Way-Cool Mani Wednesday: Autumn Leaves

Before I jump into holiday mode, I need to do some fall manis! This is one did recently, and wore for Halloween. I think it worked for Halloween, but it is definitely suitable for fall too.

Polishes Used: OPI Vant To Bite My Neck? and Sindie Pop Jinkies

Happy Wednesday!

Zoya India

Today, I have one of the Zoya Ingite polishes to share with you from their recent fall collection. Zoya is offering a promo now with their fall collections and naturel collctions for BOGO free! This would be a good time to purchase if you're looking for any of the shades. I'll have more details below. 

India

India is a deep red with a golden metallic sparkle. 

Color: I know reds can get pretty redundant in nail polish, but this one is special. The richness of this color with that complex golden shimmer really makes India stand out. I love the pigmentation of this color. 

Formula: Excellent 2 coat formula. This is very easy to apply. 

Price: This is $9 on the Zoya website. Through tomorrow 11/12, all polishes from the Ignite, Entice, Naturel, and Naturel 2 collections are BOGO FREE using the code BFF. Hurry up and pick up your pretties!

Overall: Beautiful jewel-toned red metallic shade for fall. The formula is a great, and there is nothing better than a BOGO FREE promo!

OPI My Voice is a Little Norse

So what happened to November? I think everything transitions from Halloween to Christmas pretty quickly. I'm trying to hold back putting up holiday polishes now. I don't have a problem with the jump personally, but it does make me want to rush into holiday everything when I've barely tapped into fall stuff!

Speaking of fall, I do have one of the OPI fall Nordic polishes to share with you today. I'm a bit on the fence with this one.

My Voice is a Little Norse

My Voice is a Little Norse is a gray-toned sheer base with silvery-gray holographic glitter.

Color: I really like this color of this. I like that isn't not a straight up silver, however, I really wish this was more of a full coverage glitter.

Formula: The formula on this is alright. I used 3 coats above. Like, I said above I really wish this was an opaque glitter. I have tons of silvery holo glitters, I can use as toppers, and this really doesn't look very different in comparison to those layered. This on it's own though is deeper and richer in color, but I don't get the coverage I'd like. I'd never use this has a full mani because of this. I'm very picky about seeing my nail underneath. I have used it as an accent though which I like.

Price: I bought this in the $8-$9 range at Sally's Beauty Supply.

Overall: I really like the concept of this. The steely gray color is really nice, but it doesn't provide the coverage for me that I'd like. It's pretty there is nothing wrong with it, really, other than it doesn't quite meet all my expectations.

Happy Monday!

Throwback Thursday: OPI I Have A Herring Problem

I have another OPI spring polish that I like to wear during fall. Is it me or does OPI sometimes release colors that seem better suited to the opposite season? The colors they release clearly can work for any season, but many off first glance look like they're in the wrong seasaonal collection. This one can definitely work for spring or fall, but I prefer wearing it in the fall. 

I Have A Herring Problem

 I Have a Herring Problem is a dusty medium gray-toned blue with a golden and silver shimmer.

Collection: OPI Holland Spring/Summer 2012

Color: What makes this more of a fall polish for me is the muted color and the golden shimmer. I love this shade of blue, and whether it's spring of fall it's a nice contrast from the spring baby blue pastels and the fall navys. I love how the shimmer gives this polish depth and complexity.

Formula: The formula is alright. It's not bad, not good either. I found it to be a tad bit thick, but nothing to overly complain about.

Price: This can easily be found multiple places online in the $6-$9 range.

Overall: I don't have a herring problem, but I really do love this polish. I love the name too! The color is beautiful and unique. The name is pretty awesome too!

Way-Cool Mani Wednesday: Opulence Squared

I didn't mean to go 2 days without posting! I really hate doing that. I just got preoccupied early this week. I did a mani I really liked this past weekend. I've been trying to revisit a lot of oldies in my stash lately since I reorganized. I doubled the opulence with this one!

Polishes Used: Sally Hansen Opulent Cloud and Hare Polish Own Your Opulence.

I love this combination, and I completely forgot about Opulent Cloud! This is such a unique golden gray shimmer!

Happy Wednesday!
