New 30 Day challenge! Day 1 OPI DS GLAMOUR!!!

Hello Ladies I am back with another 30 Day challenge that was circling around the net and the image was made by my polish buddies on Facebook. This one is a little simpler then the last one since its not all about nail art and you can interpret it any way you like. I will be going on my own pace since the last one was a little crazy and I cant post everyday so I always falling behind. If you would like to participate please feel free to do so the more the merrier :-)

Day 1 is your Favorite polish and my favorite is OPI DS Glamour! This has been my favorite since before I had it lol.. I use to see pictures of it and drool thinking that it would never be mine. But my Polish bestie Jennifer came through for me and found 2 so we bought it for each other :-). It is soo beautiful and applied beautifully in 2 coats!

I absolutely love this color and it will be my favorite color of all time! I think I need a back up bottle because I want to always have it on. What is your favorite polish?

Day 21 Mani inspired by a Color

Today I was searching for the Wet N Wild On the prowl collection when I seen this beautiful scarf and I just love the color and I went home without the scarf because I was broke so next best thing was to go home an paint my nails that same color. It was pretty hard since I forgot to get a picture of it but I managed to find a similar color OPI I eat mainely lobster. It went on smooth in 2 coats I was unable to capture the gold shimmer in it.

I love this color! I always fall in love with pink with a gold shimmer in. What color can you not resist to buy and wear no matter how many you have?

Day 4 green OPI Zom-body to love

Day 3 I decided to go with a Halloween polish because I love Halloween!! So there nothing better then Glow in the dark nails! OPI Zom-body to love is part of a duo set along with Black shatter that OPI came out with this year for Halloween. Zom-body to love is pretty sheer and took about 4 coats to get to this It wasn't bad since it dries quick. 

4 coats

In the dark

This is definitely  going to be the polish I use for Halloween unless I find a glow in the dark polish that glows blue. Does anyone know of any glow in the dark polishes that glow a different color then green?

Shatters + Bottles by Shadow

I wanted to play with my new shatters so  I  did a quick mani I applied Revlon Royal then took out my Turquoise shatter and then thought to do some accent nails but i was pretty tired so I ended just using silver shatter for accent nails. It didn't feel complete so I added some glitter! I did one coat of Cover girl boundless color city lights and a coat of seche vite to smooth it out.

So I recently arranged a swap with Rebecca from rebecca likes nails and one of the the polishes in the swap was her beautiful fraken that she later named Rebecca likes cupcake. I had made an order from Transdesign.com and with that order I had got some empty bottles for Rebecca and to try to do a franken. As I was packing her stuff I had an AHA moment I thought to myself I sometime buy polishes because I like the shape of the decoration of the bottle so why not decorate the bottle.. I already had an idea of what I was going to draw because Rebecca love hello kitty like I do and her fraken is called Rebecca likes cupcakes so why not make a Hello Kitty Cupcake. I decided I would draw the outline with a sharpie and then design the entire thing with nail polish. Here is the begin of the the process

Here is all the polishes I used.

Final Product

After the polishes dried I added a coat of Seche Vite to give it some protection.I love how it turned out I almost kept it for myself but It was Rebecca's fraken that inspired this creation so she deserves it. I will be making more of these. 

Haul

So this is what I have acquired in the last couple of weeks Its not alot which is good because as you all know I am out of control. I just completed 3 swaps so I am awaiting alot of Nail mail as well as my 1st Nfu ohs, NYX girls, Barielle's and some Kleancolors. The polish I got this week were all very cheap because I went Dusty hunting I managed to find brand new polish as well as used polishes in Nail salons in Boston. First I'm gonna show you some nail stuff I found at Forever 21.

Love & Beauty glitter polishes

Designed false nails

I found the rest of these is different salons all brand new! Some of these polish go for an arm and a leg on ebay so it was a big score for me!

OPI What's Dune?

OPI Shim-merry chic

OPI Midnight blue glitter

China Glaze Gr8

China Glaze LOL

OPI Turquoise shatter

OPI red shatter

OPI Blue shatter

The next two are used and I got them for $1.50 each because they are used and needed thinner. The OPI one is a mystery polish I love the color I looked for the label and it wasn't there. I posted pictures of it on facebook to help figure out what it could be all the ladies were really helpful and they all said it could be OPI blue moon lagoon because it is holo but not as strong and it could also be OPI Go on green. I love the color and I'm just gonna call it Mystery lol..

OPI Mystery salon polish

China Glaze 2nite

Can you believe that's all I got in this whole time ! I was shocked! Have you ladies ever gone Dusty hunting? Do you know what Dusty Hunting is?

Gargantuan green grape

I have a new favorite green polish!! I am not a fan of green nail polish but I seem to be growing on me because I keep buying green nail polishes. This one just became my new favorite green polish! Before is was OPI jade is the new black now its OPI Gargantuan green grape i love that its light but bright at the same time.

Perfect is 2 coats

DAMN blue sharpie got me! lol

Beautiful sunset that day!

I can see myself using this polish very often just because it such a perfect green atleast for me. What is your favorite green polish? 

OPI Mermaid Tears

I recently got some of the new OPI Pirates of the Caribbean polishes and the one Ive had my eyes on has been Mermaid tears so once I got it I couldn't wait to use it.  It went on smooth in 2 coat I love this color it looks like nothing in my collection.

I then decide to add some Silver shatter on a couple nails.

I absolutely love these 2 together. I am very happy I got this polish I might have to get a back up because I will definitely be using this this color a lot and I see this polish selling out. What color do you like from this collection?

Pink Overload!

Today my cousin came to me wanting me to do her nails. I of course said yes because I love being able to try some of my untried. I asked her what she had in mind and she seen my nails with the glitter accent finger and she wanted the same idea but different colors. I asked what color and she said a make me happy color. My cousin couldn't pick a color of what she calls a make me happy color. So I picked out Zoya Happi if that's not a make me happy color then it didn't live up to its name lol.. as for the accent finger she picked out OPI Teenage Dream.

3 coats of Happi with OPI start to finish

3 coats of Teenage dream with Seche Vite

She loved them and will probably wear it till the last piece of nail polish on her nails. I hope Zoya polishes last with the OPI start to finish then I wont have to buy their Color Lock System.

NOTD OPI Jade is the new black and Nubar 2010

I actually don't like green that much but when I seen OPI Jade is the new black I kinda fell in love with the color I couldn't wait to use it. It applied great it was beautiful  in 2 coats.

I wanted to add a little something to it but I wasn't sure what. I was gonna Konad it and while I was getting my supplies I ran into my Nubar 2010 so I thought why not lets add some flakies.

2 coats of OPI Jade is the new black and 2 coats of Nubar 2010

Love this combination it reminds me of the Boston Celtic my home Basketball team. Go Celtics!

NOTD: Absolutely Alice

I got Absolutely Alice yesterday in the mail along with the rest of the Alice in wonderland collection and I could not wait to see it on my nails. My favorite color is blue and this polish gotta be the most beautiful blue glitter ever. Ive gotten many glitters lately but this beat all of them by far! I tried taking good pics but none of them do it justice its soo much more beautiful in person.

OPI Absolutely Alice

Had to put my new little Hello Kitty in there

Broke a nail playing volleyball :-(
