NOTD: OPI A Definite Moust-Have

This polish is from the OPI Couture de Minnie Collection (2013). It is a reddish coral pink color with a slight pearly shimmer. I do not usually like pearly shimmer, but it is pretty subtle. You can only really see it in the sun. I love the base color and the formula was really good! I used 2 coats. When I brought this home, my mom said she really liked it. She is probably going to use it for her next pedi haha.

NOTD: Color Club Age of Aquarius & accent nail

This nail polish is a really bright, almost neon, turquoise green color. It is gorgeous! The color was hard to photograph, so it's not exactly true to color. The formula was not that great, though. It was streaky, so I used 3 coats. I did the same accent nail as the last mani and it looked really pretty!

NOTD: OPI You're Such a Budapest

This polish is from OPI's Euro Centrale Collection for Spring 2013. It is a light blue-toned lavender color with some hidden shimmer. It is really pretty! I used 3 coats because it was kind of sheer.

NOTD: OPI Eurso Euro

This polish is from OPI's Euro Centrale Collection for Spring/Summer 2013. It is a gorgeous deep blue with some purple undertones. My photo is taken in natural daylight, which is why it looks lighter, but when inside it looks deeper. I used 2 coats. I really love this color! Even though it is kind of a deep color, it is bright!

NOTD: Glitter Gradient

For this glitter gradient, I used OPI Ski Teal We Drop and China Glaze Cleopatra. Ski Teal We Drop is a beautiful deep teal color. I used 2 coats. Then, I used Cleopatra for the gradient. It is a gold glitter with some iridescent glitter. I loved this combo! It was hard to get good pictures of it, though.

NOTD: OPI You Callin' Me A Lyre?

This polish is from the NYC Ballet Collection. It is a sheer pink with some peach undertones. It was a little streaky, but better than other sheers I've used. I used 4 coats. It's a really pretty and delicate color.

NOTD: OPI Don't Touch My Tutu & Essie Beyond Cozy

I felt like doing a glitter gradient. I used 4 coats of Don't Touch My Tutu and then used Beyond Cozy for the gradient. It did not come out that great because Beyond Cozy has gotten thick, so it was kind of hard to work with.

NOTD: Nails Inc Porchester Square & OPI Pirouette My Whistle

I felt like doing something delicate on my nails, so I used Porchester Square and Pirouette My Whistle. I used 2 coats of Porchester Square and 2 coats of Pirouette My Whistle. I love the combination! It's so pretty!

NOTD: Color Club Catwalk Queen & OPI Glitzerland

I decided to try a half moon manicure.  I used 2 coats of Glitzerland. It is a light gold color. Then, I used 2-3 coats of Catwalk Queen. It's a beautiful dark shimmery purple. I liked these two colors together!

NOTDs

I've shown swatches of these polishes in the past, but with my old camera. So, I figured I would post new photos since the quality is better. However, this time I wore China Glaze Party Hearty over China Glaze Glittering Garland. I used 2 coats of Glittering Garland and 1 coat of Party Hearty. I used 3 coats for OPI Vodka and Caviar.

NOTD: OPI Mrs. O'leary's Bbq & Essie Beyond Cozy

Mrs. O'leary's Bbq is a dark purple-red with some brown. It comes out darker on the nail than in the bottle. I decided to do an accent nail using Essie Beyond Cozy. I love this combination! I used 2 coats of each polish. Sorry that my nails are not very shiny because they got dulled from work.

NOTD: OPI The World is Not Enough

This polish is from the OPI Skyfall Collection (Holiday/Winter 2012). It is a pewter/taupe foil. It has tiny little  different colored shimmers (pink, blue, purple?) in it that you can see when you look at it up close. It is so gorgeous especially in the sun! The weather was horrible out when I took these pictures (so they are a little bit blurry), but I may try to take more pictures when I wear it again. This polish was sheer, so I used 3 coats.

NOTD: OPI Berlin There Done That

This polish is from the OPI Germany Collection. It is a (brown-grey-with a little purple) taupe color. I think the second photo is more color accurate. I really love the color and the formula was good. I used 2 coats.

NOTD: OPI Step Right Up!

This polish is a very light pink. It is from the Femme de Cirque collection. The formula was kind of streaky, so I used 3 coats. I love the color, though!

NOTD: OPI If You Moust You Moust

This polish is from the OPI Vintage Minnie Mouse Collection. It is basically the same color as OPI Shorts Story. It is a bright blue-tone pink. It's super pretty! The formula was a little streaky, though. I used 2 coats, but could have probably used 3 coats.

NOTD: OPI Designer...De Better & Essie A Cut Above

Essie A Cut Above is from Essie's Luxeffects. It is a pink glitter with small and big glitter in it. I love it! It is not a really sparse glitter (you know, like those ones that you only get like 3 pieces of glitter on your nails). I decided to layer it over Designer...De Better (which I swatched on here before). It is a champagne color. I did 2 coats of the OPI and I think I did 1 coat of the glitter.

NOTD: OPI Don't Touch My Tutu & Pirouette My Whistle

These polishes are from the OPI New York City Ballet Collection. Don't Touch My Tutu is a sheer jelly white. I found it to be a little streaky. I used 3 coats of it. Then, I put 1 coat of the glitter over it. Pirouette My Whistle has tiny silver glitter and big white-silver glitter. It is so delicate and pretty! This mani reminds me of clouds or marshmallows, haha. I love it! I'm not sure how I feel about the white on its own though.

NOTD: Jelly Sandwich

I decided to try doing a jelly sandwich with OPI Got a Date To-Knight and Lippmann Happy Birthday. The OPI is a light pink jelly polish. I used 2 coats of it, then 1 coat of Happy Birthday, and then 1 coat of the OPI on top. I think it came out really cool! It reminds me of cupcakes with sprinkles or something.

Btw, I'm really sorry for the strange looking hand...I had to have my sister take a picture of my right hand because my nails got messed up on my left hand (and I'm a righty, so it was too hard for me to take the picture myself).
