Nail Polish

[michyed]

Lapis of Luxury looks amazing! I actually got a similar shade from Sephora a few weeks ago, but the quality and application is terrible. I'll be looking forward to the release of these shades

I love them all but Playa and Lapis are the tops!

Lapis of luxury and turquoise & calcos look amazing - I cant wait

Does anyone know if the Chanel will be released in Australia?

how does chanel PARTICULIERE look on? is good for fair skin with pink undertones? looks like it might be neutral enough.

luckyme - I'm very pale and I found that it made my pink tones look even pinker. American Apparel's Mouse is a similar shade but works much better (for me, at least). I'd definitely try it before you buy.

I didn't have a chance to try Mouse yet although I'd love to, but Particuliere looks awful against my pale skin, too. I think it looks better on medium to dark skin than on super pale people.

i am super super pale as well but with more yellowish undertones, and particulaire looks okay on me now- i do have to agree it looks much better when i am slightly tanned.

I am going to have to get all four of those Essies. I am obsessed with nail polish recently. I got these Revlons yesterday at Duane Reade. They smell like candy when they dry! The purple is a sheer lilac called Gum Drop and the pink is a beautiful magenta called Bubble Gum.

^^I wanted those scented nail polishes from Revlon so bad, but of course we didin't get them.

Here are swatches of OPI Shrek collection:

^ I think that whole Shrek collection looks appealing when seeing it as a whole, but seeing the colors separately none of them do much for me,. Green is a true Shrek color, except I doubt many would like to wear it on nails - maybe I am wrong...
from entire collection I would probably buy only light blue, because it is such a clear shade, i can't remember any similar colors recently.
purples are decent, but nothing new, yellow also.

on another note, I would really like to be able to buy some scented polish, I think I am becoming allergic to the smell.

^OMFG! I'VE BEEN DREAMING OF THE DAY THAT OPI CAME OUT WITH A PROPER, CREME BABY BLUE... AND IT HAS COME!

When will this collection come out? I'm so excited!

I just bought it from Amazon. A little expensive but if it's a color you really like you might try there but it might depend on where you live. Hope this helps.
