OPI: My Private Jet

I have a very picture heavy post for you. The other day I wore OPI My Private Jet after seeing someone at work wearing it. I had forgotten how fabulous this polish is. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Another close up of the flakies... Sooo pretty. 

Gosh: Black Passion

I've been mia for so long!! My apologies. I have bought so many polishes during my little hiatus and I can't wait to show them all to you. I'm still trying to set up a light box so I don't have to rely on the sun... but I don't really know where to begin. So that will be coming along later and I will just do my swatching on the weekends. 

Today I want to show you an old and crappy photo session of Gosh's Black Passion. This polish is actually pretty awesome, but you can't really tell from these pics. It is black with bits of silver/gray swirled into the bottle. I'm pretty sure the swirling is unintentional and were caused by the polish separating... but I don't care - its awesome! Of course the swirls don't come out on the nail.. but the bottle is pretty cool. The color on the nail is equally cool. I got compliments on it from my mom, who usually hates dark nail polish. It has a cool graphite look. If you can get your hands on this polish I would really recommend it.

OPI: Black Shatter

I'm sure you've all read about this ad nauseum. So I'll keep it short. Yes, it takes some time to get the hang of the application - but by the second hand of my first mani, I had it down. Yes, it is awesome. Yeah - I would be grabbing backups like crazy if it weren't for the fact that China Glaze is coming out with a whole line of shatter polishes, which will be much cheaper than this 8 dollar OPI polish. 

I added Black Shatter on top of my China Glaze Life Preserver mani, and kind of wish I had waited for a different base color to try it. Because now it kind of just looks like a Halloween mani that I'm posting super late. But I still love it. 

Sally Hansen: Sequin Scandal

When I was at Ulta grabbing some Bare Minerals (the best makeup in the world) I saw the new Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Fall 2010 display. So I grabbed the only one that really stood out to me, Sequin Scandal. I love this polish! Though I really wish it looked more like the bottle. But it is still pretty awesome. Very dark and mysterious. It looks like an extremely dark olive green or black base with lotssss and lots of golden shimmer. 

See how pretty the bottle looks??!! I just wish it was a little lighter. 

Diamond Cosmetics: Chainmail Charm

Holy crap!!! 100 posts!!! Wow. I seriously need to get a life. Because it seems like no one reads these. Maybe I am wrong though and people do appreciate all these pictures. Well, I figured I'd bring you one of my absolute favorites, Diamond Cosmetics Chainmail Charm. This is a fantastic charcoal color with tons of little holo particles. A true rainbow on the nails. So this is a picture heavy post. Sorry in advance if you're not a fan of the pics.  

A blurry one that doesn't really show off the true rainbowness. Oh well, I tried. 

See the rainbow!! Beautiful!

This one is my fav. It really represents how this polish looks in the sun. It is really hard not to stare at your hands when wearing this. 

On a side note... This is the sad state of my iphone. Tear. It has been like this for a while.. but now my phone won't stay on silent. Only 6 more months till I can get an upgrade. :( 6 longggg months. 

Yay! More rainbows!!

And Nikki. She was snoozing, but then she mysteriously opened one eye and was staring at me. hehe. 

And this is what it looks like in the shade. No rainbow. But I still really love the base color. 

And Nikki's bandana. It has little bones on it.
