Honestly, nothing stood out to me except a black one called Black Diamond. It was black with gold shimmer, but I saw multicolor flashes in it when I examined the bottle closely The others looked like they could be OPI dupes with less witty names. I also took the lid off the bottle. The formula must be thicker than OPI, because the polish didn't drip from the tip of the brush. <br /><br />The Sulas are pretty, but I don't think they would last either. The formula seemed very watery, and it smelled like that kiddie nail polish that peels off.debnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049173977991321788.post-52646979375242087972009-05-11T16:01:00.000-05:002009-05-11T16:01:00.000-05:00Krasey Beauty, aren't they hot? :D

Pink, Dating a Royal, and In My Back Pocket. However, it remains to be seen if it is the holo version (which one of my all-time favorites as well). <br /><br />Ulta is also debuting their own "Professional" collection of nail polishes. I noticed my local store was reorganizing the polish section to make way for them. Some of the colors look like they could be good. There are some grays, metallics, purples, and blues.<br /><br />Sula Paint and Peel polishes are also going to be available. As much as being able to remove polish easily is great, I would be afaid that such easy remove means your polish will come off when you don't want it off.debnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049173977991321788.post-48038552160386322612009-05-10T12:17:00.000-05:002009-05-10T12:17:00.000-05:00I'd been avoiding this collection as I didn't thin...I'd been avoiding this collection as I didn't think there was anything I neeeeded, and I thought OTT was a fairly close dupe of You Don't Know Jacques.
