In addition to MAC's Comic Cute, here are just some of my other bright corals:

BL's Trout Pout
Chanel's Fracas
EL's Coral Cult
Essie's Tangerine, Camera, Brazilliant & Tart Deco
MAC's Kid Orange & Oriele
OPI's How Cute is That?
Thank you so much for this list, Medgal

I should probably just get the Chanel color. All I'm gonna do is by a bunch of dupes til I get the real thing. :)

I think I'm going to copy HOB nail shape too. lol I'm not going back to that shop though. The way she filed my ring finger is off. As it is growing the side is digging into my skin. (I hope that made sense).

Butter London has two really nice shades of blue: "Royal Navy" & "Big Smoke"

If those are too dark "Bluey" is pretty also. If you like dark green "British Racing Green" is gorgeous.

I'm a huge Butter London fan. After I fell in love with "All Hail the Queen" I just kept buying more.

Cafe Makeup has some good pics of it-- http://cafemakeup.com/2010/07/21/butter-london-all-hail-mcqueen/

I love how in so many of their n/p there is great shimmer but not chuncky glitter. But if you like glitter there are some pretty ones I've bought for gifts. My daughter-in-law squealed when I gave her "Disco Biscuit" It's bright pink and sparkly, her two favorite things.

For the most part BL has great n/p but like all brands there are a few duds here and there.

Most of my n/p is Butter London & Deborah Lippmann

^^Sorry if I repeated things you guys have already covered. I just saw this thread and decided to pop on here.
I had Dior's Rosy Bow NP on for a week without chipping---mind you, I was on bed rest but still, that's practically unheard of. My back is improving---thanks for asking CC, so I did a polish change today---Comic Cute, form Archie's Girls.


I didn't realize this was so pretty. Did it apply well? If so I gotta pick this up.

^ I was also drooling over that pic! Dior seems to put out some nice colours! Just last weekend I got the beautifully orange Aurora palette from last summer 50% off (and an EL palette), and these palettes and polishes are calling me, too!

I've been collecting BLs of late, too. Which ones do you think are duds?

CC, I love all of these shades of blue, and you have lovely hands that look really nice with both short & long nails. I have to say however, uniformity gets my vote---either all short or all long.

Lol, OK. I may cut the coke nail. My pinky is usually my longest nail, so I'm used to it being a different length than the others. But it does look a little weird seeing it in the pics. It kind of throws off the Triad design. My right hand is all the same length and the design makes more sense.

Possible Chanel Blue Satin dupes: Revlon Midnight Affair, Essie Midnight Cami, Illamasqua Phallic. I haven't tried or own any of these polishes to know for certain if they're dupes. I think they're color matches, but I don't know if they have Chanel's hidden blue shimmer. I'm biased and say to just get the Chanel.

I am planning to get Essie Midnight Cami and Illamasqua Phallic at some point.

LOL I know how hard it is! My mom used to hate cutting her nails if one broke. I used to tell her to cut them all and they will grow back the same length. I did her mani once and she was yapping away on the phone.. by the time she was done all her nails were short lmao. I think she shed a tear that day but later thanked me!

Wowza!!! I love your choices and your huge collection. I think as you go through your NPs, trying the untried, you should have CCs REC of the week. A recommendation (or not) for your fellow NP addicts!!!
Med, that's a fun idea! Your collection is larger mine, so you do the same.

I'm totally confused. I thought Azure would be part of the summer collection? And to which collection does Taboo belong too, or is it going to be perm?
I also had a look at Douglas online and there was not only Apparition but a golden IdO I never heard about before - Convoitise. I feel confused.

What about declaring Monday (or any other day) the official nail polish thread recommodation day? We al could have a look at the polishes we wore the week before and give a recommodation (or not, as Medgal said!) to our fellow NPAs?

Especially the shimmer of Taboo is extremely hard to photograph.It looks just dark in the pic
