Nicole by O.P.I - I Stop for Nicole

I Stop for Nicole by Nicole : O.P.I was a disappointment for me. The color when looking at it in the bottle is really pretty with red, orange and pinkish sparkles. However when I put it on it is really sheer and streaky. The photo attached has 3 coats which I put on very heavily. I usually don't use much Nicole polish and I haven't had much experience with it. ( my boyfriend picked out the color when I told him to surprise me from my bathroom polish rack). Other then the polish being sheer I did like the brush. It had a round tip rather then a squares off one and it seemed to be thicker.

O.P.I - Pamplona Purple

Since St. Patty's day is over I decided to change my color to something more springy or maybe just to get my mind off of the snow that we are getting. I chose Pamplona Purple by O.P.I. It is a great purple, not too light or dark just right! Great beginning of spring or wanting spring color without getting too pastel.

Happy St. Patty's Day!! China Glaze - Winter Holly

China Glaze - Winter Holly
Even though it is "Winter Holly" this polish swings very well for St. Patty's day. It is a matte full glitter polish. It has mainly dark green sparkles with bits of gold. It comes out on your nails like O.P.I's Liquid Sand Collection.
I absolutely love it! Happy St. Patty's day!! :) 

China Glaze - Afterglow

China Glaze - Afterglow
Afterglow by China Glaze is now one of my new favorites. I'm usually more in to darker reds and purples but I went out on a whim and bought Afterglow at Ulta. I absolutely love it. It's very sheer. The photo above was shot with a light just to show the iridescent colors with in the polish. It reminds me of a bubble. It turns a light pink, blue, green, and a pearly white. It would be great for a wedding or prom!

Zoya's Kendal

Zoya - Kendal

Zoya - Kendal
Since it is almost spring I thought I would go with a more pastel color and this was one of the only true pastels that I own. I wasn't too impressed with Zoya's Kendal. It might be because I am used to seeing dark colors on my nails and this was a big change. But the color, in different lighting, was a milky lavender or gray. Other then the color the polish itself was nice and creamy.

Every Month is Oktoberfest...

O.P.I - Every Month is Oktoberfest

I bought this polish a few months ago and just now used it. It would be a great fall nail polish if you didn't get that from the name. It has a subtle iridescent feel to it. It turns from a dark blue, purple, burgundy, orange and dark red. Great for fall. I'm a dark polish kind of girl so this really suits me. With this I also used O.P.I RapiDry Top Coat. 

The three polishes I used for this manicure.
O.P.I RapiDry Top Coat, O.P.I Every Month is Oktoberfest, and O.P.I Nail Envy Strengthener

Nail Envy by O.P.I

O.P.I Nail Envy - Nail Strengthener

I am absolutely in love with Nail Envy. I've been using it for about a year now. I will only do a manicure with it. It helps strengthens your nails. I use it as a basecoat or by itself. It's a great product. It costs a little more then your average O.P.I polish but it is completely worth it!!
