OPI Ski Slope Sweetie

Ski Slope Sweetie is from the Mariah Carey 2013 Holiday collection.

This is a pearly white with golden shimmer. I have this worn on its own, but it can also be layered. For the pics I have three coats plus top coat. There is still some vnl, which is my only complaint about this polish. The golden shimmer is very noticeable. Applied without any issues. Hard to capture the white in photos.

Well, I really like it. Although I do realize this won't be everyone's cup of tea! The entire collection is quite large, so I only purchased a few. I hope to have those swatched and posted soon. Thanks for stopping in.

Deborah Lippmann No More Drama and Through The Fire swatches

I picked up these two polishes from a sale at Nail Polish Canada. They are clearing out the DL's as they will no longer be carrying the brand.

No More Drama is a caramel shade with a rose gold shimmer. Slight pearl finish. Formula was thin, watch for pooling, but highly pigmented. Full coverage in two coats. Work appropriate, I would think. Quite liked this nude. Didn't seem to rebel against my skin tone. Created with Mary J. Blige.

Through The Fire is an aptly named deep garnet shade. Shimmer/pearl finish. Great formula with full coverage in two coats. Super shiny even without top coat. Very eye catching in person!

Overall, I really loved both of these! Great formula and shades. And even like them more since I got them on sale! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Sally Hansen Triple Shine, my four picks

While at my local drugstore I came across a display of the new Triple Shine line, so of course I had to get some. I picked out four! I thought that was pretty good self control.
Forgive my lack of clean up in todays photos. I was in a hurry and had to skip it in order to get all four polishes swatched.

Vanity Flare is a medium purple creme. Pretty good formula. I used two coats. No top coat used in pics. Dries quite glossy.

Scale Up is a topper. Appears really thick in the bottle, but surprisingly wasn't. Contains holo shards and micro glitters. The large pieces lay flat to the nail. One coat over Vanity Flare.

Bait Me is a light grey pearl shimmer. To be in honest, I thought this was a creme with a bit of shimmer in the bottle. Wasn't until I applied it that I learned it was a pearl finish. Pleasantly surprised by that! Normally not my go to finish. Great formula and I only needed two coats for full coverage. May need one more on longer nails. No top coat.

Hypnautical is a topper with iridescent micro and flakie glitter. Thought this would show off the aqua tint that you see in the bottle, but no. A bit disappointed by that.

So overall thoughts are that these have decent formula and are very shiny without using top coat. Even though we'll all use some anyway! Vanity Flare is nice, but doesn't wow me. I am sure I have other purples like it in my collection. I loved Bait Me!!!! Definitely my fave of the four I chose. The two toppers are fine, but again don't wow me. Have you tried any of these yet? Thoughts?

Thanks for having a boo, hope to see you back soon.

Julep Lois

Julep Lois -  boho glam collection.
Lois is a pearly, frosty rose pink. Application was smooth and easy. Formula had great coverage. The one downfall is the little clumps of something that were in the polish. I am willing to try again to see if they go away. It is a nice colour! Unfortunately the lumps are noticeable, as you'll see in the pics. Photos show two coats of Lois with top coat.
