Glad that you're back!
Brick has moved up my list of pencils to get.
DiorDiablotine is more cherry red to me than coral red.Either way, you must at least swatch it.
I could just dive into that water! It's so blue. Your pedi is perfect with it.
That is such a pretty coral. We have salon and drugstore Essie versions here, too. My understanding is that there's no difference with the formula. It's just that the bottles and the labeling are different. We had a discussion about it way back when I bought my first Essies and noticed the different bottle designs. I like the salon bottles better and decided to start buying those instead. Thankfully I only had 3 or 4 of the drugstore Essies to switch over. I gave the drugstore versions to my daughter. I think I can still compare them to see if there's a formula difference.
I need the new BLKR polish and lipstick. I'll wait for the next NARS sale to pick them up.
That was a great deal and you picked great colors. It was really hard, but I decided to skip the sale. I had the new fall collection sitting in my cart and everything. I'm really trying to make an effort to cut back, and I know there are a handful of other polishes I want to get before July is over, like the Enchanteds. I hope there will be another similar Butter sale soon in August. It seems like it's been forever since Nordies did their B2G1 sale.
Med! I was wondering where you were. I was going to start asking about you.
Also, Saks has some "new" Dior colors listed on their site. Don't buy them. They're just mislabeled permanent colors. It's happened before and I suspected this was the case, but I had to make sure and ordered them anyway.
Gri-Gri =Gris MontaignePrincess - Exclusive = Purple Revolution
Silhouette = Masai Red
NowGris Montaigne is going back because I do have it already.Purple Revolution and Masai Red are colors that I planned to pick up eventually, just not yet. There are other Dior colors on my to-buy list with higher priority. I haven't decided if I'm going to return them or keep them since they're already here now.
Thank you !
Yes the Nars collec. is worth the splurge, it's classy. You NEED it lol !
In my opinion Diablotine is a vibrant red coral but not a cherry, every woman should get it, I was asked what I was wearing on toes one day, I said Dior Diablotine !
My current pedi btw : Essie Avenue Maintain + DL Across the Universe !

Any employer would be so fortunate to have you---you really are extremely intelligent & quick witted. I recognized that about you very early on in my interactions on Specktra. Continually sending good vibes your way!!!I compared the salon and drugstore versions of EssieWhere's My Chauffeur?. The brushes are the same.Here, the prices are the same for both, too. But you can get either version at a cheaper with sales and coupons.
I've been waiting for Llarowe to get those shades so that I could get the new colors all together. There's also that glow in the dark color.
That's so precious and a priceless mommy/daughter moment.
The job search =But I expect it to take a while.
I can just picture you in your hammock. It sounds so peaceful and relaxing. I've always wanted to try a hammock, but I think I would end up tangled in it like in cartoons.
I adore my hammock, but sadly our weather hasn't been conducive to its use. I was in it yesterday because today's forecast was for rain---and it's been raining all day. I haven't gotten tangled in my hammock because its solid construction and not the roped kind. I did fall under it once. Hubby was on the patio and didn't see me go under. I yelled help me and he stood up and said where are you? I replied I'm down here---under here. We still laugh about it. He has threatened to find a way to strap me in!!! My daughter comes over and hijacks my hammock!!!

That's a beautiful color on you PDF! If you're looking for something a tad lighter you might like Deborah Lippmann's 'I Know What Boys Like' and/or Butter London's 'Giddy Kipper.' Both are really pretty but not as bright as Bouncer & Butler Please. I took a photo but it's via artificial lighting---dark and cloudy here today. The DL and BL NPs are not as bright as they appear in the photo, yet I think you're able to see that they are still not as bright as Butler Please. Giddy Kipper in particular is gorgeous!

Those look very nice! I looked up some swatches and I think I'll go with I Know What Boys Like when I get a chance to see it in person again.That's a beautiful color on you PDF!

Just got some Wing Dust polishes in After the Storm, Cody Cat, Fairy Blind, Gilt-y Pleasure, Lilacs in June and Sleepless Summer Nights. I missed Steel Town Girl and the Takko polishes. They still say add to cart, but when I try to check out it says they sold out. This was my first time dealing with a restock and now I understand how popular these polishes are. I didn't expect the Takko polishes to sell out so quick, but I'm happy with the Wing Dusts I got.

I missed out on Nirvana, but I did get Steel Town Girl(stalking is hard on a phone, boo) That's the one I wanted most anyway so I won't be too sad. I should have never signed up for those emails Haha!I tried Essie Bouncer It's Me today and I didn't have the problem I had with Sunday Funday. I guess I just had to use less polish on the brush. I didn't know it would dry down almost matte, but that's kinda nice because it dries faster. The colour is so nice and vibrant! I think I would also like a colour that's just a bit lighter than this one. Does anyone know how Butler Please compares to it? Or know of any other polishes that are a bit lighter?Also if I´m able to get on my laptop this evening I think I´ll try to get some polishes from Takko and Wing Dust when Llarowe restocks them. I have my eye on: Takko: Heads Will Roll, Kiss the Sky, Nirvana, Panda-monium and To Infinity and Beyond Wing Dust: After the Storm, Gilt-y Pleasure, Sleepless Summer Nights and Steel Town Girl.

Ugh. I purchased from the restock too. Wasn't trying to get sucked into another brand, but I couldn't resist the Takko polishes. The bottles and the polish are just too pretty. I limited myself to 6 colors. I tried to get Heads Will Roll, but no luck. That was the main color I wanted. I'll try for it again during the next restock. I got Wanderlust in its place.
Takko Lacquer
This makes my first polish purchase for August. I bought 42 47 polishes in July, which includes the 3 Diors I may return. I had a tentative goal to purchase no more than 50.
I'm so proud of myself for cutting back.
EDIT: Oops! I miscounted. Forgot to include the order with Picture Polish Tease and the Lippmanns. I'm still under 50, so that's good.

That's great that you got all those Takko polishes! I'll also try for those again next time and now I'll stalk better. This time I only looked about once every 5 mins, but that's clearly not enough.

As kimibos said, indie polish stalking is worse than MAC. Like 100 times worse.Please show swatches of Steel Town Girl once you get it! I'll just try again next restock

I love your hammock and backyard! Lol. I didn't know there are other hammocks besides the rope one. I'd be out there, too, soaking up the sun whenever I could. It's rainy/cloudy here as well. That's funny about you being hammock-wrecked. You need a life preserver.
