gorgeous pics! they're so clear. It's funny that a lot of my pigments are almost at the same levels yours are (looking at yellow & mustard in particular!)

I still think it's so weird that Red has such a huge label (mine does too), but I noticed in one of your pics you have a Silver with a huge label too. Any clue wtf that was all about? I've asked people before but they had no clue what I was talking about lol

[musicislove05]

Thank you! Yeah I think I have the least amount of Yellow and Auburn :(

I think it's weird too! When I first received it, I actually thought it was fake because I had never seen a pigment like that before, but then I asked someone on Specktra about it and she told me it was real. Yeah, Silver is my only other one that has that. It's not the frost silver though. I just assumed it was the metal one since it's way different in terms of color compared to the silver frost

P.S.

You should do your pigment collection!! I would love to see it upclose!

When you posted your collection post, I noticed you said you had empties and you put the newer style jar pigments into it. So do you carefully take off the label and put it on the bottom? Do you do this with all the new pigments?

[slinky]

yeah the labels actually peel off fairly easily. I've done it with all of the new style jars thus far (minus the ones in special packaging). Just make sure you press firmly into the jar you're transferring it to. I hate the new jars, they're top heavy and don't always stay closed

Last time I posted my collection I don't think I did up close shots because it's sooo time consuming D: But nothing has changed in a long time. I think the last pigment I bought was earlier this year (Light Blue)

[musicislove05]

That's a good idea. I hate the new jars too.

It is time consuming but I had free time today :)
Do you have a lot of backups of the rare ones or mostly just le pigments?

[slinky]

no backups of the mattes (just sold my backup Turquoise actually), but I do have an extra Softwashed, Coco, Coco Beach, Deckchair, both Blues, Quietly, Green, Forest Green, and maybe Subtle

I got so sad, like a month ago I spilled most of my Maroon pigment on my carpet (and now have a beautiful stain) but I wish I didn't sell my extra vial, you don't happen to have an extra, do you?

[musicislove05]

May I ask how much you sold it for? Would you ever sell your Softwashed? I feel like since mine says sample, its not a real oj. Do you still buy backups if you see them or have you stopped? I used to but Ive sold a couple and try to stock with just one jar.

Omg I would have been so upset!! :( and no I don't :( I don't even have vials except the ones from the Tartan holiday collection. Im sorry

[slinky]

It was like 80% full, above the MAC lettering by a lot with the box & I sold it for $50. I don't know if I'd sell Softwashed, never say never though. And you're crazy, since it says sample it's totally OJ! just means it's what the trainers had before the collection was launched so to me it's even more special!

I haven't bought backups in a long time. I think I'd only buy one if it's a crazy price or it's something I know I'm low on. I don't think I have very many backups left (maybe like 25 jars?)

Were there any non-super rares you were looking for?

[musicislove05]

That's a good deal on Turquoise! I remember it took me so long to get that one! And I know about Softwashed! lol.. I'm crazy! Even though I have a jar of one, a small part of me still wants backups of them for whatever reason! But I've tried stopping that because I could use that money towards ones I don't have.

Yes, I'm looking for a lot because I only have like half of the pigments I need :( But it's ok because I got the harder ones out of the way! Do you have word or excel? I can email you my list that way you can see which ones I need in case you have backups of them or want to get rid of any :)
