OPI Suzi Without A Paddle At first glance I thought OPI Suzi Without A Paddle from the newly released Fiji for Spring collection might be a dupe for Gelato On My Mind, but it's not. The colors are very similar but Suzi is definitely a brighter pastel blue. I was really hopping that Suzi Without A Paddle would have a better formula as well because Gelato was a bit disappointing. The first coat was somewhat streaky but the formula had a decent consistency so I was not worried a

OPI Two-timing the Zones I thought that Two-timing the Zones was a bright, happy spring pink from the new OPI Fiji for Spring collection and that it would be a fun one. I really love these vibrant shades of pink partly because it looks fabulous on just about every complexion. One of the reasons I chose Two-timing the Zones is because I thought OPI would probably slay this one. I mean they have been making nail polish since 1989... OK so it's not as long as I was originally e

OPI Gelato On My Mind I love the minty shades and was really looking forward to wearing OPI Gelato On My Mind. A soft minty blue that I thought would be light and fun. I found the first coat disappointing because it was streaky. The consistency of the formula is fairly thin but not watery so application was easy enough. Even after the second coat I found I was not very happy about the opacity so I added a third layer. At that point everything finally evened out and I was hap

OPI Number One Nemesis I chose OPI Number One Nemesis for today's manicure because it felt right for a Monday. The name just felt right. Is there anyone else besides myself who feels that weekends need to be longer? I know, I know. Everyone. A murky golden grayish green that has an incredible shimmer. I could see green, gold, silver, grey and even a hint of blue in the shimmer. The formula was easy to work with but a little bit on the thin side. I had no issues with flooding

OPI Stay The Night OPI Stay The Night was from a Mariah Carey collection that was released in 2013. It was love at first sight! It's from the Liquid Sand line so it is textured. A black base with pink glitter that dries matte. Even once it is dry the pink glitter keeps on twinkling. It's an absolutely awesome looking polish especially around Halloween. The formula is a touch sheer so I apply three coats for opacity.When I work with a textured polish I give it about 15 minutes

OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls I started out tonight with one of my go to base colors when it comes to playing around, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. At first glance you may mistake this creme polish for a white but it is a very light grey. The formula is a touch on the runny side but since it levels fabulously you should not have any issues with it. The biggest problem you may have is finding it. It was released in 2012 as part of The Amazing Spider-man Collection and has bec

OPI It's A Piazza Cake I would never call persimmon my favorite color... ever! I will however try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure. That's what happened here. I did not choose this color of my own accord. OPI It's A Piazza Cake caught Mr. Nailvanna's attention and since he is very supportive about my little nail polish habit the least I can do is play nice. Even if I had to grit my teeth. I found the formula to be very good. OPI has creating creme

OPI Worth A Pretty Penne Last Fall OPI released the 2015 Venice Collection. I picked up Worth A Pretty Penne along with a few others and I have played with them on a few occasions. The fist time I wore Worth A Pretty Penne I was pleasantly surprised by this rosy copper. Usually copper gives my hand a bit of a red tint but this one has just the right amount of pink to offset that. I applied two coats but you can get away with one if you apply it a little bit thicker. Just re

OPI Can't Hear Myself Pink! It feels like it's been a while since I reached for a pink polish and I'm definitely in the mood for it. OPI Can't Hear Myself Pink! looks full of shimmer with a golden tone in the bottle that I hoped would translate to my nails. I love wearing nail polish with depth. The formula is a bit thin but overall it has a great consistency that's very smooth and easy to control. The first coat went on pretty sheer, and I realized right away this may take a

Base coat is such an important but frequently overlooked part of the manicure. After yesterdays little fiasco with blue nails I decided it was time for this post.I have played around with many, but I am very loyal to my favorites. My nails are pretty average if anything, on the weak side. Even though I know better I just about never wear gloves when doing the dishes or cleaning. I am a fiend about moisturizing though and planning on posting in the future about moisturizers a
