love.gif....looks beautiful, honey on boost!

 

And completely different from Gris Montaigne.At first I thought that they

might be similar but they are not at all.

 

GT looks more like Essie Chinchilly.

So gorgeous! bouquet.gif  I haven't even worn mine yet!!  I totally love the length of your nails, and your manis are so neat and perfect looking.  I love long nails but I can't maintain them--I'm always breaking one and I'm not into fake nails.  I don't even know what the latest & greatest techniques & products are.

I bought some nail polish corrector pens from eBay. They dry out quickly but I filled them with nail polish remover and they work just fine.

Yes and no. I did not put it right - did not mean the cuticles bangin.gifbut the (flawless and perfectly rounded) edge of the polish next to cuticles. The corrrector pen I have from OPI is bulky as a log. So not up for that task. I wish there were some disposable 'heads' you could dip into polish remover and voilà!

I know the flakies aren't really visible in this pic so you'll have to believe me when I say they're shiny, squishy and drop dead gorgeous!

 

This polish is so lovely! Pink, but warm. Had to order two more DLs today: Let's go Crazy & Cleopatra in NY among other polishes whistle.gif

I'm not a huge pastel lover but these are so cute! I will get some later on.

Here is the new collection with pics of the nps: http://www.britishbeautyblogger.com/2013/01/illamasqua-imperfection.html

 

Yes, this is the collection they had a teaser for. I think I have seen this picture before but did not remeber these any more.

It's a very pretty shade ( much more pretty than Gris Montaigne ), I haven't tried it yet ( I chose Sally Hansen Plum's the World for my pedi yesterday ) but I surely will !

Very classy !

When it comes to nail polish, I'm a big fan of China Glaze, now even more than ever - they've really been stepping it up and doing much more rich and unusual colors since last year in particular. Really giving the high end brands a run for their money. 

 

Anyhow I'm all excited because I just found out about their summer collection that features neon jellies!!! Those are going to be ridiculous.

 

http://www.everything2k.com/2012/10/china-glaze-neons-on-shore-collection.html

 

I'm going to wind up getting the sets, because there are literally only 2 colors in the whole thing I'm not crazy about. 

 

I can't wait for the holographic collection either!

 

I'm sure a bunch of you bought plenty from On Safari and New Bohemian. Which ones did you wear the most? For me, it was a tie between Man Hunt (the rich blue from Safari) and Deviantly Daring (the blue/emerald from Boho), followed by Elephant Walk, and I also had Adventure Red-y on a lot more than expected. I kept wanting to wear Desert Sun, but usually grabbed something else because I always wanted LOUDER!

 

Thank you for the link. I will get several from this collection for sure because I loved the Summer Neons 2012!

 

I got 4 polishes from Bohemian and Safari each. Unpredictable, Rare & Radiant, No Plain Jane, and Deviantly Daring (all worn just once). Then I'm not Lion & Kalahari Kiss (they were a lovely combo, although not the best on my skintone), and I Herd That & Desert Sun which  I have not worn yet.

Lol! The Nails Inc Feather polishes look like mini bits of shredded paper to me.

 

Beautiful mani honey on boost. I'm wearing Lippmann Good Girl Gone Bad for my current mani. Still no top coat. I haven't gone to the store yet. But I like the natural matte texture of the polish when it dries, so it works out. I'll probably wear Sweet Dreams next. I'm hoping Raspberry Beret will eventually be sold separately.

 

Medgal, I need those Butter Londons now. I'm also behind on getting the China Glaze polishes on my list. I need to get some of the colors liba posted.

The VVs are not quite my cup of tea, but the DL Raspberry Beret is lovely.  The color is reminiscent of CG's Ruby Pumps but the color plus glitter/shimmer looks like Essie's Leading Lady.

I got my Jasper from Nordies but it was back ordered. I ordered it Jan 15 and it arrived Jan 21, which wasn't bad at all.  I'm also still eagerly awaiting my AEs   th_happy1.gif

Here's my latest adventure in nail polish. I've gone cuckoo for Coco.

 

I noticed yesterday that Saks.com posted a boat load of old Chanel polishes. Naturally I had to take advantage. I ordered Imperial, Forbidden, Gondola, Jade Rose, the Mat Top Coat, and YSL Jade Imperiale from this year's Spring collection. Since Neimans cancelled my Imperial polish about two weeks ago, I wanted to make sure my Saks order shipped before saying anything. I'm very excited to report that it did. The thing is, all of these older items are inventory from stores. I checked my shipping notice and each polish is coming from a different store. That means I'm expecting to get 6 different boxes for each polish delivered on Tuesday. icon_eek.gif

 

Then I saw this morning that Intermezzo and Pulsion were added. Of course I had to get those, too. I also picked up the Kaska Beige quad and Imprevu blush. I'm pretty sure this order will ship in separate boxes as well. There are a few more older items I wanted to get, but I decided to pass. I'm glad I did because my Saks SA called today to let me know she got the powder from the Versailles collection in stock. I couldn't say no to that either.

 

I'm slowing down (not completely stopping) after this impromptu shopping spree. I'm not going to be able to haul much from the Archies collection besides a few lipsticks, but I can live with that.

I finished all of the Chanels yesterday. I'll have to add the new colors once they arrive. I'll start the Butter Londons tomorrow. I wasn't able to do anything today.

I thought I was having a hard time keeping track of my orders.  It got so bad that I started noting purchases on my calendar as I made them, and then a second notation when I got my delivery date from the shipper.  Otherwise a box would arrive and I had no idea what was in it.  When I opened the box it was like ---oh yeah, I remember ordering this icon_eek.gif.  You must be in NP heaven!!!

 

The Chanel Versailles illuminator looks really pretty.  It appears darker than the Poudre Signee.  Is it?  At any rate they're both really lovely.  I've used mine, but it took a lot of courage to drag my brush across that lovely design.  My haulage has gone beyond NP too.  I saw that the MAC 184 fan brush is online again so I ordered it even though I purchased the Laura Mercier fan brush some time ago---and then I got a backorder notice from MAC.  I've also ordered some MAC pan eyeshadows--Deep Dansom to satisfy my craving for all things burgundy and Era because I need another soft golden beige E/S like I need a hole in the head?  I should just put a bid red STOP SIGN on my computer screen!!

To me they look like little bits of hair (of the non-head variety). I love glitter polishes but I simply can't like bar glitter because I can't get over that imagery!

Not a cat owner (yet!) so regurgitated hair balls don't immediately come to my mind when confronted with images of bar glitter NPs. I was thinking more along the lines of hair from various parts of the human anatomy...

 

I quite like the idea of a very colourful cat though! Do they come in duochrome too? greengrin.gif

I received Tutu yesterday (along with the Rose Charmeuse Quint).Actually, I thought I' d be done with this collection.

But seeing the pretty mani with Gris Trianon makes me debating on getting this one too.

Can you do that with cats? I've seen some dogs with dyed fur but doing the same with a cat might prove dangerous. Most cats I know would claw your eyes out! 

 

edit - actually, there was a news story several years ago about woman who dyed her cat pink. The poor thing doesn't look too chuffed about its new fur-do.

Oooh, those look nice! The quint reminds me a bit of an old one called Clubbing. It also had a white, black, peach and dark pink (a bit of burgundy in there too). It had a medium grey instead of the light pink though.
