Can’t resist a neutral. A lot of times, they are the perfect backdrop to a design. And this one doesn’t disappoint.
I chose a “pattern” but I’m thinking, this one would look great alone too!
OPI – “Did You ‘Ear About Van Gogh”
(2012 Holland Collection)
Par for OPI, the formulation is sublime. Creamy and even application, with perfect opacity. *two thumbs up*
Sinful Colors “Midnight Blue”
w/orange acrylic paint dots
I can’t seem to pinpoint what the dots remind me of, but it will probably come to me….eventually. Hopefully. lol.
Happy Easter!
OPI “What’s With The Cattitude”
w/yellow and pink acrylic dots
I’ve used this color a bunch of times…. so…
China Glaze “Turned Up Turquoise”
yes. I like this color 
.
I was excited to FINALLY receive my Influenster Love VoxBox!!! (www.influenster.com)
I was waiting until my nails grew out a little… enough to have a free edge to fold my nail stickers over.
The Stash Herbal Tea….. not really my favorite, though I do love herbal tea. I still haven’t tried the Venus razor (as I’m more partial to Veet for hair removal), nor have I tried the Truvia. I haven’t found a use for it since I don’t use sweetener for my tea…. but now that I think about it…. Maybe I’ll like the Stash Tea better if I use the Truvia. I’ll try it, and give you all the update.
OBVIOUSLY, I loved the Ghirardelli chocolate. Smooth and silky! I tried it when I was craving chocolate during PMS, so it was even BETTER! lol. Ahhhh chocolate.
And now for the highlight to this whole package for me!!!…
Kiss Nail Dress “Cocktail”
Cute right?
I’m no longer interested Kiss nail products. This is the second epic FAIL I’ve experienced. (the first was the Kiss Nail Art Stencils – *thumbs down*)
These little stickers LOOKED nice on. They were extremely easy to apply.
They FELT horrible. Yes, past tense. I peeled the little suckers off my nails about 3 hours ago. They didn’t even last on my nails 24 hours.
The ends were prickly on the free edge of my nail. I think that’s why I like the nail polish/lacquer strips better. They adhere flat and smooth to your nail bed and feel just like polish.
This nail sticker design also had little bubbles of shiny sparkly little rhinestone thingys. Cute to look at, but with my self-diagnosed tactile OCD toward my nails, I was distracted by the little bumpy feel on my nails. I can’t stand a snag on my nail, a hangnail, a split layer, chipped polish…. none of that. So, these basically had to come off.
Perfect for an extended vacation. No need for polish removers or anything. I applied these while comfortably watching television. And quickly!
I would definitely recommend them for little girls who want really cute nails and those who don’t feel as skilled with neat polish application or nail art.
dots on dots on dots.
This formulation is horrible. Streaky. Difficult to apply. But it’s a beautiful bright bubblegum pink. So, I guess I’ll continue using it. *shrugs* lol (….and it’s inexpensive.)
Sinful Colors “Pink Forever”
& green acrylic paint dots
*inserting gratuitous shoe pic* lol
On my trip to Amsterdam with my sister several years back, we crossed all over the Red Light District…. I only saw ONE red light…. and never saw ONE window. SMH. But I saw a zillion coffeeshops. lol. I really need to go back.
I wanted my fingernails blue, but to tie in this beautiful bright red from OPI’s 2012 Holland Collection I went ahead and made some accent nails. With dots, naturally.
OPI “Red Lights Ahead…Where?”
& China Glaze “For Audrey”
China Glaze “Classic Camel”
w/ dark pink acrylic paint dots
It just looks like a Giraffe print to me. So Camels & Giraffes. Do they even have camels at the zoo???? Wait, do they have giraffes at the zoo? I haven’t been to the zoo in far too long…. obviously.
The “Classic Camel” is prettier in the bottle than on my nails. It does, however, have a beautiful gold shimmer. But the drabness and neutrality makes for a great nail art base color.
…… with a little St. Patrick’s day on the side.
I have been anxious to get this deep vibrant orange polish on my nails for about 2 weeks now. It was the main color I decided I needed from OPI’s Holland Collection.
But I had to give the Irish in me at least a little shout out. Yes, I’ve got that Scot-Irish last name thing happening. I have a red-headed Irishman for a great-great or something. So, I added a couple clovers.
OPI “A Roll In The Hague”
Sinful Colors “Irish Green”

Have a Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!! Enjoy your green libations! 
Yes, this color is IT! Perfect summertime polish.
OPI “The ’It’ Color”
w/aqua acrylic paint dots
