OPI Samoan Sand

Beige nude jelly. I bought it to try the mannequin hands trend that was popular a few years ago.

The formula is sheer but not streaky. It seems like it could be a good jelly sandwich polish. However, I’m not sure if the shade works as my mannequin hands. Do you think it suits my skin tone?

Thanks for looking!

OPI Jade is The New Black

 
Collection: Hong Kong (2010 Spring)

Dusty blue based green cream. This is one of my favorite creams as I love its buttery formula. The color itself is great too, unique when it first came out, though there are a few dupes now.

The only gripe I have with this polish is the lobster hands it gives me. It won’t stop me from wearing this polish though.

Polish Days: Vintage

It’s Polish Days again!

Polish Days is a monthly event where nail bloggers post their theme-inspired manicures at the same time. It was brought together by Hannah who also does the logistics needed each time.

The first thing that comes to mind when I think ‘vintage’ is soft (but not necessarily light) shades.My impression is ‘old but classical’ – colors that were aged and slightly faded though the passage of time.

China Glaze Midnight Mission

Collection: Vintage Vixen

Navy blue with silver micro-glitter. I bought this in hopes that it’ll kill my lemming for Essie Starry Starry Night. It’s beautiful and does look like the night sky.

The formula and application was smooth and easy. No problems to report of at all. Sadly, this didn’t kill my lemming so I guess I’ll still be keeping eye out for other alternatives.
