OPI Mani Ways to Help

I wasn't sure if I was even going to post this but I need a recomendation so here I am. This is 2 coats of OPI Mani Ways to Help over 2 coats of Essie Marshmallow. I picked this up because it reminded me of one of my all time favorites, Zoya Ginessa. The problem is Ginessa is opaque in 2 coats and MWTH is very sheer. So I figured I would layer it. So I grabbed Marshmallow, which I had never used and is it's own weird mess, and layered MWTH over it. I'm thinking that maybe the Essie just wasn't a bright enough white. I hated this mani so much and that makes me sad. I want to retry MWTH over a really stark white. So this is where I need your help. What's your favorite white polish that doesn't take a billion coats to be opaque and not streaky? Help me please!

See what I mean? It's like it was to dull or something. Sorry about the glitter around my nails that was left over from my previous mani :)

Misa Wishing on a Star

Today I have my one and only Misa polish. Wishing on a Star is black with loads of glitter. In the pictures it just looks like silver glitter but there are other colors in there too. There was a lack of sun so the other colors wouldn't come out to play. I absolutely love this polish. It went on in two super easy coats and was really easy to control. My husband walked by while I was putting it on and said "wow that's a really cool color". Usually the only way he notices my nails is if I stuff them in his face and make him look :)


Please excuse the dry skin around my nails, don't know what was happening there.

This is easily one of my favorite polishes now. Misa is kind of hard to come by around here. The only place I can find any is at my favorite little hole in the wall nail supply shop, but after seeing the swatches for their new Surreal Escape collection, I may have to pick up a few more.

Do you own any Misa? What are your favorites?

Orly Fowl Play

For your viewing pleasure today I have Orly Fowl Play. This color is outstanding! A deep wine color with flakies. I love it! I got a ton of compliments on this one. I think I'll just get right to the pictures on this one. Please excuse the tip wear. The day I put this on we had no sun so I waited to take pictures of it.





All this photos were taken in full sun (we don't really get anything other than full sun around here. Except for the day I put on Fowl Play).

What is your favorite polish from Orly's Birds of a Feather collection?

Something Special for Today

Hi Everyone,

Sorry about the radio silence for the last week or so. My son had early out from school all week and that really put a kink in my blogging plans. To make up for it I have something pretty cool today. A while back I won a giveaway from My Blue Lacquer. There were a couple frankens included in that. This is the first one I've tried so far. It is amazing! One of the easiest polishes to apply and control that I've ever used. The only downside is I won't get to wear it a ton because the bottle is little. I think I'll have to use it sparingly. The polish is a steel blue with some yummy, sparkly glitter in it. In most of the photos it's hard to see but I promise it's there.

So what do you think? I am totally in love! Have you ever made a franken? To be honest it scares me a little.
