Anybody remember my two broken index fingernails from my Diet Coke addictions? I broke down a little while ago and cut the others (which had gotten really long for the first time in a long, long time) and cut all my nails back as far as I could go. Time for a fresh start and to remember the golden rule: Your Nails Are Jewels, Not Tools!

While I am excited about my voucher I am trying to be paitent and hold off on using it, in hopes that after the boxes ship this month the colors for this month will be available! I am going to try and wait until 10/15 or when boxes start shipping!

Haha I don't blame you! I was sooo tempted and kept filling and unfilling my cart but I am hoping to get Cuff me or like a lady but they are not "availble" yet. Le sigh. If they do not show up I will put them in next month's box or something! I do not want to let a good coupon pass me by!
Can't wait till all you ladies start getting your boxes! I want to see the pretties! And the beauty extras!

I don't know I didn't even try (palms forehead)! Off to try that now.
Thanks for making the papery green stuff fly out of my wallet faster Angi!

Where the new colors still unavailable if you went in through the selection email?

Thanks, Angi, for letting me know I didn't miss anything, reading through all this, about Like A Lady.
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I described Cuff Me as a metallic taupe in my own mind too, though I added the words pink and champagne to it too, because it looks like it has those overtones. Of course, we won't really know until we have it on our nails.

Hey Monika!
Here are some tips on handling awful formulas:
My Central Park Blossom order shipped earlier today, and I'll make sure to post swatches when it comes. I really like the color, and I'll do anything to make its horrid formula work for me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
I'm at coat number 4, and put some Nubar Diamont in between 2 and 3 (I doubt if that helped anything other than getting it to dry and harden a bit so I could do a few things). I pretty certain I still didn't do things thinly enough; and I don't have any matte base (do you mean like a matte topcoat used as a base or do you mean something else?), and I'll need at least a coat 5, and potentially 6. Thank-you very much for the details - I agree it is a beautiful colour. And it will be even better on me, I think, in the dead of Winter or in early Spring when I have no tan. It's just 'that kind' of colour! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'll look forward to seeing your success with it.
Hey Monika!
Here are some tips on handling awful formulas:
- Make sure you apply the polish in very thin layers. Like, the first coat should be barely visible (esp if it's a light polish, like CPB)
- Allow each consecutive layer to dry completely
- For white and bright polishes alternate each color coat with a coat of matte base, it will even out the color and the streaks
- Repeat until desired opacity

Monika, I used a matte topcoat between shades of white, so this is probably what Anastasia meant.

Yay selection time! I chose Cuff Me, Police Box, and Girl on Top. With my voucher, I got Strawberry Fields & Top of the Rock (but had to pay $3.99 for shipping.... oh well). I've been searching for the perfect grey, and I hope TotR is the one. October's gonna be a goooooood polish month!

Richard, will we be able to add on additional boxes?
Hi Jessica,
We are actually holding off on the additional box as we want to wait till Septembers and Octobers boxes have shipped. It wouldn't be appropriate given the recent delays to market an additional box. We will send out an email if we do decided to move forward with the additional box later in October.

I have it here and it is definitely a dark teal green. What I'm wondering about the new selections is this: Is Glitz & Glam a metallic red or a metallic deep dark pink?
Hi there Angie,
Glitz & Glam is more of a metallic raspberry color, hope that helps /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Richard... Could you describe what Glitz 'n Glam looks like? Is it a red, pink, or combination of the two?

Sorry, Richard, I can't stick around tonight. I have to be up early in the am. I'm sure you will answer everything that people are wondering. And I hope you don't scroll past where I nominated GIRL ON TOP to be BONDI's SIGNATURE COLOR, such as NARS Orgasm. Although, the more I look at it, the more Cuff Me (which I described as a mink metallic yesterday) is really going to be a HUGE seller if it swatches as well in real life as it looks on the screen!

This is something that is in the works and something that we know needs to happen, we apologize for the delay as we know this is a very popular request.

Ah yes, you confirm what I suspected - shipping, blech, yuck. Top of the Rock is definitely a beautiful grey colour. It's even better than I expected, and I will be wearing it a lot this Winter, well after I finish doing a whole bunch of manis! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
