Star Kin: Love Cookies & Cream

  Um quite possibly one of my favourite manicures ever! Used here is OPI's Goldeneye, Star Kin's Love Cookies & Cream, and Moyou's black stamping polish, as well as some studs from Born Pretty Store.

Three coats of Love Cookies & Cream were used on pointer and pinky fingers; three coats of Goldeneye on the ring, and one coat of Moyou's black on the middle finger.

This is my other Star Kin polish, Whale Farts! Check it out here.

Comparison: OPI Spotlight vs. It's A Girl

I thought I'd do an updated comparison between OPI's In The Spotlight Pink and It's A Girl, as they look identical in their bottles! Spotlight is shown on the middle and pinky here, Girl is on the pointer and ring. Two coats of each. As you can see they are in the same colour family, it's just that Girl is milkier, giving you more coverage.

This is a swatch of OPI It's A Girl, two coats.

OPI In The Spotlight Pink - Femme de Cirque 2011

Today I have OPI's In The Spotlight Pink from their Femme De Cirque collection 2011. Spotlight is a gorgeous glassy pink polish. This is the one you go for when you want nails that look stunning yet natural. Three thin coats are shown here.

Treatment Tuesdays! L.A. Girls Hydrating Base Coat

L.A. Girl's Hydrating Base Coat has been my go to basecoat for almost a year now. My beautiful partner picked it up for me when he was out shopping, and what a great choice he made! 

I think L.A. Girl treatments range from around $6-$10. A bargain! 

The wear on this base coat was great. I say was because I've only a few drops left. It really helped keep my polish where it was supposed to be. It aided in stopping it chipping off at the corners too. 

OPI My Pointe Exactly - New York Ballet 2012

Today I have OPI's My Pointe Exactly! to show you. Pointe is from the New York Ballet collection which was last year's annual sheer collection. This is three coats shown here. A very nice jelly like formula.
