chills is warm and crush is cool. Also I think chills is a bit more satin and crush is a bit more shimmer.

oh btw, do you have/have you tried frenchie? It's ever so slightly more on the cream/ "vanilla" side than nova, but it would probably work very similar on your inner corners

That's so sweet of you to offer, Laurie. I do have a sample of Specimen. I'll have to give it a try tomorrow. Thank you.

I can't recall if I have tried Frenchie before or not. Frenchie, Chills and Crush are all going in my wishlist. Thanks again, Sam!

I've tried Frenchie and Chills as a replacement... not even close :( I've never tried Crush.

I didn't try Specimen either. I just hope Nova is re-released... still hoping!

Specimen is the right texture and would be perfect if the blue was pink.
