NOTD Revlon Whimsical over Nicole by OPI My Lifesaver

Hello lovelies! The weather is finally sunny and gorgeous here so I wanted to put on a bright, fun color on my nails! I realized that I haven't worn Revlon Whimsical since I bought it. Whimsical is a pretty sheer pastel green with scattered light blue and light pink glitter. It's very sheer so I decided to add it over Nicole by OPI My Lifesaver which is a gorgeous  light aqua green. My Lifesaver has a great formula, it's easy to work with and opaque in two coats. Here is two coats of Whimsical over two coats of My Lifesaver:

I love it! The subtle glitter is so pretty! I want to try Whimsical over China Glaze Re-fresh Mint as well. Thanks for reading!!

NOTD Orly Royal Velvet AKA Mysterious Curse

Hi everyone! Well, even though the weekend was nice and sunny, it's back to raining and clouds here. I decided to wear another dark color so I chose Orly Royal Velvet which is also an exact dupe of Orly Mysterious Curse from the new Dark Shadows collection. I almost bought Mysterious Curse and as I was looking at it I was like "I have this already!" I wish companies wouldn't do that, especially since Royal Velvet isn't even old. Anyway, Royal Velvet/Mysterious Curse is a juicy blue/purple duochrome. The formula is a little sheer and drags so I used three coats. I really love it!

So pretty!! It's gorgeous on it's own but added one coat of Nicole by OPI On Top of my World which is a pretty blue micro glitter in a milky base. This just added a subtle pop!

I love this combo!! It's so blue and purpley and sparkly!! The pics do not do this combo any justice! So if you haven't picked up Orly Royal Velvet, I highly recommend picking up Orly Mysterious curse! Amazing color!! What do you think?

NOTD Zoya Wednesday with China Glaze Optical Illusion

Hello lovlies! I hope everyone is having a great weekend and I want to wish all the moms out there a very happy Mother's Day!! Yesterday I wanted to use some stamping for a design but nothing was coming out right. Then I tried to do a water marble and the colors I used were just not working! I was so frustrated! I decided to do a gradient design. First I put on Zoya Wednesday from the Beach collection summer 2012. I love aqua colors like this! I never ger tired of them! This cream had a pretty thick consistency but it went on pretty easy and it was opaque in two coats. Here's Wednesday by itself:

Then I added China Glaze Optical Illusion from the Prismatic collection as a gradient design using a piece of a sponge. I'm very happy with the result!

This is so much prettier and sparklier in person! The prismatic collection is awesome for gradient designs!Happy Mother's Day and Thanks for reading!!

NOTD OPI Just Spotted the Lizard

Hello everyone!! I finally got a chance to post this NOTD which I am in love with!! This past weekend I went to my local salon at the mall and they had a full display of the new Amazing Spiderman OPI collection! I picked up three colors including Just Spotted the Lizard which is supposedly a dupe for Chanel Peridot. Peridot is hot like fire but cost like $25 a bottle! I had to put on Just Spotted the Lizard right away! In the bottle it is a beautiful blue/green duochrome. On the nail it's more like a green/gold duochrome with hints of blue. Very difficult to photograph it's true color but it's gorgeous on the nail! I even got a pedicure and put it on my toes!! The formula is a little thin and streaky so I needed three coats for it to be even and opaque.

I love this color!! It's so pretty and it's even more gorgeous in person! I love duochromes because they look different at every angle and in different light all the time! What do you think of duochromes? Thanks for reading!!

NOTD Sephora by OPI What's Your Sign?

Hi everyone! Well according to the news, today was supposed to be sunny and nice here. Turns out that today is cloudy, cold, muggy, and craptacular! I put on a bright summery color hoping I could get great pics of it in the sun and no. Anyway, I decided to try Sephora by OPI What's Your Sign? from the Brights Spring 2012 collection. This is a fun, shimmery orange that reminds me of a creamsicle. It's very pretty and summery. The formula was a little sheer and a bit streaky so I needed three coats and some patience. I decided to add OPI Save Me from the Nicki Minaj collection on my accent nail which would have looked amazing in the sun!

A close up to show the pretty shimmer!

I really like this color, I can't wait to try it on my toes!
Have a good weekend and happy cinco de Mayo! Thanks for reading!

NOTD Zoya Jem

So for this NOTD I was originally going to wear something bright and summery like Zoya Kimber, but since I haven't seen the sun in 5 days and it's been cloudy, cold, and raining every day... I decided to go with a darker color. Zoya Jem is from the Zoya Smoke and Mirrors collection from fall 2011. Jem is a gorgeous rich, dark purple with gold shimmer. In some light it looks brown too. Great formula too! No problems and opaque in two coats.

Here's a close up of Jem to show the gold micro shimmer:

I finally started playing with some photo editing software so I will be trying new things with my pictures and I have to watermark my pics now because I found my pics on a foreign website with no link or credit to me which pisses me off! Anyway, Jem is really pretty and I love that it's named Jem like my favorite cartoon Jem!! Truly outrageous! Thanks for reading!
