Wow! I wonder if that means the collection is out at all stores a week early. They've occasionally done that before, but not with a collection this big. I'm going to hold out until I can see everything in person, but I'm impressed that everything is up so early. I wonder if this is typical of how they're going to handle launches this year- holding back press/ blogger samples until the products are available? It could easily be a fluke with this collection, but I wouldn't be entirely surprised if they'd changed their policies, since some of the reviews they've received in the last year were less than stellar.

Ack, I went ahead & ordered WMS & QS, they are the 2 colors I've really been eyeing up & am afraid if I don't jump on them I'll miss out.

LOVEYOULOVELOVEYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks doll as I wasn't watching

I bought the same two - WMS & QS

I don't think the collection will launch earlier in stores.


Re their policies: I'm playing the devil's advocate and say that I would welcome this change very much.

I saw a youtube video & she said that at the party WMS was the first to sell out.

 

[bambiraptor]

I ordered WMS, QS, NS, Florida & Purrring. I hope I love them. I'm N15-20 (getting paler by the minute!)

Are you pearlmatting as well?

I am so glad I grabbed Watch me Simmer looking at that... its a beautiful colour and very different to anything I have. Thankyou for the swatch

I swatched Watch me simmer under natural lighting this time, it's definitely not a pure orange. It looks very similar to vegas volt, just a smidgen of pink to it.

From Left to right: Watch me simmer, Vegas Volt, and Impassioned.

whatttt I don't see any freebies in my cart *sigh* I will purchase online if I get freebies, otherwise i'll wait for the bay to launch next week :/

 

[Mac-Guy]

I doubt it will last long online either. While QS might be the runner up, WMS is the clear winner as it is a gorgeous coral-pink. QS might be too close - though different - than what we have seen recently to take up the pool position.

Al Fredo n/p on a pinkish NW complexion is interesting - to say the least. The formula is more on the watery side causing it to run immediately into the nail bed. But I am sure a skilled n/p can work around that issue. It is also not as opaque as I expected a creme finish, but opaqueness can be achieved with double or triple layers. I think this will look gorgeous on tanned beauties or WOC.

Oh I was just starting to regret not getting Al Fredo and now I really do.

I actually saw this collection in stores (albeit that it was in the shelves) in Toronto last week. The SA was a little flustered when I asked if they'll be releasing the collection early. He was like "We're not allowed to say... this is for display purpose only" haha

Wow! I wonder if that means the collection is out at all stores a week early. They've occasionally done that before, but not with a collection this big.

Also, please help me decide!!

Quick Sizzle or Dish it Up?

I'm NC25-30; I'm afraid quick sizzle will look too bright, but dish it up might look kind of boring on me.

You can still get it if you fancy some Al Fredo on your nails.

 

[Jennifae]

I placed a small order for:

Dish It Up
Quick Sizzle
Watch Me Simmer
Naughty Saute
Hot ‘n’ Saucy
Purring

I might get a few more things later.

 

[clslvr6spd]

I am just soooo excited that the Tendertones are back. I nearly died when I saw the collection list & saw those. If only they were made perm!

 

[Icecaramellatte]

Yes, I just saw the collection up online so I may just get it. I like how the MAs were wearing it as an accent nail with another color. But now I'm debating Florida and the other cremeblend. Hmmm. I may just order tonight. The pearlglides don't say limited edition online so I guess I don't have to get backups or skimp on using the ones I have. Oh yeah, and I just noticed the Crush Metals have individual shade names on line. I wonder why it's not on the package.

 

[badassSENORiTA]

Good going. Otherwise we might be stalking the site in hopes for re-stocks like we did with our Apfel lippies.

what? they restocked on the Apfel lippies?

 

[clslvr6spd]

Booo, I am kicking myself for using my MAC giftcards already...I still have my Macy*s one, but I can't wait until next week to get my Tendertones! I have a feeling I am going to break down & end up just ordering from the site tonight....

Why of course. I also bought the Vera NPs
