Nicole by OPI - Kim-pletely in Love...nubbins and all

Well, I hunted this polish down like a pro. I got the last one my Wal-Mart had. And while I do like it, because it is work appropriate and all, it didn't photo worth beans for me.
Unfortunately, I photoed my left hand - it's way easier for me....so avert your eyes. This level of nail carnage is only for the strong hearted.
It's....so.....gross. I hate you nubbin!!!!
I know the cool thing about this pink is that there is blue shimmer running through it, but for some reason, mine is all stuck to the side of the bottle. Maybe it had been laying there for a while. Either way I'm glad I got this bad boy for my stash. It will be well used when I'm working I'm sure.

butter London Wallis

Polish? Finally? Yes - it's true. I finally have a swatch for you. I got 3 butter London's yesterday, and this is the infamous Wallis. It's golden army green wonderness.


I hadn't had many experiences with this brand except for No More Waity Katie, which I hated and swapped immediately. I'm a believer now though. This is three coats.

BAAM - right handed! Which is why it's messier than normal, which isn't much better I'll admit. 
I'm really enjoying this - I also got The Black Knight and Tart with a Heart, and I can't wait to photo them. After this, I put a whole bunch more on my wishlist. I can't justify paying $17 a polish very often.

OPI Super Bass Shatter over Pink Friday

Ello, I had a major, major nail fail today. I broke off half of my middle nail - no kidding, it's half. I'm trying to figure out how to swatch it (since my right hand is usually messier and has a short ring fingernail), but luckily I photo'ed this before the epic break.
I didn't take a picture of Pink Friday on it's own - mostly because it looked awful on me! I'm too pale for it. Now if it was summer, and I had my tan, it might have been another story. It just wasn't working for me. The problem I have is I like it a lot under the shatter. Decisions, decisions.
This is making me miss my nail :(  It's bizarre enough for me to have them. That's why I got into nail polish, because I'm a compulsive nail biter/cuticle picker. On the flip side, I hate it when I chip them. So if I don't bite them, they don't chip, and the look pretty for longer.
This nail turned out the best - I used a thicker coat, which I prefer. I'm so cranky now, I just got a whole lot of new polish I wanted to swatch too!

Nerd Lacquer Event Horizon

I...love...nerd lacquer. I'll say it loud and I'll say it proud. Seems like a lot of people do too, because I haven't been able to place my next order because all of the polishes I want are sold out! I'm persistent though, so I'll be watching out for the next restock.
This is the lovely, dark, sparkly wonder called Event Horizon. It's a blackened teal with major glitter.


It's funny that I fancy myself a nerd, but I don't like regular nerdy things - sci fi being one of them. But I can appreciate the thought and cleverness of some of the polish names. I'm lemming the Monty Python Set quite badly. Anyway, back to this polish!


I do love it...however I bought Nebula, the sister polish that's burgundy, and I think I like it more. I'll show it off soon, I promise!
