OPI Mad as a Hatter.. (shoot me...

I didn't really like this one.................)



Maybe it was all the hype that built up a high expectation, but I did not like this one as much as I expected or wanted. After applying it on my nails, I honestly was a bit disappointed.... It is nice, don't get me wrong, but it's nothing amazing-definitely not as amazing as Absolutely Alice. Is anyone with me on this?

Between Absolutely Alice and this one, AA is for sure the better glitter from the collection.

Tomorrow is Grammy's night!! Can't wait to see all the celebs nails!! Hopefully, the bands and people I'm rooting for will win!!! I reaallly want MGMT, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Neil Young to win in their respective categories!

OPI Lincoln After Dark Suede

Pretty purple suede! I love this, along with the rest of the Suede Collection!

I've finally made up my mind and believe I am a matte fan! I love the colors that I own, and they are so practical! I basically applied this one 10 minutes before going to sleep and it still looked good the next day!

I know this has been asked many times, but I want to know, what do you think about mattes/suedes? Let me know in the comments! :)

Have a nice weekend!

Rescue Beauty Lounge Lulu

Hello!!!
How's your week going so far?!

RBL Lulu is a super cute light pink creme. I love the color of this one. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed: normally, RBL formula only takes two coats to get opacity. With Lulu, the formula was thin and streaky, so it took 4 coats to get bottle color and achieve evenness... still, there were a few lighter spots here and there but, I can let that slide ;) ....

Lulu owners, is your formula streaky and thin too? Let me know!!

OPI Absolutely Alice

One word: A-MAZING!

Do I need to say more?! If you don't have this one yet, GO GET IT!!!! My picture doesn't do it justice..... I didn't even take time to cleanup, I was so excited to take the picture!!!

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!

Lippmann Collection Marquee Moon

Morning! Weekend is here finally!
I hope you all had a wonderful week!

Today, I have Marquee Moon for you! Metallic silver base with silver hexagonal sequins.

From Deborah Lippmann:

Marquee Moon was created for the genius designers RODARTE's fall fashion collection and worn on the runway. Each nail is supposed to look different. You might get one 'sequin' on one nail and 10 'sequins' on the next nail. That is the way it is supposed to come out of the bottle so dont TRY to make the 'sequins'' come out and look the same on each nail. Deconstructed is the look on both of these shades [talking about Marqueen Moon and Funky Chunky].

I LOVE THIS!

I know many did not like Funky Chunky, but I'm glad to say that Marquee Moon is nothing like it! The silver sequins in Marquee Moon are bigger than in Funky Chunky, and there are a lot less [in terms of quantity] in the bottle. This means that the brush doesn't pick up as many hexagonal glitter so application is a lot better, I find. It was also easier to control. You don't have to worry about where the sequins are, or if there's too many sequins on top of the others, because the chances are that you won't have that many on your nails. As you can see from the first picture above, my right ring finger was sequin-less.

Funky chunky:
Also, since the sequins are bigger, a top coat doesn't change the look. With Funky Chunky, I thought it was better to wear it without a top coat.

If you didn't like Funky Chunky, I think you should give Marquee Moon a chance. It looks very nice in person, and it only took 2 coats to achieve bottle color, whereas with FC, after 2 coats, it was still a bit sheer.

What do you think? Did you like Funky Chunky and will you try/have you tried Marquee Moon?
