Polish Change - OPI Woden Shoe Like To Know?

Here's with the flash

Without the flash



Woden Shoe Like To Know? is a chocolatey color that went on smoothly with two coats. It has gold shimmer through out it as well.

Polish Change - OPI Fly with Essie Shine of the Times

OPI Fly is from Nicki Minaj's collection and the color is too beautiful! Shine of the Times adds a little pop too it.

Polish Change - Essie's Going Incognito and OPI's Fresh Frog of Bel Air

I used Essie's Going Incognito as a base color and then used OPI's Fresh Frog of Bel Air on some random nails. Going Incognito took two coats before coming opaque and went on very smoothly. I used 2 coats of Fresh Frog, and for it being all glitter it was very easy to apply as well.

Polish Change - OPI Dutch Ya' Just Love OPI? with Dare To Wear La Rosa Romantica

Today I am wearing a new color from OPI's Holland line: Dutch Ya' Just Love OPI? with Dare To Wear's La Rosa Romantica.


The pictures aren't great quality but you get the picture! Dutch Ya' Just Love OPI? was very easy to work with and I needed two coats for it to become opaque. La Rosa Romantica was surprisingly just as easy to work with considering it was all glitter. It reminded me of all the colors you see during mardi-gras and I caught myself looking down at it all day!



This last picture was taken with out the flash which is why it looks a little less purple than the other pictures.

Polish Change - Essie's Smooth Sailing

First, here's how OPI's DS Temptation held up...it chipped after 2 days, but I'm still in love with it.


I used OPI's base coat, ORLY's SEC N' DRY and then OPI's Drip Dry


Here is the bottle of Essie's Smooth Sailing


After just one coat, it was pretty opaque, and with a second coat, it would be perfect.


Here it is with the second coat. I love it! It's a light corn flower blue with tiny silver glitter pieces floating in it. It was easy to apply and worked well. It also didn't chip!


This is one of my new favorite colors, though it came out a while ago!

Polish Change - OPI DS Temptation

This is the polish I had on before I switched to DS Temptation. It's the Franken Polish I made, this picture is after it's been on for like 3 days so it lasted pretty well.


And here is OPI's DS Temptation in all of it's glory!


Ok, so first it is so much more glittery in person! This polish is a blueish/purple base with multi colored tiny glitter pieces. This is part of OPI's Designer Series so you'll have to pay a little more than normal for it. I paid $12.50 for it and found it in JC Penney's hair salon which always has a really good selection of OPI surprisingly.



When I put the first coat on I seriously wanted to cry! I thought it was so ugly and sheer...




The second coat I started to feel a little better, still wasn't thrilled though.


And then BOOM it happened! With the third coat it all came together and I was so happy!

What I love about this polish: The color is very unique, I have over 100 bottles of nail polish and this one really sticks out to me. Though the first coat was ugly and make my nails look kinda dirty, after the third coat it was opaque. It was easy to apply, spreading pretty evenly. Also, this polish dried very fast!

What I dislike about this polish: It dries very gritty, you can feel the glitter and texture even after 2 coats of top coat. I'm also not a huge fan that I had to apply 3 coats of this polish because I've found that when you apply more than 2 coats the polish sometimes chips a little easier.

Overall, I'd give this polish a B+, I was a lot more excited about the color in the bottle than when it was on my nails.

Totally Obsessed With and Completely Over It!

I decided to do some of my current favorite products and then one that I'm not so happy with in this video.



Here's the picture of my 3 Totally Obsessed With items:


Bath and Body Works Dark Kiss Triple Moisture Body Cream, OPI's DS Temptation Nail polish and Maybelline's Baby Lips in Peppermint.

And for the Completely Over It product:


Crest 3D White Multi Care Whitening Rinse

My First Franken Polish

For those of you who don't know what Frankening is, it's basically when you make your own nail polish color. Some people do it from scratch using pigments, glitter, etc. Others just mix existing colors. For my first one I just mixed two existing colors I already had. This was my result: 
It kinda reminds me of funfetti cake! I used Essie's Marshmallow and OPI's Rainbow Connection from the Muppets Collection. I was inspired by Deborah Lippmanns Forget You and Candy Shop. I am so in love with all of her colors! They're all very unique. Sorry this picture isn't the best quality and the background is busy, I just took a quick picture of it when I was at my boyfriend's house.
