Here is the best shot I've found (full size here http://www.apropos-store.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Vulcano-Embargo-until-Feb.gif): True blue as the main nail color with Hot Chick and Salonu splattered on top.





Here are a couple shots of the bottles:

In this one you can see the NP colors splattered: (EDIT: I'm not sure of the accuracy of those splatters though - the blue looks too dark to be the real thing)

And one of the "Hot Chick" yellow https://instagram.com/p/zLt4hNy2y-/?modal=true

@mkoparanova I'm sure you're right about the sizes. I do remember reading somewhere that they are much smaller than the usual size. I feel like I need to see Mula Lisa in person. In some pics I've seen it look very chartreuse, where in others it looks bright yellow. But I'm sure it's a nice color regardless. Hopefully they'll restock soon!

What do you think of the swatches @allthingsglam ?
https://instagram.com/p/zPy-kQLmpi/?modal=true I think this is the most accurate picture, although the yellow might be even lighter. I was expecting the yellow from the shoes and it was definitely not that. They might get brighter when they are applied over the white nail polish. And I liked the box.

my heart skipped a best dang it now I have to order this and these are the colors I wanted blue and yellow I'm going to be rocking this this spring and summer its pure loveeeee
I saw that in-store the other day. I was too afraid to touch the display, but there is a yellow in the permanent collection already.

Size looked visually similar to the Loubi base/top coat set, IIRC.

Always tough to judge color online, especially with so few photos and swatches available to begin with! I just noticed it's now up on Sephora so those in the US might consider buying from there in case they want to return it if the colors don't meet expectations. I may wait a bit longer for more swatches, though I do love the box as well :)

I was very excited about this set but the colours don't look like that at all IRL.. And the nail polishes are tiny. The yellow is very very pale, not bright like on the picture and the blue is also lighter and more purplish. I didn't buy it, I wish it looked the same as in this picture! 
O nooooo thanks for letting us know

I just looked up the size of the bottles and compared to my base/top coat set.

I guess my eye is pretty darn good after all- they're exactly the same size!

So, he just opened up a store solely dedicated to his beauty 'line' in Paris and it looks absolutely beautiful... http://www.billionaire.com/christian-louboutin/makeup/1412/christian-louboutin-beauty-boutique-makes-paris-debut

And although the Louboutin brand is all about breaking the norm, I just hope to the high heavens this oddly empty space will soon have some other products added that AREN'T nail polish. I was kinda disappointed when it was just announced as a nail polish line. The man does color so well that it's kind of an injustice that there aren't any lipsticks (which should definitely happen at the very least) or eyeshadows -- I know I've mentioned this a few times! The packaging would be amazing. If the line progressed to that I'd definitely be more interested, as I use those products every day and I rarely touch nail polish because of the hassle

A girl can dream, I guess

I picked up another shade during the Sephora VIB sale. The only problem is that I really would like to purchase a warmer color (or rather, something other than blue or purple). As much as I love the formula with the top/base coat, I'm still not willing to shell out full price.

First blogger I've noticed to post swatches:

Crud, I want these. I'll have to settle on one, since they're gold bottles (and I've justified one of each bottle style in my mind for uh, collector's purposes)

Thanks for posting I'm getting the blue one
I need one too! can't decide which color?!? first I wanted blue too but I would wear the pink-gold way more.. they can be totally used as a ring holder when not in use I suppose! none of the other colors in his line got me but these are so pretty + the gold spike! yum!

Alta Perla just found its way to me today, and Scarabee I will be here tomorrow.

I always forget how much I love these polishes. I may have to loosen up my requirements- I noticed I already have 2 Pops, so I can justify at least 1 more Nude, 1 more Scarabee, and 1 more Noir so it looks balanced.

Problem is I want them all!

Scarabee I has arrived. It's one of the prettiest, most work-appropriate duochromes I've ever seen.

On another note, Alta Perla has lasted almost 24 hours without a chip, which is a crazy record for me.

It's gorgeous!! I got it yesterday and I can't wait to wear it!

I'm also considering the one that looks like Chanel Peridot. The blue/green/purple looks stunning in the bottle but it was underwhelming on my nail, it's not very duochrome-y.

I used Mr. Rebates to get 10% cash back AND I had a 10% cash back deal through Bank of America. Nothing like a good deal on a splurge.
