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
I was soooo impressed with this collection this year!!!! There are 6 polishes, and it runs the gamut from shimmers to matte to even a holo! Every one of them is a winner, really!!!

All these went on like BUTTAH!… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Halloween Edition- The China Glaze XtraStellar collection
This is such a beautiful, beautiful color!! I love the deep army green with the beautiful shimmer. This is two coats, a great formula.

Check out the beautiful shimmer!… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Love ’em and Leaves ’em
So this was a great summer mani! Orly Artificial Orange, from their Electric Escape Summer 2021 collection. Phew, that’s bright! It’s a cream, and it had a bit of a tricky formula, but worth the effort. It was quite opaque, but did need two coats. It’s a great neon orange! I have really been enjoying… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Orly Artificial Orange
China Glaze Crown for Whatever surprised me- it’s a navy blue matte! Isn’t it so cool! It was from their 2017 Happily Never After Halloween collection. It was so fun! I loved watching it dry matte. A little lumpy on one nail, but not streaky! And I love the color. It accentuates the dip in… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Crown for Whatever, OPI Cajun Shrimp
So last November, on Thanksgiving actually, dd was super sick and we ended up going to an Urgent Care. They were fast, but prescribed a medication that we had to go get (couldn’t wait for later) at the ONLY open pharmacy open, at a Walgreens. So we waited and waited several hours. And while we… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Lacey Lilac
Tried out some Zoyas! This is Mason. Super pretty red/violet shimmer. It was a thinner polish so I did three thin coats. Just love the dent in my middle finger nail! Idk what that is from, just a natural thing in my nail bed I guess. I like Zoya’s shimmer formula, and it wears well.… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Zoya Mason and Zoya Bee
I needed a quick mani and this was sitting out- I’d got it on sale somewhere and hadn’t put it away- so I started slapping it on- and it’s a textured polish!!!! It was from their 2019 Concrete Glitters collection. Can you see the bumpiness? This is after a coat of Smooth Phalanges! I actually… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Essie City Slicker
