you are right guys BUT formula is stunning and brush is something extraordinary. it is wide but it's not flat cut at the edge, it's rounded so it gives perfect manicure in one stroke  they are worth the price ! and that comes from someone who does not usually buy HE polishes . i always stick with essie or opi but lancome stole my heart.  once you get used to a brush and how easy it is to get perfect mani , any other polish you try after it you will realize how much more work it takes 
Thanks! I can't wait to try one!

Polish haul spam! I managed to take these pictures last week after the rest of my hauls were delivered. I'm only getting around to sharing them now.






Picture Polish
ROW 1: Camo, Marine, Tango, Mirage, Revolution glitter base coat
ROW 2: Honey Dew, Peaches N' Cream, Candy, Citrus, Flirt
ROW 3: Paradise, Cosmos, Hope, Peacock, Monroe




ROW 1: YSL Corail Divin 5, Rose Baby Doll, Rouge Dada 6, Prune Minimale 7, Ice Coat 4
ROW 2: NARS Madness, Disco Inferno, Sharplines Duo

NARS Madness is a crazy bright orange. It's like orange juice on crack. I love it. I don't know why I originally said YSL Rose Baby Doll is a bright pink. It's not bright at all. It's more muted and very pretty. I was surprised to see that Prune Minimale has shimmer, but it's subtle on the nail. I only saw slight shimmer under light. Rouge Dada is the Bloomingdale's exclusive color. I thought it would be a magenta color based on the few swatches I saw of it online, but it's a red. Ice Coat is the last polish from the Tie & Dye collection that I had shipped from another Bloomingdale's store. I'm glad I got them all. I also found out the corresponding shades to each top coat.

Cool Coat = Corail Divin 5
Pop Coat = Rose Renaissance 12
Hip Coat = Violine Serrealiste 14
Ice Coat = Bleu Majorelle 18

Deborah Lippmann
ROW 1: (all from the Lippmann Get Nailed set) Before He Cheats, It's Raining Men, Ridge Filler Base Coat, Addicted to Speed Ultra Quick Dry Topcoat
ROW 2: Million Dollar Mermaid, Do The Mermaid, I'm Not Edible, Between The Sheets, Waking Up In Vegas



Deborah Lippmann Get Nailed Set


I really like the Lippmann sit. The bag is foldable. I thought the bag was going to be a carry case. I think I'm going to move my manicure supplies to this bag. I tried the nail polish remover. It works the same as Zoya Remove+ in my opinion. I didn't see any major difference when removing glitters. I'd probably be upset if I paid full price for it. I'm glad I got it in the set with a discount. Remove+ is a much better deal in my opinion. You get 8oz for $10. The Lippmann remover is 4oz for $19. I do, however, really like the Lippmann cuticle remover. It worked quickly and effectively without being too harsh or strong. I can see myself buying it again.

Is the brush like the wide Dior and YSL brushes? I'm completely fond of wide brushes now because of those brands.

It's just gorgeous!! You did very well! Do tell us what kind of pigments & glitters you used.


They look nice, but I usually avoid bridal colours (for obvious reasons). However, I'm kind of intereted in Essie Using My Maiden Name. - True without a wedding!


Lovely! I spotted some Lancômes on eBay for a good price, here they cost about 24-26 Euros

Love them! When on nails, is there any duochrome in Bel-Agrus?
yes.gif
YES


That might be a bit difficult because Tropical has a brown base which could cover Bel-Argus.

Thanks Monsy!
This is my

Chanel May + Darling Diva Cherubic







Picture Polish Paradise




kimibos, the sparkle in Paradise is insane! It's cloudy and my picture doesn't capture the sparkle at all. I do wish it was as opaque as it looks in the bottle. I was surprised that it's so sheer. My picture shows 2 coats, but I did 3 coats on my right hand to see if it would look more like the bottle. There wasn't much of a difference. The polish looks nice on me, but I think it would stand out more against my skin tone if it was as dark as it looks in the bottle. I'll apply a dark purple polish as a base the next time I wear it.

I'm doing a polish change tonight with David Bowie's Bulge.

Got this polish a while back from a VERY sweet friend but I've been waiting for summer to wear them. I couldn't wait any longer and I'm glad I didn't! This is going to get a lot of use this summer. I believe it was from the Neon collection and it's called Mrs. Brightsight

Bleu de flore

Gorgeous manis! They're so perfect.

Monsy, you're making it very difficult to resist the Lancomes. The colors are stunning, they have wide brushes and you say the formula is great. Argh! I also love the accent nail with the flower. Very cute. Did you use one of those dotting tools?

Dang, I just received two Mermaids - Million Dollar and Do the Mermaid. Although Do the Mermaid (purple) is not the one I ordered. I ordered the pink one! It must be the NP Gods working: initially I wanted to get the ones I just received but then decided to order the pink first. I don't know if there's any sense changing it becauce I'm going to order the rest later anyways.

I wanna be you or Medgal when I grow up!

MRV, my purple Franken was a generous dose of Mac's Push the Edge, Softwash Grey and Reflects Pearl.

And that's my next attempt: I chucked some turqoise piggies into a very disappointing glitter top coat. Now it looks like Mac's Undercurrent p/g:

It's a smidgen greener irl and the awesome blue sparkles are invisible in that pic. Boo!
