That's the kind of person that KarenD from Frazzle and Aniploish is...
Karen had in a comment written that she would like to get some Catrice polishes, so I wrote that I was heading for a one-day trip to Germany, so I could get her some. She made a wish list of 8, and I said we could swap more if she wanted, but no, that was it, so of they went as soon as I was home again...
Karen gave me some brand names and I made a few wishes, and said that she could choose the rest. And one day the mail man brought 17 polishes from Karen - yes 17!!!
I emailed her and said that I probably owed her some money for all those nice goodies - and she replied: Absolutely not - it's the same price to ship that kind of mailer no matter what it weighs, so after I put in the bottles I'd bought for you, I filled the rest of the space with things from my swap boxes that have been hanging around my house being ignored for way too long.
Thanks a million Karen, you are simply the best!
And here they are:
 |
| Julie G: Fierce & Fab - a neon purple, My Horoscope Says - a metallic fuchsia, Fairytale - a lavender and Gelato In Venice - a mint green |
 |

 |
| Milani Chocolate Sprinkles - a dark brown with golden shimmer and Sail Away - a blue jeans/denim sort of blue with shimmer |
 |
| Confetti: Happy Birthday - a gorgeous dark purple with a lot of lovely shimmer going on, To Teal To Handle - a teal with a subtle shimmer, Spoiled: First Class Only - a medum blue with a lot of shimmer and Are Mermaids Real? - a grape purple with a lot of sand and gold shimmer |
 |
| Hedy's oke.doke: Camo Loco - a mossy/olive/army kind of metallic green with shimmer, Steal This Teal - MUCH darker IRL, kind of dark, dusty grey/green/blue with shimmer and finally Purple Nurple - a eggplant purple (also darker than shown) with delightful shimmer in it! |
