OPI "Rose Petals" (A.K.A. my new obsession)

Starting the week (on a Wednesday) with my completely underwhelming new curiosity in the nail polish world: MANNEQUIN HANDS! I don’t know why (possibly it’s the winter blah’s, evidenced by my disintegration into jeans and t-shirts every day.) but the idea of long, monochrome fingers is really appealing to me right now. I just ordered OPI’s “San Tan-Tonio” from the new Texas Collection, which seems like a darker mannequin hands variation. But this OPI, “Rose Petals” is a weenie to put on, sheer and thick and weird, but looks so puuuuuuuurdy.

It’s a beautiful nudey pink,  that gives me major mannequin hands.

Which would generally be a bad thing, but considering the situation of my life right now is NOT A BAD THING AT ALL.

I do def have some VNL, and it is super duper prone to bald spots.

I think that this was originally my mother’s. I may have stolen it from her.

Okay, on to the pictures of this tan with pink notes jelly:

Have a happy Hump Day!

Zoya "Crystal" (A.K.A. sparklies for my flu brain)

So I’ve been struggling with the flu and also spending a whole lot of time staring out the window at the amazingly large mount of snow that is POURING DOWN FROM THE SKY!!! As a California girl snow is a new idea for me! I love it. So I got some nice icy nails for you guys! This is Zoya “Crystal” If you’ve been reading with any sort of regularity, you’ll know that Zoya is my favorite brand. I JUST LIKE THEIR SOUL, haha. And they’re three free, so I don’t have to feel bad about my passion. Zoya “Crystal” is a silvery ice blue oil with gold and silver bits, that occasionally flashes dark blue when the light isn't directly on it. It reminds me of a much paler and foil-er version of OPI “Absolutely Alice.” Either way, it looks like you should be doing ballet in the light flurrying snow. I have to say, besides my love for it, it’s not all that pleasing. I wore it for maybe half a day, because it was too cool of a color for me. It made me little cold every time I looked at it, even though it was very very beauty-full.





Love,

Frida

Franken "Royal Flush"

I have been on a Franken streak! This was really my first one, just a little bit off polish color changing, and then glitter. It makes me feel like a queen. In its natural state its matte, but with a topcoat, it’s pretty too. Sorry for the terrible picture with the topcoat, my boyfriend was knocking at the door, rushing me to go gorge myself on pizza.

Here’s some matte photos:





Here it is nice and shiny (and nice and blurry :(  )





My favorite thing about this polish is that the gold glitter layers so prettily!

 

Have a good weekend!

Love,

Frida

Franken "Sugar Plum Berry"

Sorry that I  haven’t posted anything in a while, somehow I got locked out of my account. To make up for it (and because its so much fun!) this is going to be me showing off my first ever Franken! I have two others (one that I am wearing right now, and makes me feel like queen (not like a drag queen) (although I wouldn’t mind looking like a drag queen every once in a while…) ) but this is the first, and therefore the dearest to my heart. One of my friends helped me name it, so my I introduce:

(drum roll please!)

SUGAR PLUM BERRY



It’s a dusty purple with silver and gold shimmer all throughout it. It has a strong gold shimmer immediately (because they are the bigger particles) but the silver and purple is a good backdrop.





I basically love it, and am super proud of myself!
