Feeling all Warm & Fozzie with OPI

OPI's  Muppets Collection is one I was so excited about and I am not at all disappointed!

This manicure is OPI Warm & Fozzie with accent finger and tips in OPI Nevermore from the Go Goth 2010 Halloween set.

Browns do not work on me but this I can manage.

OPI description is : Warm & Fozzie A feel-good shade of metallic copper.

But it's so much more than that, there are flecks of rose toned copper and bronze and and gold.

If you fear the browns this is really one worth trying

Warm & Fozzie is metallic shades of fallen leaves crammed into a liquid perfect

You can see that the more jewel tone of it does not make my tone look dirty like poo brown does and the royal purple tone of Nevermore just cools it down enough for me to love it

What do you think...giant win?

More Muppet love to come!

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!

Hello from Kitty

My beautiful Swedish Sister from another Mother Feline sent me a goody package....

(I know you read her blog & if not you are missing out huge, see it here )

(Silver Kitty & Kitty Princess)

Feline feeds my poor little girl who could buy Hello Kitty goodies and so now as an Adult must have ALL Sanrio pretties!

I went a little FUNky on this one because it was for my middle daughters birthday and well she's ummmm...rather blingtastic. lol

I did 2 coats of Kitty Princess, 2 coats of Silver Kitty on my ring finger then tipped them in the opposite.

I used a mini straw dipped in silver kitty for the "rings" and the tip of the brush to dot my ring finger.

Kitty Princess is so sweet, it is a perfect baby pink creme with heavy metallic silver flecks

My little Rane loved it and I ended up doing her toes to match my nails

Stay tuned for a ton more Hello Kitty polish and some gorgeous Swedish polish too!

Giant hugs and smooches to my beautiful Feline, you spoil me so!

China Glaze Metallic Crackle Glaze Skittles

I thought crackle skittles would be fun on my new mini nails

The China Glaze Metallic Crackles are such fun colors

Right to left, top to bottom: Latticed Lilac, Haute Metal (My favorite), Cracked medallion, Platinum Pieces and Tarnished gold

Tarnished gold up close

I did this a little thicker to get wider cracks

These give a lighter application so you can do a subtle crackle finish or apply thicker for serious crackle

I really like these, they are more versatile than most crackles since they are sheer if you apply lightly.

I did Haute Metal over a baby pink on my youngest and it gave a nice subtle crackle...of coarse she then picked at it until I couldn't get a picture. (She's 3 so not the best model choice)

Overall, Application is very nice, dry time is excellent and formula is awesome.

The crackle trend is being beaten to death but if you haven't tried any I think the metallics are my top pick!

China Glaze Metallic Crackle glaze- Oxidized Aqua

China Glaze new Metallic Crackle collection is 6 shades of metallic crackle fun!

Oxidized Aqua is well, a metallic aqua. :o)

The metallic look of this crackle gives it cool effect....aged almost

It dries quickly and you can make a finer cracked look by using a thin coat or wider, heavier cracks by using a thicker coat

I like it without top coat but if you want a smoother shiny finish top oat works great over it

I think I might do crackle skittles! :o)

Zoya Sunshine & Summertime - Tanzy

I had a wild need for orange nails so what other choice did I have...

Tanzy is an orange gold metallic duotone

3 coats to my opaque happy place

I added a little pink and gold leopard spot decal by request of my youngest

I love the application on these, it's closer to a glass fleck in application so very easy to work with

Yes I filed my nails a little....it's summer and I'm busy so this is an easy length

Zoya has really got me hooked on their bright fun metallics

Orange is not the best color on me but it's fun so who cares!

Zoya Sunshine & Summertime - Faye

Zoya...you made this one just for me didn't you?

Faye is a beautiful gilded purple with metallic sparks of copper and gold that shifts like crazy

This is 3 coats of nom

The formula is slightly thin but very easy to work with and very forgiving

Faye is a moody girl and she might be leaning toward a multiple personality, judging by her constantly

switching from soft and girly mauvey with copper shimmer to her bold purple base with exploding golden sparkle and then to a brownish shade with purple glint and gold and copper metal sparks.

This is a must have x100....trust me you need it!

Zoya Sunshine & Summertime - Rica

This one is from the Sunshine half of the Zoya Sunshine & Summertime collection.

The Sunshine set is 6 shimmery metallics

Zoya describes Rica as a shimmering Rose metallic

On me Rica is a metallic coral with strong orange to pink shift

See the pink/coral with the orange sparking through

This is not the best color for my skin but I'm going to wear it anyway because it's fab

Liquid Summer

So many beautiful colors in this one

this one shows more the "rose" tone

The last 3 pics are in shade

I used 3 coats and could have stopped at 2 but I'm special that way & I just wanted to see 3

Application was smooth and even with no issues to speak of.

I love the Sunshine set so much!

Zoya Intimate collection- Jules

Jules is a sparkling champagne gold metallic

I wish I could wear gold better because this truly is a lovely color

This is 3 coats of Jules with Poshe' top coat

Application is very nice for a metallic, smooth, a little sheer but builds well.

Removal is so much easier than most metallics....it comes of as easily as a creme!

OPI Katy Perry collection- The one that Got Away swatch

For some reason I had thought this was red...

Ummmm...it's not! lol

It's a shimmery, metallic fushia with a subtle purple flash

(note: do not try to use your seche vite when you know it needs to be thinned but you are to tired to go find the restore...you'll get shrinkage like this)

It's a bit sheer, this is 2 coats and I can see in the pictures that 3 would have been better.

I really like the color and the application was good so if you are limited on pink/fushia metallics I would say this one is worth picking up.
