OPI Muppets Most Wanted Collection Swatches and Review...

Hi Everyone! Today I have for you my swatches and review of the OPI Muppets Most Wanted collection. The collection was inspired by the Disney film with the same name which released a few months ago. Although I have not seen the movie and when I think of The Muppets, I picture brighter shades than this collection contains, I have to say I love these lighter shades!

Polished by KPT Color Me Purple...

Hi Everyone! Today I would like to show you this beautiful Polished by KPT thermal lacquer named Color Me Purple. I can't seem to get enough of this gorgeous shade. As you'll see below, I took way too many photos of this beauty, including some *gasp* outside while I visited my parents yesterday. The blooming lilacs made the perfect compliment to this floral shade...

31DC2013 Day 14 - Flowers

Today I have for you a floral manicure for Day 14 of the 31 Day Nail Challenge. I have had this manicure in head ever since reviewing the OPI Euro Centrale collection, although I didn't get a chance to try it at that time. It has been begging to be brought to reality ever since and I'm so excited to finally be 'forced'/ have an excuse to try it thanks to this challenge...

31DC2013 Day 9 - Rainbow

Today I would like to show you a manicure that I spent half the night working on right before taking off on vacation. This is actually what I'm wearing right now and thinking that one week of looking at it might not be enough! I don't ever want to take it off. This is my manicure for Day 6 of the 31 Day Nail Challenge the theme for which is rainbow....

31DC2013 Day 6 - Violet

It is time for Day 6 of the 31 Day Nail Art Challege and the theme today is a violet manicure. I just had to play with my most recent favorite PixieDust violet, Zoya Carter. It seemed to be just the type of color that pretty little gold dragonflies would be drawn too...

Zoya Lovely Collection

The Zoya Lovely collection for Spring 2013 is just what it claims to be, lovely! The beautiful pastels are ready to put you in a Spring mood and make me think of Easter candy. The collection contains three shimmers which Zoya classifies as metallic and three sweet pastel creams. I present to you my swatches...

Nicole by OPI Target Exclusive for Fall

Nicole by OPI has released five new Target exclusive shades for this fall lineup that really knocked my socks off. Two beautiful duochromes and three fleck filled complex shimmer shades. Any polish that makes me stare at my nails as it changes colors or sparkles in the different light is a winner in my book. These all certainly had me taking a closer look, especially the fleck filled ones...

Rimmel London Wild Orchid with Holo

My boyfriend and I spent an expended weekend out of town with some close friends. It was great to get away and just relax for a bit after a hectic June. The weather was decent, but certainly not the sunshine that I was hoping for. Even the drizzling rain didn't stop us from enjoying the beach and I even found pretty shells that matched the manicure...

Day 29 - Inspired by the Supernatural

Quite honestly I wasn't feeling very inspired by the supernatural for today's challenge. There are lots of ways this could have gone, but I was not in the mood for anything loud and crazy so I decided to keep it simple. Plus, I wanted something that I would be able to wear in public :). I chose to do another take on galaxy nails and throw in a few UFOs for the supernatural effect. Yes, those little silver blips at the top of the nails and one that landed on the tip of my index finger are supposed to be UFOs.

It may not be the best take on the challenge, but I do like the manicure and I hope you do to...

The polishes used for this manicure:
- Borghese - Mezzanotte Blue (base)
- LA Colors - No name metallic blue
- Rimmel - Violet Metal
- Essie - Braziliant
- Wet 'n Wild - Silvivor

I'd love to know what you think. Are you sick of galaxy nails yet or still loving them?

Thanks for looking!
Anutka :)

Day 6 - Violet - Rimmel London Violet Metal

We now return to your regularly scheduled programing, which happens to be day 6 of the challenge. For this I chose Rimmel London Violet Metal. It is a dark violet with a gorgeous blue shimmer that you can't miss. Unlike the shimmers that are only seen in the bottle, this one pops right off the nail and sometimes even overpowers the violet itself. The formula and application were easy to work with. The double wide brush suits my nails very well.

This is two coats plus a top coat...
