Essie- Where's My Chauffeur

Hello Hello! Here I am enjoying the gorgeous weather in sunny Florida.  Although Where's My Chauffeur came out in Essie's Winter Collection.. it's definitely a tropical color! The formula was good, but I needed 3 coats to even it out.  It dried with a matte finish and needed lots of top coat.  The pictures below show 3 coats of Essie- Where's My Chauffeur+ 2 coats of seche vite.  I also added Zoya- Maisie as an accent nail for a little bit of extra sparkle.

My Nail Polish Collection- Part 1: OPI

Hello Hello! Thank god it's Saturday! Did I mention that I am on a strict no buy right now? I gave up buying new nail polish, and Starbucks for Lent.  I usually never give things up for Lent, but I decided that this would be a good opportunity to break some bad habits! So it's actually been almost a month.  The last nail polish that I bought was Polka.com from OPI's Euro Centrale Collection on February 6th.  The no buy isn't as hard as I expected.  I don't find the Spring collections for OPI, Essie, or China Glaze to have anything that I haven't seen before.  But who knows, maybe I will decide to buy the minis for the collections.  Anyway.. today I present to you my nail collection!

My OPI Collection.

More Pictures after the break!

Colors that I never thought I'd like

I'm back after a long haitus! I wish I could say that I was doing something useful/ exciting, but unfortunately, my nail polish collection has grown exponentially and I've just been reading and writing the 92389284 papers that grad school requires.  Anyway, onto something less depressing! Since I've been gone so long, this post has 5 polishes in one entry! If you told me that I would ever be wearing these polishes 6 months ago, I would have laughed at you... But then again, I have total nail polish ADD..
