Hey guys! Today’s nails are a shimmery white by Wet n Wild Megalast topped with an opalescent bar glitter from Sephora by OPI.
Swatches after the break…

Hey everyone! Today I’m wearing one of the first OPI polishes I ever bought: Sand in My Suit. This light tan nude with silvery shimmer is from OPI’s 2009 South Beach Spring/Summer Collection. Four years later and I still love it! This is two easy coats.

What’s the oldest nail polish you own?
Today I’m wearing one of Funky Fingers solar polishes called Partly Cloudy. Indoors it’s a bright blue-leaning teal and when you go outside it turns into a dusty teal.

I was a bit disappointed with the color change because on the cap of the bottle it makes it seem like it’s going to turn from bright blue to gray and that is definitely not the case, but overall I still like it. The formula was good and it only needed two coats. Funky fingers are available at Five Below. I can’t remember how much this was but I do know their regular polishes are 3 for $5 and the solar ones were a tad bit more expensive.
Mermaid’s Dream is one of the best polishes ever in my book (top 20 for sure). It’s a seafoam green shimmer sprinkled with royal blue glitter. It’s opaque in two coats but it is kinda gritty so I did two coats of top coat.
This is a throwback from the Up and Away collection. It’s a bright, nearly neon kelly green creme. None of these pics are spot on, its much brighter and greener in person. I did three thin coats but you could probably get away with two.

China Glaze Secret Periwinkle is one of my all time favorite polishes. It’s a light, not quite pastel blurple creme and the formula is perfection. Here it is on its own (OPI Crown Me Already on ring finger):
Here it is layered under Finger Paints Paparazzi (a sheer light blue, teal, and lavender glitter) and Rimmel London Violet Metal on the ring finger.
Navigate Her is from Essie’s Spring 2012 collection. It’s not quite as bright as it appears in these pics its more of a muted sage/pistachio color. I love this color and its perfect for spring but the formula COULD be better. It was really thick and annoying.
Royal Cloak is a deep blue based purple with silver flakies. The flakies don’t show up as much on the nail as they do in the bottle but its still pretty awesome. This is a great color for fall. I was also really impressed with the formula. In my past experiences with Revlon nail polishes, I found them to be really runny, but this was perfection. The pics below are two coats with a top coat of seche vite.
I originally went into Icing to get some of their magnetic polishes and I just happened to see these and decided to get them too since I don’t have anything similar in my collection. My Date with a Royal is a dusty royal blue packed with silver shimmer. This is two coats with no top coat:
After Party is a multi-colored glitter of random shapes and sizes in a clear base. There’s orange, pink, green, blue, gold, and silver. The shape of the glitter kind of reminds me of shards of broken glass. After Party has the irregular shapes that flake polishes have with the sparkliness that you see in regular glitter. It dries a lit smoother than I expected it to, but it can be a hassle to remove. The foil method is gonna be your best bet. This polish is definitely in my top ten. The first pic below is one coat over My Date with a Royal and the rest are two with a coat of seche vite.
