OPI - HTF - mystery polish....

This is the third polish that I scored from Goodwill for only 99 cents. It's label is missing so I have no idea which one it could possibly be.... But the simple lettering on the back of the bottle matches the bottle of Plymouth Lox. It's not like the newer OPI bottles that have a lot of lettering and symbols. The fill line hits at the horizontal line just below the OPI letters.It's a warm orange with hints of coral. Creme finish. Pictured is...

OPI - HTF - Back in the Saddle

This is another great black label find at my local Goodwill. I got it for only 99 cents.The fill line on this bottle was also just barely used.It hits right at the rim of the bottle well above the OPI lettering.It's a pumpkin-y orange color with heavy gold shimmer. 2 coats are pictured. Again, despite smelling of toxic old fumes, the formula was still really good and went on smooth.The label on the bottom is pretty disgusting and damaged. I...

OPI - HTF - Plymouth Lox

I hit pay dirt at my local Goodwill.  I normally just randomly pass through but never find anything. Last week I found 3 OPI's under the glass counter top by the registers for 99 cents each. It turns out that they're black labels! Which is a sign of an older OPI. My research found that OPI Plymouth Lox if from the New England Collection in 1998. The bottle has been barely used. The fill line hits right at the upper rim of the glass...

Stripes & Drips

These nails were inspired by Nancy Mc and her Mickey nail wheel.I don't think I've ever done drippy nails before, but these were a lot of fun. I used Sinful Colors Snow Me White as a base and started taping off the stripes to create them. After 2 nails I got sick of that slow process, so I just freehanded them with Sinful Colors Time Out which is a black striper brush polish. I then applied white for the drippy sections because I wanted...

Geometric Squares

I've been feeling a little down and like a nail blogger failure because I haven't had much of my own nail art inspiration. I feel like I'm in a creative block. :( So the only nail art I've been doing is inspired by other bloggers. Today it was this look from Whitney at Dressed Up Nails.I used China Glaze Lemon Fizz, For Audrey, & Zoya Dea. All of the details were done with a skinny nail art brush....

Herbie The Love Bug Inspired

Anybody else love these movies as a kid? I loved watching the ones from the 60s, I wasn't as big a fan of the Lindsay Lohan versions.These nails were inspired by his racing stripes and number.   Tutorial:I used 3 coats of Lime Crime Milky Ways and then I topped it with a coat of Seche Vite to speed things along. I waited about 10 minutes before applying the striping tape. I started along the middle of my nail and applied one piece. Then...

Ruby Wing - Poppy & Sunflower

These polishes from Ruby Wing are both SCENTED and COLOR CHANGING. It was quite interesting to find those 2 in one polish. Poppy(Can be found here for $10) 2 coats indoors. It's a vibrant medium pink.  The little hanging tag that shows the color change and says it's scented. The scent is very strong. I'm not good at describing smells... but the best I can come up with is "grandma put on too much floral perfume again."Outdoors the polish...
