I have no idea of the final result on the nails but the topcoats look very pretty.

i wonder when bloggers are going to review these! i cant afford them but i do want to see how they swatch, im intrigued by them!

 

[kimibos]

just ordered OPI too hot pink to hold'em, dont touch my tutu, care to danse, and my pointe exactly. happy easter to me, which i dont celebrate lol or maybe happy end of march! i have to find an excuse like medgal!!

 

[kimibos]

macys has the butter london summer collection already. too bad they dont have free shipping

I WANT POOLE NOW!!

 

[Anitacska]

I've just painted my nails dark green/blue.

Maybe I'm the odd one out. I'm gonna pop a holo topcoat on them though and it's supposed to be sunny tomorrow, so hopefully I can have lovely rainbow nails to look at.

I'm the same! I swatched Taboo and it's gorgeous, but I'm not in the mood for dark nails. Except for a black & white mani I want to do. Even the the YSL Vert D'Orient mani I'm wearing now seems too dark for my mood. I want brights and pastels.

Sounds like it will be pretty.

It is. I used W7 Metallic Neptune, a dark green/blue/purple multichrome with Darling Diva Polish Dreamy on top. Will take pictures tomorrow in the sunshine (hopefully).

im wearing OPI Not like the movies right now and i wore the one that got away yesterday. both from the katy perry collection.

The one that got away with Jessica Solar Eclipse (dark blue) as a base, it makes it look more purple.

 

[Dominique33]

It's so shiny, mirror effect ! Vivid colours !

As for the YSL topcoats, I am intrigued too !

 

[Anitacska]

Gorgeous! I'm confused though, I thought The one that got away was the pink one and Not like the movies was the purple one. No?

THANKS!! you are right. not like the movies is the duo chrome one, the purple.(it looks green by itself or over black too) and the one that got away is the redish pink.

 

[MRV]

the blue Mariah Sand "Get Your Number" no top coat. 3 coats for it to look like the bottle.(dark blue) it looks aqua with just 2 coats
no top coat

Looks lovely! I liked this polish, too. I have the bronzy one from Oz (not worn yet because of all those greens), and I want 2-4 from Zoya, too, but they are not really available yet.

I believe it was the Katy Perry collection ad the kardashian Kolors that started my np addiction lol. The one that got away is my fav one I still haven't even used not like the movies lol

wow, this thread sure moves faster than light!

so hard to catch up on over 100 pages of posts 'n pictures

'Just wanted to come in and ask what spring colors you are loving the most this year?

For spring, I bought the whole China Glaze Avant Garden collection and most of the Orly spring collection plus the cute red sand + stars Mariah Carey OPI polish, but that's it. CG and Orly in particular have stepped up their game so completely that I am seriously not seeing the point in most high end polishes so far this year. There are VERY few colors coming from other brands that these guys don't already have covered in fabulous formulas.

Some of my favorites have been:

CG Pinkie-Promise with CG Razzle Me Dazzle Me (Bitz 'n Glitz) on top - looks just like the Lippman and Illemasqua pastel /w black matte glitter polishes. Works awesomely with the CG pearlized mint, periwinkle blue and lavender from the same collection too.

Orly Peaceful Opposition is SO gorgeous - sheer white jelly with white matte square glitter and a few silver bits sprinkled in. CG Dandy Lyin' Around is an equally gorgeous slightly pearly white with gorgeous shimmer. I am not even a white polish person usually, but these two are spectacular.

Seriously HARD to narrow down my favorites from Avant Garden - that bright olive green jelly, Budding Romance, is spectacular on my skin tone. Fancy Pants has such a beautiful iridescent shimmer to it, making it look blue/purple/pink, but in a very soft way, not harsh and overly bright, plus this slightly jelly-ish texture too. Snap Dragon is the PERFECT match with Ronnie Red or Love Goddess lipsticks - brilliant bright pinkish red, so glam. I'm wearing Mimosa's Before Manis right now, the salmony pink/orange coral, and it's just so cute and adorable and looks exactly like one of the expensive polishes from Dior or YSL from this season - no need to spend such big bucks!

Then there is Melodious Utopia from Orly - the most beautiful lemon yellow with pink shimmer that really comes through clearly in any lighting conditions - that one is so beautiful I can barely let myself use it. The pale grayish blue from that collection is even nicer than the spring Zoya, formula-wise…I feel 100% stylish with it. Then there's that crazy pale green Coachella Dweller - there are other greens similar to this one out there, but this one is particularly unique and complex and bright but subtle.

I am going to spring for the matching polishes for Heroine and Ablaze from MAC (their formula is much improved and I'm really into the super matchy-matchy look for nails/lips lately), but man, I don't have enough fingers and toes for all these riches. As it is, I've been changing my polish every 3 days now, just due to all of this bounty. I have officially become a China Glaze disciple - I already was a huge Orly fan, but they're getting better and better now too….that Mash Up collection is going to be bananas.

I didn't see so much CG love in this thread yet, or I missed it, but seriously - best polish collection of the spring, for sure.

Yup, you missed it. Low end and high end gets equal love in this thread. We love it all!

I think most of us have hauled polishes from the Avant Garden collection. I know there are more colors I need to get, but I have to find them. My stores' selections have been wiped out, and I don't like paying full price for China Glaze. I only managed to get Tart-y for the Party and Mimosas Before Manis. I have a few more Sally Beauty stores to recon for the other colors.

EDIT: Forgot to mention the spring collections I'm loving! For me, it's Butter London Sweetie Shop (pastels), Illamasqua I'mPerfection (speckles), then various colors from Dior, Chanel, YSL, China Glaze and Zoya. I really can't wait for the summer collections to release. That's what I'm mostly excited about. Neons and brights! Especially the Lippmann mermaid polishes.

As for the YSL topcoats, I am intrigued too !

I'm tempted to order directly from YSL to get their Opium lotion and shower gel GWP. 50ml is a decent size. I'd have to decide soon. The promo ends today.

gorgoeus! do you see the e/s palette?

The eye shadow palettes for the YSL 2013 summer collection are Marrakesh Sunset and Pure Chromatics #13. Marrakesh Sunset is listed as an online exclusive at YSL.com. I'm not sure if it will eventually appear in stores. I do see #13 available at Saks.com.
