~SPOILERS~ Anchor & Heart Alice In Winterland 12 Piece Advent Calendar

[@anchorheartlacquer]

Paula my dear!! I finally got a chance to really sit down and watch this whole video start to finish - I don’t have words to properly express how happy I am to bring you so much joy! I LOVE doing these boxes each year - I’d do them every month if it was more feasible. 😂 I look forward to it all year long! My inspiration is always how I hope folks will feel when they open it and I let that be my guide as I curate it. Like a hug from a friend! I’m in tears, thank you so much for taking the time to create this video and for all your incredibly kind words! So much love to you! ❤

Taryn, I know you must be a super special person to put together such a beautiful advent box! All your planning and hard work definitely shows and is so very much appreciated! I know I have a bunch of people in the comments who now wish they’d gotten one. 😊 Thank you so much for taking the time to watch this long video and leave such a beautiful comment. Thank you for being you and creating something so very special. It WAS like opening a big hug. I buy a lot of “advent” type boxes and none can come close to comparing to yours. I’m putting my order in now for your next one! 😘 I’m just sad I have to wait a whole year! Lol. But yes, next year don’t make the knots so tight!! 😂 Much love right back to you. I wish you the happiest of holidays and can’t wait to see everything you create in the coming year! ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Taryn, Paula did an awesome job showing your amazing advent box, that is for sure!

[@realpolishfanatic]

@@DoveNativeThank you! ❤️😘❤️

Wow! I’m not sure I’ve seen advent so well put together before! I’m sad I missed it but grateful for you sharing how lovely this is. Thank you!

[@realpolishfanatic]

Hi! I think this one was very special too. 😊 I said in another comment it was the most thoughtfully curated advent I have ever seen. I’m sorry you missed it. Thank you for watching and commenting though! ❤❤❤

[@katiepare9685]

Wow! 🥹I haven't ever been so blown away by an Advent calendar like this ever before! I don't need more polish, but I want this so badly! I may reach out to her! ❤❤

[@realpolishfanatic]

Hi! I felt exactly the same! Hopefully she has some extras or something! Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤❤❤

[@Kats4korner]

Such an impressive looking advent. I’ve never purchased an advent and wow, this one really sets the bar high. Very well thought out and truly a labor of love, time and effort. Thanks for sharing and swatching😊

[@realpolishfanatic]

Hi! It’s the most impressive advent I’ve ever seen! And I’ve seen a lot of them! lol. Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤️❤️❤️

[@katiepare9685]

Same, never purchased one before, but there is a first for everything! I heard it's not available, but if that changes...😊

[@realpolishfanatic]

@@katiepare9685Hope you’re able to get one. They were on pre order back in October I think but maybe she has some overpours or something! ❤

[@bitsofpolish]

What a fun advent!!! Sad I missed it, there's always next year ❤

[@realpolishfanatic]

Hi! Yes, there’s always something new to look forward to. Thanks for watching! ❤❤❤

[@latondab3100]

Fantastic advent calendar!!!!

[@realpolishfanatic]

It’s magical! Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤❤❤

[@dailypolishme]

Lovely homage video and great gift advent calendar. The nail polishes are beautiful too. 😀😍😍TFS

[@realpolishfanatic]

Thank you so much 🤗 ❤❤❤

[@natashawho5508]

What a thoughtful curated collection. With the charm bracelet and those snowflakes and butterflies, those became the cherry on top.

