I can’t think of a time that I’ve ever just swatched a nail color….outside of being in a store that provides a test bottle.  Over the years I’ve learned to control my initial excitement about products because I find out that later that they’re not what they’re cracked up to be.  As a blogger/ friend (I do have personal friends and family members follow “Addicted To All Things Pretty”) the   Read More ...

This color looks like it could be OPI Nail Lacquer “Lucky Lucky Lavender” from OPI Hong Kong Collection Spring/ Summer 2010.   Source “Polish Mayhem” I’m sure this could be one of many pinks on the market today but Essie “Flirty Fuchsia” which was released in 2009 would be a great pick.  It should be easy to find as well and it’s a good chance that it’ll be on sale.

I’m in love with this collection!  Essie keeps coming with some of the best collections…China Glaze too.  I’m a simple girl (despite my addiction to all things pretty lol) and love a small yet bold collection.  In perfect world I would have been able to afford the entire collection but at the time I was only able to purchase Lilacism, Van D’go, and Tart Deco.  I plan on getting the   Read More ...

Courtney purchased Essie “Lilacism” at the hair and skin care show this weekend and didn’t care to pick me up one too so she gets the honor of being a guest blogger today.  I’m not jealous, it’s not like I wanted this color.  Knowing Courtney she didn’t use a base coat and I can tell she didn’t use a topcoat…NONE the less…I love this color on her!  She said the   Read More ...
