OPI Chapel of Love

Here I am again, with another classic OPI pink... This time, it's Chapel of Love, which has a much brighter tone than Aphrodite's Pink Nightie. This pink is also perfectly matched to my skin tone, so that the color really pops.



It even looks gorgeous in the bottle! As with most OPI's, this one had good application, but I still need three (or more) coats to get this lovely shade...



And now, for the ratings (please notice the extras)!

NUMBER OF COATS: 3
FINISH: shimmer (but very slight)
APPLICATION: 3/3
COLOR: good!
WEARABLE-NESS: good!!
HILTND: not so good... I got a lot of dents, even though I let it dry for an obscenely long time...

And make sure to check back next time for a white glitter... I just can't stop myself... :)

Wet 'n' Wild Desert Plum

Here's another old polish, but this time it's a Wet 'n' Wild one. This is a very pretty mauve creme, but the pictures I got were NOT color accurate... Check them out anyways... :)


This is actually one of my favorite colors so far, most likely because of how it can easily be worn to work without looking too over the top...



This picture was taken with two coats of polish, but one would have been fine. My nails got smudged so I had to add another coat. Without a top coat, this polish does NOT wear very well... But the color is definitely worth it... :)

POLISH RATING: 4.75/5

Revlon Ultra Violet

Here's a bizarre polish; an ugly color with perfect application! This is another old polish, but instead of getting thicker, I think it's gotten thinner. It still became completely opaque in two coats.



The bottle's kind of a weird shape, and the brush is actually a little bigger and a little wider than a normal brush. This probably helped my application technique.



However, this color turned out extremely ugly. Maybe it's just my nails, or maybe it's the lighting, but this is UGLY! It applied perfectly though...

Another weird thing about this polish is the finish. From up close, it's a shimmer, without a doubt. But in real life (and from these pictures) it looks like a creme. Even weirder, in the bottle, it looks almost like a duochrome, but not enough for me to classify it as such...

POLISH RATING: 4.25/5
COLOR RATING: 1.25/5

Wet 'n' Wild Red Red

I'm back! And this time with a classic red. This is another old one that I found in my cabinet, but it's such a classic I just had to try it. But first, here's what I put on my nails:



Yep, it's my usual China Glaze strengthening base coat and my cheap Sally's Beauty Supply top coat. And the actual color is just as cliche! Here's what it looked like on:




I apologize for the horrible state of my nails, but here's the basic color. In the bottle, it looked more like a creme, but it applied very similar to a jelly. I only needed one coat, and it dried relatively quickly. It's definitely not an original, but it's a classic!


Check back tomorrow for another awesome polish!

Finger Paints Psychedelic Pop

I'm back, once again, with a bright pink. This time it's Finger Paints Psychedelic Pop, which is a bright pink creme. This time, I used my mom's nails, and here's what I put on them:


As you can see, I used Nail Life Gripper as my base coat, Finger Paints Psychedelic Pop as the color, and Beauty Secrets Hardener as my top coat. Here's the end result:

Forgive the oddly shaped nails and polish line; it's my sister's doing! I personally thought one coat would have been enough, but we ended up putting two coats on, so it's a bit thick. Although this one is bright, I much prefer lower maintanance polishes... :)

That's it for this polish, but check back later to see even more!
