Thanks Mac-Guy! Performance Art looks like a really pretty taupe

It's a very light taupe. My camera can't really catch the beauty of it!

Perfect -- thanks Naynadine and it is a better quality polish at half the price.
The german price for OPI is 16 (!) Euro, a MAC polish is 14. So unless I get OPI from the US, it's not really a dupe for me. I have never tried OPI, but maybe I should. It's definitely a pretty shade!

OPI in Canada is about $10, MAC $19

I forgot about the price difference! The next time I'm in Germany, I should bring you a case full of polishes, haha. The price for OPI here is about $8-10. However, I buy all of my polishes at a nail salon supply store, so depending on the brand (OPI, Orly, Essie, China Glaze, etc.), I pay anywhere from $2-5 per bottle, which is a STEAL!

EDIT - I pay $2-5 for each bottle not bottles per bottle!!

I wouldn't mind that, LOL!
The most expensive are Deborah Lippmann polishes, they're 24 Euro, that should be $30 USD or even more.

I sometimes buy China Glaze, Color Club etc on ebay from the US, I can get those for a reasonable price there.

Yeah, Deborah Lipmann polishes can be pricey. I haven't been able to find them cheaper anywhere.

That promo picture is gorgeous. My revised preliminary list is: Fashion Nomad Mattene  Camden Chic Mattene  Restless - l/g Hidden Treasure - blush(if this is the blush the model on the left is wearing than I must have it)

I saw pics of the new Ciate Bottled Sunshine collection, made me think of Styleseeker n/p. There might be a dupe among these. Seems like we'll see a lot of these shades for fall.

I just checked my Sephora+ Pantone Universe nailpolishes (set of four from this past Spring Collection) for a dupe. Just in case anyone else was wondering, the Style Seeker np is more pumpkiny, but a blend of a few from this set might be close. Darn it! I was hoping my Sephora collection would be the last orange I would need!

I knew there was a polish I have that looks similar to the Styleseeker polish! China Glaze Free Love:
(From http://nails.krex.se/)

It's part of a collection that was released a couple years ago but it's still available on several wholesale polish websites and probably eBay as well!

Thanks, I'll check around for it and maybe a possible OPI dupe (they may have one in an upcoming or current collection) as well. I'll try to head out to the salon supply store this weekend!

That's a pretty one, too. ''Deutsche you want me baby?''

The shade names are hilariously bad. I probably should get it just because it's a Germany collection, LOL.
The MAC one is described as a duochrome, so maybe it's still different. I hope we'll see swatches soon, to see how 'duochrome-y' it really is.

I used to want a job at OPI, naming all their polishes. Some of the names they come up with are ridiculously funny!

Now that Specktra is loading fine for me and the MAC site hasn't crashed on me (yet), I've finally come up with a pre-lim list!

Fun Finds
Delectable (thanks to Babylard's FOTD)
MAYBE Fashion Nomad OR Camden Chic (depending on swatches).
- My cousin picked up Eden Rouge for me at the CCO!

Restless

As for shadows, I'll start off with Whims and Fancies b/c I really want PA. Will have to swatch the others and see if they fill a hole in my collection.

BLUSHES....I DO NOT NEED ANYMORE. But, we all know I'll end up with some. Thinking of picking up Worldly Wealth..The other two are a maybe, although depending on the swatches, Hidden Treasure may come up home with me....In that case, it'd be mean to leave the cute coral behind!

Local Wares fluidline for sure...and I may pick up a BU of Dark Diversion.

I snapped some pics of Performance Art. Don't have any other mauvey type of shades to compare, so I swatched it next to Satin Taupe.
