OPI Do You Lilac It?

2010-07-10T13:07:00.000-07:00

OPI Do You Lilac It? is a gorgeous light purple. It goes out a lot darker than in the bottle, which is a shame, but the colour payoff is amazing, the colour glows on your nails. This is 3 coats. If you are wondering, OPI Done Out In Deco is lighter than this, but they are in the same colour family.

Sally Hansen Lickety-Split Lime

2010-06-14T08:41:00.000-07:00

Sally Hansen's Lickety-Split Lime is an awesome colour. It's like a split pea soup green, you either love it or hate it. I really like it,but I admit that I didn't at first. I think it's quite similar to OPI Who the Shrek Are You? This is 2 coats, goes on well and dries quickly.

OPI: Shorts Story

2010-06-07T11:15:00.000-07:00

Shorts Story came out with the Paige Denim Brights collection a year ago or so. This is a bright pink. Applies well, only 2 coats.

OPI: Coney Island Cotton Candy

2010-06-05T11:09:00.000-07:00

OPI Coney Island Cotton Candy is a really nice colour, a little neutral, a little peach. It is however quite sheer and needs building up to get the colour in the bottle. This is at 3 coats, although I could of used a 4th because you can still see my nail line.

China Glaze: For Audrey

2010-06-02T13:43:00.000-07:00

For Audrey is a beautiful tiffany blue that is a favourite of many people. I definitely get compliments when I wear this polish. This is 2 coats.

Revlon - Coral Me Wild

2010-05-30T23:21:00.000-07:00

Corals are huge for summer, I see everyone wearing colours like this. A little bit of red, a little bit of orange, bright and lovely. This would make for a great toenail colour too. Revlon polishes are hit or miss, but most of the ones I've tried apply nicely if they are the creme variety. Revlon coral me wild was no exception, you could get away with one coat, but I opted for two, smooth and opaque.

This one may be similar to MAC's Scorcher which came out recently in the "to the beach" collection, it's a red coral creme polish. I don't own that one so I can't say for sure, but this one is much cheaper and I enjoy it.
