Hi everyone~^^ Back in January, I won Jessica's giveaway over at Polished Lyrics. I recently received my package from her and she was kind enough to include a few extras! Thanks again for the awesome package Jess, I love it loads <3.

I'm super excited with this package since it includes my first Nicole by OPI and Essence polishes :). I'm also really in love with the houndstooth wallet, now I have a something to replace my current one! The first photo is taken indoors under natural light and the next two indoors with flash.

And the extras Jess included :). Unfortunately these have no names, but I think the purple polish is Uptown girl. I have absolutely no idea what the other two might be though. The middle polish is a cream shade and the pink is a really bright pink. If anyone knows the names, please do share!

OPI Damone Roberts 1968 Nail Polish

Good afternoon, Dear Reader!

I got a surprise today - the OPI Damone Roberts 1968 polish I'd pre-ordered last week arrived.  I ordered it by calling the Beverly Hills Damone Roberts - that's the only place to order it.

The first thing I did was compare it to a few other green cremes to see how it looked.  I think this one's unique - it's not as minty as the others we've seen this year.  Here is the comparison swatch, left to right: Sephora by OPI Read My Palm, OPI Damone Roberts 1968, Barry M Mint Green, and Revlon Minted, three coats each.

The verdict is that it's different and I love it.  I promptly did a manicure with it.

Now I'll happily go about the rest of the day with my new manicure.  That's it for today, Dear Reader.  Until tomorrow, love and nail polish to you!  

Hot Topic Fauxnad & Konad Plate M63

Good evening, Dear Reader!

My OPI Shrek nail polishes arrived today, but I'm just not up for swatching, so I figured I'd show them to you one at a time as Nails of the Day.  In the meantime, I thought I'd show you yesterday and today's Nails of the Day so they don't get lost in the shuffle because I especially like them.

Yesterday was Nubar Black with Hot Pink accent ring fingers, and I used two patterns from a Hot Topic fauxnad plate on them.

Today, I've worn OPI's Jade is the New Black with some of the old black added to it from Konad plates M63 and M19.  I used three coats of the OPI.

I thought that one turned out really nicely.

Now that I've caught you up on recent NOTD's, I'll be wearing OPI Shrek colors for the next six days to show you those.  Until tomorrow, Dear Reader, love and nail polish to you!
