i agree it's gorgeous, but it's really sheer. it takes 3 coats to show up opaque and i find it wears off MUCH faster than other nail polishes too

Its funny, NO polish ever lasts on me so I can never tell what is good or not, lol. I've been ok with 2 coats(2 thick coats, lol) The only polish that ever lasted forever on my was MAC's Plasma Blu but it stained my nails soooooo bad. Even after I painted my nails 2 times after the blu, when I would take off my polish you could still see the blue on my nails...gross

I know what you mean and was considering amputation to get Plasma Blu off. Now I use a transparent base and this makes it a lot easier.

Wow, this collection has lippies that are right up my alley.
My little wishlist:
Lightly Ripe l/s depending on how different it is from my other "mid-tone pink" l/s
L/Gs:
Cherry Blossom depending on the light pinkness of it
Rich & Ripe
Cult of Cherry
Jampacked depending on its grape-iness

I love cherry-toned colors so I can't wait to try these colors!

I like the new promo pics but the coloring is a little off-for instance,the Illegal Purple nl is darker in real life,like dark eggplant.

So I've now decided - screw MAC and their pre-made quads. I'm going to get the quads with the colors I want and pop out the pans I don't want!

 

[Winthrop44]

^^ That's the spirit! My feeling exactly with respect to Deep Truth in the Shadowy Lady quad.

I'm not buying anything from this collection.

I am limiting myself, after seeing those images, to Cult of Cherry, Cherry Blossom, and Rich & Ripe. If I had unlimited funds, I would pick up one of the Mattenes to really stretch my creativity. Also Lightly Ripe looks appealing but that will be saved for when the collection actually comes out.

Yea, and the tempting quad promo looks so different than the swatches, so now i'm a bit confused! the green looks like a moss green, but in the swatches, it is clearly lime green. if it is a dupe to a color named sour lemon, then it is not moss green! which sucks, because the moss green w/ next to nothing would be lovely. sigh...

 

[lipglass_junkie]

I still have no idea what I want from this collection

I may get the tempting quad, but not sure yet, probably a few lippies, I have no idea though! At least I'm working now, so I will have money for whatever I want

At first I wanted 2 quads & 2 l/g but now I'm just meh about it all. I want Smudged Violet & Next to Nothing, but I refuse to get 2 quads for 2 colors. Purrtykitty had a good idea of popping them out but eh not for 2 colors. This will be the 1st collection in over a year that I don't get anything from! Sad

Oh SuSana, if you are anything like me, you will be buying from this collection. These ladies here know me way too well. I'm quite full of crap.

But, seriously, I'm skipping this collection.

 

[coachkitten]

The only things in the collection that seem must have to me are sharp e/s, cult of cherry lipglass, and so scarlet lipstick (just because I love Amplified Cremes). I think that I am going to be more limiting on this collection just because I know that the future MAC collections in October are totally up my alley!

Haha I'm serious! I'm even trying to like at least one thing enough to buy and it's not happening, what's going on?? If there is a free shipping code I will buy CoC l/g, if not, I can't even be bothered with going to the mall to look at it.

...ok I admit I might change my mind when I see more swatches, shhh, don't hold it against me...

 

[MAC_Fafinette14]

I'm waiting until the collection is out to swatch it myself. It'll help me figure out which products I can skip and which ones to get for sure. I'm not planning to skip the whole collection, but who knows?

 

[DefineSinister]

I'm kinda feeling the shadowy lady quad... I got a invite a month or few week ago for aug 12th... im excited!
