Slushied from Sephora by OPI

        Hey! Today's nail polish is Slushied by OPI, which is a beautiful blue color! It is a color from the Sephora by OPI Glee 6 Piece Mini Kit. You can get it in a full bottle though, but it may not be available in stores any more. I really like the color, but the finish is not the best. You definetly need a top coat. As usuall I used Sally Hansen Double Duty Strengthening Base & Top Coat as a base coat and then Colorstay Revlon Always on Sealant as a top coat. Well thats all for now!

Splatter Paint Nails



Hey everyone! JUst did a manicure a day or 2 ago and it is my attempt at splatter paint. I didn't do it that well, but I got the idea from the blog, thepolishaholic. I give all credit to her. The link is http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2011/06/neon-splatter-mani-tutorial.html. I did do my own spin on it with the colors. For a base i used Sally Hansen Double Duty Strengthening Base & Top Coat and then I used a really old miny white OPI polish from an old halloween set as the main color. Then I used Limelight from Funky Fingers (lime green). I also used Bizerk Turq from Funky Fingers (blueish color).Then I used a dark purple polish from Delia's. These three colors where the splatters. I used Colorstay Revlon Always on Sealant as a top coat. This is not the best manicure becouse the splatters did not come out the best, but I think its still pretty cool! Hope you enjoyed! p.s. I think I'm getting better at taking the pictures!

Sephora by OPI Caliente Coral


       Hey everyone! Today's nail color is Caliente Coral, which is in the Havana Nights collection from Sephora by OPI. I know these colors came out awhile ago, but I think you can still get them some places. I have the Havana Nights Mini Collection and it has some really nice colors. The only thing with the minis is that the brush is small so I feel like I can't put it on my nail as well as a full size and I am half way out of Caliente Coral. In the picture above I used Sally Hansen Double Duty Strengthening Base & Top Coat for my base and an old bottle of Colorstay Revlon Always on Sealant as a top coat. These two are o.k., but I really want to try the CND Stickey Base Coat and the Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat. I have two coats of Caliente Coral on. I know these pictures are not the best becouse there blurry and all, but I'm still trying to figure out how to do thia well. But I do think it shows the color o.k. In real life it is a little darker though. Right now I am really loving orange nails! Since this color is running out I'm thinking about getting Essie Meet Me At Sunlight or Essie Braziliant. Well thats all for today, see ya soon!
