NOPI-Yellow It's Me & Deborah Lippmann-Oh! You Pretty Things

Yay! It's Friday! Though I am not all that excited because that just means there is one measly little weekend separating me from my first day of classes. However, I am excited to post another swatch! Today I have Nicole by OPI-Yellow It's Me and Deborah Lippmann's Oh! You Pretty Things.


This is Yellow It's Me. I picked this up at (Surprise! Surprise!) TJ Maxx for $2.99. I am not entirely sure why I grabbed this one since I'm not a big fan of yellow polish but I noticed it had a coral shimmer to it so I thought I'd give it a try. 


This is two coats of Yellow It's Me. WAY to bright yellow for me. It was a bit hard to notice the coral shimmer unless my nails where in direct light. Because of this I decided to add more coral shimmer to the manicure. 


This is Deborah Lippmann's Oh! You Pretty Things. My wonderful mom purchased this for me at TJ Maxx for $5.99! 


This is after one coat of Oh! You Pretty Things. You can see that there is a lot more coral shimmer and it also toned down the brightness of Yellow It's Me. 


This is after two coats of Oh! You Pretty Things. It turned the yellow to kind of an orange color, which I liked, and the shimmer looked great! Both of the colors went on well; however, they are both sheer colors so you can, if you look really hard, see my nail line.

Nicole by OPI-OMB!

Hello & happy Thursday! I know it has been a while since my last swatch but, as I said before, I've been busy partying it up in Minneapolis & Rochester for the past few days and packing to head up north to my cabin next week.

Today I have for you NOPI-OMB! I let my sister pick out the color for this post since I had no idea what color to paint my nails.


This is part of the Nicole by OPI Justin Bieber One Less Lonely Girl Collection. Though I am NOT a fan of Bieber I like the polishes in the One Less Lonely Girl collection and I also like that I got them at ShopKo for $3.99 a bottle. 


Boo for crappy pictures! This is a nice red shimmery polish. It is super shimmery though you cannot tell from the picture. This manicure has three coats of OMB! 



Not the best clean up job but here is a picture that is more true to the color of the polish. It really is a lovely red loaded with red shimmer. I liked the brush on this polish, its the "perfect stroke" brush, as far as getting good coverage on my nails, but it seemed like the brush scratched the polish out of place as I kept painting.

However the manicure turned out nicely and if you are a red polish person you have to get your hands on this one!

Nicole By OPI-Coral Denominator

Happy Monday! Hopefully everyone had a nice weekend. Today I have Nicole by OPI-Coral Denominator.


The color is part of the Justin Bieber One Less Lonely Girl collection. What can I say about this polish other than WOW. I was pleasantly surprised by this polish. I love it and it makes for a really nice summer shade.


Coral Denominator goes on a bit sheer so here I have applied three coats. I love the shimmery coral pink base of this color and the bright gold glitter is really fantastic!

Coral Denominator is definitely one of my "go to" colors during the summer. It is just too bad that I only have one bottle!
