My Jay or the Highway! Nicole by OPI Swatch

Happy Friday!
I bought a few new products last week so I thought I would swatch and review as I try them!

Here is My Jay or the Highway! from the Modern Family line by Nicole by OPI. It's a soft, warm mushroomy gray colour. In these pictures I'm wearing 2 coats, but it could probably do with 3. I also used Orly Bonder as a base coat and Seche Vite as a top coat.

The formula was nice and easy to work with and I really like this colour as a summer neutral. This was also my first time using Orly Bonder as a base so I will update on how it holds up! 

Stay pretty

Purple Swirls

I tried some nail strips, not sure how I feel about them. They look pretty cool but they were difficult to work with and only lasted a day before I peeled them off. The purple is OPI’s “A Grape Fit!” and the nail strips are some random brand called ANB. Anyone else had bad/mediocre experiences with nail appliques?

Christmas Dots

Just a quick festive mani. I wasn't super happy with the way it turned out and it got smudged after I took pictures :( I used OPI Alpine Snow, OPI Vodka and Caviar, Sephora by OPI Keep Me On My Mistletoes, and Revlon Emerald City.

Keep Me on My Mistletoes- Sephora by OPI

As promised, here is Sephora by OPI's Keep Me on My Mistletoes from the Glimmer Wonderland Collection. This is an opaque champagne gold with microglitter, and it is gorgeous! It’s neutral enough that it goes with anything and has just the right amount of sparkle. In these photos I am wearing 2 coats and a topcoat. I will definitely be wearing this over the holidays!


Unfortunately I haven't been able to post as much as I'd like to because of exams and work, but hopefully once things settle down I'll be posting more regularly. Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Cute Penguin Nails

Cute Penguin Nails

These penguin nails are perfect for chilly winter weather. Here’s what I used:
Orly Gumdrop (blue base)
OPI Alpine Snow (white)
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Black Out
Yellow Acrylic Paint (didn’t have my yellow polish with me!)

The body of the penguin was painted freehand and the rest was created using a dotting tool. Happy Sunday everyone!
