Diary of a nail polish addict

Went to Salon Centric this pass weekend to check out OPI’s spring collection Holland. I wasn’t that crazy about the colors. I like the bright colors like Kiss Me on My Tulips & A Roll in The Hague. But I decided they were too similar to other polishes I have. However I’m still debating on whether to go back & buy A Roll in The Hague (a beautiful bright creme finish orange).

So I only picked up one color from the Holland Collection, Thanks a WindMillion (second from the right). But I did find some other colors that I wanted and thought would be cute for Spring & upcoming St. Patty’s day.

Swatches:

• A. OPI Need Sunglasses?
• B. OPI Gargantuan Green Grape (instant fave)
• C. OPI Thanks a WindMillion (Holland)
• D. Essie Pretty Edge

It’s no secret that Essie is my favorite nail polish, so I get really excited when they come out with a new collection. I went to the store last weekend and picked up four of the colors from their new spring collection. I absolutely love Navigate Her which is an absolutely gorgeous green. And I wasn’t sure if I was going to like A Crewed Interest, but I think it might replace my favorite nude shade. It is a nice peachy creme. I didn’t bother to pick up To Buy or Not to Buy and Tour de Finance because they are too similar to other polishes I already have.

Swatches:

• A. A Crewed Interest
• B. Orange It’s Obvious
• C. Navigate Her
• D. Ole Caliente

Finally got my hands on all the shades of China Glaze’s Electropop collection that I wanted. I opted not to buy Fuschia Fanatic & Make Some Noise because I already have so many bright coral colors and hot pink colors. My two favorites from this collection would have to be Aquadelic & Gaga for Green. Aquadelic is very similar to For Audrey, but more on the bright side; whereas For Audrey is more on the pastel side. But all in all I am very happy with this collection.

Swatches:

• A. Dance Baby 
• B. Sunshine Pop
• C. Electric Beat
• D. Sweet Hook
• E. Aquadelic
• F. Gaga for Green
• G. Gothic Lolita
• H. Techno

Came across these three colors when I was looking for Essie’s new spring collection. I thought they were very pretty so I had to pick them up. Looking for Love is the perfect shade of light gray to do newspaper nails, which I have been looking for!

Swatches:

• A. Play Date 
• B. Go Overboard
• C. Looking for Love

I just had to get my hands on some polishes from Essie’s Winter 2011 Collection. I only picked up three of the six: Bobbing for Baubles, School of Hard Rocks, & Size Matters. Bobbing for Baubles has to be my new favorite toe color!! The other three are very pretty colors as well.

I was also on the hunt for a new nude color. I picked up Essie’s Topless & Barefoot. I absolutely love it. It definitely has replaced my Sand Tropaz for best nude color.
