My Absolute Favorite Nail Polish!

Hi Beauties,

I'm sorry I've been long for so long. I've been going through some life changes (good ones, thank God) and I've just had a hard time updating the blog. 

Anyway, along with my makeup collection, I have a weakness for nail polish. I realized last week when I went in for my manicure/pedicure that I have an absolute Favorite Nail Polish. It is OPI Pink Flamingo.

It is a rich and creamy vibrant pink. Everytime, I visit my nail salon I feel the other pinks appear not-worthy. LOL

Here's a photo I found online. Gorge!

Do you have a favorite color?

Dell Computers Partners with OPI Nail Polish!

Hi Beauties!

News Break:
Dell Computers and OPI have partnered to create an array of very fashion-forward color options for the Mini, Inspiron and Studio laptops, through Dell's Design Studio. Currently the plan is to have 26 colors available (including 20 classic colors and 6 from the Holiday Collection).

As beauty-slaves we already know how fabulous OPI nail polishes are and now your computers can be as equally trendy and colorful. The launch will happen in the USA first and later in other countries.

I think this is so cool and I wish I needed a new computer right now!

XOXO,

Nail Candy: OPI and Misa

Hi Beauties,

I haven't posted nails in a while but here's 3 polishes to make up for lost time.

***I've seen a lot of the nail addicts online talking about the MISA nail polish color and decided to try them out for myself.

MISA On The Edge is what I describe as a true royal blue. The color is a creme finish and is very highly pigmented. This color could work as 1 coat but the second coat makes it's a notch better. The consistency is in my opinion a but runny but nothing that you can't manage. Overall for the price it is a decent color to add to my collection. In the summer, I will surely apply this on my toes.

MISA Forbidden Lust is a shimmery raspeberry/purple color. The color is very pretty and for someone who normally would stay away from shimmer finishes, I like it. The application was also runny and a bit hard to work with. But again, for the price of these polishes it's not a bad deal. The coverage is average, 2 coats is a must. It was hard to get a good photo but here it is:

OPI Time-Less Is More is such a beautiful marshmellow color. The finish is creamy and I could see this color working for anyone. The application was phenomenal as is the case with most of the OPI colors. The coverage is light and therefore 2 to 3 coats are needed. In my photo, I have 3 coats on and you can still see some of the white. But I do love it anyway and I see myself going for this color when I'm in a 'neutral' mood.

Let me know if you like these or if you already own these.

XOXO,

OPI : South Beach Collection "Done Out In Deco"

Hi Beauties,

So I did an OPI nail polish haul recently on the South Beach Collection. Attached is a photo of the first polish I used : Done Out In Deco. It is a soft lavender color and it looks sooo nice on! I received at least 5 compliments from the girls at work this week!

So here it is. This is a great color and I think it would look awesome on medium, tan, olive and dark skin gals.
