Models Own Prey with China Glaze Snow Globe

Found some photos of my Models Own mani with China glaze Top Coat.

Models Own Prey is definitely not a new color. It’s a dirty taupe brown-cappuccino cream. But taupe was quite fashionable this fall. The reason I got is quite prosaic. It was a part of my Models Own Beetle Juice order and I didn’t know what to add order when I remembered that I’m looking for the substitute for OPI You Don’t Know Jacques. I OPI a while ago, but gave it away because it just wouldn’t stay on my nails more than 1 hour. I loved the color though and Prey is very similar to it.

China Glaze Snow Globe…OMG….I love it! It’s a clear-based multi-colored glitter. After I already got mine I saw MAC also had the similar one called Unconditionally Fabulous. Because the base is almost transparent I would definitely use it as a top coat.

Following Fall 2011 Nude Trend with Timeless Shades: Orly Blushalicious

Hey Beauties!

I found Orly Blushalicious in my stash lately, and I thought that this nail polish that I bought at least 3 years ago is not only timeless due to the subtle and very preserved shade, but also quite trendy this Fall.

For the fans of nude and beige nail polishes Blushalicious is a definite must-have. For girls like me, who prefers more dark and rich shades, this polish will anyways be a quite nice addition.

Orly Blushalicious is anything but boring nude/beige. From the distance it might seem to be a beige crème, but in a closer look the peach/gold shimmer is apparent. This shimmer makes this polish interesting.

OPI Touring America Mini Set swatches

I wasn’t’ planning on buying OPI Touring America nail polishes. I don’t know why, just had more wanted ones on my list.
 I got this mini-set as a present from one of my friends as a present and it includes pretty much all of the nail polishes I wanted from this collection except  Road House Blues.

The set consists of 4 small sized nail polishes:

1.    -     French Quarter for your Thoughts

2.    -    Honk if You Love OPI

3.   -     A-Taupe the Space Needle

4.  -      Are We There Yet?

     Are we there yet? Is a melon crème with a little bit of shimmer. It has some orange undertones as well. 2 coats are enough, but for the full opacity I would recommend 3 coats.

    A-taupe the Space Needle is an espresso brown, one of my favorites from this collection.  It’s definitely a very fall color, with an earthy kind of feel. I would say that A-taupe the Space Needle probably will not find a lot of affection in the hearts of nail polish lovers, because it is on the uglier side. But this fall ugly color really has been a huge trend, like CG trendsetter and WestSide Warrior. I absolutely adore it for the uniqueness.

    French Quarter for Your Thoughts is a light grey crème, color of the dry concrete. It reminds me a lot of the Skull and Glossbones from the Pirates of the Caribbean Collection that I already have. So, it’s nothing very special to me.

    Honk if You Love OPI is a very dark purple crème, almost black, but still not black. It’s a very interesting shade. I personally really liked in on my toes J. Its jelly based, so 3 coats are needed for the full opacity.
