Pink Wednesday OPI DS Opulence

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to have my fiance offer to buy me something at Ulta. One of the things I picked up was this lovely, OPI DS Opulence. Now from my understanding, these are hard to find. Ive never seen them at the Ulta that I frequent...this happened to be at a new Ulta that opened up a few months ago that's about 40 mins from where I live.

Opulence is part of a collection called the Designer Series. All of these polishes contain diamond dust. The opi website calls it " Magnificent mauve
drenched in diamond". This is a beautiful semi holo polish and I keep putting my hand in the sunlight just to see the holos. You should go check your local Ultas. Mine only had a few more left, so I think I will be going back Friday to pick up the rest of them.

Pink Wednesday China Glaze Naked

I know you all are going to think I'm crazy but I changed my mani today. :) I confess, I went into Sally's today. My intention was to pick up Strawberry fields but that spot was empty and I saw another beautiful pink but it didnt have a barcode on the bottom. Well I bought it anyway and did some research when I got home to find out what color it is and it's Naked...

OMG...when I look at this color, I think of a hot barbie pink. It has the slightest shimmer. I think this will now be added to my favorites. I can see myself wearing this one a lot. Maybe in a few more days I might use my Hello Kitty plate and add a picture on my nail. You should go pick this one up for sure.

China Glaze Grape Juice

So this morning, I was sitting around thinking that it's time for me to change my polish and what do you know...i chose another purple. This time it's China Glaze Grape Juice. Now I love China Glaze. They have so many colors and I find myself always drawn to them everytime I go in Sally's...even if I'm not there for polish :). So on one of my trips to Sally's, I picked up Grape Juice. Grape Juice is from the Summer Days collection of 2009.

Can you say BEAUTIFUL! I really do have a thing for purples. It a beautiful purple with silver glitter. The formula is very easy to work with. This was two coats which is perfect. Now I'm off to go stare at my nails :) and possibly take a trip to Sally's to pick up some more China Glaze.

Zoya Zara

I know I know...it's been awhile since I made a post. Ive been a little busy because I just got a new job but I really wanted to come on here and talk about one of the polishes I bought during the recent Zoya promotion they had. The promotion was buy 1 Zoya(non spoon item) or Qtica product and get 2 polishes for free. Now this is one polish that Ive been wanting for the longest time now.

On the Zoya website Zara is described as "A vivid blue-toned light purple with strong golden duochrome shimmer." I am absolutely in love with this color.

I used 3 coats to achieve this look even though you can still see the VNL a little but I dont mind because I still think its pretty.I can really see the gold shimmer in the light. My Zoya collection is continuously growing and quite fast may I add. Check out Zoya because I know you will find a color...maybe a lot more :) that you like.

Toes of the Day: Julep Anne

Anne

Three weeks ago, I had never heard of Julep. Two weeks ago, I watched a Youtube video which had Julep polishes in it and I saw Anne and knew I had to have it. Julep is a nail salon that specializes in polishes, hand and foot care products. They recently started their website http://www.julep.com/ so we could enjoy the products as well. When you purchase polish off of the website, they donate $1 from each bottle to organizations that support women. How awesome is that? You buy a polish you want and support women. Its a win win situation.

Now I wont normally show my toes but, I just had to because this color is wonderful. The application was easy. I didnt have any trouble with the formula. I couldve done with only one coat but I normally do two so that's what I did. It looks like a neon purple without being a neon. This was just the right pop of color for my toes. Later on, I added white flowers on the big toes. I love the polish so much that I ordered another one in Maggie a few days ago and I received it today. Have you tried Julep polishes and if so which ones?
