Purp

I LOVE this color!! I'm wearing OPI Planks A Lot from the Pirates collection. It is beautiful! It's a muted dark lavender cream polish.
I filed my nails shorter than usual but I think it goes pretty well with this deep purple color.



I messed up my index finger washing dishes =(

Braziliant

This week I'm wearing Essie Braziliant on my nails. I'm in the mood for summer and warmer weather!


This shade is part of Essie's newest spring line. Ulta didn't carry it yet the last time I checked. I found them at Walgreens which is odd because it's technically summer already isn't it? =P

It is so pretty it's a tangerine orange with red tones and pink/gold shimmer which you don't notice unless you stare real hard at the bottle. It is pretty reflective in real life.



I gotta say, this is a pretty bold color. It is more red in real life. It's pretty, and would be a nice addition to any collection. But I think it might look better on my toes than fingers.

Greens

It seems like green and yellow polishes are super trendy this season. I've really been digging green on my nails. Never did I think I would ever wear green but OPI Pirates Of The Carribean Stranger Tides totally changed my mind! And now I'm loving Mermaid's Tears as well!


I found the last addition to my now complete OPI Pirates collection. It was $8.00 at my hair salon, as opposed to $8.50 ;). I love finding surprising little deals!

I don't know how to describe this color. It's kinda an aqua, dark sea foam, jade-like.... It is a creamy gorgeous green! I'm currently wearing it with my jade bracelet and it goes pretty well together! It looks darker/more jade like in person.



I have yet to try most of the polishes in this collection and I keep buying more polishes. It's hard to share my attention =P

Now I'm lemming Essie Mint Candy Apple, and Absolutely Shore.

Lilac

This week I have Essie Lilacism on my nails, part of the spring collection. It is much lighter than OPI's Do you Liliac It? and way more pastel. This is probably one of my favorite Essie colors thus far.


Application was pretty smooth, a lot smoother than their nude colors for me. Two thick coats was enough, but three coats would have been perfect. Sadly, I've already noticed some chipping and it's only been 2 days! But I'm really digging this shade!



It makes me regret not buying the limited edition Neiman Marcus lilac Balenciaga First that is part of their designer sale. Rumor has it it's around $835-$865
