Sinful Colors - Happy Ending

Hello! I meant to post on Thursday but I've been quite the busy bee. Here's another green for you. Sinful Colors is a great line of polish, super-cheap with lovely colors. I only see them at Walgreens but they may be sold other places. Happy Ending is a great spring color, bright yellow-green with yellow shimmer that really comes out in the sunlight! Shown here with two coats.

OPI - Teenage Dream

I've been looking for this polish for ages and finally picked it up this weekend! Teenage Dream is from OPI's recent Katy Perry collection. It is a cotton-candy pink loaded with silver shimmer and big flecks of rainbow glitter! I'd noticed from other blog posts that it seems to be sheer, so I layered it over Sinful Colors' Easy Going, an almost-white pink that helped to make this solid. What you see is one coat of Easy Going topped with 3 coats of Teenage Dream.

I also took a video of this in the sun so you could see how it sparkles and shifts.

My Collection

First of all, hello to all my new readers! Thank you so much for coming to my little corner and helping me not feel like I'm posting to thin air. :) I will have a new swatch on Tuesday, but I wanted to do a post today so I'm going to show you how I store and organize my polish. If you want to see these or any of my other pictures in a larger size, just click on them.

These are my drawers on my dresser. They are each about the size of a large shoebox. Sitting on top is my Hoof Hands moisturizer, some Bare Minerals makeup I got from my mom for Christmas (thank you!), Q-Tips, my Urban Decay Book of Shadows Vol 3, and my Benefit Brow Zings. I don't wear makeup often, but I do keep some things on hand. I might do some makeup swatching in the future.

Top left drawer, from back to front: China Glaze, Orly, Sally Hansen, OPI, and miscellaneous brands that only have one or two bottles each.

Bottom left, from back to front: Essie, Color Club (if you're looking for neon, they make some great ones!), Zoya, Pure Ice, Hard Candy, and Sinful Colors.

Bottom right, from back to front: Nicole by OPI, Sephora by OPI.

Top right: The Drawer of Messiness. :) This has a bunch of base coats, topcoats, treatments, and tools as well as nail art supplies. That polish sitting on top is OPI's Absolutely Alice, something I plan on giving away in the future once I have enough readers. 

There are a few polishes that live outside of these drawers but it's pretty well-contained. I may get new drawers soon because to get polishes that are all the way in the back, I have to squeeeeak my hand past all the other bottles and hope I don't knock anything over. So, readers, how do you store yours?

Nicole by OPI - Fell From The Tree

Back with another post! This time it's a beautiful glowy green from Nicole. This was part of their holiday collection that I found on clearance at Target. I would always look at the bottle and see how lit-up it looked, think about it, then put it back.. Finally bought it, and I'm glad I did! It covered nicely in two coats and even in a dimly-lit room it just GLOWS. These nails kinda make me feel like Poison Ivy, somehow.. If I was any good at nail art I'd slap some red flowers on here. It's much more of a bright, spring green than it shows here, it doesn't have any of the blackened quality it appears to. I suspect it's because I'm taking pictures next to a sunny window instead of actually out in the sun.

Nicole by OPI - You Can!

Another swatch post for you. This is my perfect 'mannequin hands' shade, which would be super if it wasn't 3 coats with some little bald patches. Very pretty though, hard to capture in pictures. The sun obliterates the pretty pink undertone and makes it a beautiful light shimmery beige. I have multiple pictures here.. the one with the cheese fries is just for fun, I went to the state fair on Sunday and had a great time. :)
