So these were most of the NOTD's I had from the past couple of months that I didn't get to blog about. I'm trying to catch up completely! Many of these are actually some of my very favorites of 2012 but I'm working on my top 10 polishes of 2012. That's a tough one because there were so many great collections in 2012. Well, thanks for reading!! And let me know what was your favorite nail polish or nail polish collection of 2012!

NOTD Sephora by OPI I'm Sari

Hey lovelies! It's late right now, I'm not feeling well, and I still want to catch up with my blog posts! I wore Sephora by OPI I'm Sari a few weeks ago. I'm Sari is from the Sephora by OPI India collection which was I believe one of the summer collections of this year. I'm Sari is amazing! It's a clear base jam packed with turquoise glitter and large holo glitter! My pics could not capture how gorgeous and sparkly this polish actually is! The formula is great as well, two coats and it was opaque! I love when glitter polishes go on opaque! Here is two coats:

I love this polish! Taking it off sucked though! You definitely have to use the foil method with these but it was worth it! Just looking at this makes me want to put it on again! I'm sari is sold at all sephora stores and online for $9.50. I'm not 100% sure if this is limited edition but if you like glitter polishes then I highly recommend this one! Thanks for reading!

NOTD Sephora by OPI What's Your Sign?

Hi everyone! Well according to the news, today was supposed to be sunny and nice here. Turns out that today is cloudy, cold, muggy, and craptacular! I put on a bright summery color hoping I could get great pics of it in the sun and no. Anyway, I decided to try Sephora by OPI What's Your Sign? from the Brights Spring 2012 collection. This is a fun, shimmery orange that reminds me of a creamsicle. It's very pretty and summery. The formula was a little sheer and a bit streaky so I needed three coats and some patience. I decided to add OPI Save Me from the Nicki Minaj collection on my accent nail which would have looked amazing in the sun!

I really like this color, I can't wait to try it on my toes!
Have a good weekend and happy cinco de Mayo! Thanks for reading!

NOTD OPI I Have a Herring Problem

Hi everyone! My weekend was a bit hectic, my fiance' was very sick so I was taking care of him. He's feeling a little better now. I was able to do my nails last night and I wanted to try something different but still use blue for autism awareness month. I decided on OPI I Have a Herring Problem from the Spring 2012 Holland Collection which is a dusty, muted blue with silver shimmer. I really like this color! In the bottle it looks pretty gloomy, but on the nail I love it! The formula is pretty good, I used 2 coats but I could have used three. It's slightly thinner than I thought but nothing horrible. Here's two coats:

This is one of those blues that looks more gray in certain light and than more blue in other light. I wanted to do a design on my nail so I did a chevron tip using Sephora by OPI Blue Grotto which is a gorgeous blue cream. Blue Grotto came out in 2009 so I'm not 100% sure if Sephora still carries this color, but it is a very dupable blue. I have done chevron nails in the past using scotch tape, but I did these freehand. It was so much faster and I'm pretty happy with the results. I leaned both hands on the table so they would be steady while I did the design.

I am really happy on how these turned out, they weren't perfect but that's what practice is for. What do you guys think of the color combo? Thanks so much for reading!
