Tinted Wings: OPI Black Shatter and China Glaze Lighthouse

I've been fascinated with gold - the color and jewelry (hey, who isn't?). Not all gold polishes deliver as much pigmentation on the bottle as when it is on the nails. China Glaze Lighthouse looked too yellow in the bottle but on the nails, it was just the right shade of gold for me.

China Glaze Lighthouse

With natural light

Was it me or does this flood the cuticles?

And because I could not leave it well enough alone, this happened after just a couple of days...

With OPI Black Shatter, voila! Instant animal print, tee hee :)

Gold + black shatter = Purrrrty.

Tinted Wings: OPI SSITP AND China Glaze Crushed Candy

A quick post before I'm off to a meeting.

NOTM (Nail of the Moment -- because I tend to change polish sometimes within the day, crazy...):

This is China Glaze Crushed Candy over OPI Suzi Skis In The Pyreness (which, for some reason, I did not get a photo of before topping with CG -- this surprised me because it dried to a jelly finish and even looked yummier when I topped it off with Seche Vite)

with Seche Vite Top Coat --- pretty!

Holding the future in my hand :)

Crushed candy and jelly! Toink toink :P

Lootbag: NARS,OPI, China Glaze,The Make-Up Store, Wet N' Wild

I realized I went a little overboard when I saw these photos AND when there was no more room in my stackable plastic boxes (I have four -- oh, Helmer such a major lemming).

Warning, photo overload ahead!

At last, I have been waiting for these babies (Wet N' Wild Spring 2011) to hit our shores :) Hanna Pinktana, Gray's Anatomy and NARS Schiap (SA at Essenses pronounced this as Si-siyap-- ookaay)

Wet N' Wild Blue Wants To Be A Millionaire; Buffy The Violet Slayer (I know, right? Somebody loves their TV shows...)

NARS Zulu

Essie Sew Psyched

China Glaze (CG) Recycle and For Audrey. Yes, it's a beaute. Sigh -- green and gray!

China Glaze Liquid Leather, Flying Dragon, Custom Kicks

Pasalubong from SG (kisses Babe!)

OPI Mod About You; Suzi Skis In The Pyreness; Over The Taupe (yep, more browns!)

Of all, I was very excited with these lovelies. The Make-Up Store Holos Greta and Madeline. Hubby prefered Madeline coz of the color but when I tried on Greta, he was a convert (I even swatched it on his thumb, yeba)

My very first bottles of Seche Vite Top coat. The tiny one was a freebie, it's soooo cute however, it was kinda awkward to hold with its teenie top and short handle but it can do :)

So, yeah, I guess I have to be on a no-buy-just-look for a month or two.... The Snake Nails from Tony Moly would have to wait, sigh.
