WnW Sage In The City

Hi!!! Happy Thursday everyone. Today I have Wet & Wild Fast Dry Sage In The City. It's a sage green that reminds me of the color of new grass...or like the color of a lime. It has a metallic finish and wasn't too brushstrokey (yes, I make my own words...lol)  First let me say that these polishes don't dry any faster than regular polish. Why it says Fast Dry is beyond me. The formula was pretty good. It glided on my nail with no problems. I thought it might have drag issues since it didn't dry too fast but I didn't. I used 2 coats with a coat of Seche Vite.



 
 
Later on I added OPI Save Me to my ring and thumb nails.

NOTD: Pure Ice Oh Baby!

For today's manicure (that I did last night) is of Pure Ice Oh Baby! Its a duochromatic microglitter topcoat. I used it over Finger Paints Tough Art To Follow which is a deep forest green. Tough Art To Follow was a bit thick and streaky so my mani took forever to dry even with a coat of Seche Vite. The sun was in and out today but everytime I went to take pics it hid behind the clouds. Oh Baby really is a gorgeous topcoat. It flashes teal, blue and purple. As hard as I tried I just capture the purple in my pics. I didn't get to take my pictures until I got out of work today. As you can see below, I have some considerable tipwear.

OPI Berlin There Done That

Hello my wonderful people. Our last stop on the Germany tour in Berlin There Done That. BTDT is a light grey with some brownish tint to it. Almost a taupe. Lovely as it is, I have already worn it twice and have gotten many complements. The formula on it was very nice. For a creme it leveled very nicely. I used three coats for extra depth. It dried very shiny.

I decided not to buy Schnapps Out Of It. I just could not get myself to like the terra cotta shade of coral. I kept picking it up and was bleh about it.
GIVEAWAY COMING SOON ;)

OPI Unfor-greta-bly Blue

Hello! I'm sorry I'm posting so late today. I was at my mom's house today cooking and baking. I also took yesterday off so I could volunteer at a Ride For The Cure. I lost a close friend to cancer last year so it means alot for me to be able to contribute to the cause in some way.
On another note,  my hand is doing better though it is sore. Considering my nails were bruised, I decided to paint my nails with Unfor-greta-bly Blue. It's a very opaque, metallic blue. With a little care, it could have easily been a one coater. I used two. I also had no issue with brush strokes. I really liked everything about this polish.



 
Only 2 followers until I hit 15! Once I get there, my GIVEAWAY will go up!

OPI Every Month is Oktoberfest

Ok so this post is going to be short since I'm having a really crappy day and to top it off I slammed my right hand in the sliding glass door so it hurts to type >.<
Today I have on Every Month Is Oktoberfest. It's a blackened purple shimmer similiar to German-icure by OPI. Its very gorgeous & vampy. It had a nice formula and dried very fast. I used two coats for opacity. Enjoy. I'm off to nurse my hand.

OPI Nein! Nein! Nein! OK Fine!

Hello all. How is your week going? I'm sure glad tomorrow is Friday. I feel just exhausted this week. Maybe I'm coming down with something. I hope not. This Saturday I will be volunteering at The Closer To Free Bike Ride for Smilow Cancer Hospital. It's pretty fun.

Today from the Germany Collection I have Nein! Nein! Nein! OK Fine!...phew. What a mouthful. I don't  know how they even fit these names of the labels. NNNOF is a dark grey creme that leans on the green side. It had a great formula, I used 2 coats for opacity.



 
All the pics were taken on a cloudy day :(
I had trouble capturing the green in this polish.
