   The colors are beautiful but I think I would be more likely to put them on my toes than my fingers.

   Thanks for the “nod”, Shannon! I tried the “Lite” color — the yellow — and absolutely love it. Now, this is a girl with “summer” coloring and an aversion to most “warm” toned make-up colors. In the past, I have found most yellow nail polishes too brownish, or too orange-ish, or too white and washed out. Not this one! It’s GORGEOUS!

In the past, I have found most yellow nail polishes too brownish, or too orange-ish, or too white and washed out. Not this one! It’s GORGEOUS! It’s the perfect, saturated shade of lemon yellow with a lit-from-within glow to it. The “piece de resistance”? My husband told me how much he liked it — and I don’t mean I asked him if he liked my nails — he TOLD me without asking! And, actually, suggested that I wear the color AGAIN! Wow. THAT is an endorsement. Good thing it goes on smoothly, I liked it best with 2 coats of color, and lasted 5 days before chipping (I’m hard on my nails). It actually lasted longer when I did my nails myself with just 2 coats of color and no base or top coat. When I had a manicurist use it — it peeled. But frankly, I don’t think it was the HD’s fault…

   I agree with Moe, these colors are fun but they are too bright for my fingers, I will gladly use them on my toes. I especially like the look of the purple, very tempting for fall, when you can still get away with open toe shoes.

   Response to Suzy, I too love yellow nail polish, and every color, even the OPI has this weird tinge to it. Made my nails look a weird Jaundiced color. Wasn’t pretty, unless I used a white base color underneath. It took wayyyyy to long to do the base clear coat, then the white, then the 2-3 yellow coats to make it pop…too much. I’ll take a look at these thanks for the review.

    Your post touched my heartstrings.
    The blue finger polish reminds me of Mamma’s final days.

    Oh my gosh! I looked exactly the same as you & your friends in the eighties. We did have a lot of hair back then!
    I love the purple Sally Hansen shade!

    eh they are AMAZING colors…. but they take WAY TOOO many coats, and never dry…well eventually but it takes forever! Definitely don’t apply hours before bed, you will be left with blanket imprints in your polish….was a huge hassle not worth it, only looks like the color in the bottle after 4 coats. The only good thing is because the product was noted as horrible cvs and walgreens have been selling them off color by color for under $3 on clearance. So If you are going to waste you’re money go the drug stores and get it NYC cheap.

    If I remember right, it only took me 2 coats to get the deserved color. For future uses of their polishes (and really for any polish I use) I have Zoya’s “Hurry Up” quick drying liquid that literally dries polish in seconds. Have you tried it? It’s pretty awesome. I wrote about it in this post: http://66.147.244.108/~agirlsg1/2009/10/review-zoya-nail-polish-color-lock-system
