Nicole by OPI Fairy Fairy Quite Contrary with Krafty Gurl Spice Gurl

Hey guys!

Wow, that's a mouthful for a title, eh? 

NOPI's Fairy Fairy Quite Contrary is from the I Think Tink collection, which I spotted at Walgreens. I love oranges like this so this was the only color I picked up from that collection. 

2 coats, no top coat. Excuse the ridges in my nails. Gross! 

Then I added one coat of Krafty Gurl Spice Gurl, a mixture of orange and pink matter glitter.

Talk to you soon!

OPI From A To Zurich and Glitter Nails!

Hey guys!

This is OPI From A To Zurich, a gorgeous wine colored creme. I used 3 thin coats here. 

 I added White Owl Lacquer A Little Danger to the middle and ring fingers. Full of gold, pink, and red glitters... and CIRCLE GLITTER!

Thennnnn I added Nicole by OPI Pick of the Glitter to the index and pinky finger. I found this guy at Target, and I've not really seen any swatches of it anywhere... but I also haven't looked for any. It's full of gold and turquoise hex glitter.

What do you think of these glitter babies??

Nicole by OPI My Jay Or The Highway with Confetti Fun

Hey Guys!

Today is supposed to be Pinterest Inspiration day but I am losing my mind and forgetful as all get out lately so... whoops. I think I'm losing a little bit of my blogging mojo...I have loads of pictures to edit and upload, but I'm having a hard time finding the motivation. So stick with me, ya'll! 

If you hadn't noticed, I'm on a Show You Two Polishes for the Price of One kick lately and it continues today.

I grabbed NOPI My Jay Or The Highway from the Modern Family collection since I have almost zero nude/neutral polishes like this.

It had a decent formula, no streaking or dragging. This was two coats. 

Then I added one coat of Confetti Fun from the Selena Gomez NOPI collection. Ummm, yeah. I needed this like I need a hole in the head but come on, I'm not going to say no to glitter, much less RAINBOW glitter! AND THERE IS THE BEST SHIMMER IN THERE! So yes, I needed it. Don't judge me.

NOPI Alex By The Books with Jindie Nails Swoon

Hey Guys!

Don't forget to check out what Amanda and Sarah are posting! I can't believe that March is almost over. Crazy!!

Alex by the Books is a light turquoise creme polish from the NOPI Modern Family collection. While it's not a terribly unique color, it's so pretty and lovely for spring. I need spring!

This was two coats, no top coat. While I loathe the NOPI bottle, I have to say, their formula's are consistently solid. I almost never have any issues with NOPI's! Whoot!

I added one coat(ish) of Jindie Nails Swoon. I did have to fish the giant glitter pieces out but I mean, it's kind of awesome, right? 

What do you think of the neon glitter trend that's happening in indies? Like it? Love it?

NOPI, Ruby Kisses, and W7

Hey Guys!

I used NOPI Sealed With A Kris, a beautiful deep red almost jelly. This was 3 coats. 

Then, I added one coat of Ruby Kisses Ruby Slippers. So so pretty! Smelly, but pretty!

Finally, I dabbed a W7 Gold glitter onto the ends of my nails. It's quite Christmas-y, right? I know, I know... it's March.

NOPI Selena Gomez Sweet Dreams with Am I Making Myself Claire?

Hey guys!

Yay Friday! Any plans? I've always got a few errands to run on the weekends but I will be eating lots this weekend, what with the Super Bowl and all. I honestly don't care at all about either team playing, and I'm sure I'll be watching the Puppy Bowl at some point but I do love lots of snacks :-)

I have some glitter to share with you today. I dabbed a coat of NOPI's Sweet Dreams from the Selena Gomez collection over Am I Making Myself Claire? from the Modern Family collection.

Sweet Dreams is a purple, teal, and silver glitter with hexes and purple microglitter. Since I didn't use a full coat and I dabbed it, it's kind of hard to say how the formula was but I know that I didn't have to do a lot of dabbing to get this amount of glitter on my nails.

Have a great weekend!

Nicole by OPI Others Pale By Kim-parison

Hey guys!

Today's post is very..... clean. If you've followed me for any period of time, you might have noticed that I don't use a lot of white/neutral colors. They look so great on others but they just bore me. I don't know why.

So, it looks a little weird to see such a clean manicure but even I have to admit... I kinda like it a bit.

Others Pale By Kim-parison is from the Kim Kardashian inspired Nicole by OPI collection. It's a pale jelly white, that allllmoost looks the tiniest bit pink. This was 3 coats.

 Weird, right? And yet kind of chic. Does this mean I will wear glitter-free manicures more often? Probably not. I'm an addict :-p

OPI German-icure by OPI with NOPI A Gold Winter's Knight

Hey guys!

Today's polish is brought to you by: Ulta! This is the second OPI Germany polish I own, German-icure by OPI.

German-icure by OPI is a brown red cream. It was actually perfectly lovely! It looked like it was glowing and warm and toasty and creamy all at the same time. That makes no sense at all, but I hope you get what I mean.

 MACRO!

I can't even believe that I'm typing this, but I have a Christmas polish to show you! The Kardashian's have released another collection in collaboration with Nicole by OPI, this time a Christmas themed collection of 6 polishes.

I'm showing 2 coats of A Gold Winter's Night over German-icure by OPI. This is a gold bar glitter with some blue bar glitter thrown in for good measure. 

 GLITTER MACRO!!

Whatcha think? I'm not the world's biggest fan of bar glitter but I appreciate it from time to time.

NOPI Nothing Kim-pares to You with Accent Nail

Hey guys! Ugh Monday. Gross. Let's look at nail polish to make it better!

Nicole by OPI's Nothing Kim-Pares To You is a polish from the Kim Kardashian themed collection, released this past spring/summer. I found a twin pack of NOPI's at TJ Maxx with this polish and another Kim polish. I had been looking for this color so it was a nice surprise to get two polishes so reasonably priced.

NKTY is a princess blue, almost periwinkle color with lots of glass flecky shimmer. This was 3 thin coats. You could still see a bit of VNL in these pictures but it wasn't very visible in real life.

I used Milani Jewel FX Red on my accent nail. I can't be sure, but I believe this was two coats of glitter.

*Fun Fact* If you image google "Milani Red" and don't specify nail polish, you will get a bunch of pictures of a scantily clad lady wearing almost nothing. Apparently her name is Milani. I did not know this.

What do you think of this combination? I thought I would like the blue and red together but I think the blue was a bit toooo blue. Maybe if it were more like Tiffany blue, it would look better with the red.

Nicole by OPI For Gold Times Sake

Hey guys! Who has big plans for the weekend? I will probably be doing what I've done all week: watching the Olympics! I will be glad to get some sleep when they are over, lol.

Today I have a NOPI Target exclusive!

For Gold Times Sake is a dark gold (I would call it bronze) polish with tiny tiny pieces of blue, yellow, and other colored glitters.


This was 3 coats.

Sparkle sparkle, little glitters! 

The formula was nice, no running or pooling or streaking. Now if only that darn bottle weren't so awkward...

Nicole by OPI Wear Something Spar-Kylie

Hey guys!

Those darn NOPI Kardashian Kolors.... I love them. My husband brought this home for me because they just started carrying the NOPI's at his job. GLITTER!!!

I used 2 coats, with 2 coats of top coat.... I should have used 3 coats. It was pretty gritty. But the polish covered very well in two coats so I was happy about that fact. 

The downside: both of the Kardashian glitters I have worn have chipped off in sheets after about a day.... umm, that's not cool. EXCEPT that glitter removal is such a pain, I don't entirely mind. I just wish it would last longer than a day!
