Parlez-Vous OPI?!!

I love this colour! I wear it so much lately that I'm going to need to buy another bottle soon and I just hope I can find it. Parlez-Vous OPI? is a greyish purple lilac creme and it's from an old Fall 2008 OPI Collection called La Collection De France... I'm embarrassed to say I forgot I even had it but happy I do!

Turquoise Moonlight - Quo by Orly

I'm really starting to like Orly! This polish is fabulous... The formula, the application and the colour are just amazing. I'm wearing two coats of what I think was the smoothest and easiest polish that I've applied in a long time. The only bad thing that I can say about this polish is that Quo is an exclusive brand to Shoppers Drug Mart stores. Orly partnered with Quo for an exclusive release in Canada so it's not going to be the easiest colour to find but if you do it retails for $10 and worth every penny. I've done some research online and although I have not seen them for myself, Orly Halley’s Comet, OPI Catch Me In Your Net and Zoya Charla are all possible dupes for all you non-Canadians.

The polish colour is hard to describe and the pictures do not do it justice... Quo by Orly: Turquoise Moonlight has a turquoise base packed with what appears to be tiny gold, green and turquoise flakies and glitter that give it a beautiful green duochrome look. The finish is amazing, not the usually chunky rough feel you get with glitter nail polish and there is no running or dripping while applying... the polish stays exactly where you put it, just an overall amazing formula and application. I loved the colour the moment I saw it in the drugstore but I was not expecting just how amazing it would be once I put it on. If you can't tell yet, I am absolutely loving this polish!!!!

OPI Road House Blues - Touring America Collection

If you recall from my last post, I used the OPI Road House Blues for the marble accent nail art and have been dying to try it out on it's own ever since. It's from the OPI Touring America fall collection and I'm really looking forward to getting the rest of the colours. The formula was wonderful, it took two coats and it even looked great without a topcoat. The colour is AMAZING, when indoors it's a rich navy blue but in the light it has deep purple undertones. I love Road House Blues. I usually like to wear bright colours in the summer but with fall around the corner and blue nail polishes being "in" this season, it's just perfect.

I really wish I had a better camera for this post, my camera does this colour NO justice but I couldn't wait to share it, it's absolutely beautiful!! I will definitely be updating with better pics!

Weekend Manicure: China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint With Marble Accent

So I've been buying lots of random colours recently but haven't had a chance to try any out due to my new obsession with the Sally Hansen nail strips. I finally took them off last night, I haven't had regular polish on my nails for over a month!

I decided on a pale green minty colour from the China Glaze Up & Away collection called Re-Fresh Mint. I have a small obsession with accent nails so I decided to attempt some marble nail art, not quite one of my strongest skills. For the accent nail marble I used the CG Re-Fresh Mint and OPI Road House Blues (Touring America Collection) which ended up looking more purple then blue. It's a really nice deep blue with purple undertones. It smudged a bit when I was putting the top coat on so I topped it with OPI Happy Anniversary! which adds a nice shimmer to the nail.

I love, love, love the Re-Fresh Mint, it's a great summer colour and it only took two coats to look amazing! I apologize for the quality of the pictures, I will have a much better camera soon!
