similar to last years tsv which is just what i was thinking
I just don't get on with the coloured Nail Envy, even the original NE only works short-term before it makes my nails brittle.
I'd buy a TSV with just colours but realistically there isn't a colour I don't already own (no exaggeration)
So I'll re-post the varnish junkie's guide to resisting a TSV: Just sort through the colours you already own and line up to match the sets in a TSV. The attraction of sets is the way the colours look with the bottles lined up next to each other. Once I've satisfied this aesthetic need I find it easier to resist buying duplicate polishes; afterall I tend to use the colours one at a time so I have to resist the draw of the rainbow!
I have never forgotten this little gem since I read it on here a couple of years ago. It chimed with me because I was definitely influenced by the look of the collections as displayed. Like you, I have pretty much every colour of polish imaginable. I now consider each bottle in a QVC collection individually and can always find at least one in my stash to match.
So you only get the bag in the first drop but all drops same price?
Don't suppose anyone saw the colour names, did they?
I'm even more confused now.
In the video that SCW kindly posted of Will & Ay, they talk of a choice between the two collections but no mention of an auto delivery. Yet now it seems there is an auto delivery but of what? Both collections?

Thanks for this great tip. I did order the TSV last year which is VERY similar because I wanted the Nail Envy & wanted some for gifts but now I've sorted out all the colours I already own, I do have shades similar to this years TSV so thanks for saving my money! I have just started using the free bag from last year to carry my lunch & Sketchers in for my walk home from work.
You'll be sick of them running through the names of the TSV polishes so if there is a colour you fancy you'll probably find it on ebay for around £8-9.
