OK...so the other circular nail polish swap is kind of dead and last I saw they were in the middle of a cycle of swaps (yes, I've been lurking). So I'm hoping to start up a new one for all us Insanely AWETASTICAL polish horders..um...I mean Collectors. I figure Nail Talk was a good place to post as it should receive more views...i.e. more participants, and it is related to nails.
How it works:
I will gather a list of people who want to participate and post the list here in this thread once we reach at least 10 people, and I will give a close date of approximately a week once that list is posted so any last minute sign-up can be added.I want to make sure we have at least 10 participating so we can have a good swap with lots of trades...it's just more fun! Please PM me to be added to the list. Names will appear in order of messages received.
Since I'm starting this I will pack up a box of pretties from my stash and send to the first person on the list with tracking. I will post a picture of what I put in the box.The first person (we will call them person A) will then go through the box, take what they want from it, add what they have and want to trade then post pictures of their taken and added items.So to protect privacy, person A will refer to our list of names or can PM me for person B's name and then PM them to get their address.I know it's an added step but some will be thankful to protect their privacy. This goes on until everyone has had a chance to make their swaps and the box makes it back to me to complete the circle.
General Rules:
I know there will be a lot of questions regarding fairness of trades as to polish brands/number of polishes. We are working on the honor system.You do participate at your own risk.
When you receive your box please document with two pictures minimum. One of taken Items, One of added items.(that also gets the rest of the participants hyped up for their impending box of goodies)
Please add at least the same number of items you took and be mindful of value (if you are trading a high end for a low end, be aware that some may see it as unfair,so use good judgement, maybe do a couple lower end for a high end). We certainly won't fault you if you want to add more, but we want a full box with a good variety to go to each participant.
You are not limited to only polishes, any nail care or nail art related item is welcome.
Polishes can be unused or gently used, what I mean by that is swatched/used once or twice, don't add any half used polishes from the 90's. Another judgement call here...think about what you want to find when you open the box up.
I do ask that each participant send with tracking. You can post it in the thread for all who want to track the movement of the pretties. Tracking only shows city and state, if it's a problem let the previous person know when you send your address to them.
Also, please package items properly. I understand sometimes the box may need to change because of the items in it, or damage to the box. If you do need to change packaging please repackage so everything makes it safely to the next in line.
Once you receive the box, please get it moving again within a week. Sometimes life happens, just let us know if something prevents timely shipping.
Depending on interest we can make this an ongoing circular.
Let me know with a PM if you want in.
