I am off having fun in Atlanta, so I may not respond to this right away!
Well happy Saturday! Today I have some polishes to show you that I wore and just never put in a post, or did not have a lot of great photos for. But they are still nice shades and maybe you will find one in here you love???
I will just put them in alphabetical order!
Julep Annette: whited-out grey creme. Had some application issues but was really pretty IF you could apply it perfectly. As you can see, I could not. I ended up using it as a base for a glitter. 2 coats.
OPI Care to Danse? From the SoftShades NYC Ballet collection. I used this as a base for a Lumina Lacquer a long time ago but then came back and wore it again as it was so pretty. I of course did not think much about it when it was easy to get, and was a late adorer of this. Love it for year-round. 3 coats.
China Glaze Foie Gras: From last springs Hunger Games collection. I turned my nose up at it when it came out, but when Sally’s had it for $1.50 I thought, why not? I know this did not go over well with most but I quite like it. It is not for everyone, but for those who it works on, it is pretty stunning. What do you think of it on me? 2 coats.
Island Girl Honolulu Orchid: Beauty in a bottle. A gorgeous cool-toned pink that is just different enough that I had to have it in my collection 2 coats. It has a rubbery finish when left alone, like some Illamasqua polishes. I knew I was wearing it under a Serum No5 polish, so I did not use topcoat.
China Glaze Kalahari Kiss: The “pretty-ugly” from the Fall 2012 On Safari Collection. I do not really like it on me but have used it for some great nail art. 2 coats.
Pure Ice Kiss Me Here: a dirty grey creme, nothing really special but surprisingly, no other greys exactly like it in my stash. For a buck or whatever they sell for, can you really go wrong? 2 coats.
And last, but not least, Illamasqua Taint. Love the greyed-dirty brown rubber finish, hate the name. I mean really? 2 coats.
Do you love any of these, or should they have stayed in the vault?
Thanks so much for reading!

Okay, I’m not gonna lie, I was kinda thinking I didn’t like any of these polishes much, but then the Illamasqua made it all better!
Hah!
I love Annette; cream or greyed whites are always an instant hit with me. Shame about the formula :/
Yeah. I agree. I love those shades, too. I have a Dermelect I just got sent for review from the new collection that I think you may REALLY like.
I like these! I think Foie Gras looks great on you! Illamasqua needs to quit it with the weird names, but keep up the gorgeous polishes! Haha!
Haha i totally agree!!!
The Pure Ice grey polish is one of my favorite greys. I’ve used it as as undies for a lot of glitters :)
I think I am definitely going to be using it more!
Fois Gras turned out to be one of my faves out of the Hunger Games Collection.
I am so surprised at how much I loved jt!
I originally bought Care to danse as a mini but I loved it so much that I bought a full sized one :D
All of these shades you are showing are so pretty!
Thank you! :-) I originally had no interest in it then somehow fell in love.
I actually really like the OPI neutral one it would be a really pretty either regular, or funky french manicure or just a base for a pretty design.
Some of these I would totally wear, and some I wouldn’t.

Curiosity, which ones? :)
Did I already ask this! I meant to.
