Orly Kaleidoscope was one of the Electric Escape Summer 2021 collection. I got several of these, and I thought this would be the one I liked the least, but I really really liked this. Such a pretty pretty color. And the formula was great! For a cream polish, this is just amazing. I can’t wait… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Orly Kaleidoscope
I got these cool polishes from Color Club. They’re so glittery!! The first one is License to Chill, a beautiful blue. I love the silvery blue base with the bright blue glitters. It is really pretty, a great wintery polish!! I did three coats. Removal was a bit hard because of the glitters, but the… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Color Club License to Chill, Freeze Company
China Glaze is just so good at nail polish, lol. This is Spring in my Step, a light pink cream. It had an okay formula, a little streaky and patchy but I powered through, lol. You can kind of see the patchiness here, but irl it’s not noticible. It’s a pretty color, not really my… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Spring in my Step
Who doesn’t love a yellowey lime green polish! This is amazing! From Morgan Taylor, Limelight. Two coat cream formula, very easy to work with! A fun springy summery color! Highly recommend. Next is Ella + Mila Dulce Amor. Meh. LOL I mean, it’s okay. It’s a pretty enough color, and the formula was fine. It’s… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Morgan Taylor Limelight and Ella + Mila Dulce Amor
This is China Glaze Blue Sparrow- I had no idea it was a matte polish until I put it on! This was from their 2008 INK collection- the same collection that brought us Celtic Sun. So cool, right? It almost has a shimmery vibe even though it’s matte. The formula was easy- even as a… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Blue Sparrow
So I know it’s 2022, but here are the swatches of the OPI Holiday collection that I purchased. You can still purchase these, and spoiler alert, I love them! I got all the holos and the blue cream. So we’ll lead with my favorite, Mylar Dreams- the pink holo. It really is a one coater,… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- the OPI Holiday Collection
This is a classic blue polish, said to be close to Sally Hansen’s Pacific Blue. I’ll have to compare them sometime! It’s a great blue- I got this at Ulta ages ago, for like $1.97 or something crazy like that. It’s a beautiful blue cream with a beautiful formula. And I am a HUGE Sherlock… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Nails Inc. Baker Street
When I first tried China Glaze’s Twinkle Twinkle Little Starfish, it was SUPER sheer- so I put on my JReine VNL first, then did 3 coats of Twinkle Twinkle Little Starfish. Oh, yes, this was when my dumb middle nail broke! Ugh. Oh well. It’s pretty, and fine, and it was a total PITA on… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Twinkle Twinkle Little Starfish and Color Club Foil Me Once
OPI Black Dress Not Optional was from their 2016 Breakfast at Tiffany’s collection. I have never seen that movie, lol. It looks black but it is I think a super super deep gray with a shimmer. Or maybe a black with a silver shimmer. I don’t know. It is pretty. So pretty. I did two… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI Black Dress Not Optional and OPI Embarca-dare Ya
Oh my gosh, this color!!! It’s everything! From their Summer 2021 Malibu collection. It’s just so so pretty! I love the shimmer- not quite a glass fleck, it’s a smaller shimmer than that. Three thin coats, a great formula- on the thin side, but not too thin. The shimmer leans a tad purpley pink- so… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI Strawberry Waves Forever
