girl I would have ordered them if I could too!! lol
I am really trying to figure out my must have now np. I think it's the blue EL one.
but maybe I should just use ones that I bought and haven't even wore yet lol ( I think I have at least 20).
I'm going to get the 3 zoya polishes so I think maybe I need to get another lip balm or eyeshadow from apres chic instead. ;( wish I could get it all!!

Jo is indeed beautiful. As are Dannii, Jules, Zara and Tallulah. I didn't mention them before because they're not cremes.

So there are two polishes by the same name? It's so confusing when companies do that! The LVL I know is hot pink with a purple flash.

ya the other one is way more purple so that's the one I'm going to get. I don't get why companies do that :/ I really hope I'm able to get some of the Zoyas I want I made a list of like 10 just in case lol

lol im with you I need to be on a no buy but I'm not gonna make it lol it's mainly I have no extra $$$ whatsoever I needed car stuff and school stuff this paycheck. at least it gives me two weeks to see if there's any new reviews or swatches of all the spring collections that will help me narrow down my list..... until the summer sets come out anyways!! lol I just have to remind myself of that. over and over..... there's more to come I don't need every single np of every collection lol


I went to Nordies stopped at Mac first they didn't have the lip balm I wanted so I went to the np section lol I ended up getting EL dilettante but I keep looking at my nail with lilac leather..... guess ill have to pick that one ip eventually....if its still around!! lol I have no. will power. I'm still going to check Sally's and ulta again.... there goes my gas money lol

LOL  lmao.gifIt's just way too hard--I know!  I really liked that EL Dilettante but it looked so close to the EL turquoise that I already have.  I wouldn't have ordered any but I needed to spend more to get the GWP, which included the face primer and night serum that I use.  The way I see it, a girl has to do what a girl has to do.  I only needed to spend $75 to get the GWP and I did that with my full sized Night Serum and ONE NP.  The others just looked so pretty (and lonely) and I couldn't resist.  I don't know what has gotten into me because I don't usually fall into that GWP trap.  

nope.gif  thud.gif

lol that's good that u usually don't fall for it cuz I do! I actually went n looked at more np at ulta I couldn't decide what to get I picked two that weren't even on my list! damn lol n I didn't use either one to paint my nails right now ;( I also counted how many unused np I have and I was totally off its over 40!! not 20 lol
so I am really going to try not to buy any until I use them all. because I have too many that are almost the same. I just can't allow myself to do that with every color.....

rofl.gif  I'm too chicken to count my unused NPs.  I'm sure it's a lot because I'm buying them faster than I can use them!!  You are so correct--when you're attracted to a certain color you buy NPs in that color family and they do look similar---because they are!!!  I have an over abundance of PINK NP.  How many shades of pink do I need?  But every time I see pink NP I have to have it.

That's a good idea---not buying anymore NP until you've used what you have----at least once!  I need to try that too!!!

Oh,really?That is good to know.I thought that you need long(er) nails for using nail wraps.

 

But maybe I should try them then!

Honestly speaking I havent' and I don't intend to. Some Sephora girls wear them, it's pretty on them but I do prefer regular normal nail polishes. The Essie nail wraps look pretty though !

Zoya ladies fixed your shopping carts yet? pompom.gif

 

I popped out to get some groceries today but ended in Kruidvat instead. I got two bottles of NP from the Essence Snow Jam collection. Yay for Koopzondagen! 

 

I think the collection has 4 NPs. The following link has swatches of 3 of them:

 

http://www.lovevarnish.com/2013/01/essence-snowjam-te.html

 

I got the periwinkle and the teal. I was going to get the other two as well, but I figured the purple wasn't all that special and the white was too sheer. I drooled a bit over the new Catrice Neons but walked out without any because they weren't the retina searing neons I hoped they would be. They are otherwise very pretty colours.

I wish there was a top coat that turned polishes into neons! th_thdeadea.gif.

re: Orly stuff - that's a very good deal! Which base coat did you get? Armor's awesome thmbup.gif

 

re: Essence - I think Ulta carries Essence in the States. I don't know if they get all the LE collections though. I really like Essence NPs. Sure, they're no OPI but they have some really nice shades and they're cheap as chips (though to be fair, they're only 8ml so the likes of China Glaze may actually turn out to be better value per ml). And the new bottles are too cute! fluffy.gif

I have mine ready (zoya cart)lol I wonder if. I should add more than 3 to my cart in case some sell out? I want Rory, Zuza and I was going to get Wednesday but now I'm not sure I just got the EL one plus CG For Audry , Essie where's my chauffer? and illamasqua nomad that i have yet to use and I want Essie t&C and mint candy apple and I plan on getting the mint BL and I already have mac In the limelight and revelon minted. I think maybe I should pick a different color... I kno none of the ones I listed are really dupes and I am getting Zuza for sure ( hopefully!!) I wish there was a purple like rory and zuza...

kimibos how did u get that deal lol I would only get 4 orlys for that price! that's awesome lol

I'm not aware of a purple in the same finish as Rory and Zuza. There's Zara, which is a light purple with copper shimmer and Adina - light purple with green duochrome. Both are pretty sheer, so definitely 3-coaters. If you want to go a bit darker there's Lotus and Tru (OPI has a dupe for this one). If you want to go even darker there's Mimi, Julieanne and Yasmeen. Rihana is also a nice colour, but much warmer.

Drugstore polishes really surprise me sometimes. In a good way!

 

My biggest disappointments, on the other hand, have been high end NPs. Sometimes you don't get what you pay for. My most recent high end NP was Dior's Waterlily. Beautiful colour and finish, but application sucks. Gloop city! I'm normally happy to deal with crap application but not when I pay HE prices.

Typical, isn't it - I've seen the Essence display all over the place and wasn't impressed by the polishes. Now Buick posted the review, I suddenly develop a lemming, and I bet you a lot that when I go out later every display will be empty. Sheesh!

 

Wish we had WnW over here.
