Clear vanish and white pencil underneath my nails.
Deborah Lippmann “Bad Romance”!
Sephora by OPI’s Metro Chic. Wednesday I’m starting Christmas-y polishes beginning with China Glaze’s Midnight Kiss layered with Party Hearty. 🙂
China Glaze – Swing Baby
Not OPI!!!
(China Glaze Peace on Earth)
OPI Miami Beet!
I’m so excited to be wearing it, I bought it a while ago but I was too busy to paint my nails then.
I’d been searching for the perfect berry-beet colour and I saw this in the bottle and thought it’d be too light but I bought it anyways and I’m so glad I did!
It’s perfect 🙂
Lol this was a mini rave but I only got a bit over three hours of sleep last night so I’m a little out of it. Ooops, hehe.
Miami Beet is great, definitely in my rotation. For once, an OPI name is half-descriptive: the Beet part. 🙂
Dior 108 with OPI Stars In My Eyes as top coat.
An Affair in Red Square by OPI… aka the perfect shimmery Christmas red! I clipped my nails short and put on a coat of OPI Ridge Filler, two coats of the polish, and then the Seche Vite top coat, and it looks fab. 🙂
OPI’s berry blast!
I’m wearing Riva too!!
Model’s Own-Purple Grey topped with Barry M- Dusty Mauve… Homemade Paradoxal <3
Revlon Perplex! My new obsession 😀
Ah! So jealous!! I can’t find this aaanywhere, and I’ve been to 3 Walgreens and 2 Wal-Marts!! Going to 2 more Wally Worlds today and 3 more Walgreens.. Fingers crossed! 😀
I need that polish. hehe
Essie’s Poor Lil Rich Girl!
A patchwork manicure with Chanel Paradoxal and two other drugstore nail polishes (can’t remember their names, but it’s a steely metallic gunmetal grey and a dark, shimmery purple).
I’m just doing my nails right now:
Revlon Sheer Nude mixed with Reflects gold
French tip of Milani’s French Toast
Milani’s Gold Glitter Nail Art Brush half way up the nail
Soon to be: added 3D Gold Glitter at the tips plus rhinestones
NARS Midnight Express with Deborah Lippmann Across the Universe on my ring fingers as accent nails 🙂 The formula on both of these is insane they’ve lasted almost a week with just tip wear!! (not by choice, just haven’t had the time to do a new mani)
Sounds awesome! Across the Universe is gorgeous, great idea to use it for accent nails.

I didn’t like it as I was applying it, but after it dried (with Out The Door as a topcoat) it dried very nicely. We’re on day 3, still super shiny and no chips. I think I have been converted.

Orly Haute Red
Jolly Holly layered with Party Hearty!
Woodstock by Urban Decay (from the Summer of Love nail kit)
I’m gonna change it today though
I’m curious to know how UD polishes hold up. I just bought that set as a stocking stuffer for one of my girls. Does it last?
I don’t have the Summer of Love kit yet (been waiting an entire month for it to come in the mail D:) but I have to say the polishes in the Apocalyptic kit don’t have the best wear time. Application is great and they have really nice brushes but I get chips after the first day or so. I’ve heard the summer of love is a little better but still not the best.
Essie Ballet Slippers. It’s perfect. I needed something soft and neutral after wearing China Glaze Atlantis (Glitter) for a few days.
Bare nails right now, but ready to try Diddy Mow as soon as the dishes are done.

Orly Galaxy Girl 😀
NUBAR! Foundation base coat , Toga Purple (from the Cleopatra colection)and Diamond Seal and Shine top coat

I’m wearing a (really bad) water marble with OPI Plugged in Plum and Sally Hansen Yellow Kitty.
Revlon Creme Brulee on my nails 🙂 I needed something fast that I didn’t have to worry about being super obvious once it chipped!
