Very impressive DL collection. I have about 8 or so from DL and Stormy Weather on its way next week. I love DL polish, more so now that she has a 3 free forumla. Wasn't always like that.
 
I got Billionaire...it was a little darker than I was expecting (pretty much black unless you're in direct sunlight). I was hoping for the dustier green that we saw in the promo pictures but I still like that she finally made a green polish!
 
I'm still struggling with DL stuff. Was not impressed with WUiV or some of the more heavy glitter ones. I did not find the top coat to be fast drying, I needed drip dry drops last night just to go to bed w/o dinking the nails.

I've got Fashion with top of Diamonds and Pearls. It's a good neutral nude for work, but still frustrated with the flakey top coat!
 
My purchase from HSN arrived the other day...

That's a great set.

DL Boom Boom Pow (over 1 coat of ChG Ruby Pumps over 1 coat ChG Branding Iron). Gryffindor colors to celebrate the last HP movie!

OMG great DL collection. :D
 
i did. too pink on me :(

Sorry that it didn't work for you -- it's so funny how the same colour can look different on different people. I'm wearing "Girls Just to Have Fun" right now and it is a wonderful orange-coral on me. I'm not usually a huge fun of coral or orange but this one is perfect for me.

And I love your whole DL collection, bluejinx, you have so many that I would love to have! I've got 6 at the moment and was going to place an order for a whole bunch more but instead just got a lot of Illamasquas in their UK sale.... Maybe next time!!

Seriously. A sale like that you have to jump on. The lippmanns can wait!

Don't say that about the top coat. I got one too but haven't used it. :(
 
I need your help!

All summer I have been wearing China Glaze neons because the other brights just aren't bright enough. So for pedicures I've alternated between Pink Voltage, Rose Among Thorns, Japanese Koi...

I tried Lippmanns' Lara's Theme, and it was too dirty looking (compared to Japanese Koi) so I immediately took it off.

For some reason, I'm feeling Lippmann's I Know What Boys Like for my next pedicure. Will I be sorry? Is it too soon to wear a dark colour? Should I wait until September?

It's really a periwinkle. I don't think it's very dark. But laras theme was VERY bright by my standards so I don't know. I had it on my toes for two weeks of July.

At the moment, I have I Know What Boys Like on one toe and China Glaze, Rose Among Thorns (neon) on the other and I can't decide. I know that Rose Among Thorns is probably more suitable for August... but I think I have neon overload.

I was so disappointed in Lara's Theme, I was hoping for a bight orange that wasn't neon and it looked so dull and very un-special on me. It was also very difficult to apply.
