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!

An 80's Moment...

Hello Readers,

Today, I have kind of a crazy fun mani, to be honest I had an 80's moment. Right after I did this it made me think of 'Saved by the Bell' and 'The Max'! I used a few different colors and topcoats to make this look. I used a brand I got at Target called 'Pixi Glow' called 'Pirouette Pink' that's a chalky neon pink with a slight shimmer, butter London 'Slapper' which is a bright teal-turquoise, Nicole by OPI 'Nothing Kim-Pares to Blue' which is a periwinkle shimmer, Dandy Nails 'Funhouse' which has a clear base with bright fuchsia, bright teal-turquoise shards, and a fine silver shimmer and 'Wingless' which has the same clear base and fine silver glitter but with a light gold and aqua colored shards.

Now for the pics!!!

Can you just visualize the opening credits of 'Saved by the Bell' with all of the geometric shapes flying around in the background? I think this is a fun mani but certainly not work appropriate! What do you guys think?

Cheers,

Nicole by OPI 'Kim-pletely In Love'

Hello Lovely Ladies,

Today I have Nicole by OPI 'Kim-pletely In Love' which is a semi-sheer light cool pink shade with a blue opalescent shimmer. I FINALLY found this color, ok I didn't my fiancé found it misplaced at the store and surprised me with it today. Oddly enough I actually decided to put it on today to start off my week! It's a quick post!

Here are the photos... I used 3 coats.

I'm completely in love & have been for nearly 6 years

What do you ladies' think? If you like a pretty clean pink then you'll love this shade. How else would you wear this color? Plain or with some sort of nail art?

Cheers,
Bridget
