SUNDAY SPAM!

Lay It On Me - Vegas - I think I did a pretty job of getting the streaks to show this time. They actually looked better in real life.

Zoya - Yasmeen

China Glaze - Sugar High

China Glaze - Light As Air

Nubar - Peacock Feathers - What an unbelievable duochrome

Zoya - Ginessa

Moodstruck - I can't stand that these don't have names!!! This polish is sooooo damn pretty. It is one of the prettiest polishes I have ever put on. It got compliments everywhere. But sadly, it doesn't change colors :c( There is maybe a itty, bitty change, but not enough to deem it a mood polish.

CQ - Pearls

Sally Hansen - Lacey Lilac

OPI - Radiance + OPI - Turquoise Shatter - This cracked the best on my thumb. I did a thicker coat and I like it much better than the rest of my fingers.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!

OPI - Blue Shatters: Swatches and Review

If you aren't digging the crackle trend I am so sorry because OPI has released three new blue Shatters for us. I think they are all gorgeous. I actually gasped when I opened the box and saw them in person!
Turquoise Shatter - This one was the one that made me gasp the loudest. This is a glowing, lit up shimmer shatter in a cool, turquoise color. It is a bit translucent so I showed it over white to show the true shade and over Petites - Daze which let the green and the intense shimmer show through.

Blue Shatter - This is a cobalt shimmer shatter. Shown over white and Sinful Colors - Cream Pink. This one looks a bit faded on the nail. I think I thicker coat would have been better.

Navy Shatter - This is like a navy jelly that is obviously blue and not black. I have it here over white and a mint: Nicole by OPI - My Lifesaver.

I love all of these shades but I would since I like the crackle trend. I can see how if you don't like it, you aren't going to be a fan of these polishes. As far as crackles go, they are fantastic. OPI really has the formula down. They do look best, and wear best, with a top coat.

These are out now. What do you think?!

Glam Slam France Part Deux

Hello! I have the other set of OPI - Glam Slam for you today!

Rally Pretty Pink - This is a mauvy, pinky, purple with very strong gold shimmer. It reminds me of Zoya - Faye but I haven't compared them yet.

Red Shatter (shown over Rally Pretty Pink) - This shatter is awesome because it is a sheer, jelly-ish crackle as opposed to an opaque creme crackle like most are. It allows the shimmer or glitter in your base color to come through a bit. I like that because I feel uncomfortable using a creme crackle over a shimmer or glitter, but having that translucent property makes me feel better. :c) I also thought I would feel uncomfortable about this crackle combo, but it actually does look nice.

What do you think?

Glam Slam France

In conjunction with the French Open (currently happening) OPI has released some new shatter shades inspired by Serena Williams. The first set I am showing you is the white shatter/delicious glitter combo>>>

Spark de Triomphe - I was really excited to see this one because I had a feeling from pictures it was more special than a regular silver glitter and I was right! It's actually a mix of silver and gold glitter in varying sizes! SOOOO PRETTY! My pic really doesn't do it justice.

White Shatter (Shown over Spark de Triomphe) - This is a standard crackle in white creme. Cracks quick and is easy to apply. I was concerned that I wouldn't like this combo because I didn't want to cover up the pretty glitter and I actually love it! To vary the cracks, as I applied I moved the brush back and forth while moving closer to the tip. Love it.

The Glam Slam sets are out now. What do you think?!

Sunday SPAM!

This is a double spam! Two weeks of manis in one!

China Glaze - Dorothy Who? - Yes I really haven't worn this until now. I have had it for over year!!! Crazy.

China Glaze - Ruby Pumps - Another China Glaze classic it took me forever to get to. I am sure glad I finally got it on! So pretty.

China Glaze - Solar Power - I wore this of for like four days. Everyone loved it... including me!

Zoya - Kelly - Notice how quick my nails have disappeared in the last few weeks!? I've been breaking them like mad. I need to relax and stop throwin my hands around like a crazy person.

Clarins - 230 (over Zoya - Pinta) - I can't believe I actually have this!!!

BB Couture - Cap-Haïtien - What a gorgeous purple creme.

Milani - Digital - I picked the absolute worst time to wear this. I had to take a pic with a daylight bulb and that doesn't do this justice. This needs sun and the two days I wore this there was absolutely none in sight.

Wet n Wild - Nocturnal - I got this one on in one coat so it wouldn't look black and I love the result!

Rocks Mani - This friggin thing. I was outside yesterday with the dogs and I was thinking that the rocks on the side of my house looked so pretty in the rain and it inspired me to do a "rocks mani". So I made blobs with Nubar - Palisade, Color Club - Charity Ball, Orly - Pure Porcelain, Sally Hansen - Gray Area, Zoya - Dove, Tropez - Black Satin and a franken I made called Light and Sweet. Does it look like rocks?

Have a great week!

SUNDAY SPAM!

Sorry this is late! I am still going to date it Sunday tho!!!

Firefly - This is a franken I made with OPI - Megawatt?!, a glowy yellow shimmer and some Sinful Colors - Last Chance, a dark green jellyish creme. Too bad I had to mess up the ring finger when I put on top coat.

Orly - Pure Porcelain - This is awesome! I love this color. I don't know if it is close at all because I don't have it, but it kept reminding me of RBL - Plie.

Deborah Lippmann - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - Squishy fun! This has great opacity for being jelly. I did 3 coats but probably could have stopped at two.

Nicole by OPI - My Lifesaver - Man I loved wearing this vibrant mint! I just used an old photo as opposed to taking a new one. You guys have seen this before! :c)
