OPI Rainbow Connection

Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side? 

That song brings back sleep away camp memories. Anyone else go to sleep away camp growing up? It's funny I never wanted to leave home when I was younger, but I ended up loving going away to summer camp for a month. It was nice to hang out with down to earth kids having grown up around a lot of snooty to cool for school people. :P That was off topic. This OPI color from the The Muppets collection is awesome.

Rainbow Connection over China Glaze Holly-Day

 

Rainbow Connection is a mix of small and large hexagonal multicolored glitters in a clear base.

This is awesome. I have about every multicolored glitter under the sun, but this one is different. This has those massive hexagon glitters in there that the others don't have. If you're a glitter fan, this one will not disappoint.

Happy Monday!

Bottle Spam Saturday: Maybelline Edition

Maybelline won this week's bottle spam. I must say, Maybelline has really fallen flat over the past few years. As you'll notice, majority of my Maybelline collection are their older polishes from the 90's and early 00's. I wish they still made polishes like this. They have few good polishes in their newer collections, but a lot more misses than hits. Step it up Maybelline!

Be sure to vote for next week's bottle spam. I have added a new category "Random Grab". This is where I'll randomly grab 20 polishes from my stash, and that will make up the week's bottle spam.

 Peach Glimmer, Firefly, Into the Sunset, & Orange Blazes

 Red Aluminum, Red Comet, Heirloom Red, & Plum Potion

 Turquoise Seas, Cool Couture, Purple Aluminum, Zip Fly, & Goody Plum Drop

Colorama Rose n' Shine, Ruby Rays, Gives Me the Chills, & Frosty Pink


Happy Birthday to my Dad & Happy Saturday to you!

Orly Oui

I got this Orly beauty from the lovely Lakeisha at Refined and Polished. This one had been on my wishlist since I first laid eyes on it. I was really worried this would be another one of those Zoya Faye dupes or be a dupe to OPI It's My Year, but it's not! I love both of those polishes, and I love this one too. I guess I have some sort of thing for pinks and purples with intense gold shimmer .

Oui

Orly Oui is a medium purple base with an intense gold shimmer throughout.

I just love these colors! I love the purple base on this. The pigmentation of the purple is great. It's a nice balance between the purple and the shimmer. This is definitely a true purple, in comparison to the other shades that are more rosy or mauve. I think this one is different enough that if you're fan of these types of shades you'll want this one too.

Here are pictures of my swatches Zoya Faye, OPI It's My Year, & Orly Oui side by side:

It's definitely different! Great color. Thanks Lakeisha!

Happy Friday!

Franken Dragon's Lair

Today, I have for you franken. This lovely franken was created by Sarah from See Sarah Swatch. I named it though. I hope she doesn't mind the name! I thought it fit. This color is awesome. I think bloggers and nail polish addicts create the best polish colors for sure.

Dragon's Lair

Dragon's Lair is a teal shimmer with golden holographic glitter.

I need to get my hands on some golden holographic glitter! She combined two of my favorite things in this, a cool toned color and gold. I've talked about my love for this combination enough. I don't want to bore you to tears. It's a beautiful color, and I love the use of the shimmer and the glitter together. Thanks Sarah!

Happy Wednesday!
