LOL <br />Hmm I know I've seen Svri but Emme isn't ringing a bell. Glad to hear your sis likes them! Nope, no rest for the wallet! I'm sure you saw Zoya's newest promo; the buy 3 for "free," aka $12 shipping, so $4 each. I miiight scoop up Dahlia & Neeka, and I'm sure I can find something else to add to my cart. ;) BL has flakies?! :O Are they part of the winter collection? I guess I didn't pay much attention to it for some reason. I bet they're amazing... Off to Google I go! ...with my keyboard, instead of a chisel. ;) My laptop screen is also happy about that. heheAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02871454381043731090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-59786591780596117422014-01-01T20:45:23.198-08:002014-01-01T20:45:23.198-08:00There is no rest for the wallet in this hobby, lol...There is no rest for the wallet in this hobby, lol ;) But seriovsly, I know it! I'm dying to try the BL flakies but I jvst can't jvstify more polish at the moment.<br />The Zoyas I wasn't over the moon about were Emme and Svri. Both are in good hands with my leetle seester. It made sense that I'd love them, a pearly pink and a blackened green, bvt they didn't send me, for whatever reason.<br />And the whole stone and chisel convndrvm-- indeed, I wovld not want to mess with cvrvatvre in carving words, I can only imagine the headache. Pens, pencils, and keyboards are mvch nicer.Lieslhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615405705989668452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-74850270172661108202013-12-31T21:15:06.523-08:002013-12-31T21:15:06.523-08:00Yeah it'd be nice, but I don't wanna risk ...Yeah it'd be nice, but I don't wanna risk it at that price point. :-/<br />Which ones did you get and aren't loving? I wish I'd gotten Dahlia and Neeka like I was originally going to. :( I think I've learned my lesson about trusting online swatches! You're right, Evvie does look nicer - at least in the online swatch! LOLOL<br />Oh c'mon, you've already gotten me hooked on some higher end brands; let my poor bleeding wallet be for awhile! hehe I can't believe I didn't realize on my own that LVX is supposed to be "lux" as is "light." VERY cool!! That darn V/U thing is just sneaky. ;) I mean, I understand it; have you even tried to make a curved marking in a rock using a hammer & chisel?!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02871454381043731090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-70695468480017834242013-12-30T22:32:37.906-08:002013-12-30T22:32:37.906-08:00Thank you so much, Cat ♥ It's a pretty fantast...Thank you so much, Cat ♥ It's a pretty fantastic collection.

Maybe not so trite (I just called to my mind every Christmas in New York romantic first date scenes ever filmed D:) but my imagination is lacking at the moment (which isn't saying much). Scarlet is a bit of a bummer but it's okay because I like Magenta better, anyway :) Thank you for your words, as always!Lieslhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615405705989668452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-23081533891490796302013-12-30T22:23:32.676-08:002013-12-30T22:23:32.676-08:00Lool, at first I thought it was so gimicky but the...Lool, at first I thought it was so gimicky but then I learned what it truly meant and... well, still gimicky but "cool gimicky", hahaa. Dead languages are fun :) And thank you ♥ One of my many new year's resolutions for la blog is to improve my prose, which probably means I'll have to forgo 6:30 am keyboard mashing sessions.

Bummer about Ibiza and Noot. I got three during a promo at the end of last year and I wasn't over the moon about a couple of them...the third hasn't even been worn yet :p But seriously, nothing compares to seeing the color on your own nails and being able to look at the finish in person, even just on the swatch sticks in the stores. Re. Noot and Evvie, I know Evvie looked nicer with my skin tone and I think I thought the color had a touch more personality? I don't remember. Maybe I was sold on the name, lol :D <br />I hope you do try some LVXs! They're so nice. And thanks for the compliment :D I really had fun putting this one together.Lieslhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615405705989668452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-37274305791322599642013-12-30T08:02:25.682-08:002013-12-30T08:02:25.682-08:00Scarlet's gorgie, I agree!Scarlet's gorgie, I agree!Lieslhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615405705989668452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-3762918454074507472013-12-30T07:58:14.741-08:002013-12-30T07:58:14.741-08:00Thanks so much, Lisa!! ♥Thanks so much, Lisa!! ♥Lieslhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615405705989668452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-45978476165586893352013-12-30T07:57:50.514-08:002013-12-30T07:57:50.514-08:00Thank you ♥♥ I know you would love this brand!

But LVX has perfectly intoned a collection of six winter basics in nail polish terms. They all look gorgeous on you what a pity about the formula of Scarlet but one glitch out of six is not bad ;-).

But darn that tricky formula! :( I actually just got two Zoyas (Ibiza & Noot) from one of their flash promos and both of them were horrible for me... I have no idea why, maybe they didn't agree with the base I used (Seche Rebuild)? It was just so weird! And I'm a bit sad that the colors are not quite what I was expecting, despite a lot of swatch Googling! :P<br />I am very tempted to pick up a couple of these though... I remember ooohing and ahhhing over your Cashmere swatch too. ;) Seriously, could your collection swatches be any more perfect?!?!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02871454381043731090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-70577925859294607782013-12-26T13:10:24.204-08:002013-12-26T13:10:24.204-08:00This is a pretty collection.
