I don't know if I can quite justify paying $40 for one. I could gift the others, but most of my friends like crazy colors too.
Hmm, I have Atlantis and tons of flakies, I may work on this and see? I love Cult nails though, I want to support them!

I love Cult Nails too, but I also like having money in my wallet, haha.

I will not hoard. I will not hoard.

Excellent marketing, indeed.

I quite like the deeper nudes. Especially, the darkest one... But, I could not wear the others. I'm quite fair/cool complected so the lighter/warmer ones would look ghastly on me. Toxic Seaweed is gorgeous, though.

I don't know if I can justify buying a collection of 5 knowing that I will only wear 3 of them. I would just pass the others along to friends but the only woman I know who loves nudes only wears pink toned ones.

Here's hoping AreYouSerious's layering experiment is successful!

Right, suuure...your polishes are your hoard, like a dragon, hmm trying not to picture TGP sitting on a huge pile of polishes and giving anyone that comes near the evil eye, little curl of smoke escaping her nostrils....what can i say i have a vivid imagination.

This new collection is more work-friendly for some of us and will probably sell quite well. I will be preordering because I love the colors AND want to support Maria. I much prefer giving my $$ to the independents such as Maria, Lynnderella and a england than the corporate manufacturers. Even if the colors aren't quite me, I know I will be able to gift them at some point. Plus supporting women-owned business is a priority for me.

I totally missed out on Clairvoyant, so not wanting to miss out with these I pre-ordered as well. I do like them all, but I won't deny that Toxic Seaweed is what drove me to do it now. I don't want to regret like I do with the Super Powers collections. I have no idea what I was doing at that time when that collection came out, but I sure as heck didn't buy it and am kicking myself for it. I love all the shades too, which is the killer. But just like Toxic Seaweed, Clairvoyant was the one I was after.

Never again.

Seems a bit bad that so many are buy this new set because of one polish, i know you'll find uses for the nudes but still...shame a person can't swap out polishes when buying a set and instead ask for a different color in it's place. I think that this goes to show that Cult should carry on doing what it usually does and do the cutting edge unusual colors we usually expect from them. Oh and keep our fingers crossed that they'll manage to get more flakies.

^ Yes, they are absolutely work appropriate shades for me!

And, as for the second statement... I agree!
