YAAAY they are all sent! Wendy is going to be handling them (I had transactions with her before and I have no complaints; she also is used to handling big orders like this). Her MUA username is iconnu77, but I know her from facebook. I have packed each order separately, with the MUA username of the buyer. I am sending her the list of MUA usernames and paypal emails, so she will be able to collect shipping money. If anyone wants to track the package, here it is: EB017165817BR.

I have paid R$237,00 for shipping, which I'll divide by the number of orders, and invoice you guys.

KT and Duffimac, if you are reading this: I have not been able to send your packages along because they didn't fit in the biggest box I had, but I will send them on Tuesday and send you the tracking info. Since it's just these two packages, I will send them directly to you, and pay for half the shipping.


Again, I'm really sorry for all the inconvenience this has caused you, and I hope you can enjoy the polishes once they arrive there.

Merry Christmas :)

updates: there are too many polishes! lol
I'm still packing everything, but I already found someone to whom I can send everything and I really really hope I'll be able to do that this week!

Sunday, December 11, 2011

so this is what's happening: I'm going to find someone to whom I can ship all of the Hits this week. and I will refund all Ludurana multichrome orders. I am really really sorry for all of the hassle but I really don't want to have any more trouble with this Ludurana thing. I know I brought it on myself, but it's more than I can handle and I am sorry.
Refunds are going on right now.

Tuesday, December 6, 2011

Okay. Please try not to hate me, pretty please?

I don't know when Luduranas are coming. I got the holos, I have nothing on the multichromes. I can't even find them in stores! HOWEVER. Hits has just released a multichrome collection. It has 8 colors and I know it's 6mL, buuuut I'm pretty sure I won't have major production problems with them. so I was thinking...what do you think of exchanging your Luduranas multichrome for 2 Hits multichrome each, free of charge?

you can see more photos and info here:





SWATCHES:











If you're game, I'm going to see if I can cancel the Ludurana order and order the Hits ASAP!
I am really REALLY sorry for all the trouble, and if you want, feel free to ask for a refund. but I'm really trying to work things out here, so thank you for the patience!

I am a tool. 15 weeks???? I'm pretty sure I meant 15 days instead!
I have one solution and would like to know what you all think. for those in the US, I can ship all the Hits now, and the Luduranas later.
for those outside US, the same, or you can wait a bit more, since there aren't many distributors out there.

I have already shipped two or three orders that required separate shipping, and were Hits only orders.

If you decide I should ship all Hits now, I can probably do it by the end of the week. let me know!

(anyone knows how can I post a poll here? lol)

Wednesday, November 23, 2011


you are all so great! <3 thanks for bearing with me!
I'm really really overwhelmed with work and college right now but will do my best to send out packages that won't split shipping and are all Hits, my swaps and everything until Saturday!
if I'm forgetting something, please send me a message or sth like that!
also...I heard Luduranas will resume production within 15 weeks (for the backordered ones) so hopefully we'll see them soon!
also, I wanted to share this:
Extra polishes I have bought! (the RAOK ones)
I think I still have to buy 10 or 15 more, but there they are...hope you like them!

and thanks again for the patience! :DD

Saturday, November 19, 2011

well, you all want shipping info and I can't give you that if not everyone has paid. I will send PM's on MUA for everyone who hasn't paid yet, and if they don't answer by Thursday, they are out (though I will still have their polishes :\)
I'm expecting Luduranas for the next week, hopefully, so I will be able to ship everything soon! :DDD

so sorryyyy!!!

Wednesday, November 9, 2011

updates, as requested!
A few people haven't paid yet; therefore, I can't calculate shipping yet.
Also, no words yet on the rest of Ludurana orders (there were 3 backordered) so I'm still waiting...
all Hits are here, and I'm already separating the orders of everyone who's already paid. if your order doesn't have Ludurana and you don't want to split shipping, I will try to send it to you by Friday!

also...I just got a job! :D that is aweeesome, as I will have money to buy more np! lol
but it also means that I'll only have weekends to organize everything, seeing as I'm still in college and I study at night. I really apologize for taking so long, but there are things that just aren't in my power.

