Nails: OPI Pink-ing of you

Hello Beauties,

Today's post is a nail polish and a beauty at that! Pink-ing Of You is from OPI Soft shades Collection. This Polish was covered with the Brest Cancer ribbon and grabbed my attention. I caught it on sale at a local Kroger. I fell in love with the light, soft pink creme.

Nails: Nothin' Mousie 'Bout It. Swatch and review.

Hey Beauties,

Today is my birthday!! Happy Birthday to me!! #129!!

Today, I'm reviewing a polish from the 2012 OPI Minnie Mouse Collection, Nothin' Mousie 'Bout It. Nothin' Mousie 'Bout It is a light pink polish with pretty pink hearts. OPI describes it as, "Don't squeak it -SHOUT it. This confetti light pink is tops!"

OPI Danke-Shiny Red

Today's NOTD is dedicated to a red beauty! This red beauty is OPI Danke-Shiny Red. This polish wasn't on my radar. It is from the OPI Germany Collection 2012. I'd seen it, but didn't think too much of it but I received it in my birthday swap month and I couldn't wait to try it!!

OPI On Collins Ave

On Collins Ave is from OPI's South Beach Collection 2009. I picked this up a little while ago from Kroger for $3.99. I really liked the color and wanted to share it with you guys. On Collins Ave  is an orangey-red color that leans either way depending on lighting.

On Collins Ave was just a tad thin, but workable. I had no main issues with it at all and I really love the color. It reminds me of the watermelon coral color. This polish is a creme. There is no shimmer or glitter. Love it! Ready for it?

Do you Lilac it?

OPI's Do You Lilac It? is a gorgeous lilac creme. I love this color. I think I say that a lot, oh well. We're all polish lovers here, right? Well, this polish is a beauty. It applied with no issues and dried fast. I only used two coats and no top coat.

Looky here:

So what is your opinion, Do you Lilac it? lol.

Thanks for reading,

(Do You Lilac It? was purchased with my own money.)

OPI Strawberry Margarita

I don't like anything Strawberry. I don't like strawberries, strawberry flavored drinks, strawberry candy and so on. I think I may have finally found something strawberry that I like and guess what? It is a nail polish!! :-) Of course, it would be! OPI Strawberry Margarita caught my eye when I was browsing on Copious one day. I had a $10 credit and I really wanted this bright pink color. (if you aren't on Copious click HERE and receive a $10 credit just for signing up!!)

Strawberry Margarita is a bright pink polish. It is a creme and is very in your face, but that's why I like it. It is  a great summer color and wears really well. The first day I got this I immediately put it on. I loved the way it applied and I had no issues with the formula.

Take a look:

The pictures are beautiful and give a good representation of how this polish looks in person. I give OPI an 'A' for Strawberry Margarita.

Here's Strawberry Margarita as a base color for 365 Days of Color Glittercide (review here):

Mermaid's Tears & Golden Goddess

OPI's Mermaid's Tears and e.l.f Golden Goddess is the 4th manicure for the St. Patrick's Day series. I'm so into mint green these days so I had no choice, but to add one of these to the series.

Mermaid's Tears is beautiful. It applies very well and their is no streaking. I have always been a fan of OPI! Mermaid's Tears is an absolutely beautiful mint green. The color is a deep mint green. There are several mints out there, but Mermaid's Tears is a darker one. I must say I love this shade of Mint.

 e.l.f. Golden Goddess is amazing as well. The only thing about Golden Goddess that I hate is the smell. It smells  horrible. It has a strong smell like Seche Vite, but different. Even when it dries you can still smell it, but the beauty of Golden Goddess makes you forget the smell.

Golden Goddess is a gold, of course. It has small golden sparkles throughout with big hex glitters that capture the light and reflect the light. This causes the nail to appear gold with hints of rainbow. It's amazing!! I love it!!

Okay here are the pictures:

Check out the rainbow sparklies!!  

What do you think of this choice?
