OPI DS Reflection

OPI DS "Reflection" - 2 Coats
It was pretty much unanimous that everyone preferred my Canon (point-and-shoot) photographs compared to my Nikon D90 (DSLR)... but I HAD to use the D90 for "Reflection". Reds are so hard to accurately capture. The Canon really saturated the color of this polish. It looked bright, neon magenta! Is was totally off! So here is "Reflection" seen through the Nikon:
Don't mind my corpsey complexion. We will just pretend that I intended on my hands looking this way in the spirit of Halloween! ;) I plan on experimenting more with my white balance so I can get a more natural color in my hands!

Those flakes are holographic! (I know, you can't tell. Use your imagination!)
Thanks for stopping by :)

OPI- Funny Bunny

OPI 27 comments

OPI "Funny Bunny"

I bought this color because A) I needed another white, as my bottle was beginning to run low... and B) It was on sale. Little did I know, this white is the opposite of opaque. I really hated it at first... but like they all do, it grew on me. My opinion of it now: it's a cool, milky white. Ghostly kinda... It would be good for a Halloween themed manicure! 
This is 3 coats:

Below are 2 photos of the same thing. I can't decide whether I like the photos I get with my Canon or the ones from my Nikon better...? 

[ABOVE] With my Canon, it's so much easier and faster to take pictures. I just point and shoot... but sometimes the photos are distorted (from photographing too close) and my skintone looks too red. I'm "olive" toned...
[BELOW] My Nikon lets me focus on objects closest to me and blur everything that recedes into the background. This is my favorite effect in photographs! :) BUT my skintone is off in these, as well. I look pale! 

I thought I'd see what you guys like better! Let me know :)

Essie- Playa Del Platinum

Essie "Playa Del Platinum"
Here is another neutral shade from Essie. I wasn't immediately a huge fan of this color but it grew on me... So then do I like it? Yes. Yes, I do like it :)
Have any of you ever taken a pottery/ceramics class? I did back in college (a few years ago).... and this polish reminded me a lot of the color my hands would look when the water/clay mixture dried to my skin.
I can't remember how many coats this was... either 2 or 3. I found it easy to work with and the wear was normal. An advantage of the color being so light is that tip-wear is barely noticeable. You could probably get by wearing this polish a couple days longer than usual. 
TGIF! :)

OPI- My Private Jet

OPI 26 comments

OPI "My Private Jet"

Here is the version I have! I don't think this one has the charcoal base like some do. It looked very similar in color to "You Don't Know Jacques"... Anyways, it does have that green flash that I've seen people mention [shown in the photo below]. It also has scattered holographic specs, minus the rainbow effect. This version is to the Original "My Private Jet" as DS "Extravagance" is to DS "Exclusive". Get it? :)

I still like it though...

I wonder how many versions actually exist...? At the beauty supply store last weekend, I saw one that was more charcoal in color with larger, but less, holographic pieces. I almost bought it but I really don't wear this one enough as it is!

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your day... Mine has started off well. It finally feels like fall around here. The leaves are turning red and there's not a cloud in the sky. Ahhh. So relaxing :)
