Twinsie Tuesday Oldest Untried Polish

Hiya peeps,

 

For Twinsie Tuesday this week we are finally getting to use that dusty old 'untried' polish at the back of our drawers.  I'm pretty good about swatching all the polishes I buy right away, but every once in a while, one of them gets shoved to the back of the shelf and forgotten.. Which is what happened in the case of Nicole OPI My Empire...My Rules.

 

My Empire...My Rules is a brown cream.  In the bottle it looks like it might have grey undertones, but against my skin, there were definate green undertones.  Formula was fantastic, two thin coats for even coverage.

OPI My Private Jet

Is it silly that I bought OPI My Private Jet because I saw Kim Kardashian buy it on Keeping Up With the Kardashians?  Yes it is.  I was in Chatters the other day and I didn't even know what MPJ looked like, so when I saw how gorgeous it is, I grabbed it.  Kim has good taste.

 

 

I guess there are two versions of MPJ, and I have the second version.  The older one was a linear holo I believe.  I am so in love with this version though!  The little tiny flecks that look silver in my photos are holographic, so in certain lights they shine and dance.  The polish is definately brown, but I find it looks black under most artificial light.

 

The formula was amazing, a one coater!  Went on as smooth as butter, and dried super quick.  I've been wearing it for 4 days now and not one single chip, just a little tip wear. 

 Do you have MPJ?  New or old version?

Twinsie Tuesday Ombre Nails

Twinsie Tuesday Playas!!

This week we are rocking "Ombre" nails.  I see so many things wrong with my choice of colors, but I was really in the mood for browns/greys and my selection isn't huge. 

On my ring finger I have on OPI Over the Taupe.  On my middle finger I have a NYC, but I can't find the name of it.  Anyone happen to recognize?  Ring finger is OPI Did you 'ear about Van Gogh.  And pinky is OPI Skull and Glossbones.  

Check out the rest of the Twinsie Tuesday girls to see what their Ombre manis look like!

OPI Vampsterdam, Holland Collection

I have OPI Vampsterdam from the Holland Collection to show you today.  Nory sent me this and I loooove it.  The formula was great, 2 easy coats.  It has a bit of a metallic feel, so there are a few brush strokes visible.  I wore this for 4 days, and didn't have one single chip!  A little tip wear, but that was it.  I love OPI's for that.

This burgundy brown has a look of shimmer to it, when you look close up at the bottle you see streaks of the tinest silver shimmer I've ever seen, looks like silver dust.  So pretty.

Do you have any colors from the Holland collection?





Essie As Gold as it Gets

As Gold as it Gets is the other polish I bought the other day from the Luxeffects collection.  I wanted the 2 flakies the most.

I layered this over OPI Over the Taupe, which was a prezzie I got at Christmas.
