ROAD HOUSE BLUES

I got a few new colors and want to test them out so I probably won't be doing any designs until I've tested all of them out. It's nice to become familiar with the colors in my collection that way I would know which colors go well together since the colors look different when they are in the bottle and the nails.

The one I have on right now is called "Road House Blues" from the Touring America Collection. It's a midnight blue color, which I really like because it looks sophisticated yet youthful.
Here are some pictures under regular lighting and under direct spotlight so you could see the intensity of the color



MY COLLECTION SO FAR

It's not as much as a lot of bloggers have but it's ok since I haven't been  buying nail polish that long. I would need a bigger room to collect more. My room is tiny!

I have a lot of pinks!

MY NAILS WHILE I WAS M.I.A.

I apologize for  being m.i.a. but don't think that my nails were 'naked' this whole time. Here are pictures of my nails. I'm going to update again soon. I promise!


This is Fireworks & Fourth of July inspired. I used "In The Spotlight Pink" (Cirque du Femme Collection by OPI) as a base. "Swimsuit... Nailed It!" (Miss Universe Collection by OPI) for the tips, "The Show Must Go On" (Burlesque Collection by OPI), "Bling Dynasty" (Hong Kong Collection by OPI), and "DS Radiance" (Designer Series by OPI) for the Dots. Topped everything with "Crown Me Already" (Miss Universe Collection by OPI)

and Yes, I know that's a lot of nail polish :-P


SHATTERED NAILS! from Thumb to Pinky: Black Shatter over "DS Radiace", Black Shatter over "Color So Hot It Berns" (Swiss Collection), "Austintatious Turquoise" under Black Shatter, "DS Radiance" under Turquoise Shatter, and "Color So Hot It Berns" under Black Shatter.


These colors are so bright and fun! DS Radiance (Silver) & DS Magic (Blue) By OPI
DS stands for Designer Series and are considered (by some) as Limited Edition. They cost a few dollars more than regular OPI nail polish (about $16) because they use a diamond dust formula, which gives DS colors the ultra- glimmering shine.These colors are so glamorous they could turn you into a diva.... or not!


French Manicure with Hearts Using "Play the Peonies" & "Be A Dahlia Won't You" from OPI.


Random Desing using the Nice Stems Collection by OPI ("Play the Peonies", "Come to Poppy", "Be a Dahlia Won't You", "I Lily Love You"). I love this Collection!


"Totally Fort Worth It" (Texas Collection)
