Konadicure with OPI DS Original

Finally! School is over!!!!!!!!
I've a got a few days to relax before I start work and summer school.... FUN! I'm hoping to get in lots of shopping!! 
OPI DS Original, lavender holo (3 coats)

Konad with plate M77. I normally stamp my nails facing me, meaning that they look the 'right' way when I look at them, which is why it kinda looks weird in the picture.. in real life, its as if my nails are wearing necklaces!!

Have a great weekend!
GO HABS GO!

OPI DS Original

Good morning!
I hope you're having a nice weekend!

I can't wait for summer to come! I miss the warm weather! Don't you??

Anyways....this is the second holo bottle I was able to swatch: OPI DS Original (Japanese version)
I've been told that the Japanese version is lighter than the regular version. Nevertheless, this one is very pretty! Light purple holo, it looks great in the shade, and even better in the sun! Love the rainbow!

Enjoy the rest of the day, guys!

Color Club Revvvolution

Happy Saturday!

We had a bit of sun recently so I hastily grabbed two bottles of holo polish to swatch!

The first, Color Club Revvvolution, a black holographic.

Pretttyy!! 2 coats was enough to achieve bottle color, as the polish itself was very pigmented. The consistency of the formula was great. For some reason, I thought this one would be more holo but eh, whatever. It's still gorgeous!

Shine On You Crazy Diamond...

Ah... you gotta love some Pink Floyd

I've had these swatches for a while now. Both polishes I'm going to show you are pretty similar and both remind me of this song, so I've decided to put them in one single post. Enjoy!

First one is OPI DS Coronation, a silver-based holo


This was 3 coats, picture taken in sunlight. Beautiful, ain't it?


Taken in shade

Next up, OPI DS Shimmer


Taken in sunlight, 2 coats

Like most other polishes from the Designer Series, these two are holos. DS Coronation is a silver-based holo while DS Shimmer is a clear-based holo. Application of both were great and the formula was very smooth. I don't think DS Coronation is as coveted as DS Glamour or DS Fantasy (to name a few) so they are less hard to find.

I personally prefer DS Coronation to DS Shimmer, since it is more "opaque". Shimmer is sheer which would be great for layering. I've tried Shimmer with 3 coats and the result was similar to the 2 coats picture. Also, in the bottle, it seems like there are little silver flakes in Coronation, which I find so pretty. It's definitely pretty not only on the nails but also in the bottle :)

Enlarge pictures to see holo effect!

That's all I have for now! Enjoy the rest of the week!

My First NOTD: OPI DS Fantasy

It's Monday! Vacations are over, I'm starting school tomorrow...


To start the week off, I have decided to share with you my Nail of the Day (NOTD)!

As I have told you before, I am a complete nail polish addict. Everyday, I check several polish blogs, follow the Nail board on Make Up Alley (MUA) and think about what color I should wear next.

Well today, I am proud to show you a long-time lemming of mine that I finally was able to get from TransDesign (my fav etailer for everything nail polish): OPI’s DS Fantasy.


It was(is) part of OPI’s Designer Series and is a dark blue holo. Although it is not as holographic as the rest of the collection, it’s still gorgeous! This is two coats, but could easily have been one (amazing!). It went on like so easily, like buttah! You can easily see that this is blue and not black in some lights and blue-ish in others. It’s definitely blue anywhere, anytime, anyday.

Words cannot describe how much I love this polish!

Here it is in the shade:
