OPI's Shimmer into Summer Collection for Ulta

I'm a slacker...I know...I haven't posted in a while and have a bunch of pictures to post. Maybe I'll get caught up on the 4th of July.

I did see something in my Ulta ad that I got in the mail today. It was showing a new OPI collection that according to the ad was exclusive to Ulta called Shimmer into Summer. It had some pictures of some blue glitter shades but it didn't say anything about their names or so on...I was wondering if anyone has heard about these cause I can't find any swatches or anything about it anywhere. I'll update more soon...off to MUA to see if they have heard about it.

Glitah!!!!

It's been a few weeks since my last post so....time for a new one!!! Woo hoo!!! I do like me some glitter and was in the mood for it so I came up with a variation on a french manicure.

I use China Glaze's Aqua Baby (2 coats on top of a base coat). I used 1 coat of Seche Vite to get it to dry faster and some drying drops. I've seen people use reinforcements for the half moon manicure but I used it to get the bottom of the tips to be a little more rounded cause I suck freehanding it and tape was too straight of a line for me for what I wanted. But the tips are OPI's Simmer and Shimmer and then I Seche Vite'd the crap out of it (2-3ish coats). The glitter in the Simmer and Shimmer has a rough texture to it and I wanted it to be smooth. Overall though I liked how it turned out and should sparkle pretty well in the sun light.

I've decided to catalog my nail polish with color wheels, I'll have to post pics from that later...I also need another way to organize my polish. I've outgrown my current storage and still have nail polish on it's way. I'm hoping to get my order soon. It's some Zoya polishes which I've never tried before but hope to have some luck with them. More to come later!!!

Nail polish haul...

See the problem with sales on nail polish is that I have to buy a bunch....hahahahaha!!! BUT IT WAS ON SALE!!!! Sally and Ulta still had their buy 2 get 1 free deals going on, plus with Ulta I got $5 Ulta cash....just so I can perpetuate my nail polish collection...lol!!!

And the other problem with shopping for nail polish is that I never remember what I have so I am going to catalog my polish in Excel (I know, very nerdy). I think I got some duplicates. I need to figure out how to organize them a little better cause I'm running out of room. I got some Bundle Monster plates in the mail the day before last so I'm quite excited about that and now have some new designs to play with. I ordered some empty nail polish bottles off of e-Bay and got a bunch of glitter to play with. I'm going to try to make some frankens with them. Hopefully that goes well.
