Bottles changing...again...new labels....and Happy Birthday

Hello All, As you all know this week has been crazy. I have been working like a crazy women to get all the overdue orders out (the last of them will be dropped off tonight on my way home from work.) Well to top it all off I went to buy more bottles as I am running low , and found out from my supplier that they no longer have any of the "fan" shaped bottles I have been using. Talk about ERG! I know I should have checked to make sure that they would have enough to supply me, but I also thought they would be up front enough to tell me the last time I ordered that they were running low. So long story short I have found a new supplier who has much more stock...but doesn't carry the same "fan" bottles that I currently carry. Double ERG!!!! I decided to go with a more simple square/rectangle shape so it can be more easily replaced if need be, but also my new supplier has about 250k of these in stock. The new bottles will now be larger 16.5ml for the large bottles, and 9ml for the small bottles. Prices for the new bottles will go up .50c on the large and .75c on the small bottles. Making them $7.75 for 16.5ml of polish (store bought is usually 15ml) and $4.25 for 9ml of polish. I believe my prices are still incredibly competitive both for the quantity and quality of my product. Limited edition bottles will be 9.00 for the large bottles. I normally don't make LE bottles in small sizes. Both bottles will be similar in shape (rectangle/square) so they will be easily recognized as the same brand ALSO I am updating my labels. They are matte black vinyl Ds. There will be 2 ds on the front of each bottle. I will continue to handwrite the colors on the bottom of the bottles. These new bottles will arrive on Tuesday (8/7) so all orders placed currently will be filled with the 12ml fan bottles. I plan on taking pictures (again) of all my polishes in the new bottles sometime next week..or next weekend. I hope that changing bottles again doesn't cause problems for you all. I apologize...I am SO sorry to do this again, but this will (I hope) be the last time I will have to do this! I am going to push back my ManiforaCure project until I get them in the new bottles J Last but certainly not least. Tomorrow is my Husbands B-day. He is going to be the big 3-0. I just want to let him know that is love him more than anything in the world! Happy Birthday Slove! J Hope everyone had an awesome week. If you haven't gotten your order yet, you will be getting it tomorrow or very early next week J -Ash

Update on Shipping

Hello All! Good and "bad" news. Good news is that I have made every bottle of polish from 7-18 to 7-28 and they are getting wrapped up, and either shipped out yesterday or are going to be dropped off tonight. The bad news is some orders are shipping later than anticipated. For those orders I am including a FREE mini bottle of polish with your order as a sorry for the delay gesture. The late arrival of my bottles kept me from getting these out to everyone sooner. I am very sorry about that. Orders placed since 7.29 are on the normal 2-3 day schedule of shipping. A lot of people have been asking about a reason for the delay. I guess I haven't really ever brought my personal life into my business because I feel like I am whining a little, but here goes. I am currently still working my normal full time job. So my basic schedule for the last few months has been work from 7am-5pm and polish from 7pm-12am. I am in NO way complaining! I am just stating the reason for the delay. Believe it or not, the most time consuming part of the order process is packaging up the orders. I love my clients and I hope that delays like this don't hinder your faith in my business. I am working so hard to get this all done for you all. I know you are trying to wait patiently, but it's hard to wait for something you really want. I would love, more than anything, to make this my job. Daring Digits is almost there, but I need to make sure I can stand on my own two feet before making the decision to move full time to making nail polish. Without all your support and caring I wouldn't be faced with a decision like this. What an AWESOME problem to have :) For now, I will keep with the crazy schedule and get your polishes out PRONTO! If you have questions do not hesitate to email me. daringdigits(at)Comcast.net -Ash
