I bought this polish, along with NYX Robotic, from Jen the PolishAholic's blogsale. She still has many great polishes left and everything is priced really well. Thanks Jen! Milani Totally 80's is from the Neon Collection. It's my first Milani polish, and I had no problems with it. I was actually very surprised to find it dried with a sheen to it, instead of...
I picked up OPI Significant Other Color the other day on sale at the school salon. It's a light pink with a very prominent greenish gold duochrome finish. Duochromes are always fun to look at, and Significant Other Color is no different. It started out very sheer, and took 3 coats to build up to opacity. I topped it off with 1 coat...
Color Club Revvvolution is amazing! It's the first holographic polish I've tried, and I love it. Plus it has an adorable name :) I don't want to take it off! The application was quite easy, especially considering holo polishes can be difficult to apply. It took only one coat for full coverage, which is pretty awesome. I'm not wearing any top coat today,...

OPI Conquistadorable Color was released in the Spain Collection, one of my favorite OPI collections. Lots of colors from that collection are still very popular, like Here Today...Aragon Tomorrow, Can You Tapas This?, No Spain No Gain, and Pamplona Purple. Conquistadorable Color is a blue-toned red. It's actually my favorite red crème. It applies beautifully and it goes well with my skin tone....
This is a mystery color that I borrowed from my friend Tiffany. We couldn't find any names on the bottle besides WE253. It's a turquoise-leaning blue metallic polish. The wear wasn't that great; I had tip wear after one day. But, I didn't wear top coat at all. This lacquer was very pretty on the nail. Please excuse the wear -- this picture...
Today I opted for a bright funky French. The weather cooled off today, so I wanted to brighten my spirits with this manicure. Here are the colors I used: Sinful Colors Dream On, Love & Beauty Charcoal Sinful Colors is one of my favorite drugstore brands. The application started of very streaky and sparse, but after 3 moderate coats it looked great. Though...
Serena Williams and OPI teamed up to create nail polish collections that correspond to the Grand Slam tennis tournaments. The first pairing included Simply Smash-ing, a gorgeous green-gold, and the now-famous Black Shatter. Here's the first duo of the collaboration. Now, as the French Open nears, OPI has begun to advertise the France Edition of the Glam Slam! Collection. I'm in love with...
Some of my favorite blogs have giveaways going on right now. I highly recommend entering, because they have some great prizes.

The prizes include MAC and NYX lipsticks and Korres polishes, plus she's letting you pick what colors you get. Also, look at the adorable...
I'm sure by now you're familiar with the entirety of the Katy Perry for OPI Collection. Last Friday Night was a color I was very excited about, but it just didn't give me the opacity I wanted. I was hoping for it to be more pigmented. Despite that, I absolutely LOVE the glitter particles it has. In order to give Last Friday Night...
Zoya has some new summer collections coming out: Sunshine, Summertime, and some new Mod Mattes. Sunshine is going to consist of six polishes that are "infused with a glowing golden metallic sparkle," according to Zoya's website. Summertime will be six cremes in "bold, luscious shades." The mattes should have the same finish as previous Zoya matte polishes, but the website offers no description. Check out the...
Orly is one of my favorite brands, but I don't have nearly enough of their polishes. Today in St. Louis, it's 74º and beautiful. I opted for a bright and cheery nail of the day. Orly Orange Sorbet applied nicely, like most Orly polishes do. It's a gorgeous orange with golden shimmer that looks great in the sun. All pictures are 3 coats...
Hey, everyone! I saw I've already been getting some views, so I thought I should say I plan on posting some swatches this coming week. I can't wait! I just bought a bunch of Golden Rose polishes. Golden Rose is a Turkish brand, and I'm excited to try one of my first international polish brands. Stay tuned, and for now here's a cute...
