They have the spring Dior--Sparkle collection up on Nordtrom's web site. Those particular NP colors display as squares instead of circles, which usually means they don't have it. I tested one for my fellow NPAs by adding it to my cart and it worked, so I suppose they're really in!!I kno I already want to go hunting for those spring Diors lol I hopefully will get all of them but prob not all at once. ;(
when I got home I had my topshop np waiting for me! I have never used one before tonight I really love the one I picked. Green Room. I am so surprised I have nothing like it, it's the perfect color I've been looking forit's like BL slapper but more green and jellyish. I have Slapper and Opi Fly and a drugstore version, which are all more blue.
I really want spring ball but all the colors are so pretty I'm scared to go look in person lol
Naughtyp I was wondering about Top Shop too

Such a deep forest green
In keeping with the GREEN theme, after Illamasqua's Mottle I decided ton wear Butter London's Jack the Lad. I'm enjoying it, although it's more vibrant IRL.

Elation Generation's on my wishlist (along with Peaceful Opposition and High on Hope from the same collex) but the eBay seller I get my Orlys from doesn't have them in yet.
Is Budapest close to any of the other lavenders in your stash?

My Purple Haze - Hue Left A Message combo photographed a bit better in daylight. It still looks a lot better IRL.

Lovely Buick...so soft and feminine. Your mani matches that gorgeous eye look that you did with the Spoiled Rich quad. You should see her NPA ladies! Go over and take a look!!! She's stunning I tell you----just stunning http://www.specktra.net/t/180902/mac-x-archies-girls-betty-veronica-collection-discussion-february-2013/11460My Purple Haze - Hue Left A Message combo photographed a bit better in daylight.

Prettypackages, you need a wish list. That might include your favorite brands and then the colors within that brand that have been mentioned and displayed here by all of these avid NPAs, or just other sources like magazines---or whatever. Within your list you might want to prioritize by the NPs that you want first/limited editions prone to early sell-out. If you're going to be a Ninja/Olympic NP shopper you need to put a little method behind the madness. Just watch CC & Naughtyp---they are VERY skilled at this.
I saw that and thought it might be time for an intervention if Naughtyp is going all the way to Dallas to find nail polish
the perks of being a shopaholic lol sometimes I find stuff not on my list and get it anyways but I do try to get the very special LE ones first and then go from there. lol that's too funny I didn't even realize I wrote Dallas lmao!i love Jack the lad on you I should still try to grab that one.
I went to Sally's to get CG fancy pants to use my $5 off coupon for opening a sallys card and the 2 for $11 pulled me in once again so I also got Tart-y for the party. I thought it would be like opi your such a Budapest but TFTP is much more vibrant. glad I have both still
none of the counters I went to had the Diors yet so I picked up Up the Amp finally at mac lol. and got a few things. at Victoria's Secret and BBW. had coupons for some freebies so I totally scored today
i still want more np tho lol. ughhhhh!!! I'm gonna try to get the UO holos and the couple Zoyas at ulta besides the spring colors. I think ima try n get Jem and Yasmeen (Yasmin)?
medgal the topshop np is nice!! just a lil tip wear but I'm a cashier so I use my hands a lot at work and at home but it's held up nicely. I will be getting some more whenever there's a dry spell in np land lol. I added BL frilly knickers over it last night it looks so pretty!! ima try to find that Dior on Nordies see if I can get it
Happy belated bday Corally and HOB!!

Squeal! My Diors were delivered! I included a pic of my Butter London haul, too. I wish I had better lighting.
ROW 1: Shadow, Orchid, Poison, Bond Street, Golden Jungle Duo
ROW 2: Bikini, Calypso, Cosmo, Acapulco, Lagoon
I'm going to use the Golden Jungle Duo for my next mani. I'm so curious to see how it will turn out. I wish you all could see how beautiful the purples are, especially Orchid. I had to hunt down Acapulco and Lagoon. The boutique didn't have them anymore and I wanted to complete the set with Calypso and Cosmo. I'm glad I found them. Now I have another yellow. That's make three!
ROW 1: Slapper, Macbeth, Snog, Squatter

I missed some posts when Specktra went screwy. Love the mani, jenny.The worst thing is when it grows out enough to snag on things - like clothes - but not quite enough to cut off clean. Drives me crazy!
I've always had issues with my thumbnails doing this - I think it's probably the legacy of being a nail biter for so long. But this time I have a break on my index finger as well. Weather could definitely be an issue. I don't think lack of protein in my diet is a problem, but I might add some calcium to my daily supplements to see if that helps.
As you know I've started having similar yellowing issues, so there could be something to that theory. Seems like we're 'nail problem twins' CC!
I've been changing my polish twice a week - three days of wear is about as much as I get from most polishes, so I usually have bare nails for a day a week. With this breakage I might have to cut down too. My own unused basket is getting fuller rather than emptier at the moment, so I don't want to
My word, I think you're right about being nail problem twins. I've experienced nail bed breaks of my thumbnails forever. It's a common occurrence for what seems to be no reason. They've been happening less for the past couple of years. I wish I knew why. But I've been getting the nail bed breaks on other fingers like you. That bothers me. But my nails seem to be rebounding after I stopped using the nail hardner. I think the only way to fix the yellowing is for it to grow out.

I'm not familiar with Lush products. I see the name mentioned a lot, but haven't ventured to try anything. I think I'm going to try the Dior. I'll pick it up during Nordstrom's triple points.
EDIT: Wait, you don't have any Illamasquas? I thought you did. Get to it, woman!
