That is so weird! I have Daul and mine looks like it should. Maybe they mislabelled yours. I seem to think I have that colour, but I don't know what it's called and I definitely can't check now.

Okay, here is Scrangie's swatch from here blog (www.scrangie.com):

and here is Christine's (www.temptalia.com):

Well, here's mine:
WTH?!
I mean, I obviously like it otherwise I hadn't bought it, but it's nothing like in the pics! Even the description is different. Christine cites the press release and says it's an purple base with gold sparkle. Well, mine is aspahlt grey that looks greenish in certain lights with golden sparkles.
Any ideas? Were there two Dauls?
And I remembered why I don't like Zoya particularly: it chips like the dickens on me. Honestly, I painted my nails last night, went to bed and woke up with chips in my mani.
Because of that, after my doctor's appointment today I decided to have a little fun and added OPI's Lights of the Emerald City.

Ms. Lippmann's done herself proud with her specklies and mermaids.
I wish Nordies or wherever had a sale so that I could start pestering people for CPs

Red creme fail, umpteenth edition:
My search for a red creme that I don't want to take off half an hour into wearing it continues. Here's Misa Chrysler Red, topped with L'Oreal Confettis. I really should have left it the hell alone. I love Confettis with pastels and medium-light shades but it looked beyond tacky over red.
