OPI - Dynamic Duo

On one of my many binge shopping trip to CosmoProf I picked up a gift set from OPI, it consisted of a glitter polish (which sold me right away) and a swirly lip gloss. It has 4 shades of purple gloss and 1 pink. Ranging from matte to shimmers. When it mixes together (and you can't not have it mix together...its swirled!) it produces a shimmer light egg plant purple.

NOTD: OPI's I Vant To Be A-Lone Star.

A very strange name that I can't see connecting with the collection. This color really surprised me. It look blah in the bottle, but after applying I saw it in a new light. It's a creamy greyish with hints of shimmers and blue tones.

OPI Serena Glam Slam Spark De Triomphe & White Shatter Set

 

I took a leap when I bought this set. The glitter is beautiful...but White shatter? uuuhhhh...hmm. I was pleased! The set comes with two nail lacquers, and directions on the back to achieving the shatter look. The glitter is a metallic silvery-gold. Where does that exist?

I think this is my last color from the Halloween 2011 collection. But I make no promises. You haven't seen my ever growing bag of nail polishes. It's insane!

Nails from B Bella Salon

I justed wanted to share my new nails that were done at B Bella Salon in the South Loop of Chicago. They had a promotional season special for $20. For downtown Chicago I jumped on THAT.

Mani/Pedi Time!

Being a tom boy for so many years growing up, I didn't fully embrace being girlie until college. To top it off I'd never ever had a manicure and pedicure. I have always been an avid nail bitter. It's a nervous problem. When an email was sent to me from WeDeal.com I knew I wanted to take advantage of it and get my manicure and pedicure.

Below is the girl giving me a pedicure. She laughed when I was clueless how this went. I was ticklish as hell!

Rosie's mani...so pretty
