Does anyone have both Emily de Molly Cool, Calm, & Collected and Land of Confusion? They seem very close. I have Land of Confusion. I'm trying to narrow down my must have now list.

Naughty, I've compared Darling Diva Flash with Enchanted I Am The Walrus and Congratulations. Flash is a dupe of Congratulations. I Am The Walrus has a distinct orange-red color that doesn't go away.

I have them both and from memory they aren't that close. I'll check tomorrow, today's been manic and I'm going to the theater in a few minutes. No packages for me today, I think I'm expecting 5 at the moment. Edit: I've found this picture I've posted a while ago, CC&C is the second one from the left and LoC is the third one.

Wow! My order from Femme Fatale Cosmetics will be delivered today! I placed the order on Sunday. That means it only took 4 days to ship coming from Australia. Femme Fatale uses DHL for international shipping and it's more expensive, but I'm very satisfied with the speed.
Wow! That was super fast!!
Lol. The plain Enchanteds are the ones that aren't duo/multichrome. I got my Darling Divas last night too, and my Hares. The outside of my Darling Diva package was covered in something sticky. Like maybe soda had spilled on it and dried. Pretty gross. But the polishes inside were fine. I got Flash, We are the Champions, and We Will Rock You. I'll compare them. 7 packages? That's like getting a bunch of presents. I love it when that happens. OK, that makes sense about the Enchanted shipping delay. I just checked my tracking again and it now shows that it has arrived at my local post office. That's the only update for it. It doesn't show any other updates before that. I guess that means I'll receive it today.
My brother also got his 3 new computer screens so he quickly forgot about all my packages lol. I also got my EPs today!! Whoohoo!! Yesterday is beautiful and Autumn is very pretty but I wish it was more rustic looking. I did feel like I got a bunch of presents lol it was nice! Haha So which plain enchanteds have u used? I've only used water for unicorns and a little fishy. Plus both ice castle and castle on a cloud over other colors. Waiting for my darn nails to grow before I use the others lol. My darling diva package was fine, I'm glad hrs weren't damaged a sticky package woulda freaked me out!

I missed my Femme Fatale package. I had to leave out and missed the delivery. I hope they redeliver tomorrow.

What color would you say Autumn is? I swatched it on my nail and can't tell. Is it taupe, khaki?

In holos, I've worn May 2013, I'm Kind of a Big Deal, Water for Unicorns and
Afternoon Delight​
. For glitters, I've worn *69 and
Flamingo Freckles. I think I have pics of everything sitting on my phone except for Afternoon Delight. I was cleaning and it chipped before I could take a pic.​

I used Congratulations for today's mani. I wanted to keep wearing it after doing those comparison swatches for you.​

Dried polish to get around customs. What do you guys think?

In theory it seems OK, but in practise it seems like a issue if you don't know how the base will react with the pigments? How can she check for bleeding/taco-ing glitters and so on. I kind of rely on the maker to have that all sussed on my behalf or I'll do my own mixing! (back to lurking and not buying ... repeat not buying... repeating I do not need any nail polish)

I compared Darling Diva We Are the Champions to Enchanted Hey Jude and The Youth. They're all different. No dupes there. Then I tried We Are the Champions with Mean Mr. Mustard and Electric Feel. Those 3 colors are very close. Not exact dupes, but close enough to where you don't need them all. Mean Mr. Mustard has a very strong yellow-green color that makes it more vibrant than the other two. The Youth has a tinge of blue to it. Regular people wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Darling Diva We Will Rock You dupes Enchanted Kids. They both have that aqua/purple shift. Magical Mystery Tour has the same aqua/purple shift, but it's darker and more opaque. Across The Universe is more blue/purple. Octopus's Garden and Time to Pretend are different shades of purple. Future Reflections is more blue.

I did all swatches on my nails with 2 coats. In general, the 3 Darling Diva Queen colors I have seem to dupe corresponding colors from the Enchanted Time to Pretend collection. I'm guessing the other 3 Darling Diva Queen colors will do the same. Now I kinda feel like I don't need to get the rest of the collection.

DD is Different Dimension or Darling Diva? Lol! That's why I have to write out the names so I don't confuse myself. I don't have any Different Dimension polishes if that's the case.

Don't make me do the work, or I'll just make my own. Buying one polish wouldn't hurt.
