OPI 'Ogre the Top Blue'


This is from OPI's Shrek Collection.  I really LOVE that colleciton because it's all cremes but non of them were boring (see great swatches here).  This is a great medium blue creme, and I think every nail polish hoarder should have it.  At first I thought that it would be a dupe for Sally Hansen 'Blue Streak' but that's a lot more light and teal.  This is 2 easy coats great OPI formula.  Only problem is that when you take it off it may make your fingers blue!


What do you think?


Also there are these HYSTERICAL YouTube videos me and my friend Erica are obsessed with see below:

OPI 'Save Me'


HEY I'M BACK! THE BEST IS YET TO COME! Sorry had to say that.  I haven't blogged for a while because this weekend was my birthday and I've been feeling like CRAP!  Plus for my birthday I got an iPhone, so I don't really have any need for the internet on an actual computer.  But now, I promise, at least 2 posts a week.

So this is 'Save Me' from the OPI Nicki Minaj Collection.  And while I'm a HUGE Nicki Minaj fan the collection did disappoint me (really? 3 cremes? really?  And a crackle?  Didn't that end back in August??) I was really exited for this color.  'Save Me' is micro silver glitter with some holo bar glitter in a clear base.  Now this isn't extremely dense, which is good if you like layering glitter, but bad if you wanted to wear it solo.  So what you see above is 6 coats, so I would suggest layering 2 coats on top of silver.  But the holo bar glitter IS AMAZING! because when you move your fingers all of the pieces light up all different colors and it's like a disco ball.  

Did you guys like the Nicki Minaj collection?  Did you get any of them??

Color Club 'Candy Cane'


Happy Valentines Day!!  This is my Valentines Mani post.  No nail art.  I'm not a nail art kinda person if you haven't really picked up on that.  I wish I was, I actually found out this technique I might do more nail art....

Anyways, this is 'Candy Cane' from the Color Club Beyond the Mistletoe collection along with 'Holiday Splendor' and 'Sugar Plum Fairy' and three others I have yet to swatch. Actually it's 'Candy Cane' on top of Color Club 'Hot Like Lava'.  'Candy Cane' is a pink and lavender glitter with some holo glitter (see the blurry magic below).  This is 3 coats, but it's not totally opaque because in real life I could see 'Hot Like Lava' underneath.  But all in all i really like this nail polish it's a great glitter and I think on top of another color that's more pale this would be a lot less of a hot pink manicure, because if it wasn't for the base color it would be a light purple-pink.

OPI 'Planks A Lot'


I REALLY like this color it's so pretty (just like the 2. (and this)).  This is a lighter-medium gray-purple jelly.  Well, with all the other colors from this collection they only needed 3 coats.  These needed another couple because if you look at that, it's really awkward covered in bald spots.  So other than the sheer-er formula I really like this color.  And the name is funny, in OPI tradition.

OPI 'Steady as She Rose'


I don't know why, but I LOVE THIS!  It's in my Top 19.  This is 'Steady as She Rose' from the Pirates of the Caribbean Collection. It's a pale pink-lavender creme that has a great OPI formula (2 coats!)  Now, there's really not anything else I can say, it's just really pretty.  I love this, and, and honestly a little bit more than OPI 'Mermaids Tears' because that's most peoples favorite from this collection.

Color Club 'VooDoo You'



This 'VooDoo You' (Say that 5 times) from the Back to Boho collection.  Normally, when you buy Color Club you get all 7 in the collection, but for Christmas presents I had bought a whole collection and split it up, so your only gonna see 4 from this collection (sorry).  LOOK AT HOW COLLECTION IS 4 TIMES OVER THERE!!!  

This is a green-grey color that was opaque in 3 coats.  It has a really pretty blue and magenta and silver shimmer.  It's a pretty color, but I don't know I just don't really like it too much.  I don't know...  But it's a nice color

Do you guys have any pretty colors you don't really like?

Nails Inc. Magnetic Attractions Polishes Swatches


Yes.  YEES!!!!   When I opened this up on Christmas I FREAKED OUT!  I feel bad for taking this long to swatch it, but I wanted to wear them and not just swatch 'em (mind you they are $15 dollars a bottle and $45 per ounce).



This is just to show that 'Trafalgar Square's cap pops off because it's a magnet cap.



'Trafalgar Square'.  That's a weird name, but for those of you who didn't know all of Nails Inc. Polishes are named after a famous British places (it's a British brand, there all so proud of there foreign-ness like butter LONDON, a-england, no USA Lacquer brands...).  Sorry for the rant.  This is the gray magnetic and the stripes that apprear when you hold it up to a magnet it dark gray almost black. 2 coats.



'Whitehall' is a gray-turquoise metallic color that I promise is not as bright as it looks.  It's actually a lil bit uggy.  But the magnetic stripes make it very more attractive.  The stripes are dark navy almost black colored. 2 coats but that's only because it was my 1st time using the magnet so I messed up on the 1st coat.  :) hehe.


'House of Parliament' is my favorite of the 3.  It's much more purple than it looks here.  Here it looks pink, but trust me it's purple.  And again the stripes are much darker version of the regular not-magnetified color, but it's not almost-black, it's more like a dark purple.

Do you guys have any magnetic polishes???  If not YOU NEED THEM!
