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
Phew! Did 2021 go by as fast for you as it did for me? I finished my Master’s Degree in Human Resources and started my MBA (I’ll be finished with that in a couple of months). Of course, kids, hubby and job also kept me busy! I didn’t have a ton of mainstream polish faves-… Read More Mainstream Nail Polish Favorites for 2021!
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

China Glaze Kiss and Spell was from their 2020 Halloween collection It’s a gorgeous burgundy with gold shimmer- that dries matte! I should have done a shiny top coat to see how pretty that was, but I was enamored of the matte finish! Then I wore OPI’s Orange You Fantastic, part of their Coca-Cola collection.… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- more Halloween Polish

Check out the beautiful shimmer!… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Love ’em and Leaves ’em
