I almost got that Night Owl polish but ended up passing on it. It’s so hard to choose. Personally, I’m on a no buy with the exception of PPU. Suppose that’s actually a low buy, but I told myself no other purchases outside of PPU at least until Nov/Dec. Realistically it will be hard to resist around the holidays so I’ll go back to it at the start of the new year. Thanks for sharing your list and feel better soon!

My addiction are audio books 😁. I ended up getting the sugar bubble plate. Feeling guilty since I haven’t been doing any nail art lol. I also purchased the Cadi. Hope you are feeling much better.

I am a huge reader so anything inspired by books is my lodestone. I am trying not to get swayed by favourite books and catchy titles and sticking to colour ways that appeal. I am also trying to avoid duplicates and rabbit holes. I am glad there is a week or so to calm down!

I agree! Listening to audiobooks IS reading, too! 💖 This month’s PPU not only has me with a long wishlist, but with a long “to be read” list, too! 😂 We matched up this month on the NOL and the Garden Path Lacquer. I have to thank you for drawing my attention to the stamping plates this month… I hadn’t looked at them in the listings… this video is my first glimpse! Both of the plates you’ve wishlisted are outstanding! I promised myself I wouldn’t buy any stamping plates until I use what I have, but these look too perfect to pass up! On a side note, I’ve never read Sarah J. Maas, and I think it’s time I dive in! Thanks for sharing your picks this month! I’m glad that you’re feeling better! 💛

low energy or hi energy i don't mind at all! i just like to spend time with you and hear your thoughts on polish. 😚

I like your picks. Polished For Days is the one close to the Red Eye, I love it too but I know they are close. I also want the Garden Path, you have a good point about it maybe being too warm.

I'm struggling big time because of the inspirations so I should channel my inner Carolina and just focus on the polishes themselves :D

I hope that you feel better soon ❤ I think that zombie claw is going to sell out quick.

Hey Carolina, hope you are feeling better and get well soon! I’m having such a hard time pinning down what to get this month, I just keep going back and forth on a lot of polishes! I think it’s throwing me off that PFD’s isn’t participating this month, I at least always know I’m getting that one!😄 I know for sure I’m getting the Cuticula, I think it’s absolutely stunning and I have nothing quite like it! I think it has the potential to be like Battle of the Boxes and people will regret not getting it!

I have Cuticula, NOL, Red Eyed Lacquer, & Sugar Bubbles plate. TFS & hope you feel better soon!

I will be skipping. I want the psyche minerals to go with my other ghastly smell siblings. But I'm purpled out.

I’m so happy we were able to meet in person!! It was a blast that weekend!! I wish we had more time!

I ordered the Vanessa Molina -Fishnet Stockings. I think it's darker than those... I'll see in person, haha 😂. I think the components do look similar enough. This Rewind was my biggest haul yet. I skipped this Vanessa Molina polish last time, so I didn't skip for "Rewind". I think it's nice you're sharing possible dupes or at least something that could possibly satisfy (if owned).

I love that polish, "Deadliest One of All" It's so pretty on. It was in the "Deadly Plants PPU" when I bought it. I love your joy from meeting everyone. I love your nails and spirit! God bless you and your family Carolina! Enjoy your new purchases. I'm excited to see your future manicures. 🤗❤💅🏽

You are so cute! Knowing you have been to PBE and should of had a plan - totally something I would do. The Polished Mage is so beautiful and seems so sweet. Don't you just hate people like that. 😉 - Just kidding. I have to get there one year. It would be exciting meeting everyone that you watch and chit chat with. The polishes are a PLUS! La Tannya's Dirty Pole😂😂😂 You picked up some amazing polishes!

Im so happy that I get to see you face to face at least once a year although I wish it could be more. I love your haul. Even the dupes. Next year we will say we see going to do better but we won’t. 😂😂 Anyway love you tons and can’t wait to do it again.

So glad to see you had a good time despite the lack of sleep and headache. I went for the first time last year, and now I'm thinking I need to go again next year.

Sometimes the best made plans go out the window when polish is concerned! Great haul!

What is your preferred method of destashing? Do you sell them on an app like Mercari or eBay or do you use the destashing groups?

So many beautiful polishes, but you do have a type!😅

It was a dream to meet you in person! I wish we would have had someone slow mo film our running hug! I’m so grateful I finally got to meet you and can’t wait until next year. We’re going to have so much fun!

Some gorgeous polishes💕 Water balloon fight so lovely🥰 which one to wear first🤣

I totally saw you and polished with rae walking around but I was in line at the time 😅 I felt like I didn't have the time to talk to anyone this year, only Hillary and a few subscribers, but I hope to see you there again in the future. So sorry you were having a headache and not so great sleep but so happy you had a great time! Happy Birthday by the way ❤❤❤ I also stopped at copacetic and grabbed 8 gorgeous shadows. And omg congrats on your win!!!!! I didn't realize it was you! I won the VIP bag in the raffle and am still totally stoked 😃💕 and LMAO I am totally that awkward person too 😂😂😂 omgosh so relatable love this video ❤❤❤❤

You are so excited, you’re too cute!! I want to make it to this at some point, looks so fun. Lots of pretty polishes.

