i love them all.

I think I need Mayhem Mentality for summer. But I'll wait for CG summer collection swatches, maybe there will something that I like more.

Ugh, the nail on my thumb broke off, so I cut my nails super crazy short. It feels weird and I don't feel comfortable, lol. I usually wear my nails short, but not THAT short.

I'm still waiting for my color club polish, I think it shipped four weeks ago.

edit: Oh, and does anyone know how I could get my hands on Jin Soon polishes? I saw one that I really liked and I have no idea where to buy them.

my thumb nail just broke too! now I have to cut all of mine too ;( when I square mine the corners always break!!! I hope there's swatches of the CG summer collex out soon!!

Melodious Utopia is sooooooo gawjus!! I just did my nails in it while watching Game of Thrones….(3 thin coats to really bring out the pink sparkle, but it looks nice semi-sheer at 2 coats too. The formula's a perfect thickness for my taste)

That Hope & Freedom collection is just fantastic - I bought all of them except the coral with holo glitter, which now I'm a little sorry I skipped.

In the States, Jin Soon is sold at space.nk: http://us.spacenk.com/Varnish/SPUK401020502,en_US,sc.html?prefn1=brand&prefv1=JIN SOON

Sadly, it's not available on space.nk's British site, though.

When I got over years of nail biting, my nails grew so slowly. When I'd break one, I'd run to a salon and get it patched - that's how distressed I'd be, haha. Now my nails grow really fast and are a lot stronger, so that helps. I still cut them all down at the end of the holiday season for a Springtime change. I think I'll be keeping them on the shorter side for summer, since I'm going to be rocking those CG neon jellies and that seems like a flattering length for that texture.

As for that summer ORLY collection - their polishes ALWAYS look so much better in person..I've got a sneaking suspicion I'm going to snag all 5 once I see them. Sparkling Garbage is gonna be on my toes for sure…..

I did another polish change. I went from Butter London Primrose Hill Picnic to Dior Lilac, which I love. It fit right in with the purple challenge for the makeup theme thread. I also used the Dior Gel top coat, so we'll see if this mani lasts longer than the BL PRHP did.

On your broken and newly shortened nails. I hope they grow to your preferred length quickly. Funny you should mention Jin Soon NP because I've been eyeing a few shades in that brand, and expect to start adding some to my collection. I've seen them at Nordstrom, but I can't speak to the quality of the polish. Have you used Jin Soon, and if so what do you think of it?

Yep, it's a holo-glitter! I need this and some pretty ugly mentality!

Finally last week I got my hands on some specklies! This is Fragile. Loved the texture, thin but opaque.



The colour is very appropriate - cold. We got a few inches of snow yesterday!

 

[Medgal07]

Awww MRV--Fragile is very pretty on you--frankly, you can rock that one anytime!

Quote:

Nice haul! I was thinking of Sci-Fly By, too, but ended up getting 3 of the darker ones.


Oh, it's a bargain then. I need to start bying more at a time but sometimes it's just impossible because the polishes are literally flying off your cart!

I never used my 20% Ulta coupon. I was painting my nails and lost track of time. That's fine. I need to cut back anyway. I did go to Sally's yesterday and used the B2G1 promo to get China Glaze Sunday Funday, Passion For Petals and Fancy Pants. They didn't have the other Avant Garden colors I want. I saw the holos, but didn't grab any.

@ Prettypackages----Yes, Melodious Utopia is /Orly. NP Fumes got to her CC. Lil fresh air and she'll be just fine!

Lol, I was checking to make sure I wasn't mistaken. I thought I inhaled too many fumes again.

 

[CartoonChic]

I have both too Kimibos and Naughtyp. I was starting to feel like there's some formula related issue that I should be concerned about. As far as I know the price is the same too, other than a sale here or there.

There's no difference in formula or brushes in the US. It's just a different bottle design. As mentioned, the drug store version has the UPC sticker and a label of the color name on the cap with a white and/or glass Essie logo printed on the bottle. The salon bottles have no stickers or labels on the caps and only the glass logo. I prefer the salon bottles visually.

My Essie collection is new. I started buying them in February and I only had 4 of them. I decided to switch to the salon version bottles when I learned about the difference. If my collection was older and larger, I probably wouldn't have bothered.

You can get the salon version at salon locations, Ulta, etc. The drug store version can be found at Walmart, Beauty.com, etc.

Anneri - I say both coral and turquoise. I love that color combination. I hope you enjoy your trip!

Pretty! Sorry about the snow. It's finally starting to seem like spring in my area. The weather has been temperamental lately, switching everyday from spring to winter.
