Collection Post: OPI, the Neutrals.

This is my last installment and yes I'm quite behind. lol
I'll start up the Zoyas after this! :D
But here we go! :)
L-R we have: Ti-Tan Your Toga (which I found out is a classic!), Barefoot in Barcelona, You Don't Know Jaques, and My Private Jet.
Ti-tan Your Toga: A sheer-ish white shimmer. Very pretty when you need a break from wild and wacky colors like I sometimes do.
Barefoot in Barcelona: the first nude I actually found to work with my skin tone! I now base all my choices off of this color. lol
You Don't Know Jaques: My favorite greige! It's very pleasing. :)
My Private Jet: sadly I have the green label. But it's still pretty!

They all apply pretty magnificently. :)

Collection Post: OPI, the purplies and blues!

Here are my darker OPIs.
Purples and a random DS! :D
Well here are pictures. :)
L-R: Pamplona Purple, OPI Ink, Russian Navy, Linkin Park After Dark, and DS Extravagance.

Flash! :)
Pamplona Purple is similar to some off the purple Zoyas I see floating around. I've had it for a while now. :)
OPI Ink was definitely a great find. So glittery!
Russian Navy reminds me of OPI Ink but a little less purple with more of a shimmer. I wish I would've gotten it in suede too though!
Linkin Park After Dark is a great vampy shade but I wish I would've gotten Linkin Park After Midnight instead. :(
DS Extravagance is a holo! I love holos. Nuff said. :))
Well goodbye my pretties. Until next time my fellow polish fiends. :D

OPI: The Greens!

I came to the conclusion that the pinks and reds were far too overwhelming.
So I'll be breaking the posts into smaller posts.
I'll probably do the same thing with the Zoya posts...which I'll be doing soon! :)
Anywaysss on with the post!
Below I have L-R: Gargantuan Green Grape, Jade is the New Black and Here Today...Aragon Tomorrow.
With Flash.
Here are the swatches.
GGG is about 3-4 coats as it is thin.
JitNB is 2 coats perfection.
HTAT is 2 coats for opacity.
With Flash.
I love OPI's brush and these are no exception.

All of these colors are very opaque and wonderful colors. I actually like the OPI wide brush for it's semi stiffness and controllability.
OH! And if you're wondering why some bottles are covered in polish, my mom dropped my polishes when we moved last year and we suffered 2 OPI causalities. :( I never got around to meticulously cleaning every bottle...maybe one day. :)
