OPI - Midnight in Moscow - Vampilicious

Hi! Hope everyone is doing well today! Today I decided I wanted to go for something vampy. So here it is: OPI's Midnight in Moscow. It's from the 2007 fall Russian collection. This is such a pretty color, but very hard to capture on camera! I'd say the color is an almost black with red shimmer.

When I received this as a christmas present this year, I thought that it would be very similar to Black Cherry Chutney, which I also own. But Midnight in Moscow is more red toned, where BCC is more leaning towards a very dark shade of burgundy.

Anyway, I think this is a very classy nail polish, what do you think?

Oh btw, I found out that this Disqus commenting system is a pain in the *ss, but I can't seem to remove it, sorry! :-(

OPI - Dating A Royal - Jelly goodness!

This is today's mani, a blue jelly. Dating a Royal was so easy to apply, I was stunned. It did take 3 coats for maximum coverage though, but like I said, it went on like a charm!

I actually bought this one over 6 months ago and never used it, so since I'm going through my untrieds, I figured it was time for this little darling. And I don't know why it took me so long, because I absolutely adore this color!

OPI - Reflecting Pool / First Post

Welcome to my blog! First, let me give you a short little intro on who I am:
I'm Michele, a 25yr old Dutch girl, who, well you probably already guessed, happens to like nail polish, a LOT.
I've already posted quite a bit on a Dutch messageboard (www.fok.nl), but I figured a blog would be nice as well :-D. When I'm not busy painting my nails, I'm mostly at work, being a front end web developer, or working on my thesis.

Second: This blog wouldn't be a nail blog without pictures of pretty nail polish! The picture on the left shows OPI's Reflecting Pool. It's a medium blue with gold polish. It kinda has a foil finish!
And since I live in Europe, it was very easy for me to get my little hands on this pretty one.

Thanks for reading and I hope you'll enjoy my blog!

MY OWN NAILS

These are actually my own nails! I do not do my own nails because it is so nice to have someone else do them for you. I did however paint the stripes on myself. What can I say I just started playing around with my striping brush and this is what happened.

On these nails I used nebula acrylic and fushion fire sparkles. I added polish stripes to add even more fun. You really have to click directly on this picture to get the full effect of how cute these sparkles really are.

VALENTINE'S NAIL ART

So I guess this is what happens when you are done with winter! We are moving on to bright fun colors and even some Valentine's nails. Woo hoo! I am just too excited to do Valentine's nails. I couldn't help myself. This is pink acrylic in "barbie". The little red hearts I embedded into the acrylic and I painted on the red and white stripes.

These nails have 3 different colors of purple clay dots. The dots are from oaktreedollshouseminiatures.com. I also added a little coordinating clay flower on the ring fingers.

These are acrylic nails in purple passion. I added all sorts of different pieces of glitter strips, dots, sparkles, and sequins. They are extremely sparkly!

PARTY!

The question isn't what did I do on these nails but what didn't I do? I went all out on these. I used 3 colors of acrylic that I placed randomly on the nail. I added blue, pink and yellow mylar. I also used some glitter pieces. After I filed and shaped the nails I painted on the purple and white swirls then I finished with a gel top coat. They look like a party is going on right on her nails!

This is an icy blue acrylic by ez flow called venezia. I added little glitter strips into the acrylic and finished by painting on some snowflakes.

On these nails I used black acrylic in nebula and faded sparkles nail products glitter in black & white ball at the smile line.

These nails also have black acrylic in nebula and I used another glitter from sparkles nail art faded into it. Love love love the sparkles.
