Star Of The Party - Nicole by OPI

This is next one is Star Of The Party from Nicole By OPI. It's another one my friend Tim gave me :].

This is like a dazzling violet! When it comes to purple, I usually gave things leaning to indigo, but this is refreshing and a truly dazzling colour. It's very 'Fall'-esque, without being gloomy and dark.

It took me three layers of this colour (though, you could get away with two), and I topped it off with 

Fairy Dust by China Glaze.

 ^This picture was blurred to show you the holo-y goodness of the sparkles! Woo, sparkles!^

This polish applied kinda streaky on the first layer, but see how pretty it looks when opaque? I love it ^_^

Nicole by OPI can be found at your local Walmart for $10, BUT - ! Hold on penny pinchers! Shoppers often has it on sale for $7.99!

I purchase my China Glaze from Sally's Beauty Supply.

Till next time! :]

Joe Fresh Style : Matte Top Coat

Hello! This is my first matte I've ever tried out (I've been hunting for Essie's Matte About You) and bonus! Their nail polish was a bottle for $4, and three bottles for $10! I bought an extra bottle of Joe's Matte Top Coat, as well as a grey, which I'll soon swatch.

Here is this matte top coat over I Stop For Nicole from Nicole by OPI on my thumb. See the difference? Glossy and flat! (Well, sort of satin-y. But flatter than the others!)

Down below, here's the bottle.

And here is the other fingers mattified, under a lamp :3

 

I'm still hunting for Essie's MAY, but for now (and with these prices), I'm content!

If you want to add some variety to your polishes & like to stay within budget, pick up a bottle of this at Superstore! It's cheap, easy to apply, and dries super fast. I love this.

Till next time!

The First Post!

Hello everyone! This is my first time making/posting a swatch on nailpolish, so I hope you'll grow to enjoy my little spot on the internet :]

Since this is a swatch place, here's my first. I Stop For Nicole from Nicole by OPI.

My friend Tim bought this for me for my birthday (along with two others I will swatch, soon!)

This one under shaded lighting is a red, but under natural-er light it's looking pretty pink. Sometimes (like in the photo), it looks like there's a thousand orange flecks on top of some insane red. It's so pretty :3 It took me three coats for this (though you might be able to get away with two, if you're lucky!) The application was pretty smooth, too. I have no complaints!

Hope to see you back here again!
