Honk if you love OPI - DS Original

Honk if you love OPI is from the Touring America collection
A gorgeous blackened berry
I free handed some sadly misshapen v french tips and my ring finger with DS Origional
I love blackened shades like this where you can easily in any light tell the color but it's so very deep and vampy still
I used 2 coats of Honk if you <3 OPI and one of DS Original
Vampy and holo is a favorite combo for it they just compliment the best parts of each other
I feel silly saying every single time that the formula is great so with OPI I will just let you know if I ever get one that sucks. (^o^)
This is a busy season for me so I'll do my best to post and update as much as possible.
Just remember that I adore you all and miss you much and you can always DM me on Twitter or FaceBook.
*Smooches*

OPI has got THE Blues

I had the urge for blue the other day so I grabbed
Nicole by OPI It's not me it's Blue and OPI Road house Blues from the Touring America Collection
I was feeling polk a doty so I played with contrasting dots on all my fingers
I just used my smallest dotting tool and got a little random
Hmmmm....My ring finger has dots of It's not me it's blue all the way up the outer side but the lighting makes it hard to tel. :o(
I love how this turned out, it's subtle but fun
Road House Blues is a beautiful deep blue cream and It's not me it's blue looks purple in the bottle but once on the nail you see the blue base with silver and pink metallic shimmer. Both are gorgeous and great formula's
I think these two blues are perfect together.
You can't possibly feel blue wearing these!
P.S. Just a note to say when I removed this I had NO smurf murder hands and not a bit of staining!

Vieux Carre OPI - A French Quarter for your thoughts

Vieux Carre  is creole, it means the old quarter (referring to the French Quarter)
Hubby being a NOLA boy reacted to the color with "why is it gray". lol
If you've ever been to New Orleans Louisiana then you know why
he found it odd, all of New Orleans is so full of color it's almost too much, but not.
I think it's intended more to be the beautiful old stone work buildings and the famous cemeteries that
this color is representing. I like it no matter.
French Quarter for your thoughts is a nice granite gray creme from the OPI touring America collection
 
And when I mentioned the French Quarter Hello Kitty insisted on coming along
( the fabulous HK decals were sent to me by my sweetheart Jerlene aka MusicalHouses from a funtabulous Blog- Of Faces and Fingers )
And to compliment HK I took a tiny bit of clear polish in a mixing cup and added a tiny bit of my Beach Party eyeshadow and did the very tips plus my ring finger over FQfyT.
The formula is very nice and smooth with good pigment so it is very nearly opaque on the first coat
I can't say that this is unique but if you are looking for a nice gray I would recommend picking this up because the formula is a bit better than several grays I have.
Thank you Jerlene for the Hello Kitty decals, they are almost as adorable and sweet as you!

Do we have our favorites from this collection yet? I have a couple but I'm not absolute on my must haves yet.

OPI A Color to Diner for

This is a gorgeous shade from OPI's Touring America Fall 2011 collection
I know most people describe it as a berry, or wine and in the bottle it kind of is...on me it's a gorgeous red that when the light hits the fuchsia shimmer turns to a lovely red wine shade.
See now it looks more wine toned and the hidden shimmer peeks out
I added a little of the mylar flaky glitter from Born Pretty Store to my ring finger
I just sprinkled it over while my top coat was wet and then added another coat.
You can find the flakies here
The formula was OPI's normal perfectly smooth applying and opaque in 2 coats formula
I wish the sun had been out so I could better show of the hidden shimmer
For me this is a perfectly fun red and I kind of like that it looks different on my skin tone.
