Nicole by OPI Gossip Girl Collection Swatches & Review

Happy Tuesday all!

Well I hope you are coming off a nice long holiday weekend, if you live in the US that is. I wish every weekend was like this one was.

I have a very fun post today featuring the soon-to-be-released limited-edition Gossip Girl collection by Nicole by OPI. I was looking forward to this collection even though I had to stop watching the show this past season. It was getting to be a bit much, plus I watch SO many other things I liked more. Still lovin’ ya though Chuck Bass!

This collection features 4 new colors and all remind me of the ocean rather than bratty, rich, New York teens, but whatever, I still like ‘em. icon smile Nicole by OPI Gossip Girl Collection Swatches & Review

The formula on these was really quite nice, as most Nicole by OPI’s I own have been. The polish flowed nicely, I got great coverage and had no streaking with the metallic one.

Party In The Penthouse

Party In The Penthouse is a metallic medium blue with light blue shimmer. For a metallic, this went on very nicely and evenly. I like the color, but I’m not totally head over heels for it. I don’t think it’s all that unique of a blue, but still pretty and worth getting if you don’t have anything like this. This was two coats.

Sinful Colors Nail Polish Swatches and Purple Glitter Comparisons

Morning!

Today I have a weird hodge podge kind of post.

I have some Sinful Colors that I wanted to show but I also wanted to show a comparison of some glitters that have all come out recently and are very similar.

Uhhh nothing much else to say other than check the reviews and pics below! icon smile Sinful Colors Nail Polish Swatches and Purple Glitter Comparisons

Nail Junkie (without flash)

Nail Junkie is a pale sheer-ish sea-green jelly with multi colored and sized glitter in it. We’ve got some round glitter and some flake glitter, which I think makes this pretty interesting. I don’t think I would wear this on its own since it’s so sheer, but it would look crazy (good) over another green or black. This was three coats.

Nicole by OPI Spring 2010 Nail Polish Swatches & Review

Hallo mates!

Nicole by OPI has some new colors out for spring that I recently found at Walmart. They were on a stand that said “Walmart exclusives” so I’m not sure if these are only available there or what.

I have always had really great luck with the formula on these babies. They are super duper creamy and smooth, and usually pretty opaque in two coats. Peep ‘em!

Wink Of Twink is a silver with holo glitter. I would say this is a medium holo,meaning not as holographic as say the China Glaze OMG collection, but more holographic than some others I have seen. This was three coats.

Valentine’s Day Manicure Ideas

Hello!

As you know tomorrow is Valentine’s Day! Big whoop, huh? No, it’s kinda fun but also so much pressure to have this “perfect” Hallmark day. Personally I’m not doing anything fancy. icon smile Valentines Day Manicure Ideas

But that’s no reason you can’t have a little fun with your manicure! I was playing around with some easy to do manicure ideas (if you have the right colors, etc.) and thought I would post them. It’s nothing elaborate, no extravagant Konad designs from me. This is about as “artsy” as I can get with my nails, sorry! Some of these are fairly traditional looking and some others have more of an “edge” to them. Enjoy!

For this I used a really “sweet” pink with Nicole’s glittery polish with pink heart shapes. I have to say, these are a nightmare to work with. I had to fish the hearts out with a toothpick because they wouldn’t come out on their own. And then I placed them where I wanted them on the nail. Definitely a PITA, but ok for a one time thing I guess.
