NOTD: At First Sight

This is a beautiful pearly-cream shade from OPI called At First Sight. It's a little sheer but 3 coats gets you even coverage.

Swatches
1 coat Essie Ridge Filler
3 coats OPI At First Site
1 coat INM Out The Door

Overall i really love this shade and it reminds me of an Essie shade i have (which i will swatch/compare soon). In my opinion this is a very chic sophisticated shade that you could wear anyplace, including work, school, etc. Its also a great alternative to flat white polishes. Do you own a shade like this? Whats your opinion?

OPI Shangri-la-la Lilac

This beautiful pastel purple is OPI's Shangri-la-la Lilac. Its an old shade from a few years ago but still a good one. I bought it on transdesign.com for a little over $5 which is pretty cheap for OPI.

Comparing this to Essie's Lilacism - another pretty lilac shade - this is more pink toned, where Lilacism has blue undertones. To be honest, i like Shangri-la-la Lilac alot better!

SWATCHES
1 coat AVON Lemon Fortifier as base
2 coats OPI Shangri-la-la Lilac
1 coat INM Out The Door topcoat

[PROS]
opaque in two coats
applies smooth
cream formula
would suit alot of different skin tones
not streaky or patchy at all
great Spring shade
dries quick

[CONS]
Because this is an older OPI shade it's only sold online, not in stores, which may make it hard to get for some.
This particular bottle has the old OPI brush tyle (not the new pro-wide one) so thats a downside, but still applies great.

Loooove this shade!! For me its like the perfect hybrid of pastel pink and pastel lilac. The formula was great, no disappointments there, and it dried pretty quickly so overall im pleased!

NOTD: Mermaid's Tears

This is the second time im trying this polish. The first time was terrible, the formula was streaky and bumpy, i had no idea what was going on. Maybe it was me - because this time it worked great LOL.

This particular shade, Mermaid's Tears, is from the new OPI Pirates of The Caribbean collection and i LOOOVE pretty much all the shades in it. It was opaque in two coats and (this time) the application was smooth.

*Also - for my Luuux followers - i am having the hardest time viewing or posting anything on Luuux right now. I keep getting a "Bad Response From Server" error and nothing works. This has been the 2nd day in a row. VERY frustrating!! So i promise im not ignoring you, I just cant comment on your posts or reply to you because the site isnt working for me.

NOTD: Black Shatter and Big Bang

1 coat Urban Decay Big Bang, and 1 coat OPI Black Shatter

OPI - La-Pazitively Hot Matte

Image is mine. This is the matte OPI shade my daughter and I are wearing today, lol, it's called La-Pazitively Hot Matte and also comes in regular glossy polish. I bought it for roughly $5 on transdesign.com which is where i basically get ALL of my polishes because its soo cheap.

My favorite part about matte polishes or topcoats is the fact that they dry so ridiculously fast. However, they chip super easy, especially if you use cuticle oil, cream, or hand lotion while the matte polish is on your nails. Thats the only downside :(
