Steff, you are killing me!! Im laughing so hard! This is why I love you! 😂 You are so sweet, trying to find things of value in a collection of (yawns)! Apologetically picking through good points that may not even exist because you are SO NICE!!!! The whole Lemming color weirdness, The Red Eyed Laquer name of choice! 😂 Never stop being your authentic self. Your musings make my day!! Thanks for Giving us Joy! ❤🎁🦃
Thank you for making such honest and sincere videos. As a person that does not have a large collection of polishes but wants to start a small collection, your videos are invaluable. 💜
Trish (The polished mage) said lots of makers focus on their own shops in Nov/December because of the holiday sales and BF, and don’t participate in PPU. So, the shop is typically smaller for Dec PPU every year. I must the have DRK magnetic and I may grab some cuticle oil. Thanks for this video! Happy thanksgiving. :)
You have such a good memory for similar polishes! I often see a shade that I *know* I either own or have seen before, but I can rarely actually place it! I am planning to get Moo Deng by Clionadh because I love (a) a neutral base with a colorful shimmer, (b) Clionadh Cosmetics, and (c) Moo Deng herself!
If thermals didn’t die, I’d be all over the Chameleon offering. I’ve settled on Moo Deng, My Ashes After They Cremate Me, Fun Sized, and the sugar scrub. Still debating on The Tie That Binds-it’s my kryptonite color combo.🤦🏾♀️ Thanks for the video-can’t wait to see what my list looks like after this.😆
Was prepared to skip due to Black Friday plans but... I'll prob. squeeze Cuticula and Great Lakes Lacquer into the budget 🤭The rest not so much thankfully, lol. I also was captured by that Paradox magnetic. I'm surprising myself w/ how I'm now getting into magnetics after falling in love w/ ILNP's Amber, but I'm still a newbie and prefer to buy if I like the non-magnetized base color, but can't tell on this one as well what it is... hoping for a live swatch. Once again, love your ruthlessness in culling the wishlist and reminding us that we already "have this at home" or at least at another shop w/ a sale! 😊
I recently got real with myself and I am down to one polish and one top coat. Maybe come spring I’ll be ready for another but for now, I’m happy with one. 😬
I might end up getting the sugar scrub for the scent, and a couple of nail polish… but fully plan on digging up some oldie from my stash to re-wear this holiday season ❤ (I’ve already got KB Shimmer Kind of a Big Dill picked out)
Thank you! These videos always help me think it out and go through what polishes make sense for my collection 💪🥰 My top pick is Jen & Berries- definitely getting that one. Other top maybes are Sassy Sauce, Garden Path, Painted, BKL and Clionadh (hard to resist Moo Deng inspo lol), KB, Rogue and Chameleon. 🤦🏻♀️😂 Paint it Pretty and Phoenix are also sweet. At first glance I didn’t think I was into this month, but upon further investigation, I am buying 😂 I’m also sensitive to strong vanilla, I have to smell it in person first. Thanks Again!!! ❤️💕
I’m getting garden path, painted polish, DRK, and Cadillacquer. Those purples with blue shimmer are my kryptonite and I’ve added and removed the alchemy from my wishlist so many times already lol. I think you are right about the painted polish! The maker said in the fb group that it’s a sibling polish to live laugh lava.
I have the bcb color in my wishlist and a few others that I have to narrow down lol. Thanks for making these wishlist videos, it really helps to see what is dupable 😊
I haven't bought anything from PPU, HHC, or LBH for several months. I think this month I'm going to get a couple of polishes and that kbshimmer scrub. That Chameleon thermal is just delightful and not like anything I have.
lmao, the "die mad" by js manmade is a makeup pouch that has been offered a few times in PPU. it always sells out ridiculously fast because, well, it's an amazing print and they use the rainbow metal zipper too. i am very tempted by the red eyed lacquer! but i will for sure be getting the kb shimmer scrub and the great lakes lacquer polish, it's on the busy side, but the sparkles look insane.
You are definitely the Comparison Queen!!! You have such a good eye and memory for these polishes. I have Cuticula, DRK and Monarch on my list. We'll see if any of them make the final cut. Thx as always for the video. 😊
Me: "I'm skipping PPU for December because I spent to much for bf" My husband: "Have you even considered that we need the two Moo Deng polishes?!" I love greys but I was showing great restraint until my husband brought it up, so he's impatiently awaiting the shop opening this month instead of me 🙃😂
KBS Not Snow Fast reminds me of their past RV There Yet! I'm leaning toward sitting this one out. I'm interested in NOL, Rogue, and Sassy Cats BUT - NOL has others on their site I want more... I hardly wear flakey bombs (Rogue) and I'm not confident that Sassy Cats would flatter my own skin, even if its beautiful and looks like jade. SO. Going to think on it but probably pass this month. Thanks for sharing your views, love to see mindful shopping, especially this time of year. ✨
Not to tempt you, but I have a magnetic from Paradox “Tucking Myself In” from July Rewind/originally from Sleepover in March 24 And it is soooo good! It’s basically a blurple version of the one for December. I’m ordering the Psilocybin Trio from Clionadh so I’ll be passing on it. From PPU, I’m ordering Vanilla Birch Scrub & Vibrant Scents Tipsy Gingerbread Top Coat. I messaged the maker because the notes for the top coat were vague on PPU the scent notes are apples, coconut, ginger, clove, cinnamon, rum, vanilla silk, cocoa.
I really enjoy your wishlist videos, the brutal cutting you do is an inspiration. I have BCB and KBS scrub on my list. I really want the Chamaeleon and I think I’ll like it in whatever shade it dies in. But do I need another thermal? Definitely not.
This was so fun! If you don’t want to change your mind then don’t watch Mercedes. I was so tempted by some of them. I’ve made up my mind though, I’m skipping this month. I’ve seen WFLs offering for Jan, which will be under their new name, and I want it. I want to go to fb groups but I’m stopping myself, so far. Let’s stay strong together!❤
The KB Shimmer, Lemming, Lyn B, and Wildflower got me this month lol. I have gone too crazy on BF sales (since this is my first year participating in them) and I was hoping to be more limited on PPU, but have not done well...
I’m getting PPU this month basically for Sugar Bubbles plate so it needs a friend to travel with. I’m deciding on if that’s going to be Cuticula, Red Eyed Lacquer (the name is worth it 😂) or Sassy Sauce
I kinda feel like moving PPU to Black Friday is a bit of a fail. I know they said it was to give makers a break around the holidays but I would have preferred they delayed shipping. Unless they are also doing a BF sale I don’t get it.🤷♀️
Ahhh! I have so many but I already am getting a lot in Black Friday sales! My possible list: Chameleon “Winter Retreat” Glisten & Glow “Sugar & Spice and Everything Nice”, (I know I have dupes but I am a 🤡 ) (Your layering HT “SolarUnicorn Skin” over “Fairy Tale was GORGEOUS!) Garden Path “The Ties that Bind”, Kathleen & Co “The Murmmer’s Dance”, Lemming “Paw Prints uphotos are WILD! Moonshine Many “Seemingly Possessed by the Christmas Spirit”, Painted Polish “Pining for You” I also died laughing at REL “Die Mad You Salty Bitch” and I too, have no idea what it is about. And: Bees Knees “Prettiest Girl in the World” Cliondah “Moo Deng” Rogue “Glacial”. *Ralph Wiggum voice* I’m in Danger! Edited to add: YAY TO THE SWATCH VIDEO💃🏿
Omg this is such a gorgeous potential haul!! I totally get prioritizing other BF sales though haha. And nooo definitely not a 🤡🤣!! Also wait how cute Clionadh is making a Moo Deng polish 🥹🦛
I’m definitely committed to using my toppers more to try to re-create wishlist polishes! Speaking of wish list.. I’m relatively new to Indie polish and would love to hear your favorite nail care/swatching/organization essentials. Do you use a vortex? Prefer clear or opaque swatch sticks? Storage tips? All recommendations welcome! Thanks!
"I feel like I'm reading another language" "I feel like I don't understand what I'm reading" 🤣 All I usually see is OOH, pretty color, wait, do I have something like this? Would I ACTUALLY wear it? 🤭 Thank you for keeping all of your inner thoughts and reactions in here! & NO, I don't think you're color blind cus I think that swatch picture at 9:50 was way different than the other swatch pictures for some reason. 🤷♀
I’ve been eyeing the Great Lakes Lacquer but I need to see more swatches before I commit. The swatches on the PPU website are great but the ones on the PPU FB page seem to vary significantly
I really wanted Moonblossom but I decided to pass on it bc I plan to get at least 5 polishes from BKL and Dany Vianna black friday and I also got some from Cirque, it's too much I had to stop myself from spending more
yes i should’ve added a note in the intro for *except this month lol. they’re doing it a week early so the makers aren’t shipping so close to end of December holidays!

