OPI: Save Me

So, do we know? Did the grounghog see his shadow? It's been a pretty mild winter in Michigan so far, so I can take the news ☺

Save Me is from the Niki Minaj collection. It's a clear base filled with silver micro glitter and different colored holo bar glitter. There's blue, yellow, green, red, orange...I'm not a huge fan of bar glitter, but when I saw this in person, I was surprised how much I liked it. The bars are nice and thin and don't overpower, and I think that's what I like about it.



Here is a nice closeup:


The base color is Fresh Paint Olive You. I found this color at 5 Below, I've never heard of the brand before....

NYX Girls: Super Funk

So, I hate it say it, but this color disappointed me. Super Funk is a mixture of different sized fuchsia-y purple glitter in a clear base.....sounds awesome on paper, but the issue is the glitter is so sparse that you have to D I G just to get any onto the brush. I added SF to my previous Funky Fingers mani here. If there were more glitter in the bottle, I'd really like it....

Funky Fingers: Power Chord

Power Chord is a gray-ish purple foil which has a very slight tan flash to it. I'm sure it's opaque enough to wear on it's own, but I decided to layer it over a dark purple instead. Here's the result.



The base color I used is from a brand called Eleese and the lable is missing on the bottle, so I don't know the proper name. This is a beautiful vampy purple jelly and one of my go-to bases when I layer polishes.

Milani One Coat Glitter: Red Sparkle

Here is the 2nd new Milani I picked up. It looks like there is a new version of Red Sparkle. The new one is red micro glitter with slightly larger gold hexes. Even though this is a "One Coat Glitter" it definitely needs two for full coverage. This is two coats with one coat of Gelous overtop.






Here is a comparison shot of the two Red Sparkles:


They even have the same number, so I'm assuming Milani has discontinued the old one.

Milani Jewel FX: Red

I found this new Milani at Meijer the other day. The display was pretty picked over, so I'm pretty happy they had this one left. Red is my absolute favorite color, so I knew I had to have this the second I saw it. The color is called simply Red and it's a clear base with red hex glitter. This is a new Jewel FX color. I layered it over Loreal Femme Noir:

Super Clearance!

I love a good deal, especially on polish. I found this color just sitting on an end cap at Meijer and picked it up. When I read the name, Snowed-In, I knew it was from the Christmas collection....so I took it over to the bar code scanner and it rang up for..... 29 cents! Woo! Sold! I also got Orna-mint for the same price. Not bad!




What a cool color, huh? I decided to try and layer Revlon Whimsical over top a darker blue (since I don't have any light ones) and I did not love the look. I also layered Sally Hansen Glass Slipper over the other nails and I do like that combo. Too bad I ruined the ring finger with Whimsical, cuz I would have worn the heck out of the Glass Slipper combo.

Zoya: Yara

Here is my 2nd Zoya, Yara. Yara is a mossy green with gold glass flecks. Again, I was hoping for glitter instead of glass flecks, but this color is so freaking pretty! I love it. What Zoya's did you all choose?

Zoya: Neeka

I just got my free Zoya's in the other day. I love when they do those free promos. One of the two colors I choose was Neeka. Neeka is a dusty purple packed full of gold glass flecks. I was honestly a bit disappointed because I was expecting glitter instead of glass flecks, but this is still a gorgeous color.

Revlon: Whimsical

After a little mini search, I finally found Revlon Whimsical. As you probably know by now, it's a spot on dupe to Deborah Lippman's Glitter in the Air. Whimsical is a very sheer light blue base with blue and pink hexes and a tiny bit of blue micro glitter.



I had wanted to wear this over a nice light blue, but I actually don't own any! Can you believe that? So I settled for this gray cream from LA Girls. I don't know the name because the label is missing.

Finger Paints: Motley

Well, day two of my Revlon mani is not going well. Major shrinkage and bubbling. Blah. It hasn't even been 24 hrs yet and all I did was watch a movie and go to bed. Hmm, not impressed. Bummer! So I decided to re-wrap the tips, add another layer of color and top it off with a coat of Finger Paints Motley to hide any new bubbling.

Motley is a green and blue flakie and I just love it overtop a teal color. I usually wear flakies over black, but I'm trying to experiment more with them and I really like this combo.










Here's what the Revlon color looked like before I fixed it.
