nails inc tate
LOVE! deep bloody red that doesn't turn brown on me. smooth application and so far great wear.

OPI My Private Jet (this version was from the initial Night Brights release)
As you can see...it's a rainbow of holo goodness


When I first purchased it I tried it out by itself and it was a grey holo and I didn't love it. I gave it another chance over black and I loved it!
the black is Carolyn New York Black Out in the Bronx...and it was opaque and smooth in 1 coat and it's long d/c....but that's another story.

mavala myrtille

i have had myrtille on my wishlist forever...and i finally had someone offer to send it to me!! it's not as i expected...but i love it! it looks fantastic over nails inc duke st. sparse silver glitter and an almost orange shimmer in a pale violet base.
i kept it on for 3 days...that is love for me!

gorgeous grey lilac. unique in my collection...it seemed familiar but when i compared it to others it was quite different.

thames is grey, duke is grey-lilac, melrose is closing in on blurple, st. john's wood is in the periwinkle family, and rbl purple haze is unique.
typical opaque smooth nails inc formula... worthy of owning in my humble opinion.

Chanel Particuliere

it really is a very nice shade... not too brown...not too lilac...just right.

the taupes i've kept... i had some that did not work on my fair skin so they are gone...but these are my favorites.

rescue beauty lounge opaque nude

this was a polish i was on the fence with before i ordered it. if it weren't for the sale i probably wouldn't have. it's a pretty color...but on my pink toned skin it is like i'm wearing the wrong foundation and it looks dirty and mismatched.
so sad.

Instyle Magazine had a promo recently. I was not one of the fortunate ones to win.
However, a polish fiend of mine loaned me hers to compare to some other reds so I could quiet the yearning.

Gorgeous Cherry Red... bright and happy.
however, don't give in to ebay and the nasty gougers there!
buy red hot ayers rock instead. on the nail i couldn't even tell them apart...in any light.

the fun thing i found when i was looking for a match was that another long d/c OPI Cherry Blossom was a twin as well! it has some very subtle/only shows up in pictures shimmer...but the color is the same!
hooray for that find :)

hope that helped!
