I'm going to apologize in advance, I didn't take any pictures with my digital camera. I used my cell phone instead as I was spending time with my family watching movies and didn't want to forget to take pictures.
Several months ago I saw the press release for the Essence Vampire's Love collection. I commented on the post another blogger made, and she instantly offered to get them for me if she was able to find 2 sets (one for her & one for myself). In the states, we rarely get the collections and if we do, you can usually only find 2-3 of them. Lalica at
Nails For Fun said they would be releasing in November. I knew that would be perfect. Not only was my birthday in November, but I knew I'd have some birthday money to fund the swap.
We didn't set any limit, but pretty much guessed. I offered some that I already had and looked at her wishlist so I could add more, and try to get as many of the US polishes as I could off her list and I had a blast doing it. I'm totally a giver and love getting things for people that I know they want.

HERE to see what I got for her. I was surprised when my package arrived before hers did....AND it got here on Christmas Eve. It was like a bonus present. I opened the bubble mailer to this....

The polishes and these yummy Ki-Ki candies. They're like apple flavored Starburst. |
Now to the polishes......again, I apologize for the cell pic.
The polishes are (L to R): Top Row- Flormar U08, S-he Stylezone 437, Essence Fairytale 04 Humpty Dumpty, & Flormar U18. Bottom Row - Essence Vampire's Love - 02 Into The Dark, 04 The Dawn Is Broken, 01 Gold Old Buffy, 05 Hunt Me If You Can, & 03 True Love.
And if all that weren't enough, I got this pretty ring. not sure which polish it is, but it's adorbs.

Lol, yes I was in my Guinness jammies. |
I have these in my bucket of polishes to swatch & try. I've already worn Flormar U08, with Finger Paints Motley over it, and loved it. I'll be doing that again once I swatch everything. I really can't wait to try that S-he, because it looks so much more brown in the bottle, but red in the picture.
TOODLES Y'ALL!!!
