Zoya Opal
Today's post is a flakie!
Zoya Opal. Green Flakie!!! 2 coats over black. I love flakies and I love green. This has a blue duochrome to it too so it is perfect. I have zero problems with this. Formula is great, dry time is great... this thing is just overall great! I really can't say much more about it other than you should get it if you haven't already!
Thanks for reading, until next time!

Icing Magnetix Green
Today's post is one of the Icing Magnetix colors... This is a green and I can't seem to find a name... so if there is one and I missed it... I'm sorry!
2 coats. I looove this color! I used the magnet on the cap for the ring and index finger, and for the ring and pinky I used the China Glaze magnet to see how it would work on this and it worked pretty great. I love how it looks with its own magnet the best, though! The design appeared almost instantly when I put the magnets over it. Works so well, dries fast, and looks great. I'm in love. I'm going to have to get more of these!
Thanks for reading, until next time!

China Glaze - Luxe and Lush
Today's post is more China Glaze Hunger Games :)
Luxe and Lush. 1 coat over black. This is the same kind of flakie as Essie Shine of the Times and Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure and all those, but this is shredded flakes. This is fantastic. I love that this is huge and chunky. Looks great over black, can't wait to play with it over other things when I finally have time time!
Thanks for reading, until next time!

China Glaze - Smoke and Ashes
Today's post is another color I picked up from the Hunger Games Collection from China Glaze.
Smoke and Ashes. 2 coats. This is a gorgeous black with tiny green glitter. I really love this is the sunlight. It looks black in the shade, but in the sunlight it comes alive with the green. Formula is great, and dries fast. I really love these kinds of colors that have a subtle hint of color. Definitely a fave!

Claire's - Night Sky
Today's post is a dark holo glitter that I bought on a whim at Claire's and I'm sooo glad I did!
Night Sky is a gorgeous deep blue microglitter in a clear base with chunky holo glitter throughout. 3 coats. 2 of the pictures above are blurred to show the holo. The holo glitter on this is really strong. The only issue I have with this is that its really goopey and think. I will probably thin it next time I wear it. Other than that, this color is fantastic! I love dark holos!
Thanks for reading, until next time!

Polarized. Silver microglitter with multicolor medium glitter throughout. There's no duo in this one.. its just silver with party glitter. I really like this despite its lack of duo that the rest of its siblings have. This is 3 coats, dries fast and like the others is gritty.

Liquid Crystal. This one is one of the stronger duochromes in this collection. I swatched it over black on the ring finger to show off that duochrome. Its mostly blue but it shifts to a lilac/purple kind of color. This is one of the sheer ones in this collection but works amazingly over black. This is 3 coats alone and 1 coat over black on the ring finger.

Prism. This is a purple/pink/blue duochrome with the multicolor glitter. This is 3 coats and 1 coat over black on the ring finger. This one is also kind of sheer, but I'm sure I could have built it up to be opaque I was just too lazy too -_-'. It looks gorgeous over black. I love it!!

OPI - Thanks a Windmillion
Hey guys! This week all posts are scheduled because on top of my full time school schedule, 2 jobs, and workout schedule, I'm on crew for a musical at my school and its eating up all my time. This is the first of my scheduled posts!
Thanks a Windmillion is a light sea foam green creme. 2 coats. This is a lot like Mermaid's Tears but its definitely murkier. I love the dusty/murky kind of colors so this is definitely a favorite! Formula was typical of OPI cremes. Easy to apply, dries fast. No complaints on this one... and its different enough from Mermaid's Tears to justify having both ;)!
Thanks for reading, until next time!
Just wanted to thank everyone for hanging in there with me for the last couple of months while I've been a really bad blogger. My schedule is ridiculously crazy and I barely have time to sleep. Thank you all!
Okay, on to today's post. This is one of the two colors I got from the Holland collection from OPI. This was actually a birthday present from Miss Princess Mari. (Check out her blog!). Both photos are under artificial light because it was a rainy day when I did my nails this color.
