Nicole by OPI Nautical Doodle

Hi Everyone! I must confess that I'm a pretty bad swatcher. Whenever I swatch a collection, I get sidetracked and start dreaming up nail art ideas. I make no apologies though since I love bringing such spur of the moment ideas to life. This is one of the manicures that I created while swatching the new Nicole by OPI 2014 shades which I showed you yesterday...

Press Release: Muppets Most Wanted by OPI

Show-Stopping Shades!

OPI Celebrates the Muppets with Limited Edition Nail Lacquers Inspired 

by Disney’s New Film Muppets Most Wanted

OPI announces the launch of eight new limited edition nail lacquers inspired by Disney’s Muppets Most Wanted. With an all-star cast including Kermit the Frog, Constantine, Ricky Gervais, Miss Piggy, Ty Burrell, Tina Fey and the whole Muppet gang, this family comedy is directed by James Bobin and written by Bobin and Nicholas Stoller. Muppets Most Wanted opens in theaters on March 21, 2014.

“The Muppets are a fun-loving, colorful cast of characters. These eight new nail lacquers were inspired by their latest adventures in Disney’s Muppets Most Wanted, which include a glamorous international stage tour – and lots of surprises,” explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Co-Founder & Executive VP. “Fashionable Miss Piggy is represented through soft pink, peach and pearlescent hues, as well as a frosty sapphire blue – Miss Piggy’s Big Number – to match her fabulous tour gown. The remaining four shades highlight the film’s unexpected elements and include a color-shifting mauve and three sparkle-packed lacquers – including my personal favorite Gaining Mole-mentum, a gold and rose chunky shredded glitter.”

Muppets Most Wanted by OPI includes the following shades:

Muppets World Tour

This white quartz with colorful sparkle is a global sensation.

Miss Piggy’s Big Number

Stand back… Miss Piggy’s on sapphire!

The film stars Tina Fey as Nadya, a feisty prison guard, and Ty Burrell as Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon. Disney’s “Muppets Most Wanted” is directed by James Bobin and produced by David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman. Bobin co-wrote the screenplay with Nicholas Stoller, who is also executive producer with John G. Scotti.

Nicole by OPI New Nail Lacquers for 2014 Swatches and Review

Today I have prepared for you swatches of the new 2014 Nicole by OPI nail lacquers! I'll leave my blabbing to a minimum because this post is very photo heavy. Consider yourself warned! Let me know what you think of these new shades!

El Corazon Shine of Jewels

Hi Everyone! Today I would like to show you nail art that I created recently while I was swatching an El Corazon beauty. Although I didn't have anything specific in mind when I started out, I was mesmerized (and I'll show you why) by a dragon featured on the bottle label. I picked a stamping design that reminded me of dragon scales and embellished from there...

Zoya Magical Pixie Abstract Nail Art

Hi Everyone! Today I would like to show you some abstract nail art that I created with the three Zoya Magical Pixie shades. I love how these colors look together and thought it would be fun to have them all in one manicure...

Zoya Magical Pixie Collection Swatches and Review

Hi there! Today I would like to share with you my swatches of the Zoya Magical Pixie collection. Similarly to previous PixieDust shades, these are matte textured beauties, however, unlike the PixieDust shades before them, they feature larger holographic glitter for even more magical sparkle. If you are like me and a fan of the textured trend, then these are an absolute treat...

Stamping Trick: Cleanup With Tape...

Hi There! Today's little trick/tutorial has been waiting to be posted since back in August of last year when I created this dotty trees manicure. I can't believe that I'm just now getting around to posting this. Shame on me! :)

I picked up this trick from a stamping group, Adventures in Stamping and thought I would pass it on to all of you. I pretty sure it was first posted by Beaching Nails who is the guru on all sorts of stamping tricks. I learn so much from her and encourage everyone to follow her. Be warned though, she will make you want every stamping plate ever made!

Now on to the trick...
