Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro - Rags to Riches + NYX Girls - Carnival

This is a satin earthy green colour. I love it, not only for the colour, but also for the consistency of the polish. It applies very smoothly and easy to control. It's also an inexpensive product accessible from drug stores. This one's a good buy!

Of course, a few days later, I like to add something to my manicure to make it a little bit different, so that I can wear it just a tad longer :)  Here, to start on the holiday spirit, I've added NYX Girls' Carnival.  This is extremely similar to all the other multi-coloured glitter polishes out there, whether it's O.P.I's Rainbow Connection, Nicole by O.P.I's Rainbow in the S-Kylie, or even Deborah Lippmann's Happy Birthday.  To me, they are all the same, except maybe Deborah Lippmann's may be more opaque with fewer coats.  Either way, this NYX Girls one is what I have.  It's got both large and small glitters in the colours red, green, silver, yellow and blue.  This is my first time trying any NYX Girls nail polish.  At first, I didn't have any special comments about it.  It was just a regular glitter polish... nothing special... except the price is much cheaper than the other brands of glitter polishes mentioned above.  However... boy, was I wrong!... it took much longer to dry and when I removed the polish after one day, glitter was flying everywhere.  It just was not what a good polish is like.  So, all in all, I guess there's a reason why O.P.I and Deborah Lippmann kind of brands charge the prices that they do!

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - Violet VOOM + Nicole by O.P.I - Such a Go-Glitter

I've been so busy this week that I haven't really had time to change up my nails too often or post any detailed entries/pictures.  Here's a quick one.  This photo was taken on Day 3, so please excuse the chipping.  I painted the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Violet VOOM on my nails to match my dress I wore for a party.  It then looked a bit dull the next day, so I added some sparkle to it!  The blue glitter blended in well with the polish and it looked like I only applied one glittery blue polish on my nails instead of layering them.

Hope you like it!

Revlon - Copper Penny

Wow, I think this is actually my very first Revlon nail polish.  I'm not that surprised though because Revlon's colours don't really catch my attention much.  OR I already have most of the same colours from other brands.  This colour, Copper Penny, is however a little bit unique/different.  I first heard about it from both Ingrid (missglamorazzi) and Alison (amarixe).  I just bought this polish recently and added it to my "next polish to put on" list.  (No, I don't actually make a list.  I just have a few polishes that I want to wear in mind for the next time I change out my polish.)

What can I say.  Copper Penny is literally like wearing brand spanking new pennies on my nails!  It's plain and very wearable, but the semi metallic look really adds that something special to it.  Overall, I'm quite pleased with the colour and consistency.  Oh!!  It was opaque in ONE coat.  I can't believe I almost forgot about that!  Yes, I must say I was quite impressed!

Essie - Lady Like

I know I'm just a tad late for getting onto the Lady Like bandwagon, but here I am! I debated for a long time whether to get this polish (because of course I already have tons of polishes!). I think I did end up buying it during a BOGO 50% off sale.

Anyway, the colour is a muted pink / mauve, which is very classy and chic at the same time. It also has a great consistency and I noticed that there was barely any streaking!  However, I like this polish much more in the bottle than on my nails. It looks too subtle and almost pale against my skin tone. Nonetheless, it's still such a pretty colour for the fall season!

O.P.I - Planks A Lot + China Glaze - Marry A Millionaire

This combination really works well.  I love the outcome!  Let's talk about O.P.I's Planks A Lot first.  This was from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection earlier this year.  I had been eyeing this polish, but couldn't justify paying another $10 for it.  Recently, I found it on sale, and I wore it right away!  It's such a nice creamy colour with a smooth consistency.  In these photos, I applied three thin coats.

Next is China Glaze's Marry A Millionaire from the new Eye Candy collection.  I am in love... ohh absolutely in love!  This is such an interesting glitter!  It contains tiny round pink and purple glitters with thin long fibre-like strips of purple, green... maybe some gold?  Oh gosh, it's so colourful, I just can't tell anymore!  Hopefully you can see them in the photos below!

O.P.I - Significant Other Color + Movember

I have to say I'm pretty impressed with the duo chrome effect of O.P.I's Significant Other Color. It applied a bit sheer, but can be layer to be more opaque. I'm just mesmerized by how clear you can see the light purple and light green in the duo chrome!

A couple days later, I added one coat of pale pink crackle polish on top.  I ordered this one from www.bornprettystore.com.  The brand is Laushine, and the label on the bottom of the bottle is the number 5.  On the website, it's called Pink Color New Instant Cracking Nail Polish Nail Art-L005.  I love it because the bigger brands out there like O.P.I or China Glaze don't have crackle polishes in this colour.  On top of that, this polish cracks and dries almost instantly!  It is quite matte when dried, so if that's the look you're going for, then it's perfect.  If not, you will definitely have to add a top coat.

AND... since it's Movember and I can't grow a mustache, I thought I would contribute in my own way! =)
