I am happy that this collection comes out around my b-day.

A dupe for this nail lacquer could possibly be Suzy Says Feng Shui from the Opi Hong Kong Collection. Temptalia has a swatch of it and describes it as a creamy darkened sky blue. Heres the link to a swatch OPI Hong Kong Collection: Review, Photos, Swatches — Part 2

Still not too sure about these three

Dirty Plum blush (not too sure if I should get it cause I'm a NC20)
Free to Be e/s
Give Me Liberty of London e/s

Anyone care to talk me out of it (or talk me into getting them)?

 

[MissCrystal]

hmmm doesn't bough grey look similar to pandimonum eyeshadow ?? i can't remember what collection it's from though ..

 

[SmokeSignal16]

Pandamonium from Naughty Nauticals? The dark gray color with pretty sparkles in it?

 

[iheartangE]

I SO wish I'd gotten Lavender Whip! I have Up the Amp and I love it but I don't know if I want Blooming Lovely for sure yet

I'm of course getting another Peachstock since I'm almost out of the sample I got. And I gotta say, the coral lipstick and the dark purple lipgloss are lookin' mighty fine in those swatches too...!

Erin,I heart you!Thanks for the gorgeous swatches as always!

IMO, it seems like it could be duped any day now. GAWH, peppermint patty from sugarsweet and the green jade polish from Chanel seemed like my last chance for the color...but months later I get my perfect dupe at claires for $4.99 and now Maybelline even has a dupe out. No worries.

it looks kinda the same to me ..

Also, A Different Groove l/g is looking a lot like P.D.A l/g from Victoria's Secret Very Sexy make line and Temptation l/g from Medusa's Makeup.

Edit: The Very Sexy line either did or still does have one similar and more wine colored. So, 2 from Very Sexy then.

I want to pick up 4n from the CCO , and I'm hoping both are different enought to warrant the 4n purchase..thank you!

i don't have 4N, sorry love.

i'm NC20 and i can't wait for dirty plum! especially for fall (even tho its still winter hehe)!

i'm gonna get free to be this time (mostly cuz its coming in gratis, but also because i don't wanna spend money on it in pan form. but its still a pretty colour.

i say pass on GMLOL shadow.

uh, no way jose!

panamonium is definately a charchoal grey with silver sparkle. bough grey isn't really even grey. its a dirty green on the grey side.

no where even close whatsoever in a million years are you way off on that one crazy ace!

Also could be this with a coat of high shine topcoat.

 

[lenchen]

erine1881,
thank you for responding, I think I'll purchase both.

 

[Gonzajuju]

Thanks for the swatches, Erine1881!
I'm going to keep my list small for this collection since I had to take out a second mortgage for the Spring Color Forecast.
Bough Grey e/s
birds & berries e/s
blue india np (Erine, is this as streaky as the Spring Color Forecast nailpolishes?)

 

[panther27]

I wonder how Ever Hip would be on NW15?

Thank you Erin for the swatches!!

I have Strike A Pose, but will get Birds & Berries as well. I love the special packaging and the color.

And n/p Blue India is awesome!

Thank you, Erine. You're the bestest and thank you for comparison swatches.

I am so glad this collection is coming out so I can stop obsessing over the lippies in SCF.

So now my definites are
Blooming Lovely-I have been killing Up the Amp lately for the winter. So this will be my baby Up the Amp.
Petals and Peacock

Lou and I said the hot pinks were starting to look alike but this one is grown up sexy.
Frankly Fresh- a nude with kick.
Dames Desire- purple and lavendar run in my veins, so I have to get it.

Bough Grey now reminds me of mixing Flourishing and Saturnal. I did it on my hand and I think I come pretty close. So I will be skipping that one but I do think it is unique.
