OPI Princesses Rule!

Sad face. 4 of my 5 beautiful nails broke this weekend at work :( 4 of them still look good but my thumb nail practically got ripped off :( A tear happened past the free base of my nail line. It's going to take forever for it too look good again. 

Oh well life happens...

So guess who's painting nails and blogging instead of studying for a midterm on Tuesday...So I'm going to make this a short one.

Oh I'm going to apologize for how often I say so. I keep going back to old posts and taking them out. I can't believe how often I use it. I think it's because I'm in a whole bunch of math classes that are teaching how to do proofs and they keep telling us to use connecting words like so and therefore and such as etc. I think math is just leaking into my life...

darn it! haha :)

OPI Princesses Rule!

This is OPI's Princesses Rule! from their 2006 Princess Charming. It has now been moved to their core collection under Soft Shades. Its a very soft sparkly pink. Shown is 4 or 5 coats. It works great for wanting polish on but not some bright bold colour. My mom can't wear dark polishes at work so she loves this one because it's durable, its girly and its very light. This colour is a staple for any polish collection.
OPI says "A bright sparkly pink that's tiara worthy!"

So much for being short... oh well :)

Ardene Polishes

My Ardene Polishes. 

I have  a few of these since I always used to go there for polishes since the price was pretty good (and I hadn't really discovered the amazingness of Shoppers Drug Mart and their clearance table haha). One problem I have is that their brushes are really thin and round

 Ardene Ballet Shoes. I like this soft pink. The coats are a little streaky at first but a 3rd coat fixes it all.

Ardene Red Sapphire. It's a nice red but it's really thin. Shown is 4 coats. I need to find a nice deep red that doesn't need 50 million coats

Maybelline Polishes

My Maybelline Polishes. Their Colour Show collection has some beautiful colours

Maybelline Color Show Polka Dots, Pretty In Polka #85. This is from their new (and I may have seen limited time?) Polka Dot Collection. The bottle said to me buy me I am awesome and pink ;)  hehe I really like this one. It's sort of like glitter polish but instead of glitter, it has black and white hexagonal spots. What I have is 3 coats on but I think I may want 4 coats for a more opaque look. It creates an awesome looks and its instant design. The spots were just as much of a pain in the butt to remove as actual glitter in polish though. 

Maybelline Color Show Twilight Rays #240. So I was a bit disappointed when I got this, the bottle made it look really sparkly and stuff but wen I put it on it didn't have that same wow :( I got a better design by using black polish with lots of glitter over top (see the below picture)

Ardene's Tuxedo with Tivoli's glitter polish on top

Because of that I put it in my presents stash, and one of my best friends chose it for her birthday this year 

Maybelline Color Show Brocades Collection, Amethyst Couture. This one looked so amazing in the bottle I bought a blue and white/silver one as well but when I put it on I didn't like it nearly as much :( The bottle made it look very glittery and maybe even holographic. But it had some really chunky glitters that made it into almost a textured. Needles to say I was disappointed, into the present pile they go :)

Ombre

So my friend and I bought 2 Ombre sets by LA Girl 

One was Girls Night Out, A bright summer one

the other was Spring Fling, A blue one with glitter

Personally I like the Girls Night Out better since its brighter, the blue one is too...I don't know boring? But who knows maybe it looks better wearing it than on swatchicles. Anyways luckily my friend was the one who bought it not me :) So the kits came with a top coat as well. Girls Night Out came out as matte.

China Glaze

China Glaze

So where I live it's easier to find OPI than China Glaze so I have very few of these.

This beautiful, bright fushia is called Beach Cruise-r

This one I got at Christmas from my brother and when I asked him where he got it so I would know the store he said his girl friends he was shopping with shoved him into a store...SO I am still on the hunt.

When I went to use this one is was incredibly think, I'm not sure if he grabbed a bad one or if it's this colour or if it's China Glaze in general... :(

But I have now gotten some thinner and I am happy to say that it is now workable, And I know know where to find China Glaze

Avon Polishes

Avon

This is Flamingo by Avon. It's another soft pink color. It looks good under a black crackle.
