Caught With My Khakis Down OPI

Caught With My Khakis Down OPI
This nail polish is from Sephora, but you can probably also get it online. This is one of my favorite nail polishes. The green is a nice deep almost army green. It is a part of the safari collection. The color matched a lot of my outfits and also looks great with gold jewelry. The formula is great. I only had to put on 2 coats, it went on evenly, and it was completely opaque. I recommend this to everyone reading. (:

Claire's Zebra Bling Nail Stickers

Claire's Zebra Bling Nail Stickers
The zebra stripes and bling are on a clear nail sticker and you can get these from any Claire's in a mall or outlet for $7. After always trying to paint my nails and make them look perfect all the time, it's good to try a nail sticker to have a break. I love these. They are really easy to put on. The pack comes with 16 different stickers with different sized stickers so you'll most likely be able to find ones that fit all of your nails. To put them on, I recommend holding the sticker in between your index finger and thumb and bending it slightly to fit the curve of your nail. Then do your best to put it on your nail straight - its pretty easy but don't be afraid to peel it off and try again if it isn't straight enough for you. When you smooth them on start at one edge and work your way over to avoid getting bumps. They will be a little too long so I just cut the excess off with nail trimmers (they go right through the bling) and then nail filed it carefully to fit my nail exactly. The package said to put clear nail polish on underneath, which I did with my ring finger. Under the rest of the stickers I put the Sephora by OPI nail polish It's All About Me. However, I like it best with clear on the bottom. At the end you also have to put clear on the top. I definitely recommend these nail stickers to everyone! They stay on for a while and are super cute.

Havana Dreams OPI

This is not one of my favorite nail polishes. It is another Sephora by OPI nailpolish. This is actually one of my mom's nail polishes (shh don't tell!) and I wanted to try it to get away from all the pinks and purples I usually use. The formula was very thin and it was hard to get the color to be consistent on the whole nail. I also didn't really like the color. It should have either been more icy or more saturated. To me, this color was kind of dull. I do not recommend this color at all to any of you, but I guess it is possible you'll have better luck with it than I did.

Metro Chic OPI

I just wanted to start off by saying sorry about the little bit of chipping. I took this picture after I had the nail polish on for a few days. This is one of the Sephora OPI nail colours. Even though this isn't one of my usual pink nail polish colors, I still love this one. The formula on this color is amazing. It is really thick and was completely opaque after 2 coats. I definitely recommend this nail polish to everyone! It is the perfect purpley grey color and every girl should have this color in her collection. The color is definitely unique but really pretty. It is really in right now and OPI did a great job on this. This color goes great with a lot of outfits but I especially love it with my dark skinny jeans and muted cheetah shirt. Obviously you can get this at Sephora and it comes with high recommendations from me (:

I absolutely love this nail polish. The formula is a little thin so I had to do 3 coats and as you can see still was not completely opaque. I could have kept going a couple more coats but I thought the color was so pretty as is. The color came out exactly as it looks in this picture - I got lucky with my camera this time. The nail polish lasted about 5 days before chipping, which is saying something because usually nail polish chips on me the very next day. All my friends loved this color too. It is very sweet and the name is so perfect for it. I recommend this color to everyone reading this! I loved it so much that for prom this year I was going to get a french mani to go with my dress but instead I used this. I hope you all give this a try! If you're interested in getting the nail polish, I'm pretty sure I got it at Target and the bottle says Smooth and Perfect (:
