My camera is being repaired, so the next few posts will feature some of my older manis. That means pre-cleanup pictures. I've pretty much broken the habit of taking pictures before cleanup...mostly.

Oh jeez, when the Shrek collection came out, I was so flippin' excited. I love the whole Shrek franchise, and I loved that it was a collection of interesting colors. No pink or red! Unfortunately, I was not so happy with this one. I don't know what it is, but most blue lighter than midtone just look terrible on me! Ho hum. Anyway, I can't really comment on the formula because I don't remember.

Oh, and the cherry blossom accent is OPI Alpine Snow, Miami Beet, and Black Onyx

1 coat over 1 coat of SH Midnight In NY

Fireberry Red is a polish everyone should own. It's $2, it's awesome, and it's OPI Smitten With Mittens deeper sister. I flippin love it! It literally glows. I had no problems with application, but maybe I should save my judgment for when I use more than one coat of this. Also, Midnight In NY? Gorgeous black with a subtle multicolored shimmer. It looks like the night sky.

I can't remember everything I used, but I know the gold is TMM Sunflower.

1 coat over AA Mount Royal

Galaxy Girl is amazing! I love this so much more than Space Cadet, which does not look good on me at all.  I especially love the pink flash in this. It's just so pretty!  I think I needed 3 coats for opacity when I wore this alone, but one coat over underwear works just as well. Save that polish, guys and gals. The entire Cosmix collection was amazing. Great job, Orly!

Imagine this is a touch more purple and slightly deeper. Such a gorgeous color and it has a great formula too! This is my first time trying AA polish, and I'm glad I have tons more to try:

Now I just have to figure out which to try next. :]

Golds and I don't often get along, but Looks Like Rain, Dear is actually a shade I would wear out of the house. I think it's because it's not that icky orange shade of gold. Plus, the holo glitter really makes it special. The finish is a little textured, but a top coat will fix that easily. So far, SOPI's holiday polishes have not disappointed me.
