I'm going to organize them by color on these stitch holders (for knitting). I've had a lot of fun getting this done, and it has helped me to abstain from buying polish!

If you don't mind me asking, what nail color are you wearing in the bottom photo?  It's really lovely.

I could be wrong, but I'd hazard Zoya Godiva? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> http://www.zoya.com/content/38/item/Zoya/Zoya-Nail-Polish-Godiva-ZP658.html

I thought it was a Pixiedust, but wasn't sure which one. Godiva or Tomoko?  I haven't seen swatches of Tomoko yet.  

Thanks Kyuu.

Well according to Zoya's official "no dupes here" swatch:



I could be wrong, but Jessica's polish looks more beige-y. I mean the photo is also yellow tinted so there's obviously a bias here but...

Nice side-by-side photo!

I bet you're right on this one.

idk if anyone saw or posted this already but i LOVE hearing about the remarkable women they name polishes after... this one is breaking my heart though, so just warning that you might need tissues.

Very moving, and yes I could have used a tissue.

Kyuu, good eyes! It's Godiva. And thanks! It is my favorite polish. It is the only one I reach for on a regular basis. Eta: I also have Tomoko on the way from the BOGO sale. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have Godiva as well. It is really a pretty neutral color to have in your collection.

Somehow I had the impression that your collection was MUCH bigger than this! LOL! Maybe it just hasn't all arrived yet?

Most up to date count is 170. I have 10 on the way from the Julep sale last weekend, & 4 from Zoya's BOGO. I have all of my juleps & Zoyas swatched, so I'm almost done with my swatch project. I can't tell you how helpful it has been to get this done! Now I know what I have & what I NEED! Lol.

Thanks for confirming it's Godiva!

Oooh, Tomoko looks nice too.  What else did you get at the Zoya sale?  I'm dying to get some fall Pixiedusts but haven't yet.  Chita is #1 on my list though.

In addition to Tomoko, I got Louise, Pepper, & Maria-Luisa.

I can't remember who, sorry, but someone was hoping for a Kai swatch? Thought I'd share since I was oddly enough able to capture the color pretty well

its a tiny bit more saturated but still very close

That was me.

  Thanks so much it looks great!

Changed my mind & decided to skip. I'm not interested in the beauty products & it's actually cheaper for me to just buy the few polishes I want later with my Beauty Bio code.

Had to change my mind, too, but due to cost ... I am an It Girl, but I changed to Bombshell to get Karmen and the cleansing oil, added Candace and Tatiana and Reece, using my Jules for one of them. So I am getting the ones I really wanted ... all except the cremes and primer, for $30. I may still try to pick up Marigold and Padma if I see some swatches that are more realistic.

 

[autopilot]

I skipped after all.

Was initially curious about the cleansing oil, but I'm waiting on a Michael Todd order so I don't really need more cleansers ATM.

As for the polishes? Meh. Just ordered the Zoya Satins set + Tomoko.

 

[jessicalriley]

I'm on the change train, too. I was going to skip bc I had my undies in a wad ab the shipping, but after I finished getting all of my juleps on swatch sticks I realized how much I really love them. I went with Bombshell because I REALLY want that red to be the perfect Roll Tide crimson. Even if it's not, it looks pretty. Also, I love the two Julep holos I have, so I need Reese. Also added Padma (I'm hoping that it has that slight shimmer!) & Candace (I love browns!).

This was the first month I've actually upgraded.  I'm kind of kicking myself for not upgrading on the Roaring Twenties though.  At first I wasn't super excited about it, but I did like Boho Glam, but then started adding a bunch of add-ons and was sad I couldn't add more.  Then I realized that I actually love about 90% of the colors.  I'm not too sure about the yellow or grey, but if they are the RIGHT shades, then they could be good.

I really thought this was going to be my first upgrade. Without a doubt. But too many bills, so I had to cut corners somewhere.
