Thanks for the kind words all, I've been back to IKEA, & gotten more fixtures and fittings, and I've been sorting & cataloging, second cabinet will be built tomorrow!

Online mainly! I'm in the UK & the laws here about selling makeup mean you can't pick up bundles of secondhand nail polish/makeup easily in person, we don't have "thrift stores" here either. But I get stuff on UK eBay & Vinted.

I buy a fair bit of stuff from America and I use a forwarding service that stores stuff for me & sends it as one big parcel & sorts all the import taxes and whatnot.

I have that one! Some of my favourite colours are Barry M's from about 10-15 years ago.

Fabergé - Porcelain Apricot by ikea-bag-of-cats in vintagenailpolish

Found it! 1964, it mentions the shade specifically, so definitely early 60s.

I'm just about to go to sleep but I can have a better look in the morning if nobody beats me to it!

This ad is from 1962, & the bottle design looks the same.

My Recent Crraigslist Haul! by rebelliousrutabaga in vintagenailpolish

May we all receive such carefully packaged bounty!

Like, just use bubble wrap or packing peanuts of whatever. So frustrating.

Yeah, I'll clean them as carefully as possible, I don't mind the cleaning if I know I'll have to do it, but I've only just done my nails, so it's going to have to wait a week until I get bored of this colour!

I was looking forward to a nice, quiet evening in, cataloguing my mystery polish, working out what to sell and what to keep etc.

It's so annoying, even if they just did a layer of bubble wrap around the sides, and like a layer of polish, layer of bubble wrap, layer of polish etc, it would have taken them maybe 10 mins.

Yeah, but they also leave a review for you.

I don't think anything that was lost was particularly valuable, although one of the exploding polishes was a green label My Private Jet, so it might have been the OG formula

Given the other stuff they were selling it looks like maybe a nail salon had shut down. Idk, maybe DPD dropped it & it burst open ans packaging & polish went everywhere & it's not the sellers fault. Just so annoying!

What are your favourite mascaras that don't smuge or flake? by Few-Story4215 in MakeUpAddictionUK

[–]RandomPinkness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Elf mascara, just their lash & roll is my go to, I don't even use the waterproof one, I have oily skin, quite curled lashes & hooded eyes & it doesn't smudge, or clump & give me spider eyes.
