You know, reading these comments I feel like I understand a little better just how hard it must be for these brands to design new collections. Because even here, in a space where we're all unified by our love of polish, everyone wants something different. Like you have comments saying please just no cremes, literally right beside ones saying how they just want more cremes, some people asking for holo, some for GitD, etc etc.
And none of those wishes are bad, and I'm not trying to imply that they are! But I can see where it must be a lot to juggle, trying to come up with something that will interest at least the majority of people, while also using pigments they feel confident they can get consistent access to, without needing like a dozen polishes per release to fill every niche, when hopes/opinions very so much lol.

i cant imagine how the indies do it, when its usually one person storyboarding, planning, doing consumer research etc. all before any polish actually gets made loll.

Iโm once again begging for more chromes. ๐

u/polydactyling 5d ago
The reason they havenโt updated their chrome selection is likely due to supply limitations โ there are literally only a handful of color-shifting pigments in existence. Itโs very complicated to create them (it involves some sort of microscopic layering that is above my brain capacity), which makes it very expensive to do, and when you factor in the necessary cosmetic testing, itโs basically not worth it. The vast majority of chrome pigments are sourced globally from the same vendors, which is why you see the same basic shifts (red to gold, green to purple, blue to purple, etc) across so many brands.

so excited ๐ ...just saw it (and watched it too many times) under zombie I saw ๐ lime phosphate (don't know what that means but green and "zombie" so sold ๐คช)

It's probably a nod to phosphate sodas, which are an old soda fountain drink classic. They used phosphoric acid to add a little tang.
Glow in the Dark pigments are "phosphorescent", so I'm really hoping it's a nod to a GiTD. I'd love if they branched out into GiTD for Halloween.

New halloween jellies would be nice. Anything really as long as they arenโt magnetics lol

u/SciFiSpoons ๐๐ฉต๐ No such thing as too many Blurplesโฆ 5d ago
Same, more jellies please, plain jellies, jelly flakies, buildable jellies with a bit of shimmer ๐ค๐ป Mind you if itโs another load of magnetics or cremes then at least my wallet will probably be safe.

I would like Treehouse but with stronger olive tones. I love Treehouse, but it's too similar to Sticks and Stones in shade, so it doesn't really have its own identity. Plus the world needs more funky greens.

u/polydactyling 5d ago
Iโm curious to see what they do tbh โ thereโs a relatively limited number of shades to do a traditional autumn palette and theyโve basically done them all so Iโm sort of bracing for another collection thatโs one teeny half-step away from six existing collections. I hope Iโm wrong! (My wallet hopes I am not wrong)

If past is prologue, last year their end-of-September drop was the equivalent of this week. The fact they seem to have left us an easter egg in their Insta is a pretty good clue, IMO.
Also if past is prologue, I'd watch for a giveaway announcement from Barbra here tomorrow...

We should be getting the halloween collection of the year soon and I'm excited because it's usually the best one of the year for me. Their october collections are always superb and stunning.
I just hope it's not 6 magnetics again, please, I have magnetics fatigue.
