White Cap: The First Polish I have Repurchased

My absolute favorite nail polish is China Glaze White Cap. I adore White Cap as a top coat and I have run out of my bottle after purchasing it just 1 year ago. If you do not own this polish yet i highly recommend adding it to your collection! Here are a few past manicures with White Cap as a top coat.

FREE OPI Pedal Faster Suzi :-)

Layered: Pink & Green

I purchased OPI Sit Under The Apple Tree last month on sale at Ulta. It is a beautiful, but VERY sheer lime green with shimmer. I wanted to find a use for this polish so I decided to try it for layering. Today I used two coats of Essie Pink Parka as a base, then one coat of Sit Under The Apple Tree on top. The lime green helped tone down the neon pink creating a beautiful manicure. I love the results!

I love Essie Pink Parka for layering because it dries so quickly. If you would like to see Pink Parka layered with White Cap click here, and if you would like to see it layered with China Glaze Lighthouse click here.

Purple Panic & Excuse Moi!

Excuse Moi! by OPI is pretty polish with a pink base and multi-colored glitter from the Muppets collection. It is a beautiful polish that could easily be opaque on its own in two coats. I love to layer, and I love bright pink polishes, so for this manicure I chose to use China Glaze Purple Panic as a base. Purple Panic is a fast drying neon pink polish. I have used it several times before in this manicure here and with my favorite polish, White Cap, here.

OPI DS Signature & Flowers

OPI DS Signature is a beautiful pink holographic polish. I wanted to use my Born Pretty flower stickers again but I did not have the patience to wait for layers of polish to dry so I chose DS Signature. It is opaque in one careful coat and dries very quickly. I am loving these flower stickers for fast, but beautiful manicures.

Flirty & Rainbow Connection & My Giveaway Winner!

Orly Flirty is one of my favorite pink polishes. If you would like to see what it looks like under China Glaze White Cap please view my post here. Today I used OPI Rainbow Connection as a top coat instead of White Cap. I love using one coat of Rainbow Connection as a top coat. For the finishing touch I added a flower sticker from bornprettystore.com. I have previously reviewed these stickers here. It is a very bright and busy manicure that is perfect for the weekend :)

I apologize it has taken awhile to tally the votes and contact the winner for my 900 follower giveaway. The winner of my 900 follower giveaway was Sam G! I will start shopping for polishes for my next giveaway soon. Thank you everyone for the nice comments and for following my blog :)

Zoya Roxy & FREE Rainbow Connection :-)

I ordered OPI Rainbow Connection from Amazon this week using a $5 gift card I earned from swagbucks.com which made it almost FREE :) You can read more about swagbucks and things I have earned here.

For this quick manicure I used two layers of Zoya Roxy and added one layer of OPI Rainbow Connection on top. Roxy is gorgeous on its own but it is even more eye catching with Rainbow Connection. I think I will be using Rainbow Connection for my next couple of manicures.. as long as I do not get too frustrated with its removal ;-)

DS Reserve & Fancy Fuchsia

Now that I have started working full time I have had less time to write blog posts, and my manicures have become very boring. I wore this cute combination this weekend. OPI DS Reserve and Orly Fancy Fuchsia are two of my favorite pink polishes so I figured why not try them together. This is a neat holographic combination but it was hard to apply an even coat of DS Reserve. This is two coats of Fancu Fuchsia with one thin coat of DS Reserve on top.

My Favorite Interview Manicure

In the last month I have gone on a couple job interviews, and I tried a different manicure for each one. This mani was my final and favorite "interview manicure" because I got the job :) I used two of my favorite polishes, Essie French Affair (two coats), and OPI Princesses Rule (top coat). For your next job interview I would recommend these polishes, they might bring you good luck as well!

OPI DS Reserve = LOVE

I picked up OPI DS Reserve at Ulta a few weeks ago. The closest Ulta to me is almost two hours away so it is always a treat to shop there. I decided to splurge on this OPI because I think it is gorgeous, and office appropriate. This is my second OPI DS polish, and they are both amazing. This is two coats, with Seche Vite on top.

Sparrow Me The Drama & Rainbow

Here is another simple layering manicure. I do not have much to say about this combination except I think these two polishes are pretty together. This manicure reminds me of China Glaze Exceptionally Gifted, except prettier. This is two coats of OPI Sparrow Me The Drama, with one coat of China Glaze Rainbow on top.

Purple Panic & I Lily Love You

I had the worst time photographing this manicure. This is China Glaze Purple Panic, with OPI I Lily Love You on top. You will just have to trust me that it is really pretty and the glittery flecks of I Lily Love You show up great! I Lily Love You is a great top coat, but I'm afraid it is going to be a pain to remove:(

Another FREE Polish :)

OPI I Lily Love You from the Nice Stems collection came in the mail last week. I ordered it from Amazon last week using one $5 gift card I earned from swagbucks.com. I love top coat polishes, so I have high hopes for I Lily Love You. You can read more about swagbucks and things I have earned here.

Pink & Silver Sublte Stamping

I loved how OPI Mermaid's Tears looked with silver stamping so I decided to try the same image and polish (Sally Hansen Celeb City) on top of OPI Sparrow Me The Drama. I love both of these manicure looks. If you would like to see what this stamping looks like on Mermaid's Tears you can view my post here.

Love: OPI Shorts Story & White Cap

I love pink polishes, and I LOVE China Glaze White Cap. When I finally finish my bottle of White Cap I will definitely be repurchasing it. This was a simple manicure but I still received several compliments. This is two coats of OPI Shorts Story, with one thin coat of China Glaze White Cap.

Mermaid's Tears & Silver Stamping

I love OPI Mermaid's Tears, it is the perfect creme base for stamping. I also love Sally Hansen Celeb City, which is perfect for stamping. This also happens to be one of my favorite Konad plate images. I think this is my favorite non-pink manicure I have tried so far :)

Pirate Skittles

I purchased the small OPI set from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection awhile ago and finally decided to use them. I wanted to test all four polishes out, so I painted my nails like this. They only stayed like this for a few hours, but it was fun to have rainbow nails for once. I love all of the Pirate colors, but I think in the future I will stick to the full size bottles and not the minis.

OPI: Sparrow Me The Drama

OPI Sparrow Me The Drama is a beautiful dusty pink that is unique from the dozens of other pink polishes in my collection. The formula was flawless, and was easily opaque in two coats. If you have not picked up this polish yet, I highly recommend both Sparrow Me The Drama, and Mermaid's Tears from the OPI Pirates collection.

Almost FREE Nail polish

These two polishes came in the mail today. I ordered them from Amazon last week using one $5 gift card I earned from swagbucks.com. If I had only ordered 1 OPI it would have been free, but I read good things about Shorts Story, and Ate Berries In The Canaries so I decided to pick them both up. The amazon seller I prefer sells each OPI for $4.99 each. You can read more about swagbucks and things I have earned here.

I Love OPI Mermaid's Tears

I was interested in all of the colors from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection but only ended up purchasing Mermaid's Tears and Sparrow Me The Drama in full size. I am surprised to say I like the dusty green Mermaid's Tears better than the pink Sparrow Me The Drama. I love creme finish polishes, and have no negative things to say about the application for Mermaid's Tears. This polish was easily opaque in two coats. I have always stayed away from the pricy OPI, but I am now convinced their polishes are worth every penny.
