I had to apply two coats to have that rich deep effect but I adore it! I was a bit disapointed by this collection because frankly some of the colors are not THAT exceptionnal and being an India fan, there are so much more colors they could have included. But this shade made it totally worthwhile.<BR/>Anyhow, some strands in my brush were bent too, so what I did is pluck them out and it works even better as the brush is a bit thinner now. <BR/>p.s: nice blog ;)Polishednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463573814677466428.post-60442004909839125472008-02-23T03:05:00.000-05:002008-02-23T03:05:00.000-05:00Yoga-ta Get This Blue is really gorgeous in person, very dark but visibly blue, but I got some tip pull immediately and it started chipping like crazy after just one or two days. I used Nail Envy Sensitive as a base coat and Poshe as a top coat, so maybe I'll try it with a different combination. Really pretty color, shimmery and pearly looking at the same time :-)R.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05775350317111861082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463573814677466428.post-78142559530233276542008-02-21T05:39:00.000-05:002008-02-21T05:39:00.000-05:00YGGTB and Curry are in my shopping cart now, the other colors remind me of retreads as someone else stated... I think YGGTB is a lighter true blue, I have CG Up All Night and that is so inky, it's going up and away for the spring. Perhaps OPI reads this blog and will step up their game, get some unique colors. China Glaze blew them out the water with their spring collection.Janet in Atlantahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08620006115020396796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463573814677466428.post-20038889213159672172008-02-13T15:12:00.000-05:002008-02-13T15:12:00.000-05:00I bought Yoga-ta Blue and Royal R. Ruby and I love both! I bought the Chanel Blue Satin and I hate the formula (love the color) as it chips like crazy. The Yoga-ta is bluer and goes on really well. The RRR is much richer than Suzy Loves Sydney. I really like it but I think it's a better Fall/Winter shade to wear with grays and blacks. I really like the wear and application - RRR had great coverage with one coat.Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16124030695534230612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463573814677466428.post-52659240045701635882008-02-12T07:10:00.000-05:002008-02-12T07:10:00.000-05:00Hello,<BR/>Great picturse!

Also, you are right, this formula is fantastic, it went on my nails so smoothly and evenly. After looking at your pictures again I'm going to go out and get the elephantastic pink, that color seems like the perfect summer color.soon-to-be Mrs. Ishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07866896033379920176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463573814677466428.post-55342166364199721902008-02-09T20:01:00.000-05:002008-02-09T20:01:00.000-05:00I've gotta say...I was underwhelmed at first. Cincy, your swatches made me want RRR, but the rest seemed like total dupes of colors I already have.<BR/><BR/>Until today! I actually went to Trade Secret and saw them in person, and I don't think pictures do them justice. I picked up CUDBL and RRR, and I now want Charmed, YGGTB, and MOM. <BR/><BR/>I agree with a pp...these are the shades you will be drooling over when you see people wearing them in real life.lolanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463573814677466428.post-47964698566275844252008-02-08T19:49:00.000-05:002008-02-08T19:49:00.000-05:00Compared to the other red nail polishes in this post, I do think Lunch at the Delhi does have some coral to it (or maybe because it has the least amount of yellow flash to show through). Maybe you should make another post of all three red colours on one hand to make a more accurate comparison.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463573814677466428.post-87860784745599322312008-02-08T13:51:00.000-05:002008-02-08T13:51:00.000-05:00Thanks for the gorgeous swatches! I can see why you're not dazzled by RRR's originality, but it looks fantastic on you anyway. And, throwing my 2 cents into the coral debate: I think a "coral" can range anywhere from that hot red-orange to the softer pink-peach you were expecting. And yes, OPI's color descriptions are frequently worthless...Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08886090465239006645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463573814677466428.post-27389613261868433232008-02-08T13:25:00.000-05:002008-02-08T13:25:00.000-05:00For all you people saying that you don't like these shades, you will, once you see all your friends wearing them they will begin to grow on you.

It just seems like a mishmosh of everything hoping to please all. I say jack of all trades master of none on this "collection". <BR/><BR/>Individuallys some look okay and if the should learn from other brands and designers what the word "collection" means.

And maybe ChG Frostbite (I'm still wavering over that one because I have all of the above). I also have the Chanel Blue Satin and it seems very dark compared to Yoga-ta (I was actually a little disappointed in how dark the Chanel was, I'm looking forward to Yoga-ta).<BR/><BR/>Is Black Berry Chutney anything like Midnight in Moscow?<BR/><BR/>Love all of the swatches, your blog does a great service to those of us who'd love to see these close up and in person, but can't find the darn things in stock and get tired of running all over town looking for them ;-)Morticiahttp://profile.typekey.com/Morticia/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463573814677466428.post-90148966261032939282008-02-08T01:37:00.000-05:002008-02-08T01:37:00.000-05:00Thank you for those great swatches!

However, I personally prefer Great Expectations because it's more opaque and noticeably gray.
