OPI SHREK COLLECTION

SUPER EXCITED FOR THIS

I apologize ahead of time for the messy paint job. I was so excited that I painted in a hurry hehe :D

From left to right: Funky Dunkey, Ogre the Blue, What's With The Cattitude, Fiercely Fiona

SWATCHES!!!

Fiercely Fiona, What's with the Cattitude, Ogre the Blue and Funky Dunkey

So to be honest, I wasn't super excited with the blue one (Ogre the Blue) but when I tried it on, I immediately fell in love. It's a blue that I have never ever tried before and it compliments my skin tone so much. I can't wait to put on Fiercely Fiona for summer outing at the beach. I think it would be super cute

BUT FOR NOW, I have the lovely FUNKY DUNKEY on my fingernails and toes :) Again, I wasn't sure about the color when I first saw it at the store but once I tried it on, I immediately fell in love again (LOL) But, that is what I love so much about OPI anyway, you look at the bottles and think "ok this color is not going to work" but you purchase it anyway and once its on your nails, its like magic haha. OK I am talking too much

The consistency of the Funky Dunkey was very nice. It's quite opaque within two coats and it's very shiny without a top coat as well. The best part? I get compliments on them hehe.

*Base Coat: Orly Bonder*

*Three coats of OPI Funky Dunkey*

*TOP COAT: Seche Vite

SWATCHES!

OPI (Gargantuan Green Grape)

While I love the idea of this color, the consistency is the worst I've ever tried. It is way too streaky. In the end, even though I love the color I just don't have enough patience to keep re-applying them. BOO!

OPI (Melon of Troy)

I tried really hard to like this color but I find that I got bored with it real fast. (within the first hour of application hehe) Maybe, I'll try it on my toenails and see if I like them there better.

OPI (You Don't Know Jaqcues)

So, I have to be honest. When I first saw this color, I didn't care much for it. Dark gray-ish brown? NO THANKS. I thought that this color would not be flattering to anyone. BUT I have had a change of heart and I am sooo happy that I purchased it. It has become one of my favorites and the consistency is nice as well..

MY NEW FAVORITE NUDE!!!

IT's So Lovely!

OPI (Tickle My Francey)

FOR THE LONGEST TIME, I have struggled to find the perfect nude shade for my skin. But, I came across this color on my last polish shopping spree :) (ACCIDENTALLY) I was actually contemplating whether or not to get a second bottle of You Don't Know Jacques when I saw this right next to it and I thought...hmm, interesting. So, I purchased it and I didn't immediately pay attention to it because I wanted to try Essie's Neo Whimsical first but while waiting for that one to dry, I ended up smudging one of my nails so I ended up taking that color off and putting this one on and I immediately fell in love. I really don't want to take this off.

Maybe I am just going through the pale shades phase, who knows? BUT I AM LOVING THIS RIGHT NOW!

FOR LORRAINE :)

MY EVERY DAY MAKE UP LOOK

1. After washing my face and putting on a moisturizer, I put Almay Brightening Concealer all over my upper lid

2. After that, I dab on Urban Decay Primer Potion on my upper lid.

3. I then put on my eyeshadow. For everyday, I usually go for Satin Taupe or Sable by MAC. If I wake up earlier, I reach for my Nars cream shadow in Savage (GORGEOUS BRONZE!) and then I dust the MAC golden bronze loose powder on top of it {<--I started using it as an eyeshadow because it breaks out my skin :( }

4. I then curl my eyelashes with Shu Uemura ( I don't know how to spell it, oh well hehe). I leave it alone for about thirty second (I usually dust off my eyeshadow fall outs at this time) Then I coat it with Loreal Extra Volume Hydra Collagen Pumpin Mascara (HAHA, I know its such a looong name but it works wonders for my tiny lashes) NOT THE WATERPROOF KIND!

5. By now, I'll line my eyes. I recently started using the Toki Doki Perfetto Eyeliner and I LOVE IT!

6. After all that drama with the eyes, I slap on my face foundation which is the Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foundation. (It is watery but its the only foundation that does not break me out) SIDE NOTE: I do want to try Sheer Glow because of you but I don't know...

7. Now I'll line my water line with Urban Decay 24/7 in zero.

8. Then I will put the same Almay Brightening Concealer underneath my eyes and proceed to set my foundation with MAC's studio fix in C4

9. I always do sculpting because I feel like I have chipmunk cheeks. So I used the MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium Deep and I use that to contour the sides of my cheeks.

10. I don't put any blush or lipstick. I know it is a lot of steps but I seriously do this on a daily basis that it's become a fixated routine. I don't feel right if I don't do it.

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED READING IT AS MUCH AS I ENJOYED WRITING IT! :)

NAIL POLISH OF THE WEEK

(March 19, 2010)

This is a gorgeous girly color. In real life, they are a bit darker and more of a purple tone. It definitely reminds me of an orchid. I also have this color on my toes and I must say it really LOVELY! I put three coats to get a really rich color but for some people, I know two is enough.

I started with the Orly Bonder (of course) making my nail polish go on so much more smoother and I ended with the Seche Vite Top Coat. I am still so amazed by this top coat...seriously IT IS THE BEST! It dries fast and is SUPER DUPER SHINY! (I really wish I could capture the beauty of it on camera)

Remember, you can purchase the products on this blog! Just comment which color you want. I only accept Pay Pal because I believe it is the safest way to pay.

I will be doing more weekly swatches so stay tune for those :)

By the way, all the items I offer are new! I always buy an extra bottle or two so I can sell them for a lower price but I guarantee they are never used! :)
