Flowers In Full Bloom...

I really enjoyed the 365 Days of Color In Full Bloom collection that I posted swatches of yesterday. I thought it would be fun create a manicure which somehow incorporated all of them. Since the collection is all about floral shades for spring, it only seemed fitting to paint some happy flowers on my nails...

365 Days of Color In Full Bloom Spring Collection

Hi Everone! Today I have for you swatches of the Spring collection by 365 Days of Color named In Full Bloom. The collection features sweet pastels with a subtle holographic shimmer and a glitter topper that looks fantastic over any of them! I always love the lighter colors of spring as they are the perfect break between dark winter shades and bright summer ones. This collection really just nails that spring feeling for me and the soft pastels are perfection...

Press Release: OPI Spotlight on Glitter

Endless Sparklebilities!

OPI Announces a NEW Line of Sparkling Shades with Spotlight on Glitter

Glitter takes center stage with the launch of Spotlight on Glitter, a new collection of OPI’s best and brightest sparkling lacquers. The line showcases OPI’s most popular metallic and holographic lacquers in rainbow, gold, silver and pink iridescent confetti; these glitters may be worn alone or layered over any nail color for a dazzling effect.

“Glitter isn’t just for wearing on New Year’s Eve! Just because the holidays are over doesn’t mean you can’t still wear sparkle,” explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Co-Founder & Executive VP. “Try creating an ombré effect or accent nails by adding a layer of sparkle for a fun night on the town.”

Spotlight on Glitter by OPI includes the following:

You Pink Too Much

I’m obsessed with this rosy glitter set in a shimmery base.

Desperately Seeking Sequins

This prismatic glitter on a backdrop of shimmer is just what you’re looking for.

Rose of Light

A million points of light radiate from this rosy gold and rainbow sparkle.

I Reached My Gold!

The cache of gold confetti in this clear rainbow glitter is all yours!

Chasing Rainbows

Your pursuit of gorgeous has won you this rainbow with pot-of-gold highlights.

Blush Hour

Sorry, gotta blush... this super dense fuchsia glitter is way too charming.

These can be used with Glitter Off -- a new, peel-able base coat that allows for quick and easy removal when applied beneath any glitter shade. To remove, use a cuticle stick to gently push and peel the glitter lacquer off the nail. No nail polish remover is necessary for this final step.


Spotlight on Glitter by OPI nail lacquers feature OPI’s exclusive ProWide™ Brush for the ultimate in application. These six glitter shades and Glitter Off will be available March 2014 at Professional Salons, including Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Chatters, Dillard’s, jcp Salons, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, ULTA and ulta.com for $9.00 ($10.95 CAN) suggested retail for each nail lacquer.

OPI Gwen Stefani Diamonds...

Hi Everyone! Today I would like to show you some nail art that I created while swatching the OPI Gwen Stefani collection. I wanted to play around with some of the studs which are a part of that collection and these matte square ones were my first pick...

Sunday Stamping and El Corazon Rainbow...

I decided to take part in this week's Sunday Stamping challenge in the group Adventures in Stamping partly as an excuse to play with my new CICI&SISI stamping plates and to show you this beautiful El Corazon lacquer. The theme for this challenge is to stamp using a plate whose number ends in 2, which left the manicure options wide open. I chose a relatively simple pattern to create this luxurious tufted look...