Finally, everyone who has ordered 6 or more bottles will receive a random extra polish :)
(this is something I can only do on weekends as well - polish hunting :( )
- if you are doing a group order, let me know how many girls are in there!)

don't worry, everything will be sent, either by me on Saturdays, or my mom or sister on week days! If anyone wants to, feel free to ask me for a photo with your order so far (without the Luduranas) ^^

that's it!
thanks, again, for the patience!

xoxo

Friday, November 4, 2011

YAAAY I just bubble wrapped the first paid order :D now there's only a LOT more to go...lol
wish me luck!





polish porn, because someone requested it :)
I'm opening the Hits one by one to see if there are any wonky brushes T__T'

Thursday, November 3, 2011

Hits have arrived :D

YAY! I will be receiving them tomorrow, so it'll take a few days to count everything and start separating orders! I still have to go buy the extras everyone ordered too!
I believe I have invoiced everyone already; if you haven't received one, please check spam, and if it's still not there, email me please :)
also, a lot of people have already paid, but there are others that didn't; I ask to please pay it as soon as possible, because otherwise I won't be able to send everything together for the distributors, and shipping would be higher! :)
thanks so much for all of your patience! :)

xoxo

Mah

Friday, October 28, 2011

I'm so tireeeed! Everything's been quite hectic on college so I haven't been able to invoice everyone yet!
but there's only a couple of people left! I'll get to you, I promise!
In the meanwhile...a few of the Luduranas have arrived! \o/ now I'm waiting for Hits (probably next week) and the second batch of Luduranas, since 3 are backordered.

again, thank you for the patience! I am thinking of a way to thank you properly ;)

Tuesday, October 25, 2011

Hi ya'll! everything's been ordered, I've been counting everything and you will receive an invoice by the end of this week, for the cost of polishes only! I'm working with distributors to estimate shipping costs :D
Next week I'll go hunting down the ones you ordered extra, like Hits Glitter Forte and Sancion Angels :)

thanks!

yaaaaaaay!
they've been ordered today and i'll know about the hits ones tomorrow, but i think they are in as well!! hopefully by christmas everyone will be wearing holos lol

i'm without internet connection on my pc today, so i'll start invoicing everyone by the weekend! thanks for the patience, as always!

quick update

Hi there :) I was told we will be able to order this week or next. I'm so sorry it's taking so long!
also, if you want to contact me about anything, please do so by sending me an email on sparksfeather@gmail.com
I'll be checking MUA only to wrap up my pending swaps, and I plan on abandoning the other nb as well. I don't feel safe posting on those places anymore so I'm just gonna lay low.
thank you again for your patience!

xoxo

Mah

Wednesday, October 12, 2011

hey girls! just wanted to let you know that I'll invoice everyone as soon as I get confirmation of the order! we're still working on it because apparently Ludurana wasn't prepared enough, due to expensive pigments and stuff...
thank you everyone for your patience!

xoxo

Mah


ps: can you please keep your eyes out for ChG Spellbound for me? :) I lost one last week on a blogsale and I'm devastated...I've been checking ebay, muablogsales, polishsale and maccosmetics but no luck yet. thank you again!

Wednesday, October 5, 2011

Hey girls! Is it okay if I invoice you this week? My father is hesitant because the total order is VERY expensive and now my mother says I'll ruin the whole family if I do this wrong ;___;' (Seriously...I am ordering close to 50 bottles of Zeus alone!)
let me know, okay?
thanks for the patience!

Tuesday, October 4, 2011

Hi there! So, I just finished counting everything and OH MY you guys want A LOT of polishes! I'm overwhelmed with how much this will all cost :o

Just wanted to let you know that I'll do my best to order them tomorrow! :)

Sunday, October 2, 2011

hey girls! I had a few problems with my internet connection this weekend, but now the form is officially closed! I'm going to be counting everything to order most likely until the middle of this week...
I heard that there's an online shop selling the Hits collection for $10 each and reasonable shipping...
I really need to know if anyone else is dropping off the group buy, so I don't get stuck with all those polishes :)
please comment here if you want out....no hard feelings! ;)
otherwise I'll just assume you still want them, okay?
thanks!

Tuesday, September 27, 2011

deadline is this Friday, Sept. 30th.

Have you guys filled out the form yet? don't forget the deadline is this Friday, September 30th! :)


fyi, even though the Brazilian post office is still on strike but packages are still going through, it just takes longer :(

thank you for our patience! :D

Rivka UV Mood Polishes

I found a video of them!!


[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c49N00N5wT0&feature=colike[/youtube]

aweeesome! they are priced the same as the holos but they come with 15 mL :D
and in the end of the video you can see how they look like alone (swatches in the middle), over a red polish and over a blue one!

just wanted to share!
these will also be available to the group order ^^

Saturday, September 17, 2011

new form! :)

I forgot to post here :o totally overwhelmed with college right now, sorry!
here's the new form! will be open until the end of the month! and fyi, the brazilian post office is on strike, but hopefully not for long! I'll keep you posted!

