Twinsie Tuesday: Something New

Ever just have a bad swatch day? That was definitely me. My nails just didn't want to cooperate. Horrific. I kept smudging everything. It took forever to dry. Just a bad day. On top of that, I couldn't get a good picture. Someone tell me I'm not the only one who gets this?

Anywho, Somethine NEW! This was gifted to me recently from my older sister and I'm really enjoying this shade. So instead of something actually new, I wanted to do this one a little differently. Hopefully you enjoy my interpretation!

You know I love my OPI's. This is Berry Berry Broadway. A gorgeous bronzed berry shimmer. These are my kind of polishes. Not a creme but not too in-your-face type of polish. This is 2 coats. Unfortunately I kept bumping into everything it was just bad. None the less, I love this polish!

Have you done any polish hauls lately?

Friday Nite Parti

I hope all you lovelies are having a great weekend!

So originally, I am suppose to be posting my PCOS awareness post but somewhere, somehow my pictures are missing. And that really sucks because I spent a good amount of time working on it. However, if you are interested in learning about what PCOS, my Twinsie Nory, she blogged about, and you can check it out here. There are also other Twinsies' that are participating in this awareness, so please be sure to check it out!

This is my very first Barielle swatched and I have to admit that I am not too impressed.

This was 2 weird, smooth and creme-y coats. It was sort of goopy which made it a bit hard to apply. It was somewhat manageable but the outcome, meh. Not quite worth it.

Barielle Friday Nite Parti is a vampy muted berry wine color. I personally think it's a great transition between summer and fall. But who am I say since I don't follow the trends. 

I do admit that the color is very pretty but one that is unique.

What do you think of this?

Also, I apologize for my lack of posts this past month as I have only posted 13x's. That is totally not normal but I am catching up! So thanks for patience and loyalty!

Grin & Berry It

This is Ulta Grin & Berry It. What a weird name. I wonder what it means.

This is indeed my go-to color right now. I love the wine-berry'ish color. The purple shimmer is so subtle and beautiful. It was hard capturing it in daylight but the way it is in the flash it how visible it is in real life. I love the way it sits on my nails.

The formula and pigmentation were great. Very smooth and opaque in 2 coats. I have heard a few people having problems with the Ulta brand but I have always come across the goods. Maybe I've been lucky! If so, I hope my luck doesn't run out!

Well, I hope you all have a great weekend!

What's your go-to wine color?

Color To Diner For

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

I was going to blog this morning but didn't feel like it too much. So it's around 10PM right now and here I am!

Today I have a polish from the OPI Touring America collection. I actually didn't even know it was from that collection. But here is Color To Diner For. This was 2 opaque coats. This color is a berry leaning red with tiny gold/copper shimmer in it. I am beginning to notice that a lot of OPI polishes have this golden shimmer in it but doesn't transfer well onto the nails. Which is a little disappointing. None the less, it's a beautiful color. I just wished that the shimmer were more pronounced as the nails as it obvious in the bottle.

What do you think?

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?
