Nicole by OPI 'One Big Happy Fame-Ily' + Holo Topcoat

I'm not typically a huge fan of purple polishes, they either have to be on the pastel side, muted, or a dark shade of purple. This Nicole by OPI shade is a pastel with a very intense silver glass fleck (the polish looks the same on your nails as it does in the bottle...imagine that!?). This polish is a bit on the sheer side but glides on nicely and is mostly opaque at 2 coats which I applied for the photos below. You could achieve a fully opaque look with 3 coats. 

*A note about this polish- It's a CVS exclusive, I'm not sure if it's considered limited edition (LE) or not but I know it's only available at CVS which is where I purchased this color and the rest of the collection. 

Now for the pictures...

Later on in the day I decided to add the Brazilian polish Hits 'Hefesto' which is a silver linear holographic topcoat polish for a pretty lavender holographic look! I think it came out pretty, it definitely looks lighter but now it has that amazing rainbow effect (that is truly stunning in natural sunlight!).

Until next time!

Dior 'Poison' & Hits 'Moonbow'

As much as I love bright colors I like to mix things up. If I wear a lot of pink and purple I like to wear some orange and yellow and vice versa. I also like those really dark 'almost black' shades. I finally got my hands on the Dior Les Violets collection (so excited too) that's limited edition so snatch them while you can! I've got Dior 'Poison' featured today topped with a stunning Brazilian polish. 

Here are the photos...

Details of this mani:
  • I used 2 coats of Dior 'Poison' (no topcoat in the first two photos)
    • This polish is a very dark 'almost black' eggplant purple cream polish. It covered well and dried very shiny on its own. 
    • You can find this polish at Nordstrom's either in store or online here for $23.00
  • I used 1 coat of Hits 'Moonbow'
    • This polish features a clear base with small glitter that features a strong color shift from a green-teal to a bright purple.
    • You can find this polish on Llarowe's website here for $8.00 however I got mine through a swap with a lovely lady named Rose! Thank you again Rose!
  •  I used 1 coat of  Essie 'Good To Go' topcoat 
Until next time...

Sephora by OPI 'What a Broad' @ HITS 'Can Can'

Hello Readers,

This is more or less of a test of the blogger app! For this mani I used 2 coats of Sephora by OPI 'What a Broad' and 1 coat of HITS 'Can Can'. I didn't use a topcoat for this mani!

Photo is below!
