This one's a beaut

Last weekend I was in the city with my boyfriend and we stopped by the gap, the clothing store and came across this beauty!

The Gap - Gold Rush!
He had recently told me that they were selling nail polish but they were mainly basic creme colors, but when I saw this one in the bottle I paused because it resembled Chanel - Peridot and had to have it.  Having a lovely boyfriend, he was nice enough to get it for me even though he doesn't support my polish addiction, lol.

Stay tuned to see the swatches soon!

China Glaze - Trendsetter

Trendsetter has been on my wishlist since I laid eyes on the metro collection last year, sadly China Glaze seems to be hard to come by in NYC so I don't have many of these.  Luckily I'm part of a "swapping group" and someone was nice enough to send me this plus OPI's I Vant to be A-lone Star, with a bunch of yummy sweets!

 Trendsetter is a unique color and does exactly that set a trend for a city girl like myself.  To me it's kind of a pea green color with shimmer throughout it, making it completely awesome!  People complimented me all week as I wore this color, it's that unique!

I applied Trendsetter on a Sunday and the picture above was taken Saturday afternoon and almost a week later it looks great!  You see a little nail growth and tip wear but it still looks awesome!

NOPI Hard-Kourt Fashionista!

 I swear I'm such a horrible blogger!  I create a post one day then reappear a month later, lol.  I'm sorry I'm just getting into the swing of things!
Valentine's Day 2012

This Valentine's day I was NOT in the mood for lovey-dovey crap! lol.  While everyone was posting beautiful Valentine's Day manicures and swatching the best new Pinks and Reds available, I was at home with the acetone removing my 52-Week Challenge mani (which happened to be v-day related (-_

I needed something pretty and that shouted "Liz", that's when I came across the recently acquired Hard-Kourt Fashionista from Nicole by O.P.I Kardashian Kolors.  Kourtney is probably the most level headed out of the entire Kardashian Klan and reminds me of myself, just a tad, so I had to try it!


Hard-Kourt Fashionista is an opaque dark brown creme with great coverage and unbelievable wear.  I wore this color for almost an entire week with no chips and minimal tip wear.  I absolutely love it and believe it's a great brown for any collection.
