Orly Peaceful Opposition

I really like this polish! This is Orly Peaceful Opposition, a milky white base with small silver square and hex glitter. Once applied, the base takes on a hint of a rosy hue as well, it's pretty.
The base is pretty sheer, so I started with a coat of China Glaze Dandy Lyin' Around, a white shimmer. I followed with two coats of Peaceful Opposition. The glitter spread easily and I didn't have any formula issues. Dry time was fine, though I did top everything was Sally Hansen Insta-Dri top coat to speed things up. There is still some VNL, but with this kind of polish I don't mind.

OPI Alcatraz... Rocks

You ever have a polish that you love... but you've never worn it?

OPI Alcatraz... Rocks is that polish for me. I love the shimmer, love the name, love the Liquid Sand texture. I guess I just haven't been in a blue mood lately? Either way, this polish is gorgeous, just like I knew it would be.

So easy to apply and it dries very quickly. I actually only applied one coat, I like the lighter color and the opacity is really pretty good! I did do two coats on my left thumb, the color is darker, but just as lovely. I was trying to showcase the absolutely stunning gold shimmer in the last two photos, they didn't turn out the best... but the polish is gorgeous in person!

Sinful Colors Black on Black & Victoria's Secret Peep Show

I really like this combination! This is one coat of my favorite black creme, Sinful Colors Black on Black, topped with a layer of Victoria's Secret shimmery pink Peep Show.

The two polishes weren't playing the best together, so to seal everything I used a top coat of Sally Hansen Insta-Sri. Dry time still took a bit, but it was worth it. The black peeks through the pink shimmer just enough to almost give a purple-y effect, not quite duochrome, but close.

Sally Hansen Chartreuse Chase

Here is Sally Hansen Chartreuse Chase, part of their Insta-Dri line.
I used two coats and while I love the color, the formula was pretty frustrating to use. The first coat was streaky and for some reason the brush just wasn't as easy to get a nice line as other brands' brushes. Not to mention all the bubbles that appeared after the polish started drying as well as the fact that dry time was pretty long, especially given that it was just two coats. I also ended up getting a few dents quite a while after I applied the polish, probably due to the long dry time.

The color is pretty though and I've gotten several compliments, people can't really see the application issues I had so I guess it's all good.

Sally Hansen Work of Tart

What a pretty color! This is Sally Hansen's Work of Tart, a textured polish that's part of their Sugar Shimmer collection.

I picked up a bottle on clearance at Target this past weekend hoping that the color would be nice, I'm funny about blues on my nails and I couldn't quite tell from online swatches whether it'd work for me or not.

Well, I LOVE it! This is two thin coats and a thicker one, that got the opacity to where I liked it. Folks were saying it dried slow, which yes, it is slower than some of the OPI liquid sand polishes, but by the time the movie I was watching was done, it was dry enough to get ready for bed.
The color is a pretty teal green/blue with an obvious gold shimmer when outside. The shimmer was difficult to capture in photos, but in person it's really pretty.

Needless to say, I went back and picked up a couple back-up polishes the next day! : )

Nicole by OPI Promises in the Dark

This is a really pretty dark brown creme from Nicole by OPI called Promises in the Dark.

I received this polish as part of a giveaway on Facebook from Dove Chocolates... it was so much fun receiving a lovely polish surprise in the mail!

Of course the formula is perfect, almost a one-coater... this is two easy coats, no top coat. It has a lovely shine and dries very quickly.

Spoiled I'm So Jaded & Milani Sugar Burst

This is two coats of Spoiled I'm So Jaded, a bright lime green with a golden shimmer. There are a couple spots that could have used a third coat, but since I knew I was adding glitter I didn't do one.
I topped the green with a layer of Milani Sugar Burst, a baby pink glitter mix that also has some holographic bits mixed in. I'd been trying to find a base color that I liked with the baby pink, I think I really like it with the green! It's something different in any case. : )
