OPI Silver Shatter!

I got OPI Silver Shatter in the mail today and had to try it right away, so here it is over Revlon Royal. My nails aren't that pretty right now, but I love it!

Stamping time!

It's a beautiful day here in Indiana. The weather is perfect! I did this mani last night using OPI Ski Teal We Drop and the orange special polish from Konad. I'm not really sure why I have the orange polish; I'm actually not a huge fan of orange and I don't think I've ever used it until now. Hmmm. Anyway, I used one of the Bundle Monster stamping plates. I like the designs on these plates but as many have complained, the designs are kind of tiny to fit the entire nail. The result is a bit messy, but here it is:

OPI Extra-va-vaganza

I swatched all of the glitters I showed in the last post, but I wasn't happy with how they turned out (and it was pretty cloudy), so for now I'm just going to show you this one. I will post the others as I wear them.

This is Extra-va-vaganza. I used three coats but probably could have done four. No top coat. If you liked the glitters from the Alice in Wonderland collection, you'll probably like these.

OPI Burlesque

Here's a little preview of the OPI Burlesque shades I picked up. Click for big pictures that show much better detail!

Top and bottom are both L to R: Show It and Glow It!, Simmer & Shimmer, Extra-va-vaganza!, Sparkle-icious

The sun is setting here (always is by the time I get home from work), so I will get some real swatches up this weekend if it's sunny. These are really sparkley and pictures without sunlight just don't do them any justice!

OPI & Orly

Double feature! Today's nails began with OPI's Dim Sum Plum. Really nice color, went on smoothly but more of a pink than a plum, I think. Oh, and I meant to mention this in my last post featuring OPI - I used to hate OPI a couple years ago. I found the formula so thick and gloopy (Gargantuan Green Grape, for example) and I couldn't get all the hype. But since giving them another chance as of late, I have been really pleased with the formula, color choices, and dry time. Click for big pictures!

I decided this was a bit boring and to Konad over it. I used a design from plate m65 with Orly Luxe.

I love this Orly polish. Great for stamping and as an all over color. Lots of sparkle.

OPI Yodel Me On My Cell

I decided to switch my polish to OPI Yodel Me On My Cell from the Swiss collection:

I have several of the polishes from this collection and I have to say, I love them all. The application on these is great, especially if you're in a hurry - I find they dry really quickly. Now I have to admit, when I first saw swatches for this collection I actually was not initially interested in this particular polish and didn't pick it up. But people kept raving about its beauty and I do love blues so I decided to get it. Wow! Pictures cannot justify the beauty of this polish. When the sunlight hits it, it sparkles like crazy. So glad I ended up getting this one!
