Nicole by OPI - Play Fair

Hey all :),

Tonight I have a very nice, lavender colour to share with you guys. It's from Nicole by OPI (a brand I personally love, despite all the haters out there!). This colour is very sheer, and took about four coats to get a nice opaque colour. Very pretty, and shimmery. I wear it when I need something nice and neutral, but still pretty.

natural light; 4 coats.


shade, no flash; 4 coats.

That's it for tonight :) I'm gone to R's house for the night tomorrow, so I won't get a chance to blog, but I have many more swatches lined up for you guys to see when I return!

Have a great night :)

LA Colors - Phenomena

Today, as I was outside doing some swatching of so many untried, the darn clouds crept up on my precious sun and hid it away! Darn. However, I did manage to get a few swatches done, for example LA Colors, Phenomena. It's a beautiful creme-y purple. This colour is gorgeous!

Gah, soo nice!

This is 3 coats, without top coat. I find without a top coat it has more of a satin-y finish, but I love it none the less. :)
Much more posts to come in the near future! Maybe no today, but definitely tomorrow :)

Thanks for looking :)

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Pacific Blue.

Another post, comin' right at ya! This here is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, Pacific Blue. I adore this colour. It's not too in your face, but it's not too subtle either. Perfection. I absolutely love the Xtreme Wear polishes. For one, they are very affordable, and two, they have a wide range of colours. The application of them is usually a little thick, but I can deal.

This here is two coats. You can see how it got a little thick, and didn't really even out even after a topcoat. Ahh, oh well. I still love this colour.

Outdoors, natural light.

The only thing I really, really don't like about Xtreme Wear is they don't put the name of the polish on the bottle itself. Instead, I have to head over to the Sally Hansen website and look it up. Annoying for the more lazier people, like myself. :)

Thanks for looking!

OPI - Meet On The Star Ferry.

Hey bloggers! Today I have a very big lemming of mine to show you. OPI's, Meet Me On The Star Ferry. The moment I saw this colour swatched by other bloggers, I had to have it. Unfortunately, I live in a very small town that gets limited choices when collections come out. So, I had to wait, and wait, and wait until finally, I went away to Toronto and found it!

The application on this was perfect, and only needed two colours. I love love LOVE the way the sun catches it. Gahh, I love this colour!


This here was outdoors (on my boyfriend's porch, haha). Two coats, and a whole lot of awesomeness. :)



This is indoors, right by my screen door. I was too lazy to go outside, but I'm glad I didn't! I like how this picture turned out. :)
That's all for now. I did ALOT of swatches over the past couple days, so except to see some new posts very soon! Sorry for the long break, but it's not all bad because I got some more excellent polishes to show you guys!

Thanks for looking :)

What's With the Cattitude..Franken dupe?!

The other day I was browsing new blogs when I came across a fantastic one, Elle Hearts Blogs. Not only is she hosting an amazing giveaway, but she really seems to know what's in atm. So, what does she say is "in" at the moment? Pale sky blue hues, for example, "What's With the Cattitude?" Perfect! Only.. one problem, I only bought the mini's from the Shrek Forever After Collection, minus Funky Dunkey. And, my What's With the Cattitude? is dead. Nothing left, thick, doesn't even go on the nail. So, I either buy a new one, spending my precious money.. or create a dupe! Boy, how easy that was! I had two old bottles of polish, a white Wet n' Wild one, and a blue NYC colour I had lying around for ages. A few (thousand) drops later, and voila! Almost a near perfect dupe! These pics aren't that great, and honestly I couldn't even get ONE coat of WWTC to do a comparison, so I'm using a picture from an old post. :)

This is my dupe for WWTC? Love it!

WWTC? looks more bright blue in this pic, but honestly, they are soo much alike! I'm so happy with how it turned out.
Also, on an even better note, I have so many new polishes to show you! Some polishes including the new SWISS collection from OPI, a lemming of mine, LA Colors, a few Sally Hansens, and more!
However, you won't be seeing them until next week because it's my birthday weekend!

Have a great weekend, everyone :)
