Oh I just know you're going to be so ...Awesome! Oh I just know you're going to be so happy with yourself for trying Il Était Un Vernis, the polishes are just so well done. I know what you mean, though. When I have a single polish from a brand, I usually bought it because it was special and it still is! Two of mine that I can think of right away are Laquerlicious Lady Liberty and Kunimitsu Lucky Goldfish. I've destashed a lot of polish but when it comes to those really special ones, I just can't do it.<br /><br />Typically when I try a new brand, I purchase at least three. Sometimes more, and sometimes this backfires on me when the polishes aren't what I expect. This happened to me just recently with a brand where I decided to buy a whole collection of six. So far I've tried two and they were ok, but I'm just not feeling it, you know what I mean? So here I have four untried polishes that are much less appealling to me now than they were when I bought them. It's much more practical to try just a few at first, because you can always get more. But I am not the most practical person around. <br /><br />At least you won't have this problem with Il Était Un Vernis! The quality is so consistent, I can't imagine your not being pleased with any of your picks.

LO...I agree - it's time I invest in this brand! LOL, it's not so much a rule about new polish brands - it's more of the fact that I often only get one of a brand I haven't tried before (one out of a collection) and then don't get any others, and that one sits there on my spreadsheet all by its lonesome and bugs me to no end! One of these days, I am just going to destash them! Well, not the only Chanel I have - Malice - or the only F.U.N. I have - 24 Karat Diamond or Max Factor Fantasy Fire! I guess the only thing I can do is get more than one, hahah.

You've enjoyed them all so much, why not? They aren't cheap to ship, but it's not an unreasonable cost, and they are very high quality. I realize it would be breaking your rule of not acquiring new brands, but couldn't you make an exception for these? The #hashtag collection is still available, as is the Pinot Noir red that you loved, and they've just come out with a new collection for spring. Check it out, girl!

This one, however, surged out in front. I love it! That macro photo of your thumb! I don't normally have that much enthusiasm for the teals that lean more green. This one seems to lean to a very pretty blue, with the hint of dustiness thrown in? Basically, I wish I was at my polish desk laying this on my nails!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
