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: Nicole by OPI Kourt is Red-y for a Pedi

This polish is from the Kardashian Collection. It is a bright red with orange tones to it. It's really pretty. I used 3 coats, since it is kind of sheer.

NOTD: Sephora by OPI Read My Palm & accent nail

I decided to do an accent nail with Read My Palm. I used 2 coats of OPI Glitzerland and then 2 coats of Nicole by OPI Kissed at Midnight. I love the combination of the glitter with the gold polish. Kissed at Midnight is a glitter top coat with multi-sized gold and silver glitter. The glitter is pretty nice...you do not have to do a million coats to actually get glitter on your nails haha.

NOTD: Essie Under Where?

This polish is from the Resort 2013 collection. It is a light purple with pink undertones. The formula is a bit thin, but it wasn't hard to work with. I used 3 coats.

NOTD: Sephora by OPI Pale is the New Tan

This is a new Sephora by OPI polish. It is a pale nude with some peach tones. It's really pretty. I used 3 coats since it was a little streaky.

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 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: China Glaze Merry Berry & Nicole by OPI Nail Ya Azalea

China Glaze Merry Berry is from the Holiday Joy 2012 Collection. It is a deep berry color. It's really glossy and pretty. I decided to try layering Nicole by OPI Nail Ya Azalea over it. The combination looked really cool! I used 2 coats of Merry Berry and 1 coat of the Nicole by OPI. It was hard to capture it in the photo. In real life, there was a little more purple to it.

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: Illamasqua Phallic

This nail polish is a deep blue with blue shimmer. It is gorgeous and glowy. However, it is not as shimmery as in the bottle. It is a bit darker in real life most of the time and you do not see the shimmer particles as much unless you look at it up close. From for away, it just looks glowy. I was a bit disappointed that it did not show up how it does in the bottle, but I still think it's a great dark shimmery blue! I used 2 coats.

With flash:

NOTD: China Glaze Champagne Kisses

Champagne Kisses is from the China Glaze Holiday Joy Collection (2012). It is a champagne rose gold-ish glitter polish with some holographic glitter in it. You see the holographic glitter more in the sun. It was not a really opaque glitter, but it was not that sheer either. I used 3 coats and 1 coat of top coat. I could have used another layer of top coat to make it really smooth, but I was too lazy haha. 

NOTD: Chanel Malice

Chanel released this polish for the holidays this year. I couldn't resist it because I love dark reds. It's a dark red with ruby shimmer that makes the polish glow. You don't see the shimmer as much when it's not in the sunlight or bright lighting. It looks like a vampy red-burgundy inside most of the time, but in the sun...it's amazing! My pictures don't really do it justice. The formula was pretty good, but for some reason I had a hard time using the Chanel brush. I used 2 coats.

NOTD: Butter London Jack the Lad

This polish is from Butter London's Holiday 2012 Collection. It is an evergreen color with green, gold, and aqua shimmer/glitter. It is gorgeous and great for the holidays! It was kind of sheer, so I used 3 coats.

NOTD: Essie Limited Addiction

This polish is from the Fall 2010 Collection. It is kind of a deeper red; it's darker than OPI Vodka and Caviar. It's beautiful. I used 3 coats, but you could probably use just 2.

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: Lippmann Single Ladies

I think this nail polish was from Deborah Lippmann's Fall 2011 Collection. It is a gorgeous vampy red. The formula was a little sheer, so I used 3 coats.

Disclaimer: I received this nail polish from Apothica.com.

NOTD: Nicole by OPI Sea How Far You Go

I found this polish at Marshall's. I think it was a Target exclusive. It is a really interesting color. It is a gold, grey, green duochrome-ish polish. It is pretty cool. It was sheer, so I used 3 coats.

NOTD: OPI Every Month is Oktoberfest

This polish is from the OPI Germany Collection (Fall 2012). It is a dark shimmery burgundy-plum color. It is seriously gorgeous! I used 2 coats.

NOTD: Essie Bikini So Teeny & $OPI Indi-go With the Flow

Sephora by OPI Indi-go With the Flow is a steel blue/periwinkle blue glitter topcoat. There are big pieces and small pieces of glitter. I decided to use it as an accent with Essie Bikini So Teeny. It's so pretty! I used 2 coats of the Essie and 1 and a half coats of the glitter.
