Pink & Silver Sublte Stamping

I loved how OPI Mermaid's Tears looked with silver stamping so I decided to try the same image and polish (Sally Hansen Celeb City) on top of OPI Sparrow Me The Drama. I love both of these manicure looks. If you would like to see what this stamping looks like on Mermaid's Tears you can view my post here.

Orly Snow Cone

Orly Snow Cone is a light blue creme polish that is pretty average as far as I'm concerned. I probably own 4-5 blue polishes and this one is my least favorite. I got this polish for free with a coupon a few months ago so it is hard to complain. I think it will be good for water marbling so when I have time I will try that :) This is two coats, no top coat.

Essie: Nice is Nice

Essie Nice is Nice is a pretty lavender creme polish that is perfect for spring/summer. I purchased this polish during a CVS 50% off clearance sale but I would have paid full price for it. The formula is great, and it is unique from several other lavender polishes I have tried. This is two coats, no top coat.

Mermaid's Tears & Silver Stamping

I love OPI Mermaid's Tears, it is the perfect creme base for stamping. I also love Sally Hansen Celeb City, which is perfect for stamping. This also happens to be one of my favorite Konad plate images. I think this is my favorite non-pink manicure I have tried so far :)

Pirate Skittles

I purchased the small OPI set from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection awhile ago and finally decided to use them. I wanted to test all four polishes out, so I painted my nails like this. They only stayed like this for a few hours, but it was fun to have rainbow nails for once. I love all of the Pirate colors, but I think in the future I will stick to the full size bottles and not the minis.

OPI: Sparrow Me The Drama

OPI Sparrow Me The Drama is a beautiful dusty pink that is unique from the dozens of other pink polishes in my collection. The formula was flawless, and was easily opaque in two coats. If you have not picked up this polish yet, I highly recommend both Sparrow Me The Drama, and Mermaid's Tears from the OPI Pirates collection.

I Love OPI Mermaid's Tears

I was interested in all of the colors from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection but only ended up purchasing Mermaid's Tears and Sparrow Me The Drama in full size. I am surprised to say I like the dusty green Mermaid's Tears better than the pink Sparrow Me The Drama. I love creme finish polishes, and have no negative things to say about the application for Mermaid's Tears. This polish was easily opaque in two coats. I have always stayed away from the pricy OPI, but I am now convinced their polishes are worth every penny.

China Glaze: Sea Spray & Polish Question

I had never intended on picking up Sea Spray until I saw it at Ulta a few weeks ago. It is a soft pale blue that looks almost grey. It is very unique compared to everything I own. For now, I am going to try to refrain from purchasing pink polishes and try new things.

If you have a suggestion for your favorite polish that is not pink, can you please leave it in the comments below? :)

OPI Panda-Monium Pink

OPI Panda-Monium Pink is the perfect milky lilac pink. It was very opaque and streak-free in only two coats. It dries shiny so I found no need for a top coat. I love the brushes on my OPI polishes, application is easy and quick. I will definitely be splurging more often on OPI.

OPI Strawberry Margarita

OPI Strawberry Margarita is a bright, warm pink. I think this polish is a universally flattering beautiful but boring pink. There is not much to say about Strawberry Margarita, it is pretty but it does not make it to my top ten. This is two coats, no top coat.

Orly Gumdrop

Orly Gumdrop is a turquoise creme from the Sweet Collection Spring 2010. This is a blue/green that reminds me of China Glaze For Audrey. It is a gorgeous color that was easily opaque in two coats.

Orly Pixy Stix

Orly Pixy Stix is from the Sweet 2010 Spring Collection. Pixy Stix is a pink creme that looks like a combination between pink and a little bit of peach. I had no problems with application and it was opaque in two coats. Surprisingly I have no similar polishes. This is two coats, no top coat.

China Glaze Sugar High

Sugar High is a bright, shiny bubblegum pink. It was opaque in two coats, but it took ages to dry. If you have the patience to let it dry I think this shade would flatter everyone. This is my fourth polish from the Up & Away Collection, they are all perfect for Spring.

China Glaze: Empowerment

China Glaze Empowerment is a cute cotton candy pink creme from the "Fight Like A Woman" breast cancer awareness collection. This polish is similar to a few light pink creme polishes I own so I probably could have done without it, but you cannot beat a free polish. This is two coats, not topcoat.

Orly: Monroe's Red

Orly Monroe's Red is one of my only red nail polishes. It is the perfect red creme that is thick enough to disguise visible nail line. Application was easy, and if needed I think you could get away with one coat. I only own a few dark red shades in my collection so this polish definitely stands out. For $1.99 on Sally's clearance table it cannot be beat. This is two coats, no top coat.

Color Club Sheer Disguise

Color Club Sheer Disguise is a light dusty blue grey with a creme finish. It was opaque in two coats. I am pretty impressed by Color Club. The application of the polishes I have tried has been great, and i found them at Ross which made the price great too.

Vintage Couture: French Affair Dupe

Color Club Vintage Couture is a lavender pink pastel creme. I found the formula difficult to work with and I needed three coats for opacity. This polish is a similar shade to Essie French Affair. Once I had them both on my nails I could not tell the difference. This is three coats, no topcoat

Vintage Couture is on my pointer and ring finger. French Affair is on my middle and pinky nail.

Color Club Revealed

Color Club Revealed is a pale peach pink with subtle pink shimmer. Unfortunately you can actually see the shimmer better in the bottle than on the nail. The formula was okay, I used three coats, no topcoat. I think this polish would look pretty with subtle bundle monster stamping.

Color Club Secret Rendezvous

Color Club Secret Rendezvous is a light pastel lavender creme nail polish from the Alter Ego Collection, Spring 2011. I had some trouble with the formula, i used at least three coats. I have read that there are several dupes of this shade by other brands, but this is my first lavender polish so I am happy to own it. This is three coats, maybe four, no top coat.

When I have time later I plan to top Secret Rendezvous with Color Club Covered in Diamonds. I will post pictures :)

Orly Fancy Fuchsia = Love

Fancy Fuchsia is from Orly’s Spring 2011 Precious Collection. This is my first Orly nail polish, and it will not be my last. Fancy Fuchsia is a beautiful bright pink fuchsia creme. I own loads of pink nail polish, and this one is easily one of my top five favorite shades. I loved the application on my nails, it was easily opaque in two coats. I think it will be a pretty pedicure color for the summer too. This is two coats, no topcoat.

If you know any other pretty pink shades from Orly I should pick up please let me know :)
