This is gorgeous. Your nail length is perfect too.i have so many swatches to share but im most excited about a find at UO. they didnt have the new holos or luna. BUT i found Mystic= DL ray of light dupe.its very gorgeous and dark, and vampy and cool with the green/orange/golden flakies! pure love. the first coat its a lit bit hard but the 2nd one makes it perfect.
i also went to claire's. im kind of ashamed to go there lol but i go directly to the polish section. i got their Matte top coat, and Splatter Paint+ which thought it was a dupe for the loreal confetti but it has bar glitter.
from sallys i got 2 orly's Peaceful opposition and High on hope. they had the Orly pixel and mash up collections and the China G. texture ones and glam-holos out.
i also got 2 beyond the zone hair dyes. the turquoise and blue berry. they had them on sale. has anyone in here dyed their hair in such colors? i need help lol
here is mystic!
And you need to post pics of your hair if you dye it!

That one is really nice. I read that there are two versions though, one having less of a holo effect. I really like the one I got, not sure which version that would be then.

CC WTR with essence hello holo on top. My favorite holo mani ever.

Wow MRV---they sure are GORGEOUS!!!!
That would be really interesting! Although I'm not 100% sure if I should venture to make polish myself. I'm a really practical and careful person, but sometimes I tend to have these freak accidents.
I meant discounted. I got April and June for 50% off, but for some reason not all of them were discounted. That's an awesome deal!!!
I got my CG neons!!!My phone can't even handle the colours:

What's going on?
I don't have that shape anymore, I was trying to grow a long almond shape almost stiletto like back then, so that was my try at that, lol. Maybe I should go back to it,

Yeah, I think I will try that shape again sometime. Right now they're short and I like how it feels. Not so much how it looks tho.

I actually really love that slightly pointy almond shape!!! I keep trying to get mine like that but always fail - even trying to describe it to a manicurist always ends in failure. You have small nail beds like me. Do you have tiny hands too? When my nails are too short it looks like I have baby hands - it's annoying.That one is really nice.

In other news, I got my Orly Mash Up collection today - wound up being more cost effective to get the whole set discounted online rather than just buying 4 locally. Sparkling Garbage really is
I finally also got CG Whirled Away, which is totally awesome. I don't even understand why it got some bad reviews - it applies like a dream. I'd love to try it in some sort of mix 'n match manicure involving the pale pink and green Textures and maybe the hot pink from Mash Up.

Medgal - which ones are you craving??
I know I want all of the greens, teals and purples for sure, plus the peach (although I do already have and love Mimosa's Before Mani's - why did they spell it that way, ding-durn it??) I am not that big of a pink nail person so I wish I could narrow down the pinks and corals in this collection, but I get the feeling I'll wind up with the whole set.
I still do have plenty left of the CG neons from last year. My favorites from that collection were Surfin' For Boys (PERFECT match for Party Parrot lipstick), Beach Cruiser (the magenta - awesome with Petals and Peacocks) and Pink Plumeria (perfect with Flamingo). Can you see how I love to match my nails and lips, especially with unexpected colors, rather than just classic red lip/nail?

huh i didnt get anything from last years collection but im going to google those you mentioned and probably get them. i have and love all those lipsticks!! im glad you like SG its the star of the mash up collection.
Yes! Tiny hands*, short fingers and small nail beds. I can definitely relate to the baby hands problem. That's why I hate taking pictures of my hands.I actually really love that slightly pointy almond shape!!!

In other news, I got my Orly Mash Up collection today - wound up being more cost effective to get the whole set discounted online rather than just buying 4 locally. Sparkling Garbage really isThe pink and lavender are pretty dupable, but I can give 'em out as presents to some friends who do their nails. I also got the rest of the CG Texture collection - it's totally trendazoid, but they're cute. I won't stress out if I wear them a few times and then never again, but they're definitely nice in a mixed manicure. Last week I really enjoyed using Ablaze np on the thumb and pinkies and the orange, rose and blue textures on the middle nails. The Textures can cling to dirt a little - I'd just cellophaned my hair and the purple dye would snag on the texture and not really wash out. No biggie - I'm not exactly expecting to use these up, so the more I reapply them, the more I'll feel like I'm getting my money's worth anyways.

I'm still thinking about getting the orange one from the Mashup collection. Not sure if I need it.
I actually thought of you, Liba. I got a Shiseido blush the other day and thought to myself Liba would like this too. It's the shade called Medusa, it's a very finely milled highlighter, no shimmer, and it gives a very soft blue sheen. Think Elude with a subtle blueish glow.
'and tiny feet as well. Which is even more annyoing. I just got these nice Jil Sander shoes today (http://www.yoox.com/de/44492703fg/item?dept=women#cod10=44492703FG&sizeId=), I wanted to treat myself to a fancy pair of shoes for once, and they're way too big even in size 36 (guess that's 5 or 6 in US size). Back they go. Le sigh.

I love all the jellies.
Btw CC, I had to smile at your post about making indie polishes yourself - because I kinda want that too. I'd imagine it would be amazing, like doing potions in Hogwarts.

I did a new mani today with YSL Bleu Majorelle.
My nails were stained pink after removing Chanel Tentation. I didn't think the color was that strong.
