So I broke another nail, so have shorter nails on my mani hand, so I was looking for some darker polish since I really like dark polish on shorter nails. I’d recently picked up Black to Reality from their Holiday 2018 Nutcracker and the Four Realms collection, so I thought I’d try that. It’s such… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI Black to Reality + comparisons!
This is a gorgeous light peachy pink jelly polish by OPI, called Heart Throb. I don’t know when it came out, but a Google search shows references to it in 2011. I did 3 coats, but it’s so easy to work with! It was a little patchy on the first couple coats, but that third… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI Heart Throb
This polish was from the 2014 Gwen Stefani collection. It’s a really pretty purple polish. I actually found this randomly at a Dollar Tree, so that was awesome! This is a great blue leaning purple (blurple). The formula was great. It’s a scary cream, lol, but I didn’t have any issues and thought it looked… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI I Carol About You
I made it a goal this past year to try more drugstore/mainstream nail polish, and there were some I really really liked! First, let’s go with one I tried later in the year but that I love – Zoya Verushka. It’s a satin emerald green and it’s gorgeous! Next up is China Glaze I got… Read More 2018 End of the Year Wrap Up- Hot Trends and my favorite polishes of the year! Part 1- Mainstream Polish!
This is polish was from OPI’s Hawaii collection for spring/summer 2015. It’s called This Color’s Making Waves. It’s a really pretty polish! It’s a multi-chrome polish, and has that thin multi-chrome formula, so I did 3 coats. It was a really easy formula to work with, not too thin so it floods the cuticles.… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI This Color’s Making Waves
This polish was one of the leather effect polishes in their Grease Collection from Summer 2018. Soooooo- this is weird. You’re supposed to do 2 coats and it dries to a “leather effect.” Also, you’re not supposed to top coat it to preserve the effect. As you can see in this closeup, it… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI Electrifyin’ Pink
I love this metallic burnt orange from OPI’s Spring/Summer 2018 Lisbon collection! It’s a gorgeous shade, and the formula was so easy! This was 2 coats. I might really consider this more of a fall shade, but whenever you wear it, it’s beautiful. In the closeup you can kind of see the shimmery bits of… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI Now Museum, Now You Don’t
I got OPI’s Hot and Spicy on clearance- maybe at Sally’s? I don’t remember, lol. Orange polishes are not really my thing, but I figured, what the heck, good for a base for a Halloween mani, or something summery. And it’s really good! It’s not a jelly, but it’s almost a crelly (cross between… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI Hot & Spicy
These first two polishes are from Ulta, they had a 50% off clearance sale, and I picked up these textured polishes! I wasn’t sure I wanted either of these, but I did at 50% off, they’ll be so fun to try. The pink one is the pink leather polish from the Grease collection, called Electrifyin’… Read More OPI Random Polishes and a Sally’s Haul!
Oooooh, a bright pink glass fleck Hello Kitty polish!!! OPI did their Hello Kitty collection in 2016, and it was so fun! This polish, Say Hello Kitty! was in a limited edition package with some Swarovski crystal bows. Hmmm, I wonder where I put those, lol. I did 3 coats to get it totally… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI Say Hello Kitty!
