This year’s OPI Holiday 2013 Collection is the second collaboration between OPI and the amazing singer and international superstar Mariah Carey. OPI Holiday 2013 Mariah Carey collection features 12 nail lacquers and 6 Liquid Sands, making it for a total of 18 limited edition shades, which is quite an unprecedented number for a holiday nail lacquer collection in our memory.
Hey Everyone, please don’t tell me you didn’t do your nails this weekend 🙂 Of course you did! So why don’t you #showmeyourmani?
Let’s do a “mini-flashmob” and show each other what we are wearing on our nails this week! A simple phone photo posted in the comments to this post will do.
Even if you don’t “show me yours”, please feel free to like and comment – we’re mind-sakes after all..
Essie Velvet Voyeur with accent finger China Glaze Rendezvous With You #showmeyourmani
My personal pick for this week’s mani is Essie Velvet Voyeur with accent of China Glaze Rendezvous With You. A purple near-black with an accent of gritty, vintagey metallic to add some visual texture to the look. Who else loves their purples for fall? What are your personal favorite fall nail colors? Hope to hear from you soon 🙂
Thank you and take care,
Liliana

We’re excited to have ordered new A-England collection 2012 called “Gothic Beauties”. It ties in wonderfully with the whole Gothic theme lots of fashion designers are going for this coming season, and also reflects some of England’s moods throughout its history, fiction and mythology… The polishes are named after famous characters, who suffered through their lives in one way or another.. The collection is a group of 5 subtly shimmering colours, with the brand’s ultra black shade ‘Camelot’ forming the backbone behind each hue. The collection is scheduled to arrive next week (possibly earlier than it will be available on their website). All polishes are part of our “We Love Nail Polish” promo deal! $14.99 each reg. price.

Hey everyone,
Wearing China Glaze Swanky Silk color on my nails feels almost like playing “I Spy” game and trying to spot all the multi-chrome color changes that this color provides! 🙂
It’s a sophisticated champagne color with very strong rose and khaki-gold flash. Indoors with artificial light i could swear i’m wearing an intense platinum mirror metallic polish and once i step out it becomes its laid-back rose-gold polish self again.
Due to the way it creates two darker lines at the sides, it makes my nails appear more narrow and elongated. I personally like this effect.
The name is very appropriate, since this color does remind me a lot of this pale gold-rose silk taffeta used in evening gowns and i almost expect it to produce a swishy sound when i look at it 🙂
Application of metallic polishes is a bit on a tricky side. Please make sure you leave around 1/3 of polish on the brush and try not to go around the same spot too many times. Allow full 3-5 minutes dry time between coats. For China Glaze Swanky Silk color, 2 coats were enough for full coverage and color show.
I find that China Glaze Swanky Silk color is work-appropriate and low-maintenance, considering that it’s more forgiving on the tip wear and matches all your outfits. On me it almost matches my skin color and i kind of like that. It’s a nice wearable neutral with a twist.
Hope you enjoyed the review and more swatches to come!
Take care,
Liliana
