That polish is one of my favorite shades! It's Exquisite by Formula X

Oh, btw, I still got my wine

Omg, thanks for letting us know. I was genuinely worried about that!

Have you ever tried seche vite topcoat? It's ahhmazing!

I've actually been reading a lot about this one! I'll have to look into it. I just bought the Formula X topcoat on sale, do you have any experience with that one?

agreed

Two recommendations!! I added to my Amazon cart, buried between layers of Christmas gifts for the kiddies. How did that get there!?

I see you got one vote for MUFE and one for ABH. Allow me be the tie breaker. I much more prefer the MUFE shadows to the ABH. That's not to say the ABH shadows are terrible but if I only had money to purchase one more color from either brand I would pick the MUFE shadows without question. Now for the ABH there are some colors that I believe you must have. Like Pink Champagne, Rosette, Chocolate Truffle, Macaroon and Henna. However I think that the MUFE shadow formula is so creamy and butter, the pigmentation and vibrancy are great. Now I've always turned to MUFE for mattes and I used to despise their Diamond shadows. Currently I still find their mattes amazing and now I love the Diamond shadows as well. I think that when MUFE introduced their new formula of shadows a lot of other companies followed suit. So yes other companies are debuting formulas that are similar to the MUFE one. I currently have over 30 of the MUFE and I know I will be purchasing more.

I hope this isn't too long-winded and makes sense. Long story long...MUFE!

You have me sold!! I'm going to go for MUFE and maybe grab some ABH shimmers if I have a little extra cash in the next week or two after all my Christmas shopping. I'm looking at M-500, M-636, and M-650, but I'm not 100% if that will all work nicely together? They're boring but I think I want to start with a solid few warm-neutral base colors and keep building from there. Any thoughts on these choices? You seem to be an expert on these lol

ugh seche is horrible. pulls nail color and peels of nails super fast
try poshe

I'll look into this one too! Out of curiosity, what do you mean by pulling colour?

ok

She is SOOOOOOOOOOOO adorable!!! She is so cute & a very happy baby. They were home for 3 days. She didn't want to go to bed because she wanted to play with G&G LOL! Yes, her first Christmas - so exciting!

I have that X top coat & it's pretty nice.

Her first experience with a very real looking Santa. He was so real looking that I wrote down a wish list & handed it off to him on the way out She's wearing the Kate Spade cardigan I bought her

Has anyone had success using their code twice? I'm just curious if it works before I venture down to a Sephora inside JCP. Thanks!

How cute!! They always love playing with grandparents, they're more fun than mom and dad lol. And she seems to like Santa! Mine were always kicking and screaming when we tried to get photos with him. Maybe this year!

I used mine online and then in store also

They ARE incredibly super soft. I'm done shopping for everyone else (ok, except for baby girl which I will never be done lol). Santa was super sweet, as always.

I love everything about this! I for one love my "juice" too!
I may actually get into our Trader Joe's this holiday season...it is brandy new, just opened Sept 2015! What is your favorite "juice" from them?

I also love everything about you being a grandma! That is one loved baby!

Oh and your ring is very stylish! Santa is indeed a sweetie!

Our TJ is brand new too. It just moved down the block from the old one they moved out of. We get their brand Merlot & some Pinot Grigio.

I love that ring, it's such an elegant statement piece. Hubs picked it out all on his own before we got their lol. He did good.

She's everything! Being grandma is the best thing EVER Ohmygosh, you should have heard me in Nordies baby dept. yesterday lol. I kept grabbing everything & holding it up, saying...look how adorable this is We bought her a 6 pack of THE cutest printed animal socks for her stocking

btw...juice does a body (mind) good

I loved the formula x at first and then it gets really thick and nasty even my seche restore couldn't fix it.

ugh seche is horrible. pulls nail color and peels of nails super fast
try poshe

I didn't care for Poshe. Seche never peels on me and I don't expirience pulling anymore. I wrap the tip with color polish then again with seche and they don't "pull"

 

[Monsy]

seche is outdated formula. there are so many new great top coats on the market right now. i do love gel setter from essie and caviar one from nails inc.

I need to try gel setter. Caviar leaves brush strokes on my nails and that's a big thumbs down.

If there is anyone here who is not using their sephora promo (like 15,20 or 25 off 50) I would LOVE to have it! Or if you used your code online but don't plan on going in store to use the JCP barcode (yes you can use that in stores if you already used the promo at sephora.com or in a sephora store) I would be happy with that as well!

Also, if you find yourself getting bubbles in your polish, it might not be the top coats fault. Bubbles usually show up if you shake your nail polish improperly. You add air into the polish when you shake it all over, or if you brush your brush over your nails too many times. This was easily avoided when I worked in a salon if we just rolled the polish between our hands instead of violently shaking .

Also another note, VIBBOOST is a new promo code where you can get 4 deluxe minis of Origins stuff! For VIB and VIBR only.

 

[Monsy]

I Agree on no shaking and also bubbles most of the time start happening when top coat starts getting thicker.

I want to try the shape tape so badly but I'm not sure what color to get. I'm looking at deep which has peach undertones and seems to be too dark but then sand tan which has yellow undertones seems to light.

I think I'm just going to get both lol

 

[LavenderPearl]

Omg, I missed her in the Chanel thread, but baby girl is sooooooooo freaking adorable, Elegant! Words cannot describe You are both so blessed to have each other as grandma and grandbaby, respectively!

I feel a similar quandry...I was on board for the Medium and /or Tan Sand, which appears lighter than Tan. I did sign up for a restock notice, hoping it may happen by Sunday.
