NOTD: $OPI Call Your Mother (with and without Nubar "FOR MEN" topcoat)

Behold the difference between men and women:

OPI for Sephora Call Your Mother - for wimmenz


OPI for Sephora Call Your Mother with Nubar FOR MEN topcoat - clearly this is for dudes

I think I like the dude version better to be honest.

The Nubar Matte topcoat applies very nice, but I don't think it works like a normal topcoat. It doesn't seem to prolong wear at all. If anything, it makes the polish more chippy. Still worth it for the nice matte effect though.

NOTD: $OPI IM Beauty

Before we go to the NOTD, I wanted to post a poll for you guys. I'm thinking about posting about makeup a bit. It's probably not something that would happen frequently. It's more that I'd like to share if I find a really fantabulous (or craptastic) product. What do you think? Feel free to post a comment.



I think yellow is going to be a hot trend for nail polish this spring and summer, so I was really excited that my boy friend picked up the new yellow OPI for Sephora polish for me. I don't really know what to think about it. The end result is quite lovely, but getting there is a total pain. The polish applies incredibly streaky. Forget using less than 4 coats cause it's just not gonna happen. On the other hand, if you do apply 4 coats, you get a rather lovely, semi sheer, soft yellow manicure. My picture is 4 coats of polish because I just can't convince myself to do 5 coats.

NOTD: $OPI Metro Chic - Not quite living up to the hype.

Behold OPI for Sephora Metro Chic - the most talked about nail polish of 2008. It sort of looks like dirt. While I don't mind the color of dirt on my nails; I prefer OPI You Don't Know Jaques from the France Collection. YDKJ is more brown and the application was better.

NOTD: $OPI Run With It

I was planning on wearing Metro Chic first, but then I sort of fell for this. I regret it though!

Like, ugh, I hate this polish. Why didn't you guys warn me? WHHHYYY?!? The brush SUCKS, and the consistency is just.... weird. It's like one moment it's thin and runny, and the next moment it's drying out way too soon in big blobs on the brush and the nail. I hated applying it. The color might be worth it, I'm not sure. It's a nice shimmery, dove grey. Nice soft color. I might wear it again. When I've forgotten how horrible it was to apply......


Tomorrow is New Years. I gotta wear something festive! Bling bling!

Sephora Haul: $OPI

I've wanted a couple of the OPI for Sephora (also knows as $OPI) for a while, but we don't have Sephora here, so no luck. That is until the wonderful Karla was kind enough to do a custom purchase for me. Everything arrived packed incredibly well, and the polishes are just beautiful:

Run With It, Metro Chic, On Stage, Call Your Mother

I love them all! Now I just need to figure out which one to wear first!
