New Nail Polish

What a week it has been! Especially due to this! As my New Year's Resolution, I wanted to get into the hobby of vlogging and blogging! I was lucky enough to get my hands on a brand new Kodak Zi8 Pocket Camcorder this Christmas. What better way to start off the new year with new beauty guru and style tip videos. It's been a slow process and I haven't uploaded any videos yet but they are in the making! I'm excited to be starting my new, and first, blog where I can share all my favorite beauty products with fellow girls out there who are interested. This past week I was able to get my "nails" tee hee, on EIGHT, eight! eight great new nail polishes. Two of which are from famed brand Deborah Lippmann, also known as the Lippmann Collection, five are from scattered collections of OPI, and one is a Nicole that I just had to pick up knowing Valentines day was soon approaching.
   If you're unfamiliar with the Lippmann Collection, it's a set of about twenty different colored nail polishes that apply on smooth and are long lasting. Deborah Lippmann is a celebrity manicurist and polishes within her collection are created with or made for various celebrity's. As for myself, I'd rather start a trend instead of follow a celebrity's choice. I was flattered when a Sales Clerk at a Beauty Store was inspired to paint her nails the same color I had on mine, and if you don't know, OPI's new collection based off the "Alice In Wonderland" movie coming out this spring has hit all your favorite beauty stores! Getting to that later, The Lippmann Collection has shades that have been featured on Oprah, Regis and Kelly, and in many magazines. I'm a huge country music listening, and I also have a problem with buying things for their name, so I picked up the color created for Sarah Jessica Parker, "Sarah Smile", which reminded me of that heart-warming song by Hall & Oates, as well as "Dream a little dream of me." Both of these colors can be found on numerous websites that sell the Lippmann Collection. To me they are love love love. "Sarah Smile," is a very sheer, peach, yellow, and cream shade that goes on beautifully. "Dream a little dream of me," however, takes more than three coats to become true to bottle, but once it has, it looks like fresh strawberry frosting on a donut. You can find these nail polishes here. Hands down, OPI is my favorite nail polish brand. It goes on smooth and lasts long, and I have to admit I am definitely someone who often buys things for their name, so I have a huge obsession when it comes to OPI. The colors I most recently picked up are, "Give me the moon," which is a very futuristic looking silver with a hint of sheer blue glitter which makes this color very pretty. It is very similar to China Glazes' "Sci-Fi." Next I picked up "Hearts and Tarts," Which is a very sheer pink that looks very shiny and glittery when dry. I love soft shades that still draw a lot of attention, so I also purchased "Up Front and Personal." Wow, it's probably one of my favorite OPI shades. It's sheer gold and is just beautiful. It kind of reminds me of the deep topaz-like glitter found in OPI's "My Private Jet."

OPI Up Front And Personal

Since I buy so many sheer neutral shades, the next two I picked up made a color pop in my collection and they are "Pink Flamenco," and "Strawberry Margarita." I have not yet tried these both but they will definitely be my 'pinks of choice' for Valentine's Day. The last nail polish shade I bought this week will go perfectly with any pink! It's a silver and pink glitter top coat by Nicole, called "Love Your Life," and it has little pink confetti hearts inside. I love this for painting over red's, gold's and especially pinks! I can't wait to give another update!

How crazy is this! This tarnished silver Owl ring matches dead on with "Mad as a Hatter" By OPI :-)

Until next time, stay girly!
