Nicole by OPI - I love you cherry much

I think this is part of the Something about color collection  2011. This was in my recent swaap with Carolina, and I am sad that my nails weren't longer so you can enjoy this color as much as I did.

It's a red jelly base, packed with red foilly shimmer!! The foil gives it such a sparkle, and it almost looks like a glitter, but it's not as hard to remove.

I loved this polish, but my nails just aren't showing you how great it is.

This was two coats, and one more thing, this has the old normal bursh not the wide one. Application is not as easy as with creams of course because of the flakies, but it was ok, and it is worth it for this gorgeous color.

So I got Braziliant, Essie resort 2011, and lots of new stuff. But for now let me show you what I got from Carolina.

Pink Wednesday - Nicole by OPI - Miss Independent

So this is going to be another quick one. I am having the busiest week, I've been working like crazy, and don't have any time left for anything else.
So this one is a light pink foil, it looks a bit silver and a bit pink.
This was 3 coats, and application was a bit tricky. I don't quite like the brush on this one, it's the new perfect stroke brush. Aside from that, I just love the look of this polis. It's one of the polishes you sent me Carolina !! So thanxs.
Formula is just great, and it looks almost like Minx. Sorry about the crappy pictures, I am planning on getting a lamp, to take better photos.
And today it's the last day of my giveaway. Just a small reminder.
Here are the photos:

Nicole by OPI - I'm a belieber

Another great polish from my swap with Carolina, and as it turns out it's part of the Justin Bieber collection.
This is a cream purple, and it took 3 coats to get it opaque. The brush is just like on the Diors, so I like it, I find that it makes application a lot easier, because it follows the shape of the nail.
I think two coats is good too, but I still didn't find it opaque enough, but on the bright side it dries super fast.
On top I applied a model from my Bundle Monster BM11 plate with China Glaze Sci fi.
Here is the result:

Wet'n' Wild Blazed

My first ever Wet'n'Wild nail polish ever!! And it is thanx to Carolina again!!
I love the shape of the bottles, they are so pretty.
This one is a beautiful Peachy cream nail polish. It was opaque in two coats, and the formula is great. And I think these are quite cheap in the states, because these can not be found in Europe, I've found some sites that do deliver in Europe, but they are not always stocked with the most recent collections.
Wet'n'Wild also makes make up - I've actually bought 3 sets of eye shadow and they are really cheap - 3$ a piece, and they are great quality products. I bought mine on this site www.nonpareilboutique.com
I added a coat of red Shatter from OPI over this.
And bonus : OPI white Shatter over Dior Aloha.

OPI - Guy meets gal-veston

Aaaaand I am done with my Opi Texas, I didn't buy them all, only the sorbets.
This one is a gorgeous orangy red one, with the typical glossy finish you all know and love, and the VNL that I am starting to adore on these.
I actually did this swatch a long time ago, when I got them, but it was the polish I had on to the OPI launch and I took it off there to get a mani done with Road house blues and so I had to redo it, but no worries I did it better this time.
I also did a model on it with one of my bundle monster plates, but can't remember which one, and two special Konad polishes. And to top it off I added a coat of Dior Rock coat.

Nicole by OPI - Sky's the limit

My very first Nicole by OPI!! And I have it thanx to Carolina!! I got it in my second swap with her.
This one and 2 more, which I will show you later on.
So I just saw that I have arrived at 200 posts, I've been doing this for like 5 months now.
This polish, is a blue shimmer polish, mixed up with white shimmer. It is sheer so this was 3 coats, and still not opaque, but sooooo pretty.
I did a top coat of Navy Shatter, because this shatter works best on blues. These shatters are not like the black one, they crackle more like the ones from china glaze, with long meshes. But the difference from China Glaze is that they are a lot less messier - I don't know if your Crackle Glaze does this but mine, just dries off at the neck of the bottle and when I open it I am left with a lot of crackle crumbs next to the bottle. Don't know if you understood any of that.
Anyway here are the photos.
