My hardest thing is picking a nail color for my toes. Fingers are always nude shellac. Who even see's my toes in the winter?!? Actually my whole yoga class. Anyway bought Wicked Game today. Thoughts? Getting them done tomorrow so I can still change. Wanted something different, not too dark, something that would make me smile on these cold days. Tired of dark although almost did Chanel Black Pearl, thought this was more fun. TIA
 
The February InStyle has an item on spring shades and a new Lippmann shade is featured, Groove Is In The Heart. It appears to be a slightly darker pink. Following the lead of most other polish brands, there is also a price increase to $17 (I assume her glitters will go up too). That brings a total of 8 new shades for spring so far, the 4 from the Girls set, three glitters previewed earlier and now the new pink.
 
I love lippmann's glitter polishes they are unlike any other the effect is very unique....my favourite is Across the Universe. However the other shades without glitter are not as worth it in my opinion. Candy Shop is on my wish list :D

That said, my Across the Universe is getting quite thick so it's hard to get a smooth application. Any ideas on what I should use to fix it?
 
Flowerpetals, while I haven't had to use any yet, I have read from many sources that a little thinner does the trick.

A swatch of the upcoming Spring 2013 color, I'm Not Edible, is featured at Sobbing On Fifth. From what I gather in the author's post I don't believe she used topcoat for her swatches. I'm curious to see the other two shades now.

AtU is my favourite too. I would just add some nail polish thinners, Cant see it would damage the glitter.
 
I dont have any...Im looking to buy some is there a good one you recommend?

Doesn't most everyone use the Sache Vite Restore? If you use SV you have to get its thinner as it gets thick very quickly. It seems good to me though ive only tried one other and the SV one is better.

Cant say i'm madly impressed by the spring colors the ones with the small black glitter reminds me of the seeds of a passion fruit, and i'm not going to pay that kind of money for a pretty standard looking creme. I don't get it DL is known for amazing glitters or unusual colors done well these dont seem to fit the bill.
