Audrey you're smart. I've tried to limit myself to only ten new NPs/mth. It's mid-month and I've already purchased >20

Hopeless situation!
My latest hauls will take me up to about 50. I'm sure I'll continue to buy bottles here and there, but I've got them all sorted by colour in an acrylic tray/box with a handle. I'm anal about keeping my collections (makeup, polish, whatever) in the size space I have for it. If I want more than what will fit in there, I'll start pruning out colours I'm meh about. I'm sure this is heresy to the polish addicted, but I'm having trouble seeing how I could need more than what I have. Replace some, sure. But 50 shades is a different pedicure each week for a YEAR. Hard to even convince myself that I need more variety than that.

To be fair, almost 10 of the shades are sheers/nudes that I wear on my hands (conservative professional environment) and another 10 are base/top coats (including glitters to layer). So I guess I can use each colour in a pedi about TWICE a year. I haven't been buying nearly as much makeup as I did last year, and now I feel like I've built up a good polish collection too. (But I'm definitely staying farrrrr away from that thread because I know what will happen).

It is always so much fun to play with new stuff

I have several dazzle lippies from Digi Pops Collection and I love them!

Thanks MACina & Miss0Annette....I've never tried dazzle lip products so I'm a little skeptical....but up for trying something new.

[COLOR=0000FF]It depends on your local stores---many seem to have different rules---or at least they enforce them differently.  I frequent a local MAC store, cultivated relationships with them and they take good care of me.[/COLOR]
The stores and counters near me seem to have different rules that also change depending on the collection (probably related to limited stock or something).

:lol: :nods: [COLOR=0000FF]If the enablers don't get you the NP fumes will!!   Best thread ever, tons of fun and the best ladies ever!!!  Expect to buy lots of NP---my husband thinks I have a problem requiring the attention of the Betty Ford Clinic![/COLOR] :shock:
I thought I had quite a lot already - I had about 18. LOL

I've bought more polishes in the last year than I have in my entire life - and that was WITHOUT the help of that thread, so I know better than to even dip my pinky toe in that pool.

I just posted a look I did with the Bare My Soul quad and Ripe For Love on my blog, the link is in my signature! I also posted my haul earlier, in case someone is curious.

It's rare for a quad to sell out so fast, but I'm not surprised - BMS is beautiful!

Altered beige! Ummm maybe I don't like altered beige anymore ;( might go well with a gloss on top. It's frosty than I expected it to be
Try AB with Underdressed lipglass :O I'm dying to see that combo lol. My orders are out for delivery today and I'm antsy!

I was exchanging PMs just last night, saying that the BMS quad will probably be the first MAC quad to sell out in a while given the hype and excitement around it. It's still a surprise though.
