Gold Top Coats - OPI The Man with the Golden Gun vs Zoya Gilty

Just a quick post comparing the two gold top coats.  The only real difference I can see is Zoya Gilty has bigger gold flakes. Also, Zoya Gilty comes in a 3 piece box set with Raven and Purity for $35 and OPI's The Man with the Golden Gun is $30 a bottle.




Close up - Zoya is on the left OPI on the right



Below I'm wearing OPI The Man with the Golden Gun on my index and ring fingers and Zoya Gilty on my middle and pinky fingers. 



Below is a shot of Zoya Raven alone

My Epic Haul (of Shame...)

So yesterday on my lunch break I went to pick up the full OPI Germany collection and 3 OPI Halloween mini sets that I ordered.  I also ended up getting 2 OPI Pink of Hearts 2012 sets.  I thought this was a pretty nice haul and happily walked back to my office...



Now comes the shame part...

I saw these on my walk back and just had to have them... So I went from having no KleanColor polishes to now having 48 mini bottles and 2 bottles of Nicole by OPI's It's up to You...




Hello my name is KimKim and I'm a polishaholic... 

Here is a pic of my epic haul (of shame):

Mattese Elite - Mon Amour

After the OPI Baby Blue fail I wanted something bold and flashy! Mattese Elite's Mon Amour was the perfect answer. Just look at the bottle! Look at all that GLITTER!!!

 

 I got a little glitter happy... I think this is 3 coats of full coverage (no undies)

 

 So pretty! I couldn't stop looking at it

OPI - Baby Blue (FAIL!!!)

I got some nail mail today - YAY!!!

 The first bottle I wanted to try was OPI's Baby Blue.  Just look how pretty the bottle is!!! I looks beautiful!



 Then I tried it on....



This is a quick and dirty pic - no clean up, no topcoat, no nothing! This color definitely NEEDS and "undie."  Of course this was REMOVED from my nails RIGHT AWAY!!!

OPI DS Sapphire over Wet n Wild Teal Steel

Yesterday, I wore Wnw Teal Steel. It was pretty. A nice pretty bluish teal(?). Easy application, nice bright color

3 coats of Wet n Wild Teal Steel

Today, I decided I wanted to wear OPI's DS Sapphire. I've tried it on before - Sapphire by itself is kind of a grayish/silver light blue holo.  It's pretty but I didn't LOVE it... I knew from prior experience that I needed to find Sapphire an "underwear."

So instead of removing yesterday's polish I was just going to paint over them and try to find DS Sapphire's "panty." I looked through my bins for any light/sky/baby/pastel blue I could find. I had them lined up and was about to start. Then I decided to just try and paint Sapphire over WnW Teal Steel. I LOVED IT!!! And here it is:

1 coat of OPI DS Sapphire over 3 coats of Wet n Wild Teal Steel


Isnt it pretty?!?!

I know it's not a great "panty" for DS Sapphire. But I don't care I like it! I'll Probably try a lighter polish under Sapphire next time. But for today I'm happy!

OPI BLACK SPOTTED!!! (over chrome)

I am in love with it! It's fun but can't waste any of it... lol I was ready to buy 9 bottles (yup at 13.90 euros a bottle) of this polish off of Sephora's french website - UNTIL it came to shipping - they wouldnt ship to the US...
First, I used Wet n Wild's new(ish) chromes

 

Thumb - I Got a New Com-pewter, Pointer - Hog-Quartz School, Middle - Grew Up in Cobalt-imore, Ring - Preious Petals, and Pinky - Stay Outta My Bimuth

THEN OPI's BLACK SPOTTED!!!!!





OPI's Black Spotted - I LOVE IT! (but I still love shatter) The application is KINDA like shatter. The thinner the coat of polish the better (you can always add a little more). I think the polish was thinner than shatter and it has a shiny finish unlike shatter's dull finish until you add topcoat.

I have OPI's Black Spotted!!!

IT'S HERE!!! YAY!!! OMG I don't believe it's here (WHY AM I WEARING DARK POLISH TODAY?!?!?!?!) I will definitely be playing with this polish tonight!



Will post more pics tonight/tomorrow... :)

Deborah Lippmann - Edge of GLORY!!!

Deborah Lippmann for Gaga's Workshop Barney New York Edge of Glory I know this came out last year, but I just got it last week and I love it! Yes, I bought 2 sets and the Juicy pack also... What can I say... They were PRETTY! The base color is a black creme. This is 2 coats (please don't mind the nicks and mess, I was rushing to get pics in the sun - it was a rainy day) Then you add the 3d holographic top color! It has blue, orange, and green flakies! (I think I need to find the Finger Paints LE flakies next...)

Essie - Coat Azure

Coat Azure - a breathtaking medium blue with shimmer This is the first polish I chose to wear after taking off my Gelish. It's a beautiful blue with micro-shimmer! Love the color, easy application. Not the best pic below but I found this polish at Ross for $3.49! Yup, $3.49 - SCORE!

Nails after Gelish...

I've been playing with Gelish and other soak off gel polishes for the past year (almost a year). It was nice knowing that my polish wouldn't chip for 2 weeks and I could always paint over them like regular nails. Here are some pics of my nails after I soaked off the Gelish... My nails seem fine, not thin or damaged - that's just some of the gel that didn't soak/scrape off completely.

I'm back...

WOW! I can't believe it's been almost a year since my last post. I was mainly playing with Gelish and other soak off gel polishes since my last post but I'M BACK now! :)
