Oh no what are you ditching? I have a skittles mani on with 5 ciate colours and adore it. Only changing tonight because of the humongous untried stash.

mine came and I picked rubbish ones. Gutted.

Oh no which ones don't you like?
I find the stock photos a bit misleading and not many swatches available- I blame the ciate ban by bloggers

Finally got my text for delivery on the 11th, hope its worth the wait  

I finally got my text too Problem is, I cant remember what I ordered, so it will be a surprise :p

I got snowglobe, and three of the ones which were like helter skelter, and other stuff like that.

A pink Glitter, a purple glitter and a blue glitter. The only one I like is Monte Carlo

I left snow globe looked like a dupe of a china glaze one I have. I have monte Carlo but haven't used yet.
I like helter skelter but it isn't unique IMO, very pretty shade though.

I'm setting free Helter Skelter (I have a dupe), Spending Spree (nice, just not me), Island Hopping (orangey glass fleck, pretty but I have others similar), Monte Carlo (I didn't order it!) and a pinky glass flecky one whose name escapes me.
Love Letter is an absolute corker - duochrome and glitter together! I also like the others I've picked so not a complete dud parcel  

Where are you keeping your 'out' pile Loola? Dp you have a google doc or something? I was thinking we could set up a swap thread?

I am readying myself for a blog sale to get rid of mine. The last one was epic.

Erm, the 'out' pile's next to the laundry basket mayMeow! I haven't catalogued any of my stash which is a pretty poor show and possibly part of the reason I keep buying dupes

Lol! I know what you mean! I did an audit about 6 months ago and now it's all totally wrong! I'll start a swap thread later on and just list the 'to go' ones in there, then we've just got one post to keep updated- what do you think?

Great idea mayMeow!

Sorry you ladies weren't overawed by your purchases. Is it wrong that I am getting tremendously excited at the thought of your sales?

(I am too!!!!)

Vulture!      

I've no idea when I'll get round to it though Baba, we don't really pause for breath until the end of term now - daytime whilst the smallest is sleeping (which fortunately he does a lot of) is my down time until numbers 1 - 4 have gone to bed.  

I heard the words "blog sale"  *braces self*

Mine arrived, I got confetti and the blue velvet one. I like the look of the blue looks proper midnight.

On an aside -I got a text at 0845 telling me delivery was at 0930-1030:( nothing like notice, lucky someone signed for it. Interlink suck.

I finally got my text, it'll be delivered tomorrow (assuming a neighbour is in) so then I can join in the Ciate joy/dismay

I've never bought a Ciate polish, are they worth it?

What was that about a blogger ban though?

I've only ever bought one from eBay (Wait Until Dark for £1.50) but I haven't used it yet so I can't comment whether it's any good.

They tried to say that caviar or beads were trademarks of their polishes and bloggers using those terms with regards to non ciate polishes should stop. They emailed bloggers directly telling them to cease apparently.

Or something like that.
