I had this with 356 days of Color - I ordered in a sale but she added the proper full price on the label so it went over the customs limit. :(She couldn't have been sweeter about it though, she didn't know.

It was £25, based on XE.com the day I ordered. I thought the limit was £35, but on checking that's for gifts. There was no custom or excise, but a fiver VAT and £8 Royal Mail charges. Pah. My own stupid fault.

On a brighter note, her polishes are stunning. I got Drops of Jupiter, Never Grow Up and the Echoes collection of 6 mini bottles. I'm wearing Hey You now, a pale lilac with glitter in a variety of purples and sizes. It felt slightly more work appropriate than some of the others.

Yup. I bought the mini set and liked it so much I bought Bazinga and Soft Kitty in full sizes. But Rock, Paper, Scissors, Spock is also a real looker. Good glitter pay-off and smooth finish under 1 layer of topcoat.

Had to go buy school shoes today Clarks is opposite Claires and I had offered to take my youngest daughter in as a reward for the torture that is shoe shopping. I accidentally ended up with these:

Nice haul annita, sorry you were unlucky with one bottle.

LoolaBeanbag Fri Aug 09, 2013 10:30 am

A great selection of brights there kelpy, is that a cheeky holo on the right too?! Very Happy

Your little lot looks fab annita, I have a thing for China Glaze and I'm quite partial to a Milani or two too! Bummer about the damaged one Crying or Very sad

, I hope that you get a replacement.

It is a mint holo great for £1! can’t go wrong there. I have to take the oldest out for school shoes tomorrow I may have to go back and see if I have missed any Wink

Babafette Fri Aug 09, 2013 8:06 pm

Some nice little purchases there kelpyg, I'm particularly jealous of the holo for £1! Very Happy

kelpyg Fri Aug 09, 2013 8:34 pm

I had a look on-line the only holographic one was £3 there are plenty of other £1 polishes though. They charge £2.99 for delivery unless you spend over 24.99. If you like I can have a look and send you one.

Babafette Fri Aug 09, 2013 8:45 pm

Thanks that's really sweet of you kelpyg. Very Happy

I'm going back to London tomorrow so I'll have a look in the local one near my office on Monday first and let you know if that's OK.

Thanks again.

Excellent - thanks Sam !

Yep

Problem is though I now seem to be ending up with pretty similar ones ,may have to sort out the must haves from the ok's .... affraid

I think once I have decided on a holo maybe I should step away from the greens for s bit affraid

LoolaBeanbag Sat Aug 10, 2013 1:24 am

Gorgeousness! Ick a body's been on my maybe list for a while (with Mummy may I).
The KB is fab, utterly fab.

How about a gentle sidestep into teals and turquoises instead of the huge leap away from the greens Sue? Wink

SueD Sat Aug 10, 2013 1:33 am

Loola, I have been after Ick A Body for a while too,I found it here, which is where the Zoyas were from too Smile

I've had 3 sinful colors from pound land.
They were Courtney Orange, Irish Green and Let's Talk.

I've also got OPI Jinx, Alcatraz Rock and Peace, Love and Opi waiting for pickup from the post office.

Oh, and last weekend I brought 3 Deborah Lippmanns from TkMaxx. They were Rockin Around the Christmas Tree, Lady Sings The Blues and a nail treatment.
