Sweet Swatches from OPI Holland Collection

I got four nail polishes from the OPI Holland Collection and I wanted to swatch them for you!




First up is Pedal Faster Suzi (3 Coats)

A sweet baby pink with light silver shimmer.

Next is Kiss Me on My Tulips

Hot pink creme. Does anyone else feel like an idiot pretending to speak French when you use the word "creme" or is it just me??

Next is Red Lights Ahead...Where?

Coral/Red creme. 

Last swatch is I Have a Herring Problem

Blue/Grey with gold shimmer. Seems like a darker version of I Don't Give a Rotterdam to me. 

If you want to see I Don't Give a Rotterdam (my favorite so far) you can look back at my previous post Once In a Blue Moon.

Which is your favorite?

Love, Bethany

Matte Foil? Yes Please!

I tried out a new foil from Revlon, which I thought was very pretty. Then I decided to matte it, because I'd never done that with a foil. I LOVE it. I'm very addicted to matte.


Revlon - Copper Penny
Essie - Matte About You


Here it is without the matte coat: 

Now Matte:

Like?

First Franken!

I am so excited to show you all my first franken! It's shimmery and frosty and light. I'm calling it Angel Wings. If I was ever to have a brand of nail polish, which is unlikely, I would name it Bonfire. 


Angel Wings (3 coats)

Depending on the light it has a pink, purple, blue or green sheen. I tried to capture that in the pictures, but it's hard to see.

I would appreciate any criticism or advice!

Love, Bethany

Red-y, Set, Go!

My boyfriend gave me this fabulous red for Christmas. It's name is perfect because red geraniums really are this color!


Base: Essie - Geranium
Gold: China Glaze - Champagne Bubbles

Red is my favorite color! Yay!

Love, Bethany

Blue Me Away

I've seen glitter gradients that start from the bottom of the nail instead of the top, but when I saw the reverse gradient on Enamel Girl I wanted to try it!


Blue: Ulta - Blue Streak
Glitter: Spoiled - Jewelry Heist
Top Coat: Seche Vite


My only problem was trying to take a good picture. The glitter is copper, silver, and turquoise. I think it just looks gray in the pictures :(

If you want to see a great picture of Jewelry Heist go to The Collegiate Nail. She has a picture of it in the bottle and it's great!

At least the blue is pretty!

Love, Bethany

Shimmer Shimmy!

I bought new glitters and shimmers from the $1.99 brand Spoiled. I love them! I layered two of the colors over a grey so you could see! 


Base: Revlon - Graceful
Blue: My Saturn Broke Down (1 coat)
Teal on accent nails: Use Protection (1 coat)


Isn't the title of the teal strange, but health conscious? Lol!

I should have tried it with two coats too so I could see what it looked like, but I didn't think about it until I had already taken it off.

Here's a picture of Revlon - Graceful without the shimmer:

I love grey!

Isn't great for such a low price??

Love, Bethany

Godiva

This mani definitely reminded me of chocolate, and who doesn't love chocolate?


Base: Revlon - Espresso
Gold: Ulta - High Roller
Top Coat: Seche Vite

Yum!

Love, Bethany
