Sally Hansen Insta Dri "Pina Colada"

Hello everyone and happy Monday!  Today's nail polish is Sally Hansen Insta Dri's "Pina Colada" which was part of a collaboration with Jelly Belly Jelly Beans.  Here's how this nail polish looks in the bottle:

"Pina Colada" is a bright yellow creme.  The formula of this polish was quite thick and goopy.  The polish did not apply well to my nail - the bottle has a very wide brush and I have narrow nails so the polish glopped on instead of going on in nice even layers.  After two coats "Pina Colada" was mostly opaque but with several visible streak marks.  Typically I would have applied a third coat to try and even out the streaks but the thick layers prevented that.  Here's how "Pina Colada" looked up close:

Overall I am disappointed with Sally Hansen Insta Dri's "Pina Colada."  The color is so pretty but everything else about this polish was a struggle for me.  I am always on the look out for yellow polishes but this particular yellow won't be staying in my collection.

Sephora by OPI "Wild About Shimmer"

Hey guys and happy Sunday!  Today's nail polish is Sephora by OPI's "Wild About Shimmer" which was part of limited edition set from QVC.  Sephora by OPI is a retired brand of polish that used to be carried at US Sephora stores.  Here is how "Wild About Shimmer" looks in the bottle:

"Wild About Shimmer" is unsurprisingly a glitter - a gold and iridescent glitter in a clear base.  The glitter is absolutely gorgeous and is perfect for Summer.  The formula of this nail polish is wonderful and applied evenly to my nails.

Since "Wild About Shimmer" has a clear base I wanted to try it over an opaque polish - so I selected Ellen Tracy's "Fire Engine Red."  This combination turned out amazing and looked like actual fire, especially when the gold glitter shone in the light.  Look how pretty my nails were:

To show you how gorgeous this glitter is here is how "Wild About Shimmer" looks up close:

If you want to know mote about Ellen Tracy's "Fire Engine Red" check out my previous post from earlier this year!

Overall I am in love with Sephora by OPI's "Wild About Shimmer" and I cannot wait to wear this nail polish again and again!  It's shame this brand has been retired because I would love to get my hands on other glitters from this brand.

OPI "Pile On The Sprinkles"

Hi everyone and happy happy Wednesday!  (Halfway to the weekend!)  Today's nail polish is OPI's "Pile On The Sprinkle" which was part of a Hello Kitty collection.  Here's how these sprinkles look in the bottle:

"Pile On The Sprinkles" is a light purple with iridescent glitter in a variety of sizes.  The formula of this nail polish was pretty good and the glitter applied evenly to my nails.  The only downside is "Pile On The Sprinkles" has a clear base so the polish cannot be work alone since it is not made to be opaque.  Here's how the glitter looks in the bottle:

Overall I like OPI's "Pile On The Sprinkles" - the color is gorgeous and the formula is great, but I do wish it could be worn as a stand alone polish.  That being said I plan to try it as a top coat soon and I know it'll look great!

OPI "Can't Find My Czechbook"

Hello guys and happy Tuesday!  The sun was shining today so it was only right to wear a bright summer sky blue.  Today's nail polish is OPI's "Can't Find My Czechbook."  Here's how this pretty polish looks in the bottle:

"Can't Find My Czechbook" is a pretty aquamarine creme.  The formula of this polish was fair but it applied slightly streaky.  After three coats "Can't Find My Czechbook" wastefully opaque with only a couple small streak marks.  Here's how it looked up close:

Overall I have mixed feelings - I love the color of OPI's "Can't Find My Czechbook" but I wish it would apply with less streak marks.  That being said I do plan to keep this polish because with a little patience most of the streak marks can be covered up.