Tuesday, September 13, 2011

about shipping

$85 if the package is up to 30kg.
$45 if the package is up to 20kg.
prices for USA addresses only. I still have to see about the other countries.
idk how much nail polish weights cause I don't have a scale at home, but I guess I can fit A LOT OF polishes until it reaches 30kg, huh?
a couple of girls dropped out of the distributor thing, so I'm looking for more. shipping would depend on how many polishes the girls order, though...idk if we should split shipping accordingly with how many polishes you bought or if we split it even.
ideas, suggestions?
thanks!

Information on the Brazilian polishes


Prices:

Hits - 6mL
Holographic collection: $6.50 each (13 colors)
Flakies collection: $4.50 each (12 colors)
Verniz Balada (the nail polish that glows under black light! - picture here): $2.50 each

Rivka
Holographic collection: $8.50 each (10 colors) - 10mL
Mood polishes (they change color when under UV light - sunlight): $8.50 each (5 colors) - 15mL

Ludurana - 8mL
Holographic collection: $10 each (6 colors)
Multichrome collection: $10 each (6 colors)
Flakie collection: $3.00 each (7 colors)


btw, I KNOW Luduranas are very expensive, but I really can't get around them no more...they are being sold at a ridiculous price! IMHO, they are worth it, though...even my father liked to stare at my nails this morning! besides, they aren't too sheer...2 coats will do for most of them, and you can always layer them :)

I won't be able to sell them at wholesale prices because I will be "losing" money in two ways: first when you pay me via Paypal (PP fees) and later when I transfer the money from my PP account into my bank account. I am really sorry about this, but it is necessary so I won't have to pay money from my own pocket to sell you these. I am not looking for profit, but I need a small margin due to shipping materials as well as Paypal fees. Thanks for understanding!

Hi girls! So, we kinda lost our New England distributor...anyone up for that task?

also, I was thinking maybe it's better if you send me the money in Brazilian Reais (R$)... would that be okay with you? I figured, since you are all paying with paypal, the conversion wouldn't be a problem...
please let me know! :)

and here's a little something for you: DS Original has a dupe (or a really close brother) in Brazil :) It's called Purple Addict and it belongs to the new Sancion Angel collection!

I still don't know the prices for this new SA polish but I will find out on Saturday! I'm so excited :DD

new swatches of the Hits collection :)





First of all, I want to make it clear that these are NOT my photos, okay?
they are watermarked, so if you are interested, you can check out their blogs as well :)

Starting with a general photo:


2 coats each, no top coat!

Hefesto is the holographic top coat ;)

Here are a few more pictures of each polish, in shadow and sun. Again, NOT my pictures ;)

Hefesto:

Artemis: three coats; according to Kelly, it was very sheer.

Hermes: three coats, very sheer.

Poseidon: three coats, but two will do.

Héstia: two coats.

Afrodite: she says it's very sheer and she didn't like it because it's not very holo like the others ;) three coats.

Deméter: three coats.

Atena: it really looks like a DS polish, doesn't it? :D three coats.

Ares: three coats

Dionísio:

Hera:

Comparison: Hera x DV8 x Hera x Hera

Apolo:

Comparison: Apolo x Glamour x Apolo

Zeus:


whoooa that's a lot of pictures ;)
If you like them, please take some time to go to http://esmaltesdakelly.blogspot.com/ and http://claudinhastoco.virgula.uol.com.br/ and thank them ^^

Kelly says they have a jelly finish, are very much alike DS polishes and the brush is amazing :D
no top coat was used and she usually did three coats.


so...which ones are your favorites? :)

Changes in the group order

With all these great releases coming up in the next two weeks, it was decided that the group order would be arranged AFTER Beauty Fair :) so everyone would have some time to take a look at swatches and decide without rush what you're going to get.
That also gives us some time to better organize distributors and shipping issues! :)
I won't delete the old form, but I will make a new one right after I show you everything there is to choose! :D
I hope you are all okay with that, and I'm really sorry for causing anyone any inconvenience. If you still wish to order some polishes and pay for shipping yourself, please contact me and I'll see what I can do for you ^^

thanks for understanding!

just a thought....if everything really do work out perfectly...would everyone mind leaving me a token on MUA? lol

Hits holos MUA group order!



Hi lovely NBers! :) Please read everything, okay? ^^
I have a lot of people interested in the holos and I have never done a group order, so any suggestion is greatly appreciated!

Firstly, the polishes: Hits holographic collection, called "Hits no Olimpo". They are named after greek gods and there are 13 colors in it.


I suck at describing colors, but I can tell you that Hefesto is supposed to be a holo top coat, instead of a white holo like Light as a Feather!

