OPI Hot & Spicy Swatch and Review

 I have been looking for the perfect shade or orange/coral for 15 years!  I kid you not! I found this gorgeous OPI polish in Winners the other day and it is pretty much perfect. 

Hot & Spicy is from the OPI Hong Kong Collection which was from 2010, how crazy is that! It's the perfect orange/coral and I'm in love.  The search is over!  My camera makes it look a little darker than it actually is. Oranges and corals are hard to capture.

OPI Lunch at the Delhi

I have an oldie but a goodie to show you today!  Lunch at the Delhi is from the OPI  India Collection for Spring 2008.  It's actually kinda hard to describe this color, like a rich, dusty, coral cream.  So lovely!

I have no idea how hard it is to find this polish, I was lucky enough to have it gifted to me from my bestie!  She is bestiest!

Have a great day lovelies!

Color Club East Austin

Hiya Dolls

 

Ok I am utterly in love with East Austin from the Color Club Girl About Town Collection.  This is a gorgeous fluorescent CORAL!  This polish is so fabulously bright but not in an obnoxious way.

 

 

Formula was great but I did need 3 coats (it is a 'coral' afterall!).

 

I have 3 other polishes from the Girl About Town Collection that I will show you in another post.  Has anyone picked up any shades from this fab collection?

 

 



Clinique Polish Swatches and Review

Hi Dolls

 

I've got some more Clinique polishes to share with you today!  Some of them are from the permanent polish line and some are limited edition Summer shades.

 

First up is Summer In The City from the limited edition Summer line.  Summer In The City is a pink leaning coral crelly (cream/jelly hybrid).

 

Next is Hi Sweetie from the permanent line. Hi Sweetie is a deep pink crelly. This would be a great polish for jelly sandwiches!

 



Juiced Up is a fabulous orange jelly from the Limited Edition line.  This is such a fun Summer shade.



Indie Rock is a metallic burgundy brown polish from the permanent line.  I know I will be wearing this a lot in the Fall months.



Call My Buff is a beautiful white jelly.  This is 3 thick coats, so you can see that it is a very sheer polish.  Again this would be perfect for layering a glitter jelly sandwich.



 

Last but not least is Splish Splash from the Summer collection.  Splish Splash is a bright blue with a crelly finish.  This would be perfect for a day at the beach!

 

 

 

Which one is your favorite?

Summer Mani

Hey Dolls

 

I've got a fun Summer mani for you today!  I love spicing up a pretty cream with an accent nail, and I'm also loving the multi-color mani's too, so today you get both!

 

That beautiful coral is China Glaze Surreal Appeal. The white is OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls (which is my favorite white ever!) and the glitter accent is OPI Bring On The Bling.  I love these colors together.

 

 





Twinsie Tuesday, Marching Orders

This week for Twinsie Tuesday, we were given a challenge from another Twinsie member.  My challenge comes from Rachel of Top Coat It  She suggested that I challenge myself and try something that is out of my comfort zone.  So for me that would be nail art (which is funny because Rachel is always rocking some amazing nail art!)

 

I've wanted to try a chevron look for a long time, so this was my opportunity to be forced to give it a go! 

 

I used China Glaze Surreal Appeal for my base coat.  I love this pinky-coral cream.  And I used a gold nail art polish given to me by the lovely Amanda from Amandalandish  I cute some washi tape using some small chevron patterned scissors and taped off the area I wanted to be gold.  Really wishing that I had made the gold area bigger now, but oh well, there is always next time ;)

 

 

 

Be sure to visit the other Twinsie's!

Skittles Mani, Twinsie Tuesday

Hey hey heeey!

Twinsie Tuesday is here again and we are rocking a skittle mani this week.  I played around with a few different polishes and didn't love the result.  So I ended up with this:

On my index finger I'm wearing Revlon Valentine, it's a lovely red jelly that builds opacity quickly, this is 2 coats.  On my middle finger I'm wearing Revlon Cherries in the Snow, a beautiful reddish/pink creme, 2 coats.  On my ring finger, I'm wearing Revlon Coral Me Wild, a gorgeous coral creme, 2 coats.  And lastly, on my pinky I'm wearing Essie Secret Story, which is pink jelly perfection in my opinion!

I can't wait to see what the other ladies are wearing this week, I love skittle manis.
