Blacks, Greys, Glitters, Holos, Yippie!

$OPI "Never Enough Shoes", $OPI "212", OPI "My Private Jet", Color Club "Revvolution" China Glaze "OMG"



"Never Enogh Shoes" has been so far in my "untried" pile. I really need to fix that, it's gorgeous! MPJ and Revvolution remain two of my favorites, and I am feeling better about 212. OMG is of course, OMG awesome!




Ah, greys, gorgeous greys! Thumb - Pinky we have: Zoya Freja, China Glaze Recycle, Obsessvie Compulsive Cosmetics, "Dangerous", Zoya "Harley" and China Glaze "OMG".



Recycle and Dangerous are quite different, which is a relief. Recycle is thinner and lighter in color. It's still untried except for this swatch. Waiting for inspiration.

OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE - That's Me!



How great is a company that calls itself Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics? Because let's face it, collecting makeup is an obsession for quite a few of us out there. I like a brand with a sense of humor. Besides that, they have some fresh and interesting colors. While I have been branching out into the world of strange nail polish colors and finishes, I had a strong desire for a grey nail polish. No sparkle. Just a nice darkish creamy grey color. Maybe because one of my favorite suits is a grey pinstripe suit and I thought grey would be a funky polish but still wearable for court days. Then I saw Scrangie's blog and OCC's Blackboard, and I thought, what the hell, I gave blue polish a try, how about green?


I was oddly on the fence about this. I like the color, but I don't know how I felt about the color on me. Green is one of my favorite colors, but I have never worn green nail polish before. I caved when I saw it on Scrangie. It looked so perfect on her. But now I am not so sure. It’s interesting. It is a pretty green, but maybe too over powering for my skintone? I don’t know. It didn’t seem to wear well. I woke up with sheetmarks on my middle finger. I hate that. It’s one of the reasons I stopped wearing nailpolish. I had let the stuff dry for like 5 hours and a coat of Seche Vite before bed, so that was weird. Also seemed to show a lot of wear, scratches, “scuff” marks in the polish within just one day of wearing it. Defintely don’t like that. Hope Dangerous isn’t the same way, because I think I am going to love that color. Strangely, I didn't try Dangerous yet which was the grey polish I wanted so badly. Go figure.
