This is Nicole (NOPI) Nicole's Nickel. It has micro and small hex glitter in the same shade of nickel, in a gray jelly base. Hopefully this will match most of my outfits this week. I found it about 6 months ago on clearance at Target - maybe it was limited edition? This is my first time wearing it and I really like it on nubs. Two thick coats with Seche Vite QD top coat. Still a little gritty. Removing it will be interesting!
Thanks for lookin'!

Love&Beauty Peach + peachy glitter
I was very pleased with this Forever 21 Love&Beauty Peach. It will be replacing my Revlon Peach Nectar, which has a crappy, streaky formula.
Topped with NYX Girls Dreamy Glitter
I haven't posted in ages for multiple reasons: I was working on a business venture that didn't pan-out, depression from that, the holidays, then just feeling uninspired. I'm not a witty or humorous writer either. The thing that got me going again was the addition of two new followers and a comment from an old post. Thanks!

Lynnderella Mysterious Ways
This is my first official Lynnderella manicure. I was craving something more feminine and delicate and this fits. This is three coats. Yes, it's very sheer, and I like that!
Unfocused, to capture the holographic goodness.
It is slightly more lavender than these pictures convey.
Thanks for lookin'!

Untried #4: Another $OPI mini + Icing Force of Love
A beautiful teal shimmer from $OPI. Sorry, I don't have the name!
This is really quite pretty and deserves to be
worn on it's own.
But I layered over it two coats of Icing Force of Love,
the DL dupe of Across The Universe.
Thanks for lookin'!

Untried #3: $OPI orange-based red creme mini
I'm glad I'm going through my untrieds. I've discovered some polishes I really like, that I had dismissed in the past. Here is a an orange-based red creme. I love this, especially on shorter nails.
Sorry, I don't have the name!

Untrieds, Day 2: $OPI mini and Nubar 2010
I was pleasanly surprised with this $OPI mini. Sorry, I don't have the name. I threw out the package, not knowing the names aren't on the little bottles. It's such a nice steel-gray blue with some shimmer.
Three coats. This will be a nice base color for
stamping white and silver snowflakes.
Warning: Tip wear and dry cuticles ahead!
Then, I layered Nubar 2010 and mattified it.
Thanks for lookin'!

Trying the untrieds, Day 1.
I feel a little sheepish. I've been accumulating polishes like mad, and now have realized I have 51 untrieds! (and I have 6-7 on the way!) From this point in time, I will not buy any more polish until I've gone through ALL of my untrieds and posted them here. So here is Day 1:
This is 2-3 coats of L'Oreal Raven's Dream (from their recent fall collection). It goes on streaky/patchy like all pale pinks seem to do for me. I don't really know why I bought it because I have so many pale pinks! This is topped with Wet n Wild fastdry Correction Tape. This is a fun glitter. I like the combination of small hex and square glitters. It makes me think of a birthday party.
