Oh Teally Joins the Russian Navy

Today I have yet another OPI/Amy's Nail Boutique combo for you, I started off with 2 coats of OPI Russian Navy, a beautiful shimmery blurple.  It was a tiny bit thin, but I think if I let it sit for a bit that it will get better.

Then I applied one coat of Amy's Nail Boutique Oh Teally on top, a beautiful multi-sized teal glitter topcoat. It even have circles!  I loved this beautiful combo.  As with all of my Amy's it applied easily on the nail from the bottle.  I never have to fish for glitters from Amy!

OPI can be purchased from Ulta, Amy's Nail Boutique can be purchased through her Etsy Store.

Jewel Cops a Teal

Today I started off with OPI DS Jewel, probably the black sheep of the DS collection as far as I'm concerned.  I was very meh over it, which I have never really been over any of the DSes.  

So naturally, I thought it best to top it with glitter!  Glitter makes everything better.  I used one coat of Amy's Nail Boutique Cop a Teal.  I love the color combination of this glitter, you have copper and teal working together!  The shine and shimmer on these glitters were so eye catching I feel it look a mani I was meh over to a mani I loved.

Soft Kitty loves Bluey

I have one of my favorite manis today!  I started off with two coats of Butter London Bluey, a great formula and application on the nail.  I was really impressed with this polish and it is definitely a fantastic color.

Then I put one coat of Amy's Nail Boutique Soft Kitty over top.  LOVE.  The holographic sparkle combined with the different glitters over such a great color just made my day.  Application was also perfect, as always with my Amy's.  

 Butter London can be found at Ulta and Nordstrom, Amy's Nail Boutique can be purchased through her Etsy store.

La Moss

Today I have the gorgeous La Moss from Butter London.  You see two coats below.  I thought the formula was great, but I had a bad case of the yips and I got it on my cuticles.  Reds are SO HARD to clean up.  I'm sorry for that!

Moss is something I'd like to be seeing right now instead of the enormous snow storm that is currently hitting Maryland!  Its MARCH for goodness sakes!  6-10 inches expected.  My kids are happy as clams, but I need spring!

Butter London can be purchased at Ulta or Nordstrom.

Hocus Pocus gets Cocky

Today I have a great pairing for you.  I started out with Cocky from the Sephora X Collection, a very sheer blue jelly.  This is three coats below and you can still see the visible nail line big time.  Personally, I'm not a fan of showing off the panty line as it were, so I had to top it with something, as pretty as this color may be.

So I put Smitten Hocus Pocus on top and it came ALIVE!  This was just stunning on the nail, one coat of Hocus Pocus was all I needed to feel confident about this mani.  I was in love with the first stroke.  Application was perfection.

The Sephora X collection can be purchased at Sephora.  Smitten Polish can be purchased at their online store.

Pixie Tears over DWS

Today I have an awesome combo!  I started off with Illamasqua DWS, a beautiful grey creme.  This is two coats.  Illamasqua has such a fantastic formula!

Then I put one coat of KB Shimmer Pixie Tears over top, which is a clear base with micro shimmer flakies.

I loved this pairing, when it caught the light it was just stunning!

Illamasqua can be purchased at Sephora.  KB Shimmer can be purchased through their online store.

Deranged

Today I have one of the polishes from the Sephora X collection, Deranged from the Prismatic line.  I found the formula on this to be great and there was so many facets to this polish.  I am a big fan of the X collection, I wish my store carried them, unfortunately the only way I can get them is online.

Beautiful Cosmos

The minute I laid eyes on this polish in a bottle shot, I knew it would be mine.  And it most definitely didn't disappoint!

This is two coats of Picture Polish Cosmos, a stunning blue shelly base with holographic and glitter effects.  Just GORGEOUS!  This is one of those polishes that you sit and stare at your nails for most of the day.  If you don't have it, you NEED it!  

I was really excited about their newest blogger collection releases as well.

Picture Polish can be purchased through Llarowe or Harlow & Co

Peanut Butter & Jelly

GAH, I know, blogger fail.  Life, work, sickies, blah have been getting in the way lately.  I'm still doing my nails though!  You can't get rid of me that easily.  Don't forget about my 1 year blogiversary giveaway!  I got No Medal For Chewie the other day and it is gorgeous! 

This polish has a special place in my heart because it was my first (check that, my ONLY) blog giveaway win!  I got to choose any Whimsical Ideas by Pam and I picked this one.  This is a grape jelly base with gold glitters and I think it is perfectly named.   Thank you so much to Iheartprettypolish for this giveaway (which seems like forever ago and had the wonderful added benefit of helping us get to know each other better!) 

I was really happy with the formula and application, but I have felt that way about all of my Whimsies, this is a unique polish in my collection as well.  You see here 3 coats on the nail with no undies (always a plus!!).
