Me too! I feel like since it is a Holiday today that I should purchase something for myself. Bad Katie! I don't need anything!

But I do really want mercenary, eversun, a few of the OPI matte polishes, and a few of the Essie Neon polishes. I am going to try and just keep myslef at home but the mall is calling my name!

Off topic: What do you use as a top coat on the matte polishes to keep them matte. I feel like if I put a regular top coat on it would make it shiny. Or do you just not use a top coat?

 

[TISH1124]

^^ Wet N Wild has a Matte Clear that i use...I know...it's cheap...but I am just getting into nail polish

Edit I was wrong...I looked it's by Orly

Orly matte Top Coat

 

[TISH1124]

Katie...what about Steal My Heart...do I need that l/g?? Do I???

 

[BeautyPsycho]

Orly top coat can actually make any np look kind of matte, or close to it, kind of velvety. But matte np is actually ment to be worn w/o a top coat

I would go with Cash Flow p/p since it would make Bright Future stand out more. Also, for those who own Corn shadestick, try it with Bright Future.

Anyone found a dupe for Mercenary n/l?

More on topic with the off topic, KO makes a matte top coat that's pricey, but genuinely matte (not sort of, like I've seen with Orly).

KO Knock Out - Products

That's the only reason I would ever spend more than 5 bucks on polish, since it can be used with every other polish.

Yay! I am so glad you love it! It really is different.

Driving me nuts! Oh, speaking of matte polishes, did you all see the article that Michelle from ALU did? I can't wait to try this!!

Playing with Texture - Matte and Glossy Nail Art |All Lacquered Up - A Nail Polish Fanatic's Resource

Ok, back to Style Warriors

 

[BeautyPsycho]

Audrey, try transdesign, they have it for $4.59
(it's under "treatments" or "top coats/base coats")

Playing with dif. textures looks awesome, it's not in your face like some nail art can be, but it's still very fun and sexy

 

[abbyquack]

I know this collection has now been out for a while, but I've been experimenting for a couple days and I must just say that Bright Future is a must! It is versatile- can appear nice and gold when paired w/ Tempting, or bright and funky when paired w/ Vibrant Grape- so fun! I also like Night Manoeuvres, although it kinda reminds me of Mineral from Ungaro. It's a great crease color. Loving this collection!

Now, how are those Lustre Drops treating ya'll? I'm curious if they're worth while or not?

Yay for OAM! And Tish, if Katie meant to say you needed it, might it be only fair to say she needs Mercenary?

For what it's worth, I think she needs it.

 

[elegant-one]

You guys will love OAM!

Tish, I bought 2 Steal My Heart - its a sexy but day wearable color. I love how it makes my lips look.

Also still really loving the Just A Pinch!!! Love, Love, Love it! I wear them on cheeks & lips almost everyday.

And, Secret Crush - still Loves it! If I put a thin coat on, then use a lipstick over it - looks like I lined my lips. Its a great wearable light red too.

That does it. If my store still has it when I go back, I am getting it!

No you do not need that lipglass since I didn't get it either. And it is from Rose Romance and we are not looking back on that collection!

I am glad that you are getting my subliminal messages Tish! I did send you a message that you needed OAM!

I do need Mercenary! Plus I think I need BNB and Eversun!

Thanks for everyones reponses on the matte top coat. I never even knew something like that existed. I can't wait to rock matte nails.

I swear, if I could only take one MAC item, Just A Pinch would be it! Honestly. Its so fast & easy to just throw on & its such a healthy natural look.
It looks fab with a dark grey smokey eye if you have more time. I paired it up with Night Manouvres the other day - Love!

And for me personally, I think it actually makes my skin softer & smoother. Cause, I was so afraid of it breaking me out - nope not once

Hey Coach!

BNB - it was my lips but worse

at least on me. Loved it on the back of my hand, not on my lips. I'm not sure why.