[@realpolishfanatic]

Hi! It was truly the most spectacular advent I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen (and bought!) a bunch of them over the years! Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤❤❤

[@1966pennylane]

Oh no! I looked for it and I guess it’s not available anymore.😢 This is the most beautiful, thoughtful collection! I don’t mind if it takes you awhile to unwrap or find items. I enjoy the excitement and fun. ❤

[@realpolishfanatic]

Hi! Yeah, it was a pre-order from October I believe but maybe she’ll have some overpours or something? Idk. I haven’t heard anything but I think the maker is curled up recovering from getting these done and out the door. 😊 She put so much time into them. Thank you for saying you don’t mind the time it takes to get things opened. In the back of my head I’m always like, “you’re taking too long!” Lol. But I’m also seeing these things for the first time with all of you and do want to take some time to enjoy it. 😊 Thank you for watching and leaving me a comment!! ❤❤❤

[@1966pennylane]

@ I love your videos for the fact that they are so calming. Not rushed or loud. I’m sure everyone who watches you would agree.💚❤️ I did get too excited about this advent to wait until the end of the video when you do tell us it’s no longer available. ☺️ 😊 Thank you for responding anyway! Hopefully I can try for other advents. I’ve never purchased one ever, from anywhere.

[@realpolishfanatic]

@@1966pennylane I do try to remember to say in the beginning of the videos if things are no longer available and I forgot this time. I do apologize. I don’t really get much PR so most of my videos are things I’ve purchased and often time aren’t available anymore. 😢 Advents used to be mostly mysteries but more and more makers are sending them to some of their PR/swatcher teams to show spoilers ahead of time for those who don’t like mysteries. (This one was a true mystery though, no spoilers were given ahead). So if you follow people like Caitlin Swatches (here on KZbin) or Lacquer2Lashes (on instagram) they are two I know get a lot of PR and would show off any spoilers ahead of time so you’d have time to purchase, whether you watch the spoilers or not you’d at least have a heads up something was coming. 😊 I think advents are fun. This was by far the best and most thoughtfully curated advent I’ve ever seen. I’ll definitely be watching next year for what she does. (Also holiday advents are often sold starting as early as October so the makers have time to prepare them and get them sent out for holiday time). Some other brands who do advents that I really like are Dam Polish, Bluebird Lacquer, Lyn B Designs, Jen & Berries Polish. Some of them have multiple “advents” throughout the year for different holidays. Oh, I bought an Advent from Lurid Lacquer for Halloween time I believe. That was a really nice one too, it had beautiful colors in it. So that was probably a lot of info you already knew, but wanted to say just in case. I’m sure you’ll get your hands on one at some point. Thank you for your reply and the kind words. ❤❤❤

[@1966pennylane]

@ ahhh, thank you so much for the information! You are so sweet to take the time and it is very much appreciated. ❤️🥰

[@realpolishfanatic]

@@1966pennylane You’re very welcome! ❤

[@katiepare9685]

Also... thank you for your swatches over black and with matte tc! They help me see more possibilities (even with my existing polishes).

[@realpolishfanatic]

You’re welcome! I’m glad you find helpful! I do always try to do both those things with my videos. I’m often pleasantly surprised at how things look over black or with the matte topcoat. ❤

[@latondab3100]

I too have reached the point where I cannot read the little font on cosmetic bottles. I snap a pic with my phone to enlarge and the read.

[@realpolishfanatic]

Hi! I’m glad I’m not alone! 😂 I do that too, take a picture or screenshot then enlarge it. That’s part of the reason if it’s something I can’t read I try to hold it still for a moment so others can read it or screenshot it. I also have a lighted magnifier that I use the light portion for my videos and I have been known to pull over the magnifier to read things during a video. lol. Thank you for watching and commenting! ❤❤❤

[@samesource]

You are fun.

Simply sensational 🤩😍🥳 just WoWwww I’ve used her Mermaid Tears since 2019, and refuse to use any other base coat… my nails are healthy and rarely break. Her polishes are gorgeous too… this whole box is just… I’m stumped to come up with an appropriate name to describe how amazing it is 💕❄️🐇 TFS!!! The charms just WoWwww

[@realpolishfanatic]

Hi! I know! I was at a loss for words and literally was getting choked up at the thought of all she put into creating this. Its phenomenal. I’ve been using Mermaid Tears for just a few months now but I’m really loving it too! Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤️❤️❤️
