Wow, this combo really shows the glitter. Actually I'm a fan of round shapes, so I'd love to see more circle glitters!

more? Talking about Dior - I have not even seen these ones:

Were they very limited or what?


It's not bad by no means, but I get what you mean, I have same kind of issues with red cremes.


Dégeulass !

I hate them, too. They look like claws, or should I say fangs.


Awesome mani!


TY for posting the blue one. I think I'm going to get the orange and the purple first.


Love the ones in the L'Oréal & BL (awesome deal!) and the last pic!


WOW!

I have some gradient yellowing, too. I think it's just that the nails have been exposed more to polish on tips.


Tomorrow we are celebrating the 1st of May (we are eve celebrators), and I'm prepared for the carnival:



Lush Lacquer Green Genie.

The Diors are from the Cruise Collection that came out last year. The colors are Mango, Pastèque and Lime.

I love your mani!

I find myself getting more and more interested in indie glitters. I've been hoping Llarowe will restock Winter Hyacinth. I'm adding Green Genie to my list.

PSA: Gilt.com has more Lippmann sets and a coupon for 30% off. MY30 The coupon is one time use.

The sets are already discounted from their full price if purchased individually, but the 30% makes the savings even better. I ordered 3 sets and the polishes are full size. I've been focused mainly on Lippmann glitters until now. Ever since I got the free Girls Just Want to Have Fun GWP, I've been wanting to branch out into her other finishes. I made sure to take advantage of the sale. I got 13 Lippmann polishes for $93. Full price for all of them would be over $200.


Set 1 = $49 ($9.80/bottle), $34.30 after 30% ($6.86/bottle)

  • Lara's Theme
  • Sweet Dreams
  • On the Beach
  • My Old Flame
  • Yellow Brick Road

Set 2 = $49 ($9.80/bottle), $34.30 after 30% ($6.86/bottle)

  • Stormy Weather
  • Single Ladies
  • Hit Me With Your Best Shot
  • Dark Side Of The Moon
  • Don't Tell Mama

Set 3 = $35 ($11.67 /bottle), $24.50 after 30% ($8.17/bottle)

  • No More Drama
  • Believe
  • Nefertiti

Sweet Dreams is the only one I already own. I'll probably just give it to my daughter. I wish the code wasn't one time use. I'm thinking now I should've grabbed the set with the pink and red polishes.

OMG---I go to bed and awaken to this beauty and absolute bliss. Those Dior's have been on my radar screen for some time now. I think the add that I saw originally for them said summer 2013. Regardless, I need them in my life and I alerted my Sax SA a couple of weeks ago. I hope they are full-size, and I hope they're not going to be exclusive to any one store!

That Green Genie mani is GORGEOUS. Certain manis and colors and hues just make my heart dance----this is one of them!!

Out of curiosity, how much does it cost to post, say, 5 bottles of NP to the US?

Here we have this stupid slot thing at the post office. If the envelope doesn't fit through (it's less than 3.5 cm wide so no NP's going to fit through that, even without the obscene amounts of bubble wrap I use) the envelope classifies as International Packet and it's a fixed EUR18.05 up until 2kg (to the US - Europe's cheaper, obviously). Much as I'd love to do some CPs it really isn't worth it for a few bottles. Good for 15 or so bottles though.

Incidentally, Kruidvat's about to start a BOGOF on all NP and nail care stuff so if anyone's after a big Catrice, Essence, whatever haul, gimme a shout

Anneri & Buick, that's very sweet of you both. I'd sooner look for formidable dupes than have you go through any hassles w/CPs.

No hassle, hun! None at all!

Also, it gives me the opportunity to buy nice stuff even if I've to give it away afterwards.

You know I thought I saw both you and HOB with photos of M, P & L, but I also saw an AD for Summer 2013---Repromote perhaps???

I did a polish change last night: Chanel's Azure. The hubster said, "That's a pretty color"

That he even noticed is SHOCKING!

So pretty!

I finally gave myself a mani last night. Chanel Tentation with Lippmann Candy Shop to accent. Boy, was I out of practice. The combination of shorter nails and not doing anything to them for a while meant polish got everywhere. I cleaned up as best as I could. I hope it's sunny for me to take a pic tomorrow. It's cloudy and the polish looks red instead of fuchsia in my camera.

Thanks fro the swatches CC. Nymphea and Nudge are dissimilar enough to justify both. I'm so afraid of using Nymphea because it's so pretty and I didn't get a backup. I can see the subtle differences between Lilis & Riviera. Chanel NPs stick around longer than most other LEs so I'm not rushing out to get Lilis.

You know I thought I saw both you and HOB with photos of M, P & L, but I also saw an AD for Summer 2013---Repromote perhaps???

Hmm, maybe it is a repromote. I'm not sure. I only know it as the Cruise 2013 collection.

It seems to be a Holiday 2012 collection I think, after reading the article ( Cafe Makeup ), I don't think this collection is for summer 2013 but maybe I am wrong. Dior Mix 2013 is the summer collection I guess.
