No.. no I just can’t get enough of pastel nail polishes.

After China Glaze’s Up & Away, Essie’s Art Of Spring and Orly’s Sweet (makes mental note to order a few of them) collections now the German brand Essence has released a spring collection called Cute As Hell with four pastel nail polishes. Of course I had to get them.

I was lucky to be the first customer that could take a look at the display from the Cute As Hell collection because I already heard that this collection sells out quick – especially the lavender nail polish.
When Essence releases a collection with predictable popular nail polishes you have to be quick because the displays of the limited editions only hold three nail polishes of every color and the stock in the displays is the only stock the drugstores get. Sometimes you are lucky and the drugstore gets a second shipment (meaning a second display) but still this only would make a stock of six nail polishes per shade.

But enough with the sadness about the limited stock and lets take a look at the swatches.

I did it. I got weak and ordered Chanel’s Particulière. *puts head down in shame*

After it was sold out online I felt this lemming and that my nail polish loving friend Birgit told me that its sold out in Switzerland didn’t help much either. So I went to my local perfumery and it was sold out too. I was the 14th or more customer that asked for it in the last days.

I was ready to forget about it and move on but then.. on a morning while browsing through a german online store I saw it. It was back in stock.
I had no other choice but to put it in my basket and I saw that only six were left. Pressing the submit order button never felt better.

I don’t have much taupes in my collection yet but lets take a look at how Particulière looks compared to OPI’s You Don’t Know Jacques, Essie’s Mink Muffs and the limited edition Chocolate Shake by Essence.
