OPI Dulce de Leche

OPI pretty much owns me. I thought I should give some justification as to why thats mostly the brand on this blog...yeah I dont know but OPI is my favorite brand with good brush, formula and colors that work for me.

ALSO, oddly enough, OPI is the easiest brand for me to attain. Yeah, crazy I know haha. But yeah my Sally's for CG and Orly and such is further away from my house than Ulta is and I refuse to pay Ulta's 6.50 for china glaze when sally's has it for 4.50.

anyway haha, here is OPI's Dulce De Leche:


2 coats. You can see some chips, but I was wearing this for forever.



These are really color accurate I'd say.

Lauren Conrad has been quoted saying this was her favorite nude or something and I can see why! It only took 2 super easy coats and dry time was pretty good. I would describe it as light brown with just a touch of pink. For sure my go to nude color. Love it!!


Melon of Troy didn't go so well haha...had MAJOR bubbling which I couldnt bare to look at haha so off it went. I cant say for sure if it was the polish because I pretty much did the opposite of everything heard to prevent bubbling. LOL heres how it went:

Me: "La la la, painting my nails, painting my nails, painting my nails hey hey hey hey. Oh, I think I'll do thick coats 'cause this looks pretty sheer."

And then......DUN DUN DUN DUN!!

Windows open, breeze coming through and three fans on. Whoops.

I dont know if its true but I heard having thick coats and then fans/windy-ness can cause/make it worse.


Hope you're all having a lovely day :)

Goosebump Nails

Thats what ended up happening when I tried out OPI's Coney Island Cotton Candy...so sad :(



5 Coats with Seche Retain Base and no Topcoat.

TONS of bubbling which gave it the goosebump look. Also the weirdest thing happened with this polish...I got an air bubble stuck in between the layers and if I pushed on it, it would move around my nail haha. Very entertaining but pretty ugly to look at.

I wasnt really expecting that much with this polish but it did disappoint me a smidge. I think I'll try this maybe in a french manicure and see how it looks.



I'm off to Cross Country Camp at PennState for the next three days so I'll be back posting on Wed! I've decided to wear China Glaze's Neon "Purple Panic" so I'll have that to show :D Have a great week guys!
