Glittergasm

I ordered a few bottles of nail polish on the 4th of December, as my dad's Christmas gift for me. (He paid, I picked what I wanted. Best idea ever.)

They arrived today. One bottle was a mix up. I ordered China Glaze's Snow Globe, instead I got Polar Ice. Similar look, bot not the same. Polar Ice has small, same sized glitter, Snow Globe has multiple sizes and denser glitter.

Last time I contacted the seller (on Amazon's marketplace) they took their sweet time answering. It took them 2-3 days and they didn't concern themselves with niceties... or manners, much. They were brisk and almost, but not quite rude. So this time I didn't write to them, I just put two stars in my review and told them I can't even send the bottle back to get the correct bottle as it'd cost me more than the bottle's worth.

Lo and behold, they answered me not 5 minutes after the review went up. A belated Christmas miracle, you say? Nah. I guess I got them by the proverbial balls. Anyway, they apologized, hell, they were laying it on so thick I could have been their only buyer (not true) and offered to send the bottle of Snow Globe over as gift. I accepted gladly. (Hey, I was a return customer, this was my 4th time shopping there and they were pretty damn decent so far... save for the time the bottle wasn't properly closed and some dribbled out, if you remember my post during the summer.)

Aaaanyway. Got my pretty nail polishes and gonna get my other one too. Yay!

I feel a little guilty for whining, and I don't feel I deserve that free bottle of polish (I would have agreed to buy it at half-price, or maybe some other polish), but my mother told me if people offer you stuff you accept them gratefully - and take them.
