OPI Lincoln Park at Midnight

Tuesday already! Hope the week is going well so far!
This is gorgeous, one of the polishes I got from the KGB Deals sale for Aveyou. So happy I got it. I was so excited for it I decided to go to nubbins for this vamp.
This is one layer Gelous two coats OPI Lincoln Park at Midnight and a coat of Seche Vite. It is super dark but it doesn't look black for the most part. I think you can tell it is purplish red. I love it!

Kind of like Orly Rock Solid?

I had a chance to pick up Rock Solid but I skipped it. I still don't know if I regret it but after seeing swatch after swatch, I decided to try to recreate it using what I had. It isn't exact but I still like it.
I started with a coat of Gelous, two coats Pure Ice Kiss Me There, a coat of OPI Birthday Babe (my only silver, I don't think it looks very good on me) a coat of China Glaze White Cap and a coat of Color Club Starry Temptress Topcoat and a layer of Seche Vite. 
I wish it turned out darker, I don't like how bright birthday babe is, again I just don't think silver is for me. I wanted it to look more gritty and less smooth so thats where White Cap came in. Then I wanted some holo sparkles and Starry Temptress was happy to oblige. Sorry about the oily cuticles I just put on cuticle oil before I took pictures. It is much more Holographic in real life I am just bad a photographing it!

OPI Back in the Saddle

This is my OLDEST polish. I think I bought it sometime in High School.... which was in the ballpark of not quite ten years ago. It is a black label which I think means old formula. I had to add thinner but it worked out fine.
It looks a lot like Essie Braziliant. In reality it is much more muted, almost rusty or burnt orange. I like it but don't love it maybe it needs to grow on me. It has a really pretty golden shimmer to it, more like a metallic flash than shimmer. 
I did one coat Gelous two coats Back in the Saddle which was very easy to work with and a top coat of Seche Vite.
I am really starting to like my rounded nails but they don't photograph as well to me.

Longest Names Ever!

This is one coat OPI You Don't Know Jaques! With a flower on my ring finger using OPI Tasmanian Devil Made Me Do It, and a white nail art polish by So Easy called Strip Rite for the dot in the middle. This is my first attempt at nail art and I think it went pretty well. YDKJ was beautiful! My kind of color! It was sitting next to TDMMDI in the drawer and they just looked so cool together I couldn't help it. I did the flower on both hands thumb and ring finger as accents. This picture makes it look like the tips are messed up but they weren't IRL. Enjoy!

OPI Alpine Snow With Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Twinkle Twinkle

Well I was excited about this mani until I saw the macros, mama needs to start taking better care of those cuticles. I went on a road trip yesterday for a wedding, where I drove most of the distance and I wasn't able to moisturize so I am using that as my excuse.
This manicure is nice and clean with a fun little touch of sparkles. I have been wanting a nice palate cleanser for a while and OPI Alpine Snow couldn't have been more perfect, super easy application and barely any cleanup. It took three coats to cover fully but if you're careful you can do it in two. I topped it off with the last of my Poshe. When I went to the store to buy my Seche Vite, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Twinkle, Twinkle caught my eye and I decided I needed it. I had been wanting to try a accent nail and thought these two might be a match made in heaven and I was right. Twinkle, Twinkle is a blue glitter in a clear base with large hexagonal holographic glitters. The only thing I would change is the amount of glitter per brush stroke, the accent nails are 3 coats each of glitter and I would have continued but I didn't want to have a ton of polish on my nails it makes them too thick. I topped the glitter with my new Seche which dried super quick like promised and no tip pull so far. The smell might be enough to put some off it but the dry time and the ease of use were worth it in my book.
Enjoy this mani, I know I have (ignore the cuticles)
