OPI "OPI Ink"

Hi all!  I can't believe that November is almost over!  It's going to be Christmas before we know it! Today's nail polish is OPI's "OPI Ink."  I got this nail polish in a trio called The Purple Collection Trio.  The set looks like this:

"OPI Ink" is a deep purple nail polish with blue micro-glitter.  Formula wise "OPI Ink" is nice and easy to apply.  After two coats the polish was not completely opaque.  There were no visible streak marks but you could see through to the nail bed in some places.  As for chipping I was able to wear "OPI Ink" for about two days before there were noticeable chips.

Overall I like OPI's "OPI Ink" but for such a dark color I expected the polish to be opaque.  I do really love the color though so I will give this nail polish another go!

November 2015 Dupe Post!

Hi all and happy almost December!  I hope everyone in the United States enjoyed Thanksgiving and isn't burning themselves out Black Friday shopping!  Today's post is a comparison of Sephora by OPI's "Metro Chic" and "Metro Too Chic."  Since the names are similar I decided to find out is they are dupes.  Here's how they look side by side in their bottles:

On the left if Sephora by OPI's "Metro Chic" and on the right is Sephora by OPI's "Metro Too Chic."

As you can see they look very similar in the bottle so I was keen to test them out of my nails. Formula wise both polishes were easy to apply and were completely opaque after two coats of nail polish.  The main difference between the polishes "Metro Chic" has a creme finish while "Metro Too Chic" has a shimmery finish.  Other than that both nail polishes are identical which isn't too surprising since they are both by the same company and feature almost identical names.  Both "Metro Chic" and "Metro Too Chic" are mini bottles that came in different sets.

"Metro Chic" is part of a QVC's special collection from a few Christmas' back.  The set looks like this:

"Metro Too Chic" is part of a mini collection called Metro Too Chic Collection which looks like this:

Overall I like both Sephora by OPI's "Metro Chic" and "Metro Too Chic" and they are definitely as close to identical as it could get.  The only difference is the slight shimmer in "Metro Too Chic." Both nail polishes are great and I will wear both polishes again!

Essie "Mochacino"

Hi guys!  I hope everyone is looking forward to Thanksgiving tomorrow (well at least in the United States.)  Today's nail polish is Essie's "Mochacino" which I had the pleasure of wearing to a wedding this past October.

"Mochacino" is a lovely light brown polish with lots of silver shimmer.  Formula wise this polish was just right and very easy to apply.  After two coats of nail polish "Mochacino" was completely opaque and streak free!  As for chipping I was able to wear "Mochacino" for about four days before there were some small tip chips.

Overall I am very happy with Essie's "Mochacino."  Everything about this nail polish is fantastic and I definitely plan on wearing it again and again!

Orly Color Blast "Frozen"

Hi everyone!  As we creep closer to December the weather continues to get colder and colder so I picked out a nail polish that goes with the weather.  Today's nail polish is Orly's Color Blast "Frozen" which is part of a collection based on the hit Disney movie Frozen.

"Frozen" is a light blue with a purple and silver holographic polish.  Formula wise "Frozen" is slightly watery but still easy enough to apply.  After two coats of polish "Frozen" was completely opaque but the holographic shimmer caused a fair amount of streak marks.  As for chipping I was able to wear "Frozen" for three days before there were some chips.

Overall I am very pleased with Orly's Color Blast in "Frozen."  The polish is pretty and fun and I think it is great that Orly branching out into drugstores at a more affordable price is fantastic!  I plan of trying out some more polishes from Orly's new line soon!

Essie "In Stitches"

Hi all and happy Saturday!  With Autumn in full swing I couldn't resist pulling out a nice berry colored polish!  So without any further ado today's nail polish is Essie's "In Stitches."

"In Stitches" is a nice dusty red colored polish.  Formula wise "In Stitches" is great and very easy to apply.  After two coats the polish was completely opaque and streak free.  As for chipping "In Stitches" lasted about five days before there were some noticeable tip chips, which is great for a red based polish.  (I often find they chip easily!)  Also I was worried about staining but "In Stitches" came off my nails very easily and left no stains!

Overall I am really like Essie's "In Stitches."  Everything about this nail polish is wonderful and perfect for Autumn!  I definitely plan on wearing this polish throughout the rest of Autumn and right into Winter!

Zoya "Prim"

Hi all and happy almost Friday!  (The weekend is nearly in sight again!)  With the release of the final installment of The Hunger Games trilogy I decided to pull out a polish that celebrates the movie.  So today's nail polish is Zoya's "Prim."

"Prim" is a very pretty cadet blue nail polish with a lot of silver shimmer.  Formula wise this nail polish was easy to apply and was completely opaque after two coats of polish.  However because of all the silver shimmer there were some visible streak marks.  As for chipping, "Prim" lasted about three days before there were some minor tip chips.

Overall I really like Zoya's "Prim."  Everything about this nail polish is great and I love the color!  I got lots of compliments and will definitely be wearing this nail polish a lot more often.

Formula X "Spectacle"

Hi everyone!  I can't believe Thanksgiving and Black Friday are only just a little over a week away!  It feels like it was just Summer yesterday and now the holiday season has arrived again!  So I picked out a lovely shimmery polish that is perfect for the season to wear today!  And that nail polish is Formula X for Sephora's "Spectacle."

"Spectacle" is a very pretty berry colored polish that dries matte.  Formula wise "Spectacle" was very easy to apply and went on nicely.  After two coats "Spectacle" was completely opaque and streak free.  As for chipping I was able to wear "Spectacle" for about five days before there were some noticeable tip chips.

Overall I am very happy with Formula X for Sephora's "Spectacle."  Everything about this nail polish is great and I will definitely wear "Spectacle" again soon!
