{Glitter Week} Glitter Half Moon Manicure...

No theme week is complete without a manicure, and since I've been meaning to try a glitter half moon mani after seeing one on Emily last month, I figured there was no time like the present. The verdict? It's pretty much the greatest manicure known to man. The end result is just so chic and fun, and the glitter really takes it up a notch. I think I'll have to try it again with pastel base, perhaps a nice mint... Oh the possibilities.

Happy Thursday, friends! xx

OPI Skyfall Collection - the reds

Although I'm not usually a red nail polish person (I much prefer pink) I can't help but feel a little bit more in the holiday mood when I have red nails.  The OPI Skyfall collection has gorgeous shades of reds that are perfect for the holidays.

 

"Die Another Day" is a gorgeous red with lots of shine but no shimmer and is my absolute favorite if the bunch.  It's so gorgeous on and when I was wearing it, had so many people ask me what color this was as everyone loved it!

 

"Skyfall" is a deep maroon also with no shimmer and is a good darker color for those of us with pale skin.  I think this color would look pretty as a matte too!  I'm going to try it with my matte topcoat next time.



"You Only Live Twice" is actually more pink than red and has a hint of shimmer in it.  My apologies for the bad picture of this color but it's actually really pretty in person and definitely a pink that I will be reaching for often.

 "The Spy Who Loved Me" is a pretty red with shimmer in it and I think perfect for a holiday party. 

I received the entire Skyfall Collection and I have to say, there is not one color that I don't like out of it!  It's seriously one of my favorite collections that OPI has done.

Mariah Carey by OPI

So excited for the Mariah Carey by OPI collection!  I am a fan of both and love everything about this collection.  They are bringing a new texture as well called Liquid Sand which is a textured, matte finish infused with reflective sparkle.

Stage Shades which all include the new textured finish are:

• Stay the Night (Make it last in this matte black with red glints)
• The Impossible (This matte fuchsia with star confetti will never give up)
• Can’t Let Go (Hold onto this matte purple with dazzling sparkle)
• Get Your Number (Wearing this matte blue with sparkles is a great call)

OPI Liquid Sand lacquers should always be worn without top coat.

Studio Shades include:

• A Butterfly Moment (This sophisticated and frosty tan nude has us all a-flutter)
• Pink Yet Lavender (This pink glitter with lavender shimmer has superstar shine!)
• Anti-bleak (This deep, creamy purple will lift your spirits)
•  Sprung (Fall hopelessly in love with this shimmery copper) 

There is not one shade that I don't like in this collection.  Can't wait to try it out!
