I've been thinking about the same thing, too. I looked at the swatches. So, Show Orchid has more fuchsia/purple sheen? Since I have Gladiola and Petals & Peacocks, I skipped Show Orchid. I almost ordered it though.

He has no idea what he missed.

Winnie, thank you for the description of the look!

Aww thank you, hun!

Hmm now I've only used the SCF quad once, but I remember I created a very dramatic look out of it. But that look was dark and smokey, whereas the look I'm wearing in this picture is more soft and light smokey, if that makes sense.

But no worries, I'm sure you can experiment and create your own super hot look.

Not a problem! It was a very simple look and I didn't use many products or spent too much time on it.

But that was 'cause I was already running late.

Do post a pic if you attempt to do your own look - I wanna see you rocking Blooming Lovely too.

I haven't used my Blue India either. I took it out of the box once to have a look and that's it. I don't often do my nails but this colour was too pretty to pass over. I must work up the motivation to do my nails with it soon.

Me too! It looks too pretty to use. I hope that won't be the case when I receive my Marine Life as well.

Haha, Winnie, I'm a shiest person on Internet, so I don't know if you'll see me rocking Blooming Lovely anytime soon. Hope it will happen in the future.

[peachsuns]

Awww, you girls are the sweetest.

Winnie, you look gorgeous! Glad you look this good after your surgical procedure. Your doctor probably already told you you are young and will recover your energy very quickly.

Yes she did tell me that I'm young and will recover fast, but I was still amazed at the speed of my recovery. I was already out shopping just 2.5 weeks after a major surgical procedure.

I think it's been 6 weeks now and I'm already almost back to normal.

Thanks for the compliment!

On the whole I think I look better now that I've left my health battles behind, and I also feel stronger both spiritually and mentally.

 

[peachsuns]

Glad you're recovering quickly, Winnie! You're strong and beautiful inside and outside.

You look lovely Winnie! A health issue can sometimes be a black cloud hanging over you. It's so refreshing to hear you say that

On a side note, just thought i'd remind everyone that the summer heat is here - TAKE CARE OF YOUR LIPPIES. I just found a melted Blooming Lovely in my stash

I don't think i'll sleep well tonight... i'm pretty sure it's sold out everywhere

 

[LMD84]

^ oh no!this makes me sad ;( i hope you can find another lippie. luckily thee uk never gets that hot that my lippies melt... however i will certaintly be checking on super hot days!

Thank you.

Hmm could you melt it and keep it in a little pot or something? I live in sunny Singapore, but I haven't seen a single melted lippie yet (not that I'm hoping to see one of course).

Winnie, all the best and take care
