More Purple! (NOTD: Sally Hansen Cyber)

This was a more intense purple, and it was a lot harder to get decent pics of than Dannii was.  Sally Hansen Cyber is super saturated, almost a juicy purple, and much more awesome than I could capture on camera.  The sunlight pics is closest to being color accurate:

 

Thanks for reading =)

NOTD: Zoya Dannii

I meant to get this up last night, but at some point I just got too tired & didn't finish editing the pictures ... but oh well - that's what weekends are for, right?  Staying up late & sleeping in lots =)

 

Zoya Dannii is from this spring's Intimate collection.  In the bottle the shimmer in this purple polish looks kind of silver, but on the nail the shimmer transforms to gold:

 

 

And here's what a failed patch looks like - looks worse than it was, but thank goodness I always have nail glue with me:

 

I love purple <3  I've mentioned it before, but for new readers purple is the only color that has 2 drawers in my Helmers LOL, although blue & green are both trying to catch up.

 

Bonus pics - the peonies are in bloom:

 

Thanks for reading =)

NOTD: Zoya Jules

Zoya Jules is a really, really pretty color - taupe with a lot of gold sparkle. Unfortunately, I didn't like it on me at all:

 

Honestly, if it had been earlier in the evening I probably would have taken it off immediately - but it was late so it lasted a whole day.  I thought maybe it would grow on me ... but it did not LOL.  Mom loves it too, and I think it will go better with her skintone so I'll try & post a Guest NOTD when she wears it =)  Thanks for reading.

NOTD: OPI Have You Seen My Limo?

So, I'm trying not to actually fall a full week behind - this is last Wednesday's mani, so I'm squeaking past by the skin of my teeth LOL.  This is OPI Have You Seen My Limo?  It's a very dark ... color.  Purple?  Burgundy?  Weird brown?  Well, that all depends on the angle & the lighting:

I liked it a lot, but I feel oddly stumped trying to describe it past beautiful =)  Thanks for reading.

More OPI Shatters & Icing Glitters

So, that no-buy that was supposed to last through the end of June ... well, it didn't.  Crashed & burned in spectacular fashion, although I suppose it could be worse.  I got some more OPI Shatters & one from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection at Ulta:

 

 

Left to right:  Red Shatter, Blue Shatter, Navy Shatter & Mermaid's Tears.

 

Then I happened into an Icing:

 

 

Top:  Matte Smoke Screen, Chartruesly Yours, Mood Swing Stormy/Serene.  Bottom:  Golden Touch, Green with Envy, Starlight, Epic Winning, Birds of Paradise.

 

Here's the vid:

 

 

I'm going to attempt & go back to being on a no-buy again... but then again, when do those metallic China Glaze Crackles come out? =)  Thanks for reading.
