiler

A lovely blend of sweet, seasonal red apples and berries."

  Alas, I can't smell much of anything.  I'm hoping it's just allergies.  Or, hey, if it actually doesn't end up smelling like much of anything, at least it's stuff that has a function other than smell.

I'm canceling next months...glitter polishes and I do not get along and that seems to be the theme they run. Oh well my nieces will like them.

 

[mandithomas89]

Might grab this. I'm just happy it's not more pink.

 

[onelilspark]

I can't find the individual Pumpkin Scented Top Coat - is it only available in the set?

 

[kaitlin1209]

This is such a bummer. I want more stuff along the lines of the Clover Trio that is sold out.  These pink/blue/green/yellow combos are boring.

I have NO CLUE where you heard that the Yokai trio is being re-released on October first along with three more currently-unknown shades to be added to the collection.  I definitely didn't post about it right here.  Nope, not at all.  (Okay, so there's still a blue in there, but it's an interesting blue, and it's pretty danged close to Essie Starry Starry Night.)

ETA:  I don't know how their seasonal collections work.  Will the Summer Mixtape collection be available for an extended amount of time with an announced takedown date?  Or maybe even permanently, since it's not in the Limited Edition section?  I want to get a bottle of Shark Attack for sure and maybe a few others, but I need to get it in a few months (maybe after Christmas) for budgetary reasons.  It will just sit in my collection until next summer, so I don't need it *nao* like I need the September set!

 

[kawaiisofoxy]

*sigh* I want to buy one of these but the colors/scents just aren't doing it for me!  I'm happy that it's not more pinks (loving the ones I got from my FGM, but don't need more!) but I just WANT fall colors! If it was a purple, a darker green, and a dark reddish/orange with a pumpkin scent I'd be ALL OVER IT, and I'm hoping it goes that way for October.

September is such a weird Summer/Fall transition month that seems to be coming out in this collection.  I'd be very tempted if it was an apple-y caramel-y scent (and yes, Pomme Rouge translates directly to Red Apple.  If she wanted to do apples & strawberries she could have done Pommes et Fraises).  But a "berry" scent is very summery to me.

The body balm stick looks really cool though!  I can't wait to hear what you all think!

The mention about the Yokai set was buried in their last email newsletter. They're bringing back the original three with a few new colors in (I'm guessing October) for a limited time. It was all the way at the bottom of the newsletter, which was lengthy this month. "Can you keep a secret? The Yokai collection will be back on our site next month for a limited time only; Oni, Kawako and Kitsune! Make sure you grab yours and make room because we hear they'll bring 3 new friends!

#RHYokai"

I'd say keep checking the site to see if it shows up, though they'll probably send out an email update. And I wish they'd do more colors similar to the finishes in the Yokai set, they're definitely worth getting once they're back in stock.

As to the availability of collections, I think some they try to keep regular stock on and others they only keep until their stock sells out. My best advice would be to email 'em and see it they'll say how long the Mixtape set will be available to purchase.

Oh, I was kidding about "I don't know how you heard about this" because of the whole "Can you keep a secret" thing.  It's definitely coming out October 1st.  That information was in the September mystery bag.

I'll email them about the Mixtape set when I get back from running errands.  And getting a burger.  I need food, and *so happy* Burgerville does turkey burgers!

I posted that before the coffee kicked in for the day - after I posted it I reread and saw the sarcasm, but was too lazy to edit the post. I must need more coffee, I'll have to remedy that later as a reward for dealing with this godawful heat today.
