Yeah, I'm really bummed at how Perfect Topping turned out.
I'm not sure if I want it anymore...

Peppermint Patty is very pigmented, you need 2 coats though, otherwise it's streaky. I would use base and top coat as well.

I'm super excited about this collection. I went to Nordstroms a few days ago and preordered the following-
Perfect Topping MSF
Refined MSF (I'm obsessed with MSF so I had to get both
)
Sugarshot e/s
Lollipop Lovin l/s
Tasty l/g
After seeing all the awesome pics here I think I'm going to add the Lemon Chiffon s/s and possibly the Butternutty s/s to my order...Man, this is going to make my wallet cry!

can anyone compare:
Barbie Pearl Blossom BP vs. Refined MSF
I just realized that if I have the Barbie BP, I may not want the Refined MSF..?

I pre-ordered Seasonal Peach nail laquer, the other was too sheer for me and I have an OPI dupe for it already, Perfect Topping MSF, and I'm not an MSF girl, but I really liked it when I swatched it and, of course, Bubbles. I hate the lipglosses even more in person, they looked so cheesy and cheap to me. I have Lollipop Loving and Aquavert, Dear Cupcake just wasn't the pink I was looking for (not a big Satin finish fan either), Sugarshot is gorgeous, but Solar White is similar enough that I didn't need it...I guess overall I wasn't as impressed with this collection as I'd hoped to be.

Thanks for the swatches, I love my shadesticks and prefer them over paint pots any day. Never have any problems with them.
So Cakeshop it is.

FYI: You need to close the caps of the s/s really well, or they will dry out. The cap clicks once, but then it clicks again to completely close them. |

I actually just used this today. I have posted my look under FOTD section so check it out if you like

I like Greenstroke more in your swatches, Ernie. Thank you so much! The lemming for Cakeshop fades now.

I always use a base and top coat but I still will try to get the OPI dupe.
There is more in there and it is cheaper. Wallet likes this!

Me too! I used both today. Greenstroke as a base and then Rondelle, Aquavert, Talent Pool and Big T.

I went out last night and I used Perfect topping as a highlight and a sheen all over basically. I put it on after I put on a bit of contour. At least three people commented on how glowy my skin looked. I reccomend it big time!!!
I usually wear soft and gentle as a highlight out at night, this is not as frosty, a much more subtle glow. It's almost as if it might not even be there but it is!
I also used sugarshot as a highlight last night. It is a really great color!! Anyone that likes a nice white gold highlight will love this.
I love it.

Woah. I forgot about OPI's Get in Lime. Haha, I'm not that curious/lemming Peppermint Patty anymore then
Curiousity question. Is Juxt and Aquavert similar? Is it possible for someone to swatch one please? I have Juxt and my gf insist that they are the same. I'm hoping that Aquavert is actually more of a blue tone? TIA if someone does swatch them

I called Nordstrom today to cancel most of my pre-order. I am trying my hardest to cut my list down to the things I know that I will use. So I am getting both of the MSFs (shock!) and sugarshot eye shadow. I am going to B2M for bubbles and sweet thing.
I, like most of you, prefer paint pots over the shadesticks so I know that I won't give those the love that they deserve. I also know that I would never use peppermint patti nail polish. It is a color that I like but I wouldn't use it on my nails at all.
I am so looking forward to getting the MSFs and eye shadows!!
