OPI Let's Do Anything We Want!

     Today, I have Let's Do Anything We Want! from OPI's Muppets Most Wanted collection to show you guys. Let's Do Anything We Want! is a pink and white glitter topper in a clear base. I don't know if it's supposed to be based on a character from the film but since it's pink I would bet on Miss Piggy (But that's just a guess). This polish is probably my favorite one of the collection though. So without further ado here is Let's Do Anything We Want!:

     For these pictures I used two coats of Let's Do Anything We Want!, over two coats of OPI My Vampire Is Buff, followed by a layer of top coat. This polish applied fairly easily...well let me extrapolate that: The small pink and white glitter applied easily...the large white squares...not so much. They kind of have to be dug out and placed where you want them. Which is kind of a pain in the butt to be honest. That said I think the effort is well worth it. I freaking love this polish. It's so pretty, I'm in love. I'm officially putting matte white glitter on my list of favorite types of glitter. I can't explain it but I find them to be all sorts of groovy. What do you guys think? Are you loving Let's Do Anything We Want!?  Tell me your thought below. Well that's all I have for you today. Until next time, stay classy, and stay polished.

OPI Pure

     Today, I have OPI Pure from the Holiday Mariah Carey collection to show you guys. Pure is a 18k white gold and silver flake topper. I have to say I was very excited when I heard they were making this one. Since I am allergic to yellow gold I had to miss out of the yellow gold flake polishes everyone was releasing in 2012 and 2013. So when they released this one I knew I had to get it. I wasn't about to let it pass me by. So here she is (over OPI Vant To Bite My Neck?).

     For this swatch I used two coats of Vant To Bite My Neck? (as undies), two coats of Pure, and a layer of topcoat. This polish applied easily and dried really quickly. Over all I love how it looks and it's definitely worth the price. I liked it so much I put it on my toes as well. What do you guys think? Are you loving Pure as much as I am? Let me know your thoughts below. Well that's all I have for you today. Until next time, stay classy, and stay polished.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day Manicure

     Today, I have some nail art to show you guys. It's been a couple months since I posted nail art and those of you who are regular readers know why. I've just been over the whole drama and bullying in the nail art world. But I decided that I would go ahead and post some nail art since it was kind of a holiday (hear this as not holiday enough so that I don't have to work) and I'm like <5% Irish (which is enough to claim....right?) But anyway I decided, you know what, screw the bullies. I'm gonna do my thing, and post some GD nail art. So here it is:

What I Used:

China Glaze - Running In Circles
OPI - Love.Angel.Music.Baby
OPI - 4 In The Morning

     To get this look I used the taping method and then used a dotting tool (or a teeny tiny paint brush) to add the gold accents. So yeah...it's green, black and gold...and after talking with my BFF we decided that it's kind of a Loki-esque manicure too...but what's a girl to do when a holiday uses green and gold (both colors look ick on me, so I need the black to balance it out. But seriously whenever I wear green I get asked if I'm sick...It's not a good look for me! Clearly whomever picked these colors for a holiday did not take deathly pale people such as myself into account). Besides it's not my fault they share colors. Also I like Loki so whatever. Let it be whichever you choose...but for me I'm saying it's Saint Patrick's Day...because I feel less like a freak of nature that way. But I digress, I have a tendency to do that (I'm like look a butterfly and away I go. But you guy know that already. And you like me anyway. Thanks for that.). (Focus RaynesOnyx, FOCUS!) I hope you guys have a happy Saint Patrick's Day. Be responsible and don't drive drunk please (You know how I feel about that). That's all I have for you today. Until next time, stay classy, and stay polished.
XOXO
