OPI San Tan-Tonio

Oh San Antone, SA, or like OPI has said, San Tan-Tonio, I love thee.  My dad was reared in San Antonio, and I lived there myself for half a year.  There is just so much that they have, and don't you dare forget the Alamo.  San Tan-Tonio is a tan (hah) brown creme that is almost like a super light caramel.  


I used a base coat of OPI Natural Nail, 2 coats of polish and a top of OPI Top Coat.

Here in the sun you can see how it's nice and opaque - creamy and smooth.  I was trying to think of dupes but China Glaze Classic Camel has a microglitter and is more yellow where Cheeky Monkey Camel Toe has more of a red brown to it.

This color is kind of dull in the shade - like a dusty pair of cowboy boots.

Indoors with the flash, you can see that it's definitely opaque and creamy.  Good color!  I think this would be a good office nude.

OPI is available at Professional Salons, including Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Chatters, Dillard’s, JCPenney, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, and Ulta, for $8.50 ($10.95 CAN) suggested retail for each Nail Lacquer. Please visit their website for details [official website].

Jesse's Girl Sunset Blvd

Moving through my Eye Dusts from Jesse's Girl, today's shade is Sunset Blvd, a red base with shimmering gold in it.

Both sun pictures show a heavy gold flash, despite all the pink base showing in the pan.

In the shade, you can see more of the pink base, less of the gold - still very pretty.  This is one of my favorite colors for eyes.

Indoors with the flash, you can see a good mix of the pink and the gold - very lovely.  I can't wait to wear this out on the town!

Jesse's Girl sells for $4.99 a piece online or at Rite Aid stores. You can visit Jesse's Girl on their website, Like them on Facebook and Follow them on Twitter.
