OPI "Crown Me Already!" (A.K.A. erryday im sparklin)

So… I know that I have said a billion times how much I hate silver. And… this isn’t everyone’s favorite polish, BUT. BUT. BUTTTTTTTTTTT this polish and I are having a secret love affair. Please don’t tell Zoya “Kelly” about my little tryst. This polish has half a billion different sizes of glitter in it, with these big circle ones, and smaller ones, and rather than looking disjointed, it looks amazing, and SO SPARKLY and SO SHINY and just breathtaking. Literally every time I look at my nails it changes my life a little bit. Basically, this polish made me turn away from my silver hatin’ ways. Here are the pictures! And oh yeah, before you ask? It was a rhymes with witch to remove.

have a wonderful monday!
Love,

OPI "Too Hot Pink to HOld 'Em" (A.K.A. and then some...)

This mani started out as just OPI “Too Hot Pink To Hold Them” (which is one of the Texas collection sorbets, and more red than pink.) but my nails are strangely colored as all get out, so I decided that they need some nice opacity. I added first, just little daggers in Orly “Pure Porcelain” at the bottoms, and then I did the top two areas, with “Pure Porcelain” and Zoya “Phoebe” which I will have swatches of alone soon. I feel like they look like a fourth of July themed abstract painting. What do y'all think?

Happy Thursday, Lovelies!

Silver Shatter! (A.K.A. my nailpolish brings all the boys to the yard.)

When you spend as much time as I do on your nails, a lot of women come up to you and compliment them. My fourth of july mani was OFF THE HOOK with compliments. And as an eternal narcissit (I feel like anyone who has a blog has to be at least a little bit.) I LOVE compliments! But its generally women. However, today when I wore this I had, not one, but TWO men come up to me and complimented my nails. SO EXCITING.
So, I guess silver shatter from OPI is a GO for me! Haha. But I wouldn’t have it at all if it wasn’t for the bestestest friend, who drove me to go buy it ☺. It’s over Zoya “Kelly” here. Enjoy!

love,
Frida

Late 4th Mani! (A.K.A. Accidental wonderwoman!)

Orly "Goth" (A.K.A. first sour, then sweet!)

Orly “Goth” was at first glance one of the most disappointing polishes I’d ever bought. It was murky, and BUMPY! OH MY LORD SO BUMPY! And the glitter isn’t very glittery at all, and it made me sad. There are two types of glitter in this polish, large-ish round silver dots, and tiny square silver bits. On closer examination (which was given to me because I had to rush out of the house and didn’t have time to remove it immediately, which is what I wanted to do.) I learned to love it a little.
-It doesn’t sparkle in the sun
-it’s obviously bumpy, even with seche
-its so black
but… its oddly pretty. And unique. And I sorta like it. Here are the pictures!

Love,

First Tape Mani!

This manicure reminded me of the Llamasqua quills ("Scorn" with metal talons, basically). It’s my first tape mani, so it’s not the most exact thing ever, but I like it. I feel like I am a violent Barbie. And it’s sorta awesome.
My base is Color Club “Vintage Couture” which is one of my favorite polishes. It’s a streaky mess, but if you stick with it after four-ish coats it gets apaque and beautiful. It’s such a STRONG pink. The neon is Color Club “Jackie Oh!” which I love as well. After I purchased it I realized that I also have Zoya “Ali” which is almost the exact same color. However, “Jackie Oh!” is actually more opaguw, wheeR “Ali” is more of a jelly. And “Jackie Oh!” is more pnik, to “Ali”’s orange leanings.
Tape was a lot harder than I thought it would be! Here are the pictures :

Orly "Retro Red" (A.K.A. little red corvette)

I love this nail polish! It’s Orly “Retro Red.” Sorry I didn’t show it to you guys in its natural form (matte-ish) where it looks like an amazingly beautiful inside of a 1950’s corvette. It’s so amazingly pretty and retro and slightly washed out. Washed out in a good way. It definitely has orangey undertones, but so pretty.
The polka dots are Orly “Pure Porcelain” so pretty. This is getting to be my new favorite nail polish. It’s understated, but not quiet. Its such a pretty color, and these two together make me feel like Minnie Mouse. I’m SORTA IN LOVE WITH IT!
Well, happy polka dots! Here are the pictures:

Love,
Frida
