Thanks, dear!! Anyway, I'm not risking my precious collection.

Some of my bottles are more than 15 yrs old!!

Corinne that's awesome news!!

I can't wait for swatches!! Need to make decisions asap!!

 

[PlatinumV]

Sure, I am waiting for swatches too! I am so anxious about that! ^^

 

[LMD84]

swatches would be good! although i am only getting the black and turquoise pigments. nothing else screams out to me really.

That's about all I get and I work only part-time now but still have to pay almost half the bills here....even when I was unemployed I was paying half the rent/half the bills

Maybe I should seriously cut off my wishlists and ask for a CP for old jar piggies while they last!!

I will only be getting the pigments! I don't wear nail polish that often, so I allow myself five new ones a year- they will be in VV and F/W NT.

But I am SUPER excited about all three of these pigments!

 

[PlatinumV]

I love polishes but usually there are times I wear them continuously and times when I don't use them. Actually I am changing them so often! (now wearing Vendetta by Chanel). However, I would like to see swatches also before deciding about polishes!

Honestly, would he even notice?

I know the day my boyfriend says "I noticed you are wearing a nail polish I haven't seen before. Is it new?" we'll all be ice-skating in hell looking up at the pigs flying by.

Am I the only one that doesn't care for NYX? I don't know why, but I really don't like their stuff.....

 

[*JJ*]

no, i wasn't too impressed with their products either. their jumbo eye pencils creased on me like crazy, no matter which primer i used underneath! which is too bad, because they have so many great colors i'd love to use as bases.


i'm starting to think we won't have any A+O swatches until this collection is actually released...
