Dang! I was desperately wanting the neutral one. I'm literally just about out of my Say Yeah! shadow that came out a few years ago, and I ran out of Sable a while ago--one of my staples. I dunno if I want to chance it being at the CCO, I might have to grab this one

Thanks for the notice!

I haven't hauled much from this collection like I wanted to because I went crazy shopping instead

.

I hope not much will be sold out by next Monday, I've been to a few counters and Shell Pearl is sold out almost everywhere already

I'm a little underwhelmed by it myself. It is an interesting color but I just bought so many dang polishes over the past couple weeks that I think I like better (namely CG's Up&Away polishes- dang they're so pretty!).

lol You too??? I bought the entire Up & Away collection haha I love it!
Im into NP right now. I bought some OPI too. So that is probably why Blue India doesn't stike us hard bc we have found better colors.

10 more days to wait!!

 

[only1angel]

I miss a few days, and then I have SO much catching up to do lol

How's everyone enjoying their hauls? I ended up returning Blue India, Peachstock and Blooming Lovely. But I'm LOVING what I did keep- although I'm still SO SO on Shell Pearl lol. It doesn't seem to make a difference with or without, but I'm still going to keep it and make it work since it's sold out and I don't want to regret getting rid of it.

Teresita- sorry about the swatches, I will get them up tomorrow! I'm sorry, but what else did you want me to compare Birds & Berries with besides Jinx? I can't find the page where you mentioned it.

I just posted my Give Me Liberty of London tutorial video on my youtube page if you guys want to check it out! Don't forget to comment, rate & subscribe

Thanks! I was at the "dumpy" CCO at Potomac Mills last week and they didnt have any holiday stuff yet. The Leesburg one usually has a lot more items so I may go up there this week. Ironically the dumpy one is the one that had the Mont Black

. I call it dumpy because it hardly ever has anything good there

The color is different out of the bottle to me. I'd describe it as a dusty demin blue with gray tones. If you like bright, they will see you coming colors, then this is not for you. My client loved it because while it is blue, it's definately "office friendly" and would likely not compete with anything that she is wearing. It's certainly an interesting blue that I have not seen before. Typically she goes for dark vampy colors. She got 4 compliments yesterday in Blue India though. I'll probably gonna put it on myself this week and I rarely wear polish.

Yes indeedy! I'm so excited. I must cut back my wishlit though, it's getting out of control! I have to keep telling myself that I don't NEED that scarf!

Wearing Bough Grey today and loving it! It looks wonderful with Paradisco, BTW.

Petals & Peacocks is going back, I'm afraid. It's just not worth keeping - does not work on me, too purple. I'll stick to Show Orchid.

 

[lovesongx]

My list for when LOL is released in the UK (soon, yay!):
Lipstick in Petals & Peacocks, Blooming Lovely and Ever Hip
Lipglass in Perennial High Style
Eyeshadows in Birds & Berries and Bough Grey

Might also get Lipglass in English Accents depending on how scary the total is, Art Supplies is coming out on the same day

I haven't worn Paradisco for ages! I will definitely try these two together! Sounds like a great alternative to grey and teal

Aww, don't worry! No need to apologize

The other colour I was suggesting to be mixed with Jinx is Flipside. They are right beside eachother

I'm unable to physically compare but I've still made this my reason to skip B&B

Okay I just swatched them for you!

You want the good news or the bad news first???

The bad news- Jinx and B&B are completely different! Jinx is more blue toned while B&B has a greenish tint to it. I mixed Jinx and Flipside, and while it is almost close to B&B, it is still much lighter. Because Jinx and Flipside are so shimmery, it's when you get out in the light that makes the blue pop out more- making them different from B&B!

Good news- I came up with a SUPER CLOSE dupe for you

I mixed Flipside, Jinx AND Misdemeanor!!!! It is almost an exact match!!! I'm going to put up swatches for you right now!!!!.........

 

[shontay07108]

I think the the appeal of Blue India is it's truly different. In the bottle it may seem similar to other blues, but there's a greenish gray cast to it when applied on the fingers. This is just an awesome color.

 

[only1angel]

Okay, here are the swatches. I tried taking the pics in different lighting.

First swatch from the left is mixed- Flipside, Misdemeanor, then to add the bluish tint to make it close to B&B, I topped it off with a layer of Jinx

Second is Birds & Berries

Third is Jinx

Last swatch is Jinx+Flipside