Hits polishes come with 6 mL in a roundish bottle! They will retail for ~$6.50. I know, it's expensive, it's too little volume...but if you think about it, it's kinda the same as Glitter Gal holos, isn't it?
oh, and I think they are not B3F, just so you know...

EDIT: The company has just stated that this collection will be core! :DDD
They will be released at our version of Cosmoprof in September 10th, and I'll be able to go! If I have a lot of orders, I can buy wholesale and knock off a dollar of the value....also, yours would be guaranteed because I wouldn't have to chase them around :)
I think each box comes with 6 polishes. If I buy the whole collection it would be 78 polishes/6 collections. I can also buy more of one particular color if you guys like them more.

So, $6.50 for each polish. how about shipping, you ask?
well, I know shipping to the US is $23 under 500g and $27 under 1kg. I think these won't be as heavy because they are not big, but I'll have to check how many I can fit in one box!
Shipping to other places will have to be checked later but I warn you: it is most probably not cheap.
There are girls who will be acting as distributors in US! They are:


periwinkle2/ Joanna will be in charge of the West Coast and the following states:

California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Montana, Hawaii, Alaska

Laurel is covering the Central US and the following states:
Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Nebraska, N&S Dakota, Missouri, Mississippi, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Kansas

littlemitzik/ Kim :-) and dtomero/ Deanna will be handing the East Coast and the following states:

Kim- Alabama, Georgia, Florida, N&S Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, W Virginia.

Deanna- Maryland, DC, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine.


Payment would be via Paypal and I'm working on calculating fees :(

I can also send individually if you prefer...but please understand if I take a while, since I'm only one ;)
aahh, one important thing as well: I always send pictures of what I got you! :) and shipping has tracking code! :D

hmm...just one more thing.

If you happen to have ChG Spellbound or if you find it...I would totally send you like...any Brazilian polishes you want in exchange of that!! :DD hehe
(oh...and please be reasonable. like...5 would be acceptable, wouldn't you think? ;)

so, if you got this far and if you're still interested, please fill this form by SEPTEMBER 4TH: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFFtc2tMTGMyci1faV9UekxoNC00LVE6MQ

Father's Day NOTD

Hi there! :)
Tomorrow is Father's Day here in Brazil! My dad loves owls....he has a small collection! So I thought I could show him I think of him by doing this:

Base color is Hits Luísa (dries matte, but I love it with top coat). Wings and face is Hits Filippa, nose is Colorama Atrevida and cute dots on wings are CND Urban Oasis :))

I think he liked it because he smiled when he saw my nails :D

have you ever tried animals nail art? I would love to see some ^-^

Lynnderellas!

I am completely in love with Gotta Have Brains! 
(not my pic)
It reminds me a bit of DL Glitter in The Air, but it looks so much better! Way more glitter per coat and lovely lovely colors! And I absolutely LOVED the name hahaha



You can buy Lynnderella's frankens here :) they are very very LE so keep an eye out for when she comes back with sales!

NOTD :)

Hi there! Sooo....it seems stupid to start a blog just for sales, so I think I might be posting NOTD's regularly as well =))
this is, obviously, before cleanup...but I think I'm getting better at not painting my fingers as well :) I'll post a better picture tomorrow, with natural lighting :))
inspiration from here: http://lyndarthemerciless.blogspot.com/2011/03/talon-tastic-thursday-sophisticated.html
and of course hers look way much better hahaha

This is two coats Impala Crochê with gold glitter also from Impala on the tips, dragging to the middle of the nail ^_^

thanks for looking!

Rivka holographic collection :)

This collection has 10 colors; they are all named after Gossip Girl or Sex & The City characters! Rivka is like the Brazilian Zoya, always naming polishes after women names! :)


1- Carrie – magenta with a hint of lilac. Reminds me of ChG BFF.
2- Blair 
– orangey pink, kinda coral. Reminds me of ChG TTYL.
3- Miranda – silver grey holo goodness. cousin to ChG OMG and likes.
4- Georgina 
– hot pink holo, reminds me of ChG QT.
5- Charlotte – a very light purple, leaning towards pink.
6- Jenny – the one I like the most! It's a charcoal grey holo, lighter than CC Revvvolution.
7- Samantha – a gorgeous deep teal shimmer. holo effect is not really noticeable on this one but it's still a wonderful color.
8- Serena – a light turquoise holo.
9- Vanessa – yellowed green holo. reminds me of ChG L8R G8R.
10- Lilly – very light blue holo.

Color descriptions from Unha Bonita.
