Nicole by OPI Got Style?

Another from the Nicole ♥ Walmart collection today - the "mauve frost" Got Style?.  I really didn't think I'd like this color originally but it's super pretty, especially in the shade!  (Did I just say that?)


I used a base of OPI Natural Nail, 2 coats of Got Style? and a top of OPI Top Coat.  I had to fight myself on taking this off because I really liked it THAT much.  Formula and application were awesome.

Oddly enough, in the sun, I didn't love this color as much.

But in the shade this frost/metallic/whatever awesomeness in a bottle shows up and made me super giddy.  I guess frost would be the best way to say it because it looks like someone blew ice over it.

And one quick inside with a flash.  ^_^


Definitely pick up this color if you can find it - it's absolutely lovely.


Nicole by OPI is available beginning at ULTA, Meijer, Harmon, HEB, Sears, Wal-Mart and more for around $8 a bottle.  For more information, visit their website, follow Nicole by OPI on Twitter or become a Facebook fan.

Unforgettable Moments Sapphire

During Christmas last year, I had a slight shoe accident where I walked into mud and caked my Airwalk slippers (which I have an odd fascination with) and being 3 hours away from home, I knew there was another Payless Shoe Store near my aunt's house, so I drove on over.


What I didn't know was that select Payless Stores like this one, also carries Unforgettable Moments nail polish!  If you've been in a Payless in the past 13 years, you probably remember Unforgettable Moments... that's the company that will dye your shoes any color to match your dress?  When I was 14, I begged my mom to dye some shoes to match my blue dress for my Army JROTC Military Ball,  but she said no.  I still remember, oh yes.


Unforgettable Moments Sapphire is apart of the 3-piece "Romancing the Gemstone" collection (trio) that runs for $7.99.  They were having a buy one set, get the second half off, so I grabbed another trio and headed for the counter (with my new shoes).


I used a base of Seche Natural, 1 coat of Sapphire and a top of Seche Vite.  The formula was quite nice, no Smurf staining afterwards.  It's a dark metallic blue, much like a sapphire (go figure).

A little sun action for you - click to view larger for those tiny blue particles in the polish.

And a shade picture - same story.  ^_^


You can find Unforgettable Moments in select Payless Shoe Stores or online here.  They are not currently on Facebook or Twitter.

China Glaze Pelican Gray vs Dr.'s REMEDY Healing

Look familiar?  I thought so too.  For both polishes, I used a base of Seche Natural, 2 coats of polish and a top of Seche Vite.  Are you ready for twins?

Hello sun!  Total dupes.

Same story in the shade - even down to the blue undertone.

And an inside flash shot - fun times!

China Glaze Pelican Gray

Another from the spring 2011 collection Anchors Away is China Glaze Pelican Gray.  This is another one of those light concrete greys that seemed super popular last year and it does hold its own as a nice neutral.


I used a base coat of Seche Vite, 2 coats of Pelican Gray and a top of Seche Vite.  Formula was good - consistent.

Here it is in the sun.  My cuticles need some care eep!

In the shade it has a bit of a blue undertone to it.

I had the bright idea (ha) to take pictures against my white door with a flash - not sure if this helps much or not... I did it for Starboard too.


Overall - Nice grey creme with just a tiny shimmer.
