I have been collecting polish in various collection stashes since the early 60's. Once we broke out of the old frost formulas and 'they' worked to get shimmer more than a tiny something in the polish, we have come a long way. But it's like looking at any subject you know well. When you reach that point of you have seen it and know most all of it, you are an expert and that is not who the market on polish is playing to always. Right now I am feeling there will be a return to some of the old 'mom' colors being updated and brought back out. There is a reason orange hit so big this summer - we have not had much in corals for years. It's time again - also time for the mauves to hit again.beachgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145677285299398734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049173977991321788.post-75222988063937723312009-02-07T19:55:00.000-06:002009-02-07T19:55:00.000-06:00Just to clear things up in case there's confusion:...Just to clear things up in case there's confusion: I'm not a store, I don't sell polish!

I will have to look at it under light, but that might be it :) <BR/><BR/>And yes, you can email me any time, I am always happy to help! :D<BR/><BR/>M, definitely Parlez-Vous OPI! The color is a little richer but the application is MUCH nicer. You can also get it cheaper than the $OPI :) Hope this helps :)Scrangiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622386355359049104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049173977991321788.post-37617174041571452162008-09-07T10:57:00.000-05:002008-09-07T10:57:00.000-05:00I really like the look of Parlez Vous Opi - i'm di...I really like the look of Parlez Vous Opi - i'm digging the whole lilac - grey deal for fall. However, after looking at the Sephora -Opi collection and seeing Call Your Mother, I'm finding it hard to decide which one i should get, or if i should get both. Which one did you like better? Right now i think i'm leaning towards Parlez Vous Opi, but i probably need a second opinion.

I'm finding the cute, teeny pots make application a little fiddly (I miss my ProWide!) but guess I'll just have to practise!

Thanks so much for posting them..I've ordered a mini set called Cafe Cuties which contains Eiffel For This Colour (my favourite based on your swatches), Parlez Vous OPI & Louvre Me, Louvre Me Not (the colour which originally attracted my attention) & I can't wait to try them for myself! I only wish that all the brands you've posted were available in the UK as I've really fallen in love with some of the colours- probably lucky for my wallet!Astridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14296011140802388699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049173977991321788.post-22563395957647991422008-08-25T12:37:00.000-05:002008-08-25T12:37:00.000-05:00Hi there Fudge!
