Nail swatches of the China Glaze Cirque du Soleil collection: http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2012/11/China-Glaze-Cirque-Du-Soleil-Worlds-Away-Swatches-Review.html

Get Carried Away, It's A Trap-eze, and Water You Waiting For Are definitely coming home with me once this collection releases here

now that i have seen the swatches i want:
running in circles
its a trape-ze
creative fantasy

 

[BuickMackane]

Nice collection, but i expected a lot more because of the circus theme.

My definite buys are It's A Trap-eze and Running In Circles. Water You Waiting For might also end up in my shopping bag.

Nothing on the Euro-Centrale collection stands out for me. Yet. Perhaps seeing swatches will change my mind.

Trendsetters should expect to get stares. It can't be helped.

I'm looking forward to the new China Glaze collections. I purchase mine from Sally Beauty. The discounted price is great, but it's a pain to go to the store sometimes. They usually sell out of the collection colors quickly and the SAs usually have no clue when I ask them questions. I think I may switch to just ordering them from the website.

Sometimes you can find China Glaze collections on Amazon. I like China Glaze a lot but I have found on occasion that the color in the bottle...the one that I'm expecting, looks different on my nails. That was a tad disappointing for me but I like China Glaze and have quite a few of their polishes

I just picked up Essie's Leading Lady & Beyond Cozy...red & silver respectively, and enough glitter to paint the town. So pretty for the upcoming holidays. My local Bed Bath & Beyond carries Essie's collections and they're cheaper than some of the online sellers. I can't seem to leave a store without buying nail polish. I need help of the twelve-step variety!

I've been rewatching the True Blood series and I thought you said "glamour" instead of "glimmer." I've seen those Deborah Lippmann True Blood polish sets at Nordstrom.

I noticed Superstar is gone too. I received an email confirmation this morning. It says it's processing. I hopes it's not canceled. Sky Line is very pretty and Frisson is on my to-buy list. I swatched it at a Nordstrom Chanel counter once and it's so pretty.

check out Nails Inc.'s Sprinkles collection:

http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2012/07/nails-inc-sprinkles-collection-swatches.html

I thought of this collection too when I saw It's A Trap-eze. I have the white and blue based ones.

I ordered two Orly glitters yesterday (the Mermaid and Shasay ones). I had passed on this collection earlier because I don't do much layering. And then this morning I ordered 4 from the CG Cirque Collection.

Sprinkles was a great collection. I have all four and I absolutely love them. It's hard for me to pick a favourite but it has to be Sugar House Lane. It's one of the most unique polishes in my (rather enormous) stash.

re: Mermaid - great choice!

I had my eye on the Monster, too, but it seems that Monster and Shasay have the same kind of glitter but in different color, and Mermaid and Monster both are green, so I ended up with just the two. I actually saw some swatches at a dept. store which was helpful.

I was eyeing Butter London, too. Where did you order from?

I was eyeing Butter London, too. Where did you order from?

I ordered it from the US website and had it shipped to the address that a colleague of mine was staying during her short US trip

But there are plenty of UK retailers that also stock BL and ship internationally. Cute Cosmetics, Lookfantastic, HQHair, Bath & Unwind, The Beauty Booth to name a few. The only problem is that some of the shades I got were US exclusives so it might be tricky getting hold of those ones. I'm pretty sure I stumbled across Two Fingered Salute on a non-US site but I for the life of me I can't remember where.

Butter London polishes are great! I love my little army of rectangular bottles!

reminds me a bit of Jessica's Showstopper... on steroids!

Although I love butter, I think Zoya polishes are more consistent. I've never had a streaky or bad zoya polish and I have over 30 zoya's. They usually last 5 days with no chips. I love the way storm looks I'm just waiting on another promo so I can get a few other colors.

Thanks for that, I have loved the color range of Zoya for so long, but only tried them once for a pedi--I did not think they chipped so bad, but pretty much most polish is alright for me because I am putting it on top of acrylic nails or UV gel so they stay pretty good, if they aren't really bad in general. I will put up with chipping, because that happens even with the best, but I cannot stand the runny polish or needing 4 or 5 coats just to get the color to be true, I have no patience for that many layers!

Thank you for the shop names! I will look into them. Unfortunately Two Fingered Salute is one I would like to get, hopefully I find it from somewhere.

Okay, Minu is so darn cute--esp. just the view of his wiskers. Well, we all know about cats and their infamous curiosity.

And I am sensing a theme with your recent polish purchases--very wintery, blueish choices. While I am rarely brave enough to wear those colors, they are incredibly pretty just looking at all of them. If you have a way to post pics, I'd love to see your mani with some of these...no pressure, but those colors are all just

of course i can post pics, i have been doing my nails almost everyday because i want to try all the polishes that i have purchased. girl, nail polish can be your best accessory. dare to wear every single color!!!! i have so many polishes that i never get to see chipped nails. so i cant tell how they last in that category. i agree with the coats. i refuse to do more than 2. what i do is that i try to use a white base coat. more than 3 coats means a nail catastrophe in the end, cause it never dries.
