This is what happens when I have literally two minutes of free time to make a new post.

3 coats

OPI Underneath the Mistletoe looks like this ^^^. It's pretty! Great formula.





Buy it at Ulta for $9!

2 coats Emotions

OPI Emotions is a black liquid sand. There is black texture glitter and black hexes in a black base.I don't hate Emotions as much as I thought I would; it's more of a strong dislike. I still very much prefer glittery textureds. Emotions was opaque in two easy coats.



OPI I Snow You Love Me is faceted holo circle glitter in a clear base. This glitter is gorgeous but very sparse. The super thick, globby base doesn't help keep the glitter suspended, so it all just sinks to the bottom. I got the glitter to cover my nail with a little patience and a lot of crazy. I won't be doing that again. Pretty effect, though!



The OPI Mariah Carey Holiday 2013 collection retails for $9 each and is available at Ulta.

I'm quite disappointed with OPI's holiday collection. Typically, this is the collection that excites me the most, but there were just too many freakin' reds! Anyway, here's one of the more interesting (at least to me) polishes from the collection.

2 coats

OPI Sleigh Ride for Two is a plum red with a fine red shimmer. I really like the finish - smooth and glowy. This applied quite nicely with no major issues.

2 coats

YSL Bleu Majorelle is a cobalt creme. I seem to be developing a serious thing for cobalt because I've been wanting to wear this shade non-stop for a while now. Bleu Majorelle is a tad darker than Baker Street, so of course it's okay that I own both. The formula is amazing! It is super pigmented (I would've stopped at one coat, but you know...macro and stuff), and it applies like a dream. The perfect formula plus a really great brush made application around my cuticles a piece of cake.



I need more cobalt polish in my life. Any recs?



YSL Blue Majorelle retails for $25 and is available at Nordstrom.

The last polish I have to show you from Big Bang is Sunshine Superman.

3 coats

Deborah Lippmann Sunshine Superman is a super shimmery golden orange. It's really pretty, but I hate it on me. The color plus the finish are a little too garish. The application was a piece of cake with this one. No formula issues at all.



Deborah Lippmann Big Bang retails for $78 and is available at Sephora.com

I know I said I was only going to get Petrol from Butter London's Holiday 2013 offerings, but this polish was just too pretty to pass up.

2 coats

Butter London Bluecoat is a royal blue with blue-green shimmer. It is such a stunning color! The real star is the formula, though. It applied like a dream and was very pigmented. Also, no staining at all with this one, and I wore it for a couple days without a base coat. The only downside to this polish is it's only available in a duo with a less than desirable glitter topcoat. Hopefully Butter London will offer Bluecoat on its own someday.





Butter London Double Take retails for $24 and is available at Ulta
