Why didn't you want it? I Love Teal pigment! I have a sample and a vial, but keep wanting the full size one. I don't wear it that often but i just LOVE the color. I think it's the perfect teal color![/quote]
it was actually my first pigment from mac. my hubby bought it for my 21st birthday because it matched a corset i was wearing on the night out
very sweet of him.

I know what you meant. I've been collecting nail polish for over 17 years. I still have my first bottle in perfect shape. But ruined some in my first years. Believe me, polish thinner, can shorten the life of your nailpolishes. It's meant to be used when nailpolishes are close to death so get a couple uses more of them. You're adding an extra chemical to your nail polish, disrupting the equilibrium of the mix. It's plain physics. Polishes should be thinned once or twice. So think about it carefully, especially if you're doing it to high end brand polishes.

jazm1n3s.. and LMD84...No I dont want teal because I have similar colors already and I guess I just spent to much is the main thing
. I spent the most I ever spent and was almost at their limit but was also Cp'ing for others as well though. I also have Frozen White and Reflects Copper that I dont want that I bought. I'm keeping Rose, Copperbeam and maybe Olive Green. I also bought Humid and Black tied and Electric Eel but not sure I will keep EE. Still thinking. I bought Brunette MSF but it isnt working for me
but that may be pending along with Goldyrocks d/g. I got a l/s too, Sparks. I had Cocomotion that I thought I put back but it was in my bag and Tea Time which I had for sure on the counter as I was still looking but when I got home I saw it wasnt there
. I was so bummed because I really wanted that one.

They had lots of it at the CCO but I think I'm swapping the Frozen white.
Here's all they had at that CCO for pigments in the old jars:
Glitters: Blue, Violet, Fuschia, gold, Silver, 3D Gold, Gold, Reflects Antique Gold, Reflects Copper, Reflects Blackened Red, Reflects Rust, Chartreuse
Then they had Landscape Green, Black Black, Basic Red, Primary Yellow, Golden Olive, Rose, Pink Bronze, Copperbeam, Fairy Lite(got the last one for a CP), Pink Vivid (another CP/last one), Bright Fuschia, Fuschia, Violet, Antique Green, Cocomotion, Tan, Tea Time, Milk, Teal, Cornflower, Pink Bronze, Frozen White, White Gold, Mutiny, Heritage Rouge, Chocolate Brown, Spiritulize, Mega Rich, Circa plum, Steel Blue, Golden Lemon, Museum Bronze, Blondes Gold, Pink Opal, Melon and more I think
Unfortunately this CCO was 2.5 hours from me and we were in the area for a car shoot we were doing. I wish it was closer

I wanted to take a photo of all the pigments lined up but they wouldnt let me
. I told them it was a dream display
. They also told me that if someone was to tell them they were buying any items for someone and they would pay them, that the store couldnt sell them anything at all. I had mentioned I was Cping then my b/f said "uh no these are going to sit on her vanity" when he heard them say it. I thought it was strange for them to say that. It's not like I'm charging someone out the ying yang....its the actual cost. Also a lot of people may not have access to a CCO or maybe their CCO doesnt have the same selection. I just thought it was odd.

@Hypathya: well, actually I used it on several polishes. From my favourite colour (bought when I was 15 
) to Chanel polishes, that are literally not-usable without adding it. And all my polishes still look perfect (even better than before!).
I've also asked to a friend of mine, who is Chemist specialized in cosmetic (I know, I am a lucky girl
), and she said nowadays, this kind of product has improved a lot, so know they are simply adding again the diluent the polish has in the past, that has evaporated!
About teal pigment... I haven't been able to bought it yet. Each time I go to a store (2 hours by train from here) it has been sold out -_-'
I wish we have CCO also in Italy :_(
EDIT
Know that is not the right section, but I've posted on the forum swatch and after many days, still not answer... I've found on line the possibility to buy Et tu bouquet?, Of Summer, Lotusland and Pink Pagan. I am searching for the perfect pink highliter. Does someone here have them? I would like to see a swatch over fair skintone. In case, please, let me know! The on line site would not keep those e/s for me for many other days!

I know!!
. I wished that CCO was closer to me. Ugghh but so far away. I so badly wished I could've taken at least one pic with my phone! I'd never seen so many pigments. I'm wondering why they got so many? I hope the one closer to me gets that much in! Maybe I'll call them today
I'm going to PA tomorrow but there's no CCO close to where I'm going. However there is one an hour away when I got to where my mom lives in PA, the Franklin Mills one in Philly but I dont know if I want to do all that driving alone. It would make a 4 hour drive back rather then 2.5 if I go up there.
Oh btw thought I'd show you what I bought. Half of it is CP's tho

I am going to pass on this collection, and just do the CPs that I have arranged. I am just not excited about it anymore.

I have wanted Later since April, though. There is no way I am passing on that one!
