Twinsie Tuesday: Oldest Untried

Ever sat around at work and wondered why no one commented on your post? And come to find out, it never even posted? Well, that happens to me quite often unfortunately.

This weeks theme is our longest untried. And for this, I know I had to run to my favorite all time brand, OPI. OPI polishes are the first polishes that I started out with, so that made it easier. Anywho, onto the swatch!

OPI It's All Greek To Me. It's almost metallic-ky. Eh. Definitely not one of my favorites but it's one of my longest untrieds! So I hope you enjoyed this swatch!

By the way, do any of you have Mozilla Firefox but it won't upload any of your pictures? What do you do?

Sky High

Hello Friday!

Did anyone order any polishes from Pretty & Polished yesterday? Unfortunately I missed both. BOO! It's ok. I must save up for the China Glaze Bohemian collection that's suppose to be coming out sometime this month. So much for "No Buy July".

In the mean time, this is what I have for you today!

This little baby right here was so hard to photograph!!! I hate those kinds of polishes that just do not come out correctly in the pictures. They are a pain!

Ok, you see the third picture, that's exactly what it looks like in real life on the nails. Isn't that just gorgeous?! In the 2 photos above, you think it looks like just another plain metallic-foil'ish blue. But no, no it's not! This is truly a gem.

Color Club Sky High was perfectly opaque in 2 coats. The formula was smooth and perfect. I also picked up another bottle from this collection. Hopefully it's just as beautiful.

Have you picked up or want to pick up any of these from the Take Wing collection?

Smoldering

Only a month and half of school left. I am totally ready for summer break!

Well, happy Monday sort of. Today, I have a new polish that I just purchased over the weekend at Ulta when they had their 40% off sale. So here it is Revlon Smoldering.

Smoldering is is like a metallic-chrome frost with a grey base. It has swirls of really fine, foily shimmer. The picture do no justice but at different angles, you are able to see like the hints or teal/green and sometimes even pink. In real life, it is so much prettier! This was 3 coats. 2 would have been ok but my husband suggested 3 so I did that, which I barely ever do. The formula was not too thick or runny. Just perfect!

So what do you think of Smoldering? Do you own it?

Zoya Reece

I have this lovely color for you to see today!! I feel in love with this as soon as I saw it. Reece can be described as a "rose.muave metallic duochrome. A frosty hint of gold creates a unique 'oil-slick' rose-gold look."

Hopefully you can see the metallic finish in this. It is just so very lovely. The picture does this polish no justice. It's so much prettier in real life. I used 2 coats. One coat would've been ok but 2 coats is just perfect. I currently have this on my toes right now and I absolutely love it! It probably has to be one favorite polishes right now.

I don't know if it's just me, but I don't polish my toes in the winter because it's always covered up but now that Spring and Summer is around the corner, I have to polish them. Not only that, but I'm the kind of person where my pedicure HAVE TO match my manicure. Are any of you like that?

What do you think of the rose-gold metallic finish?
