Twinsie Tuesday: Discontinued Polish

This weeks Twinsie Tuesday edition is of a discontinued polish.


How does someone really know if a polish has been discontinued or not? Me, eh. I wouldn't know. But anywho, I hope you enjoy this polish!




This OPI Jewel Of India. It is from the OPI 2000 Far East Collection. This is probably one of my favorite OPI polishes. It's so beautiful! I really love this color. It is a berry, rose color with with a purple shimmer. I hope you can see the shimmer, it was hard to catch since I took these photos with artificial light because the sun wouldn't come out and play. But this is 2 coats and it was super easy to apply.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this post. Seriously, is there a site where we can know it it's a discontinued polish or if it's on the HTF list?

I Have A Herring Problem

This is one of the newest polishes that I bought. It's actually from the last haul that I just posted. First, I didn't want to do a swatch because I feel like there are so many swatches. Then again, when aren't many swatches? So here it is! OPI I Have A Herring Problem.



I tried to get as close as it could to be accurate. But can I just say, THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! I was sort of debating if I should buy this or not because it looked like just a pale blue with tiny micro silver shimmer. But when I swatched it on my nails, it's definitely a true gem. I Have  A Herring Problem is from OPI's Holland collection for Spring 2012. It's a dusty blue-ish grey with very finely milled micro silver, gold, blue shimmers. The finish almost seems like a glass fleck than shimmer. Regardless, this is such a beautiful color! I really hope you are able to see the different colors in the shimmer. Because when I was able to see it, it completely changed my mind. I am so glad that I purchased this!

This was applied with 2 coats. With one coat it was a little sheer. Two coats was semi-opaque but good enough for me. The formula was as smooth as butter and applied easily. It dried fairly quick. I am super impressed with this. So what do you think?

I just wanted to share this too. While I do my nails and I am blogging, this is what he does:

He has his own little desk.

So are you planning to pick this up or any other polishes from the Holland collection?

Matte OPI Road House Blues

Hello! I hope you're having a good weekend so far! Today, I decided to mess around with Elf’s Matte Finisher Nail Polish and this is what I came up with. This is my first time with any sort of matte finish with ny nails and I am really enjoying this mani. I hope you will too!


I used OPI's Road House Blues. One of the new polishes in my collection. It looks like a super navy dark blue but almost like an indigo violet. I did 2 coats of this and the application was as smooth as butter! I haven't used an OPI for a while and it really reminded me why I love OPI. It's like I have fallen in love all over again! I also added the rhinestones because I felt as thought it were a tiny bit boring. So just a bit of femininity and something to catch the eye. Well, I hope you enjoy this post! Have a great rest of the weekend!


Do you think matte is in or out?

Birthday Gift

Thanks to my dear sister, she purchased me these lovely OPI polishes. I received a few other gifts as well. But I am super excited to try these out! I swatched all of these on a nail wheel but the pictures just would not capture the true beauty of the polishes. So, if you wanna see swatches on my nails please feel free to let me know!


Do you have any "gotta have" OPI polishes at the moment?