that makes sense!! so glad you enjoyed, Happy Thanksgiving! 🤎

I am planning to get Moo Deng by Clionadh because I love (a) a neutral base with a colorful shimmer, (b) Clionadh Cosmetics, and (c) Moo Deng herself!
I second all of this.😊
Im skipping again! Glad you left the confusion in, it’s how i feel a lot of the time 😂
yay congrats on skipping!! i always consider that a win 😁 and LOL glad its not just me, i was really struggling this video 🤣
If thermals didn’t die, I’d be all over the Chameleon offering. I’ve settled on Moo Deng, My Ashes After They Cremate Me, Fun Sized, and the sugar scrub.

I loved your reaction to Die Mad 😂 I hope you came across the bag under miscellaneous for the reference

that’s super impressive!!

Everyone is sleeping on lavender field! That one has stolen my heart. 😂
I definitely skipped over it but saw it in Mercedes video and it’s beautiful for sure!! 🥹🪻💚
@ thank you! Justice for lavender field! 😂😂

@ Moo Deng has my heart 😭😭🥹🥹

I live both interpretations of Moo Deng ❤ I think I need Red Eyed Lacquers cuticle balm.
Ah I only see the one from Clionadh, but it’s cute!! I’ve yet to try the Red Eyed balm but it sounds lovely 😍

This month is an easy skip for me. Actually the past several months have been a pass. I’ve seen it all already 🙊
right?? its good for our wallets at least 😅
I actually have a few polishes picked out. BCB lacquer, Cuticula, Rogue and Glisten and Glow
those are gorgeous!
The Lumen looks like a dupe for Holo Taco's Crystal Mommy shade. I debated getting the Lumen but I have HT so I might skip but ahhhh I can't decide!
omg duh! yeah can totally see that, i think its similar enough its worth skipping!
No PPU for me. I plan on shopping from Great Lakes Laquer on black Friday. Two or three polishes on my list.
So fun!! 🤩 I don’t plan on grabbing GLL but would love to peep what they have 👀
Quince rhymes with since. I think it’s more popular in the UK. I’m pretty sure you can only eat it cooked.
gotcha! so intriguing
Isn't it weird that it's this friday? Shouldn't it have been next friday? It's still november
I think they're doing it early due to end of year holidays
Its early this month to give makers a break for the holidays.
yes i should’ve added a note in the intro for *except this month lol. they’re doing it a week early so the makers aren’t shipping so close to end of December holidays!
@@PolishedYogi that's not ypur fault! Sorry for the tone! I was just confused in my planning lol
