Wearing Don't Tell Mama right now! I'm loving her so much. My first proper DL mani and I can tell there's going to be sooooo many more in my future.

I am feeling blah, I bought Mermaids Dream and Sweet Dreams but they underwhelmed me. MD looks awful on me and SD is just kind of meh compared to the bottle shots, I hope the mystery bottle turns up soon because I need a pick me up. These are the first DL polishes that didn't really make me fall in love with them :sad:

Aww that's too bad. I didn't really like the swatches of MD when I saw it on here but when I noticed that MD was getting harder to come by in the stores near me I panicked and got a bottle off of zappos. I just tried it yesterday and I loved it! I guess these things are hard to tell until you actually try them on. I also feel meh about the SD swatches but who knows, maybe I'll like it when I try it. It's hard to tell what you're going to like until you try it on. But I'm sure you'll find someone who'd like to take MD and SD off your hands!
 
I scored a decant of DL - Rehab a few months back, but I've yet to even swatch it until today. It is an absolutely GORGEOUS jelly. I would sell my soul for a full sized bottle. A girl can dream, eh? :laugh:


This is 3 coats, no flash and flash.

It took me a little to warm up to Sweet Dreams. Someone here gave me the idea: layer SD over a hot pink. I think it really pops/looks better than just layering and layering SD on it's own.

That's a bummer. Why does MD look awful on you? I'm still hoping to buy both MD and SD but people not liking them is making me question that.