Oh wow Carolina, that’s amazing that you won a free trip back to the Expo next year, congratulations!! I can’t even begin to imagine how fun it was to be in a ginormous room filled with the most beautiful polishes in the world, and better yet, being able to experience that with some of your best nail polishes friends, so fun! If I ever get to go, I’d definitely have to have a polish by polish game plan written down or I’d for sure go off the rails!😂 You got so many beautiful polishes, can’t wait to see them on you!😊

I got a little teary when you were talking about polish friendships being about more than nail polish. Next year I need to stick to my list of what tables I’m visiting. Although, there wasn’t enough time for all of them! Hard decisions have to be made 😭 😂. Also - I want VIP next year.

Yeah, I had to pick up the PFD too. I was going to get the topper but I ordered mine from cracked polish. I also bought two bottles of shake your shamrock ☘️ from rewind 😂

omg i cannot stop staring at your nails. the promo pics for tea time weren't calling to me at all, but while watching this i ran to purchase from a destash. i also just bought the similar kbshimmer polish you mentioned because it was only $5. but its looking like ill be destashing it and keeping this WFL too 🤣

I have watched all the PBE Reports that so far showed up on my subscription list and the overall happiness is infectious. Of course I couldn‘t be there but you all shared your experiences and your happiness to have met each other so vividly, it gave me a feeling of having been there myself. As for your polish purchases: I haven‘t spent less than any of you, I sure compensated myself for not being there 🤣💸💸💸🫣🙄. Thanks for sharing, it was wonderful to watch 💖

This was great. I loved seeing your excitement!!!

How did that heel stick end up working out for you? I wasn’t quick enough to get the paradox 😣

I'm planning to go next year. So hopefully looking forward to meeting another dominican in the community. Also your curly hair is beautiful.

It was so nice to finally meeting you. You are the sweetest! I can not wait to see you again next year!

Isn’t it amazing how love for polish creates meaningful friendships!?

Omg you’re so cute and gushing about everyone you met. That’s so amazing to get to meet so many lovely people you’ve built relationships with in the flesh! What a great feeling! Anyway, thanks for this, your happiness is palpable and I needed this because I have been feeling all doom and gloom lately re: the state of the world. Just trying to say that your energy brought much needed levity to my mental health! And I love nail polish!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Aww man, you met sooooo many good people! I need to make myself remember to go! How fun!!

Yay, so happy you shared your pbe haul with us! PBE was like Trick or Treating for my sister and I. We felt like little kids when we got back to our hotel with our bags of polishes and compared and swapped! So fun! Hope to see you again next year! 😊

4:37 "My name is like, err, HI" 💀🤣🤣 I relate to this so much lol I'd be a useless puddle of embarrassment at a meet & greet

So funny thing. I also duped myself 🤦🏼‍♀️

Ohhhh that Wildflower 🤤 Okay I also love the Morgan Taylor Tag You're It. That is VIBRANT!

Novamelon is one of the prettiest polishes ever! I was very disappointed in Astrobright though. I was really excited about that one.

Oh wow, you got so many great polishes in this haul!

Moonlit was a typo. She said you could message her and get a correct label, the next you ordered. The Polished for Days are gorgeous. I love the Morgan Taylor polishes too. I had to pick up a few of those also.

Muy bonitos todos los esmaltes! A mi me paso lo mismo con Batsy! También lo separe pero yo solo le puse muy poquito para que quedara el efecto que buscaba

You picked some great ones! Good look on the FL purchase! That color is beautiful! TFS!

Wow that was one awesome polish purchase month! Aaaargh that PFD Collection!!! I could get only one and went with Cadillacquer, now I regret. (Not that the Cadillacquer wouldn‘t be amazing) but Glowstick and Baja Blasted probably have to get added to my collection 🤩

Wow congrats on getting that WFL! That box is also the one that got away from me. I’ve picked up the LynB from a destash so far 🤞🏼

I feel your excitement, I bought both day/night glo collections! I do need either PFD or Cracked black flakie topper. I already wore Baja Blasted & it is already a favorite 🤩 They are all so worth it. TFS & enjoy! ☺️

I love your happiness and giddy response to all these beautiful polishes! ❤ I’ve got to wear the 3 PFD’s Day Glo polishes that I still have not worn and some of the newer ones before the Summer is gone!!

I think she mentioned (pFD) it's a typo and if you wanted a different sticker to let her know. Would love to see the dreamland comparison on you as we might be similar tones. I got DYS this time cause everyone kept talking about and I need to know the hype.
