So much for me keeping Cashmere Cardigan on for the weekend. I got all distracted by Essie’s Angora Cardi. It was a winner for the weekend. 
It’s not quite a rose color and it’s close to Butter’s Tramp Stamp.
Very pretty!
Ok, I’m wearing this right now…and am loving it. Hopefully I can keep it on for the weekend unless I get distracted by another color in my collection! Essie’s Shelter Island and OPI’s No Room For the Blues still keep calling me.
How pretty is this? LOVE IT!!!
Now I must wear Essie’s Angora Cardi on Monday…or tomorrow. 
Things that make me go SQUEEEEE…and when I saw this on my nails, I sure did that.
I’m currently wearing this on my nails – loving this shiny foil like effect!
Out of all the 3 Foil Fxes, this one flattered me the most and I loved it. I looked at it on me and the only thought that ran through my head was, “This reminds me of rose gold!”
It looked super futuristic on me, but I did like this…it reminded me of an old school Urban Decay I had about 15 years ago.
Not one my favorites…only because it’s too close to gold and I look awful in gold. Rose gold (I love it makes things have an antique-y feel to it!) is a bit cooler in tone so I find I tend to favor it than straight up yellow gold. When I looked at this color from a distance on me it really wasn’t very flattering for me.
Ah…it is like butta! The colors are fabulous, the application flawless…the smell isn’t as revolting as other polishes, thank God. It still smells like nail polish, but it’s a lighter smell — is that even possible?
One of those eponymous greys for this spring. It’s similar to Chanel’s Particuliere and Color Club’s High Society. This has a bit more grey than the others…it’s nice, but I def prefer Tramp Stamp.
I don’t know why but this color really had love written all over for me. It looks like a light raisin color in the sun, but it’s not. It’s truly a rich, gorgeous purple-y brown…freaking fabulous. The color is closer to real life in the shade shot. Isn’t it beautiful?
Two things:
1) click the thumbnail you want to see, then click the same thumbnail again after it’s taken you to another page
2) Please excuse the badly mangled cuticles and lack of moisturizing on them…OPI said don’t use a base coat, don’t use a top coat, don’t use any lotions, etc while wearing this. Blah, blah, blah. I followed it for the most part…except on a few where they said “NO BASE COATS!!!” I used one. Bite me.
For the most part, I won’t be saying anything really because the pics really do speak for themselves.
IMO, it looks best with a top coat…don’t you agree? It just makes the color so much prettier!
Again, I like it better with the top coat…it just brings out the prettiness of the color.
Hm. Jury’s out on this one for me.
Some Essie Swatches I’ve been meaning to upload, but kept forgetting…until now!
I thought I was gonna love this color when I put it on me. Nerp. Nope. Didn’t like it one bit…NOT ONE BIT. It almost looks like I’ve got skittles on my fingers, doesn’t it? LOL
Not a bad shade of a pastel. It’s not too obnoxious, but it will do. At least it doesn’t look like Skittles. 
This is my favorite of the three. I guess when it comes down to it, I like purple – even if it’s lavender.
I found these random China Glaze swatches I had done…don’t know when, but it seems like it was a while ago.
China Glaze’s tribute to Audrey Hepburn. They made a Tiffany blue just for her. As some or most of you know, Tiffany’s holds the patent for the blue so you can only get close to replication, but not the actual blue…or green. Or whatever color it is.

Oddly enough…I really liked this color. It is a true periwinkle. While this color never looks good on me in reality, in my head I say it looks fabulous and keep on wearing it.

Not one of my favorite colors. I thought this was the ghetto cousin of Midnight In Moscow. Yea, I went there.
I had some old school Nars nail polish from the mid 90s…and I so wish I hadn’t lost them in all our moving. They came with me from Vegas…to the Bay Area…then to Chicago…I swore I packed them when we moved to Scotland…Swore up and down I saw them in a box when we landed in Arizona…Swore again that I had it when we went to live in India…Thought I couldn’t find it so I checked when I got back to Arizona…then thought I had left them in California…nope, they’re gone. Poof. Vanished. Forever.
Then I got these… *drools* You cannot fully appreciate them until you make them mondo huge on your screen – click the image and you will be taken to that same image but on a different page. Click the same image again and then BAM! insta big picture and you’ll go, “OMG! I have to get these colors!!!1!”
Look at that. I’m absolutely speechless. A gorgeous purple nail polish with a subtle magenta-like shimmer that just throws this color into another realm.
Almost appearing like a berry purple in shade, this little chameleon of a color totally changes in direct sunlight…it looks almost wine-y with a lovely bronze shimmer that runs through it. Fabulous!
