OPI swatches

Hey Guys

So on my blog today are a few swatches of some of my OPI nail polish.

I am quite ashamed to admit that i have not really used these much. Swatching them here kinda made me realize how pretty they are.

first up we have Lucky Lucky Lavender.

This is so pretty, i want to say it is a soft pink but it is slightly more pastel purple mixed with pink. it is very very pretty!! so soft and girly.this is two coats just over my natural nail.

up next we have Alpine Snow.

this is just a plain white polish. in this photo i have again used 2 coats over my natural nail and as you can see it is so smooth and streak free. this is such a pretty white on it's own and also perfect to use for under nail art.

next is Did It On 'Em.

I love this colour. i got it from  friend and i must admit when i first got it i was not 100% sure on it. its just such an add colour. it is kind of neon yellow but also neon green but then it is actually more a mustard to me its so weird but really pretty. when i first painted my nails with it my partner, who doesn't notice nail polish at all, was like "oh i like that colour". it is just such a eye catcher. again this was two coats over my natural nail.

now we have I'm Suzy And I'm A Chocoholic

this is such a strong but pretty colour. the photo doesn't really do it justice it is more maroon than the photo shows. it is a deep, dark, maroon red. so so cool and quite a statement colour. this to is 2 coats over my natural nail.

and lastly we have Gargantuan Green Grape

this is such a cool colour because it is just off white. when you look at it, it is definitely a very soft candy floss sort of green. it is so soft and just enough colour to make it look 'not white'. it reminds me off green mint milkshake or something. and again this is 2 coats over my natural nail.

all up i am really happy with these, they are so soft and creamy and such a dream to apply. i have a few more OPI polishes that ill post up soon but they are all liquid sand.

i also have a few of my sinful colors swatches up here

let me know if you guys like these sort of posts of prefer nail art and makeup??

sinful colors swatches

Hey Guys

so i spent a bit of my night doing some polish swatches and trying to sort out silly admin stuff for the blog.

here are my swatches though*

i bough most of these when i was in South Africa for a holiday and then was very excited to see them here in New Zealand.

it is Sinful Colors, i know you can buy them from clicks in South Africa and in New Zealand kmart and some pharmacy's stock them.

they are really reasonably priced and come in such a wide range of colors.

up first is Cinderella

on my pointer and middle finger it is 2 coats over my natural nails and then the ring and pinky finger is over ulta3 soft hydrangea.

it is such a pretty soft blue. it is slightly sheer and has iridescent gold and pink shimmer. soooo pretty!!!!

up next is mint apple

again my pointer and middle finger is 2 coats over my natural nail and ring and pinky finger is over ulta3 emerald inten-city.

this is a dusty green but it has gold an silver iridescent glitter in it. you can kinda see it on my pinky!!!

i forgot how pretty this one is.

up next is cupids arrow.

this is one of my go to polishes. again my pointer and middle finger is 2 coats over my natural nail and then ring and pinky finger is over ulta3 lily white.

i love this because it is kinda a sheer pink purple. its really sheer after 1 coat but after 2 it does build up quite a bit. i did a sandwich manicure with this and it was perfect.

next up is nirvana

this is just 2 coats over all my nails.

this is such a perfect brown. like so so creamy and pretty. and it is very opaque in 2 coats.

next up is gorgeous

this one reminds me of a mermaid. again my pointer and middle finger is 2 coats on natural nail and middle  and pinky is over rimmel do not disturb.

its such a pretty metallic blue/ green.

and lastly for today is blue by you.

this is my favorite for the post today. its just soooooo pretty. its a little bit brighter than a royal true blue but also has a green/ turquoise fine shimmer. again this is 2 coats on my natural nail on my pointer and middle finger and then ring and pinky is over ulta3 blue marlin, it really doesnt need the base coat. it is opaque in 2 coats.

hope you guys enjoyed seeing some of my swatches. do you guys like seeing posts like this?
