OPI My Private Jet Swatches


I have a random swatch for you guys  today. I was looking through my polishes and this one just reminds of fall and since it's officially November (crazy right!) I had to post this.

Droolllll... This is amazing but I just don't really know how to describe it. It's a dark brown with a golden red shimmer with some holographic sparkles and silverish white speckles(?) I don't know what it is but this polish is definitely unique to my collection and a is great for the fall.

Halloween Polishes Blue Cross Mini Glitters and Pumpkin Glitter

 So, I know its been a while since I've posted anything. I was feeling like blogging maybe wasn't for me, plus school and the fact that I can't seem to stop biting my nails so my they've looked pretty bad. Today I felt inspired to make a post so here it is. I found a set of mini Halloween glitters and a pumpkin glitter polish by Blue Cross at my local grocery store a while ago that I have swatches for. None of the mini polishes have names so I' just gonna make them up:)

Blue Cross Phantom Frights Spooky Nail Colors

Blue Cross Multi Glitter


  "Multi Glitter" is a fine mulitcolored glitter. This reminds me of OPI's Rainbow Connection except smaller glitter. This is 2 coats.


Blue Cross Neon Pink Sparkle
 "Neon Pink Sparkle" is a bright jelly pink with opalescent glitter. I was so excited about this one until I put it on. It was super thick and chunky. Maybe some thinner would help but idk. This was 2 coats.



Blue Cross Shred It up over white
Blue Cross Shred It up over white
"Shred it Up" has shredded teal glitter, large purple glitter, and small orange glitter. I really like this one. Definitely best layered. This is 2 coats over white.


Blue Cross Ocean
"Ocean" is a metallic teal blue with very fine blue and silver glitter. This one is really interesting but has a sandy texture when dry so top coat is a must. This is 2 coats.


Blue Cross Blurple
"Blurple" is a medium sized blue and purple glitter. This is 2 coats.



Blue Cross Pumpkin Chunky Glitter over white

This is the pumpkin polish that I have and it says Chunk Glitter on the bottom. I'm sure if that is the actual name or not. This is a black and silver glitter with moon glitter. Ughhh this one was terrible. The glitter looks pretty dense in the bottle but it was impossible to get the glitter on the nail. The moons were even harder to get out so I ended up having to dab them on. This is 3 coats over white.

Color Club Back to Boho Fall Collection 2011 Part 2

 I have the last 6 polishes from the Back to Boho Collection.


Color Club Artsy Crafty
 Artsy Crafty is a deep forest green creme with a touch of blue. This one applied super smooth and creamy in 2 coats.

1 coat
Color Club Blue Topia
 Blue Topia is an inky blue jelly. This is 2 coats. Btw this one was a biotch to take off, it stained my fingers blue.

Color Club Nouveau Vintage

Nouveau Vintage is a gooorgeous warm brown with green/gold shimmer. This is 2 coats.


Color Club Boho Mojo
Boho Mojo is a silver/gold frost. Not a fan of this one. Hard to apply and it shows every brush stroke. This is 2 coats.

Color Club Rebel Spirit
Rebel Spirit is a dark brown, almost jelly polish. This is 2 coats.

Color Club Voo Doo You Do
Voo Doo You Do is a dark grey shimmer with a hint of blue. A little brush strokey but very pretty. 2 coats.

Color Club Back to Boho Collection Fall 2011

 So, I know this from last year but I gonna post it anyways. This collection is divided into 2 sets. I have 6 polishes from the collection of lighter shades. I also have the rest of the collection (which is dark shimmers/frosts/ jelly-ish polishes), but have yet to swatch them so they'll be up soon. I found both of these sets at Ross for 7.99 about a year ago. The sets came with 6 colors and 1 topcoat. 7 polishes for 8 bucks heck yes!



Color Club Earthy Angel
 Earthy Angel kind of reminds me of a caramel color. Merp... Not my first pick. It looks strange with my skin tone and is just a drab color. This is 2 coats.

Color Club New Bohemian
 New Bohemian is a dusty Tiffany blue. In the pic it looks pretty bright but it's actually a little darker. This is 2 coats.


Color Club Nomadic in Nude
 Nomadic in Nude is beige/grey toned nude. It almost reminds me of the color of sand. This is 3 coats.


Color Club Rad Nomad
 Rad Nomad is a dark grey toned purple. I love this color. It's creamy and perfect for fall (or whenever).

Color Club Shabby Drab
 Shabby Drab is a grey toned periwinkle. This is definitely another one of my favorites. It's dusty enough, yet soft. This is 2 coats.


Color Club Red-ical Gypsie
Red-ical Gypsie is a deep red. In the bottle this looks very dark, but on the nail it went on so sheer and more of like a cherry red. This is 2 coats, but could probably use 3.

Sinful Colors Firefly


Firefly is yellow shimmer. Formula was pretty easy. This was 3 coats.


Sinful Colors Luminary


Luminary is a coral with silver shimmer. This is 2 coats.

Fall Marble

 I found this really awesome picture tutorial on pinterest showing you how to create a waterless water marble. Hallelujah! Lol I was so happy to find this since I'm not good with water marbles, so I just had to try this! Here is the link for the original pinterest post http://beauty-tutorial.blogspot.com/2012/09/dry-water-marble-nail-tutorial.html. Instead of using a base color and then layering stripes on top, I just made one stripe of each color.


My polishes marbled on a plastic bag.
 I am in love with how this turned out! I already have some other ideas for it that I can't wait to try. The plum color is China Glaze Purr-Fect Plum, The teal is China Glaze Exotic Encounters, and the grey is OPI Suzi Takes the Wheel and then a coat of Seche Vite.

Essence Colour & Go: Date in the Moonlight, Modern Romance, & Where is the Party? Swatches







Today I have 3 Essence Colour & Go polishes. Date in the Moonlight and Modern Romance are in their revamped bottles. 

 

I really like the new bottle design. I can actually tell what color the polish is by the cap without having to dig it out of my mess of polishes. It also holds more too, so that's a bonus.

Essence Date in the Moonlight

 Date in the Moonlight is a dark blue toned grey with a very fine blue shimmer. This is 2 coats.


Essence Modern Romance

Modern Romance is a very pretty peachy pink with a slight pink shimmer. This is 2 coats.



Essence Where is the Party?
 Where is the Party? is a purple/grey duochrome that shifts to green and sometimes blue. This was really hard to photograph so I did my best. This is 2 coats.

Nails Inc. Topping Lane

Topping Lane is a bubble gum pink base packed with silver, purple, and pink glitter. What else can I say... It's pink, it's glittery, it's awesome! I have 2 coats plus a coat of Seche Vite.
