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!

Gorgeous, Naynadine!

Those multicolor sparkles are awesome

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.

I checked out "the other department store" yesterday and saw the Chanel Summer Collection! I hope I can get Azuré and Bel-Argus

. I also finally saw OPI Oz polishes IRL. I might be tempted to get 1-2 glitters from that collection in June, once I have hauled all the LE collections on my list. They were also selling all OPI LEs (except for Oz and Central Europe) for 30% off, but I can still get OPI cheaper from the US.

Instead I found Dior Nirvana for 50% off

and finally received my Abricot Creme!

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?
I'm actually wearing MBM atm. Do you mean Sun of a Peach? I think it will be very different on nails. In the bottle it looks much lighter and whiter than MBM. Shell-o looks lovely, too.


I was wearing this mani earlier this week (the phone cam just destroys it): a reverse accent with BL Slapper (such an intense green teal!

) and Emily de Molly Falling Skies (holo-ish glitters).

yesterday I was stuck waiting for some peeps to process an order so stepped into a beauty supply place next door~ I picked up 4 CG on sale from the last holiday collection. 3 reds and a green sparkly holo gorgeousness that glints in the shade even. I almost caused accidents looking at my accent nail today {the only green one} If you haven't seen it yet you might want to check out Winter Holly. These swatches are close to real life on my monitor :http://pamsan.wordpress.com/2012/11/08/china-glaze-winter-holly/

I recently ordered DL's Ray of Light from whatshebuys.com.

If I dyed my hair purple & blueberry my family would have me committed.

funny story bout Chanel ... my husband asked what the girls should get me for mothers day. Well, I haven't picked up Taboo yet because I only like one SP at my local mall and she hasn't been in when I go and so I asked for that or a couple of cookbooks. During our daily call {he calls me every day during his lunch to ask how I am doing
heart.gif
} he said he couldn't pick it up because he went to two different shops a Macy's and a Dillards in a mall we normally do not frequent and when he asked for it he was told that it was a drugstore perfume. He told them no not Tabu but Taboo the nail polish and the Chanel reps at both shops had no clue because all they sell is perfume.

I am glad we don't live out near that mall cus I would go insane. Seriously.
OMG...that's wild. I think you can still get Taboo at Chanel online.

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.
Do you want a very bright orange with a tiny bit of a coral cast, rather than straight traffic cone? Are you interested in a rubber/satin finish? Then I'd say this is a great color! The bright peach colors we're seeing creep in, like Mimosa's Before Mani's and the upcoming CG and MAC peaches are a little bit "newer" for the fingernails, but for whatever reason, I feel like neon orange is my favorite pedicure color for the summer, bar none and the Mash Up one is the nicest one I own.

OMG, your Shiseido tempting is getting under my skin!:p Is it scented? I was using some Shiseido skincare products this past year and didn't care for the fragrance.

Pink & peach! I love the way neons look against my brown skin. I wore Chanel's Mimosa one day this week and started craving bright colors. You wouldn't know it though because I then changed my polish to Chanel's Eastern Light topped with Dior's Crystal & gel top coat. IRL my nails look like snow glistening in moon light. It looked really sharp with my beige, black & white outfit.
