OPI Honey Ryder

Hi guys! Hope you are having a great start to your week! :) I'm really excited to show this polish to you mostly because I thought I would hate it, but it turns out that I really love it.

Honey Ryder is a metallic gold textured polish. It also has little gold flakies in it that give it a great depth. It is really an interesting polish to look at which I adore.

Sinful Colors Genteel and Pistache + A Comparison

Hi lovies! :) Today I have a couple of shades from one of the new Sinful Colors Buff to Bright LE collection. There are so many I'm having trouble keeping track of everything. I picked up just these 2 but I might have to go back for a couple more! :)

Genteel is a pastel pink with a strong blue flash. You can see the blue flash in the bottle more than on the nail but it is very apparent in real life. So delicate, springy, and pretty. This is 3 coats.

OPI Suzi's Hungary Again

Yep, this would me be posting twice in one day! I did a quick mani with OPI Suzi's Hungary Again from the Euro Centrale collection and added cute hearts to my ring and thumb with black. I thought it was cute and fun for an everyday mani.

My hears need a but of work but I still thought this was kinda cute! Suzi's Hungary Again was a pretty pink with shimmer but I feel like it is definitely dupable. Hope you guys like this!

ABC Challenge- M is for Matte

I'm back! I know, I know I've been missing for ages. Finals took over my life and then I got super sick over spring break. We're talking bed for days. But I am back and I really missed you guys! I've finally started feeling better and work and school have slowed down a bit so nails are making their way back into my schedule (yay!) I know I missed a couple other ABC Challenge posts so I'll be adding them onto this post.

Anyway, onto the nails.....

For letter K I used Spoiled Kickin' the Habit, a neon fuschia. I was not a big fan of this at all. The brush absolutely sucked. It was more of just a big bushy thing rather than a brush. Also, depending on which way you turned the bottle it was a different color. And the color in the bottle was different than the color on the nail. I shook it up so much and I still felt like the pigment wouldn't mix up or something. Ugh.

Dotticure with OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls

Hi guys! Today I have some nail art I did a while back. I used a dotting tool for all of my dots (clearly I still need practice) This isn't as neat as I would have liked but I still wanted to post it on here anyway. Hope you guys like it!

ABC Challenge: D is for OPI Don't Touch My Tutu

Hi lovelies! Sorry for the super late post but it has been an absolutely crazy day. I had class from 8-4 then spent the next few hours studying for the midterms I have Friday. Feels like I can't catch my breath sometimes! Anyway for this week's challenge we are to show you all a polish, polish brand or nail art technique that starts with the letter D.

Dotted Hearts! OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons and Revlon Trendy

Happy Friday everyone! I don't know about you but I am so happy this week is over. This is going to be a quick post as I have to get back to studying for midterms (eek!) This mani started out as OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons with Revlon Trendy as an accent nail but of course, I got bored of wearing it after a couple hours. I had no idea what I wanted to do with this mani but I loved the colors together so I searched around for inspiration when I found this at Dressed Up Nails. I discovered Whitney's blog only recently but I seriously adore everything she has done. It's amazing really. Anyway this is what I ended up with.

Saran Wrap Mani!

Happy Monday everyone! Sorry for my lack of posting these past few days.... my sister and I both managed to get a bad bout of the stomach flu :( I feel like I've missed out on a bunch of stuff these past few days. To make it up to you I have a really pretty mani to show you! This is probably my favorite that I have done lately and I finally got a good color combo! :) Yayyy! For a saran wrap mani, you paint on your base color, wait until it dries, then paint on another color and quickly use little balls of saran wrap to take off some of the color. It ends up looking really cool like a stone of something. This is my first one that's actually been successful so I am excited to show you all!

OPI Skull and Glossbones + Essie As Gold as it Gets

Good morning lovelies! Today I have a polish that I had been lemming for the longest time before I finally found it at TJ Maxx of all places. I missed out on the OPI POTC collection initially then later realized I wanted all of them, especially Skull and Glossbones. I love grays and polishes like this so I was extremely excited when I found it! :)

Essence Modern Romance and OPI Crown Me Already!

Happy Monday! Today I just want to quickly share my NOTD. I just bought Essence Modern Romance which is my first Essence polish! It is a lovely peach color with bright pink shimmer. The shimmer was more visible in the bottle than on the nail but it is definitely there even though it was hard to capture in photos. I also did an accent nail of OPI Crown Me Already on my ring finger. 

Pink Wednesday! OPI Sparrow Me the Drama

Happy Wednesday! As per Mean Girls, on Wednesdays, we wear pink! I have about a million pink polishes and this is a fun way to show them to you guys. Today I started off with OPI Sparrow Me the Drama from last year's Pirates of the Caribbean collection. I wish I bought the entire collection and I'm still looking for a couple of them. OPI Sparrow Me the Drama is a nice neutral pink that is the tiniest bit dusty. I love dusty or greyed out polishes so this is perfect for me. I then layered a glitter over it that I had been lemming for a while, Seche Collage Overlay, pink (purple?) and holo hex glitter, silver bar glitter, and white hex glitter.

NOTD: Revlon Silver Screen

Hi ladies! So I actually have no idea how old this polish is (haha). I hauled it recently at Ross in a 4 pack for only $4.99- more on this in an upcoming post. I really bought the pack for this shade and one other and let me tell you, it was well worth it. This is a wonderful metallic silver foil and I love it for fall and winter.
