Hi, everyone! So, above is the order in which the box will be going out for this round. Currently, I'm just waiting for a package from LyndaV to help beef up the starter box. As soon as I put my contributions in, we'll get this thing going!

Some reminders:

1.) Please send me a PM or post on here when you receive the box as well as when you send it out again. Don't forget to include the tracking number!

2.) PM me for the next address.

3.) Let's try to keep the box moving within 3-4 days. But we understand that life happens. So if you think you'll have issues getting the box on the move in a timely manner (say, longer than a week), please just communicate that with the rest of the group.

4.) Please replenish the box with a similar value to what you take out. Example, if you take a drugstore polish, put a drugstore one in. If you take a high end polish, put a high end one in. This will help ensure that the balance of the box stays consistent for everyone in the group. If you're not sure what qualifies as low/high end, Lily V started a helpful thread with ongoing discussion about it here: https://www.makeuptalk.com/t/138790/polish-brand-survey-poll-for-circular-swap-participants/0_90 If you're still uncertain, please post here to we can all pitch in our thoughts and come to some kind of group consensus if necessary.

5.) Pictures are fabulous, so if you are able, please post them! It's great to see what everyone takes and what everyone puts in, and (in my opinion), it helps keep everyone honest too.

I think that's about it for now. We'll be using this thread for any general discussion or questions pertaining to our group, and I will be posting pics of the starter box hopefully pretty soon. Looking forward to it! I'm here to help make sure everything runs smoothly, so feel free to PM me if you have any individual concerns.

 
Woohoo! Very excited to get started!

PS - I found this thread completely by accident. Might want to PM the folks on the list to let everyone know the circular swap groups have been posted?

Any requests (colors, finishes, brands, etc.?) Speak now.....

 
Definitely. I was thinking the same thing, but didn't get around to it today. I'll send out a PM in the morning. Hopefully everyone's still in!

 
Yay! Yay!! I'm in! My first swap!!

I'm so excited because I have a crapton of dupe polishes I won in an ipsy contest, so ladies, I hope you like pixie dusts.

Pixie Dusts are amazing!! I can't wait for this!! *happy dances*

 
Quick update: I received the box from Lynda, and I'm just getting the package ready to ship out. My only slight concern is that the first person on the list, payton, hasn't been on MUT for a little over a week, and I just want to make sure she's still up for the swap since sign-ups were a while ago. I don't think she's received my PM on here since she hasn't logged on, so I'll be emailing her instead. Hopefully I'll get a response soon.

 
@payton!! Did you answer your email, payton? Paaaaayyyyttooooooonnn!

PPPPPPPPPPPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY-

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

 
Haha, yes, she did. Box is good to go, but it'll be sent on Tuesday. Forgot Monday was a holiday. I'll post contents of the box as soon as I can. I don't think it's going to be as big as the starter box on the East Coast, but I'm sure it'll keep growing as it progresses down the line.

 
Here's a photo of what's starting off in the box. I'll put it under spoilers this time in case payton wants to be surprised, but I do have additional notes after that, which will spoil a couple of things..

From LyndaV:



Nailtini Frappe, SOPI I'm With Brad, OPI Metallic 4 Life, Nicole My Empire, My Rules, Essie Red Nouveau, SH Lightening, Ulta High Roller, and Hard Candy (no label)

What I put in:



Essie Shine of the Times, OPI Pink Shatter, Black Shatter, CG Red Stallion, Milani Blue Flash, Sinful Faceted, Color Club purple/silver chunky glitter (no name), SH Mermaid's Tale,  BL Shambolic, CG Paper Chasing, Orly Lemonade, CG Metallic Muse, Wagon Trail, and Sinful Winter Wonder

So, we're starting off at about 23 polishes (24 if you count the strips, which I do), plus a few nail related items. I wrapped all the bottles individually, condensed them into smaller boxes/bags, and we are already up to a medium flat rate box. Fingers crossed everything gets to you intact, payton! I included names of everything in the spoiler in case you'd rather check out swatches and don't feel like unwrapping each one.

Regarding the Milani polish, I know it seems really used, but it's just dried down. I was reluctant to include it, but I figured there's a pretty decent chance that most of us polish addicts have thinner. I have some too, but I could not find it for the life of me! Apologies if that was a bad move. Most of the stuff I added is either brand new or has only been swatched a couple of times at most. I had to resist adding even more since our group is the largest, and who knows what it'll look like by the end? I'll just have to save them for the next one.

 
I need to stop checking this thread so often. I'm torturing myself.

 
I am sorry all - I was out of town for a long weekend when the box was delivered and just got back yesterday. The polish box was amazing. Sorry if my pictures are not great - I was trying to get all the pictures taken and up and the box off to the next person as quickly as possible. 












The box is off to Lynda V. Lynda - I will direct message you the confirmation tomorrow (I left it at work). Thanks!

 
Got the box today...only had a chance for a quick look. Will post pics tomorrow!

 
OK Ladies, here are the pics:

This is what was in the box...

This is what I took:


This is what I put in:



The two indie polishes are from Liquor & Lacquer...I'm not even sure if they are still around??  Also, I wasn't sure which category for Michael Marcus polish.  It lists for $15 on their site, I got it for around $8 (I think) on LBB.
 
Yes, sorry got a little hung up there with Thanksgiving but it is on its way to Ampym!
