Confetti - First Kiss

Good afternoon :)

Today it is extreeemely hot outside, and inside my house because we have yet to put in our air conditioner. Not complaining too much though because I have been waiting allll winter for this weather to finally arrive!

Today I have a Confetti polish to show you. I went on vacation to Myrtle Beach about a month ago, and found some great polishes that we don't have in Canada (as far as I know) and Confetti was one of them! And they were super cheap, which I liked even better.

I only grabbed one, and I am regretting not grabbing anymore! First kiss is a true bubble-gum pink polish with blue undertones. Application was okay, it took three coats to even everything out, but the wear on it was impressive for the price. I had this on for about a week and a half before it began to get any real chips.

I will be wearing this a lot through out the summer. It is a very common colour, but I really think it's the perfect pink polish for summer.

Do you guys have any favourite Confetti polishes?

Enjoy the rest of your day :)

OPI - Do You Think I'm Tex-Y?

 Hello everyone! :)

Today I have a polish from OPI's Texas Collection that was out this year. I'm sure you all have seen the shades, but this was one of my favourite colours. OPI tried fooling everyone with their new "sorbets" BUT we all know that that just means jelly. Not that I mind because I love jelly polishes!

Do You Think I'm Tex-Y is a dark pink, leaning towards purple jelly. It took around 4 coats to get rid of VNL, but the formula was fantastic, as is with most OPI polishes.

The top picture is the most accurate of the two, I think. It was hard to capture the exact colour!

What were your favourite's from the Texas collection?
Happy Polishing! :)

OPI - Meet Me on the Star Ferry

 Hey everyone!
Today I have a long time lemming I fulfilled last summer.. Meet Me on the Star Ferry! It's from OPI's Hong Kong collection. I'm not really sure why I was even wanting it because I'm not usually into frosty polishes. But this beauty.. it won me over. It was also sold out for the longest time everywhere around me.
I think the pink-gold foil combo fits everyone's skin tone. I love it!

In the pictures is two coats with a layer of Seche to top it all off.


Oooh, sparklies!



I know this collection is from so long, but do you have any favourites?
Happy polishing!

American Apparel - Peacock

I figured for my first actually polish post I would show
you one of my all time favourite colours - American Apparel Peacock!
This blue is so luscious and creamy. It's always a one-coater for me, and the formula is always so great.
I'm actually going to have to buy a back-up of it soon because it's running out!


This is one coat, with top coat and natural sun light. Another thing to love about this polish? This is almost a week. WITH NO TIP WEAR! Flawless.

What are your favourite AA polishes? Do you love Peacock as much as I do?
Have a great, sunny day :)

Hi!

Welcome!
This is my first nail polish blog, and I'm so excited. I've been an avid blog follower for almost 2 years now, and with my collection growing by the minute, I figured why not just start my own!

I won't be swatching new colours every time they come out, just what my funds allow. I will also be reviewing some of my previous favourites, too!

Enjoy,
Vanessa :)
