Nail polish is considered as hazardous material and is prohibited to send by air mail in many countries.

@Tunrida Thanks for pointing that out! hmmm.. let me check and see which countries are affected.. Coz nail polish is not on the list of prohibited items for import of export from my country :)

Well, if someone knows that they can't receive nail polish due to any restrictions, than they probably shouldn't join, right?
I'm sure there are plenty of other people that can and to join. :)

Hope another one will run in March. Can't afford it this month. We need a new car, and I'm already in 1 swap :D

@DesiraHolla no probs.. if the pick up rate for this is good, i might host another one in March :)

great....but to get hearts...which is my main purpose....because I do everything wth love and look at profiles and they dig it...etc...lol... I love make up... being a make up artist myself... I JUST picked up some nail polish that STAYS on REAL nails!! you know... when you have your nails done at a salon...and have fake nails ( LOVE LOVE )..it stays on FOREVER.....but on a simple plain manicure?? NOOOO..it chips!! I found some super funky colors that stay on... even though I wash my hands a million times a day!! Not forever..but very good stuff... I always add extra stuff... are you going to do more make up inspired stuff?? the extra's will be with profile applied stuff.... I think it will be awesome!! Now...the ONLY thing is... the shipping of these... I have had 1/2 good luck on my international swaps to be "on time".... it depends"... I cannot send them out "priority... unless i have lots of $$$$$ at the moment....but you cannot "tracK" the package once it leaves the USA...it is horrible!! It has been ok.....except one...during the holidays to San Domingo... but she is my friend...and we have it worked out.... anyway... yes.. they do ask?... "ANYTHING FLAMABLE IN THIS PACKAGE" IM SERIOUS!!!! that is the ONLY problem.... well, I will give it a try... if they give me trouble.. I guess will have to bow out..BUT.. I SENT NAIL POLISH TO LONDON...AND SEVERAL...WITH NO PROBLEM...SO.... THERE I WANT TO DO IT!!!! FUN!!! JUST PLAY THE GAME... AS LONG AS YOU FILL THE PAPER OUT SO YOUR RECEIVING END PARTNER DOES NOT PAY ANYTHING WHEN SHE RECEIVES IT!! MARK AS 'GIFT".... THAT'S ALL!! HOPE THIS HELPS..... L&P...EL

2 NOTE....SORRY MORE!!!! NAIL POLISH IS A SMALL ITEM... YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SAY IT IS NAIL POLISH..PER SAY... I DID NOT .... IT IS NOT BIG DEAL... JUST SEND IT WITH OTHER THINGS AND YOU WILL BE FINE.... ...IF YOU SAY IT "isssssSsss NAIL POLISH"!!!!! DON'T SAY IT... I NEVER DO.... ...

JUST SAYING...JUST TO BE CLEAR... IT'S NO BIGGY REALLY... IT MAKES IT A WHOLE LOT EASIER!!... The other day.. I sent my good friend an "envelope" and inside a card..and "ATC: and several blank ones... a minituture small small "angel (which did not weigh anything!! attached) and it kinda "bulked" up the envelope a bit! I could NOT BELIEVE when I took it to the post office and they made me fill out a "FORM" for the envelope.... I wrote.. "card, atc and etras, angle)... and she told me is it a "gift" I said YES... so it cost me $5 to send the thing..oh well... it maybe my post office people because they like to rip people off!! Don't be scared!! I SEND THINGS FROM MY HOUSE AND PUT POSTAGE ON IT...LOTS...AND ITS FINE AND GETS THERE PERFECT!!! JUST GET A GUIDE FROM POSTOFFICE FOR AMOUNTS.....THAT'S IT!!!! ... Sorry about all this gibber gabber!! I don't EVEN know why I am saying all this... but I already wrote it..so I guess I am committed! LOL LOL LOL... funny!! you can PM me with any comments or questions.... serious!! elena

I do not agree with glamazon08! Just because there are a few countries that do not allow the shipping of nail polish, everyone who lives in a country that allows it, can't have a swap like that? I'm really looking forward to this swap :)

@ebgroovy hi el!!! :D wow it's lovely to meet fellow beauty addicts who are equally passionate and enthusiastic about our swaps! we will definitely be hosting more makeup inspired swaps, and if you have any suggestions, do head over to the group forum and let us know.. :) and like @yannak mentioned earlier, we'll leave it to our swappers to decide if they want to join the swap or not.. Everyone knows their country's export laws the best, so i'll leave it up to them to do their due diligence.. :D but I look forward to an opportunity to swap with you soon!

@hoershey I can't wait for this swap too!!! I say leave it to the individual swappers to decide if they want to join or not.. I've read up on a lot of websites about shipping nail polish and it doesn't seem like that many countries are affected with the export prohibition. In any case (and especially since we're only sending 1 or 2 bottles of nail polish), most people advice to declare it as cosmetics on the customs form & mark it as a gift :)
