Zoya Spring swatches:

http://www.vampyvarnish.com/2012/12/zoya-lovely-spring-2013-swatches-review#more-35541

Piaf and Julie are probable, GieGie is maybe. Nice enough collection but nothing to write home about.
Please don't kill me, all you pastel lovers out there, but I feel like that about a lot of the spring collections. But maybe I've reached some kind of saturation point? A polish has to be fairly unusual and unique for me to get it, and sadly, all those light, springy colours don't fit the bill.

Fortunatly the rest of the collection does not really appeal to me.

Another sort of unplanned polish haul. I was waiting for Nordstrom to have another buy 2/get 1 sale. I just wasn't expecting it to happen again so soon. I didn't get any of the new spring shades because I'm trying to knock older colors off my list. I know the new colors will be around later.

Butter London

  • Stag Do
  • Billy No Mates
  • Lady Muck

Lippmann Polishes

  • Candy Shop
  • Let's Go Crazy
  • Ruby Red Slippers
  • Stairway to Heaven

I got the Lippmann polishes from HSN.com using the code for $10 off. It works when you check out as a guest. Not sure if those orders will be canceled since I used the code more than once. I placed 4 different orders for each polish, but I had to try at $10 off. The total is less than Nordstrom's buy 2/get 1 deal.

You're not alone. I'm not overly fond of pastels but I like the finish on some of the spring Zoyas. I need to see more swatches to decide though.

Thanks! I really hope the orders do go through. I was so proud of myself for leaving Ulta empty handed last night, but the deal was too amazing for me to resist. Now I'm proud of myself for getting a great deal. I wanted Lady Sings the Blues, but they didn't have it. I would've gotten Glitter in the Air if I didn't already have two bottles of the Revlon dupe for it. That was before I knew about Deborah Lippmann. I think I'm going to end up with it in my stash eventually just to have the original version. I really love the color. It's the polish that made me change my mind about glitters.

I agree, all of the pastel colors kind of look the same. I do like the colors and will probably get the BL pastels and more than likely Essie's. I'm not looking to get a lot of pastels from a bunch of different brands. (Lol, I say this now.)

I feel kinda bad that I don't have Stairway to Heaven. Not because I'm crazy about the polish but because not buying a polish named after a Led Zep song (albeit not one of my favourites) feels like heresy. Someone please talk some sense into me before I do something stupid?

I'm eyeing Cleopatra in New York (yes, still lol), Ray of Light, and Lady Sings the Blues. But then i obligated myself to wait with ordering, i haven't even received my 3 Picture Polish polishes yet

Your'e welcome. very pretty spring 2013 collections indeed !
I love Deborah Lippmann, Ray of Light is pretty but mostly in the... natural light, I have Across the Universe and Mermaid's Dream, both gorgeous but I think Lady Sings the Blues is really great too. I just have 3 DL nail polishes, they're pricey here and I guess in Belgium too. Maybe Beauty Bay has already sales ?

I'm not much of a nail art fan either. I like to do accent nails, ombres and skittles but that's as far as it goes. Oh, and there's the crackle polish once in a blue moon (again used mostly on the accent nail). I bought lots of dotting tools, decals/stickers/rhinestones and stamping kits when I first got into the whole nail craze but I lost interest very quickly. Thing is, there are such beautiful polishes out there they don't really need any nail art

That's so true. A beautiful color can stand on its own, without the adornments.

I got Lady Sings the Blues as part of the All That Jazz set, along with Razzle Dazzle (awesome!) and Some Enchanted Evening (meh). It really is a nice polish

BeautyBay does have a small (a coupe of euros) sale on DLs at the mo. Hence my Glitter in the Air order a few hours ago

Well, I wanted Bare Escentuals The Shining Moment Luminizer and BB accepts Paypal only for orders EUR40+. I had to add something to my cart and that something happened to be GitA

They're indeed also expensive here in Belgium, around 20 euro. I guess that's the reason why i only own 1 Deborah Lippmann polish, I really love it tho (Mermaid's Dream
love.gif
). It's just that too many wonderful brands like OPI, Essie, China Glaze, and Butter London release so many beautiful polishes, and because they're cheaper i tend to buy them quicker i guess. But i've got these DL shades stuck in my head for quite some time now, which tells me i must get them i think

I am looking for the perfect coral color. Does anyone have any suggestions? My favorite is OPI Dress to Empress which was LE several years ago.

lets see from opi i like i eat mainly lobster, are we there yet?, a good mandarin is hard to find. you can still find those at drugstore.com those are the ones i have. i dont usually wear orange coral shades so sorry i cant help you more. i gravitate towards blues, greens mints or true reds.

Thanks, it depends on my mood and season as to what I gravitate towards and I love green, purples and brick reds/burgundies as well as true reds.

I'm not crazy about them either. I don't like really light (or dark) colours. However, like others, I plant to get one or two from the BL spring collection.
