I thought I’d try the first 4 random OPI blue polishes I grabbed from my OPI melmer! First one up is Cosmo with a Twist, from the Fall 2015 Starlight collection. A gorgeous dark purply blue with a shimmer! I love the shimmer in this polish! I did 2 easy coats of this, OPI shimmers… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- 4 OPI blues!
I picked a random Orly- from the 2007 Hot Stuff collection for Mainstream Mani Monday- Blue Collar.It’s quite a lovely blue! I did only 2 coats of this. Though I’m turning into a habitual 3 coater, I do stop at 2 when it’s obvious a polish doesn’t need it, lol. It was a super easy… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Orly Blue Collar
Sometimes you get a mainstream multichrome! Here’s China Glaze Pondering. The blue green shift is really pretty, and easy to see! I did 3 thin coats- not only am I a habitual 3 coater almost always, but I do find that multichrome polishes are usually on the thin side and you need 3 coats for… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Pondering
I don’t have a lot of Essie polishes, but I decided to pull this out to try, and it’s beautiful! It’s a periwinkle- like a deep periwinkle- cream polish with a really easy formula. I don’t know if I’m just getting better at polishing with cream polishes or I’ve just had good luck with creams… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Essie Pret a Surfer
I got this polish, Get Cherried Away, at Sally’s during a half off clearance sale. I’m still bitter that the Sally’s I liked by me closed. They had some good polish! LOL This polish is from the Coca-Cola collection they did in 2014! It’s a really pretty cream, like a purply magenta, inspired by Cherry… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI Get Cherried Away
I don’t have very many Orly polishes in my collection (My Nail Polish Rack app says I have 28), but I only have 2 Orly Colorblast polishes, and this is one of them, Warm Hugs (I’m assuming from Frozen, lol)- though I think this is a great summer color! It is a really really pretty… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday Orly Color Blast Warm Hugs
I wanted to try a Zoya and grabbed one randomly out of my Zoya drawer, and it was Journey! It’s a shimmery red/orange polish. The formula was divine! And the color- gorgeous! I did 3 coats. Zoya has lots of sales and promos (especially around Earth Day and Black Friday), and are consistently awesome. This… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Zoya Journey
Doesn’t OPI do hot pink well? Here is another gorgeous one- La-Paz-itively Hot. I can’t for the life of me (and a thorough Google search) figure out what collection it’s from! I did discover it’s from 2010ish- and there’s a shiny and a matte version. This is the shiny version. This was 3 coats, and… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI La-Paz-itively Hot
Pink pink pink!!! My favorite nail polish color! I consulted my nail polish rack app, and I have 345 polish classified as pink, 76 classified as magenta and 43 classified as fuchsia (and 10 berries, which could be pinks…..). Lots of pictures ahead! So I pulled out 4 random China Glaze pinks to try out,… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- 4 random China Glaze Pinks!
I finally wore a Butter London polish! This is Chimney Sweep, a charcoal black shimmery polish. The smears on the lid of the bottle are from my cuticle oil, lol. It was a good formula, easy to work with. This is 2 coats. I like the shimmer in this, too, and the charcoal color is… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Butter London Chimney Sweep
