OPI - Russian Navy

Hey guys! I'm so busy this week with work and school so I'll just do swatches. Today I'm wearing OPI's Russian Navy and to be honest I'm not really a fan, but I know that a lot of people love it. This polish was the first OPI, I ever bought. It looks so pretty in the bottle, but once you get it on your nails, it's just like..... Boring. At least I think so. It looks kinda interesting in strong, direct sunlight, but it's kinda hard to find strong, direct sunlight, when it's rainy and only 42 degrees! 

Russian Navy is a purplish blue polish with red and turquoise shimmer. I find it a little hard to apply. The formula is a bit runny and hard to apply evenly. It might just be my bottle, I don't know. I used two thick coats to get it fully opaque.



These pictures are with flash, so you can see the pretty shimmer, cause like I said, I couldn't find direct sunlight.

Xoxo, Anne

First Fishtail Braid Nails

Howdy polish addicts! Today I made... Drumroll, please.... Fishtail braid nails! I think they look so cute and creative and winterish. And they are so easy to do. Mine aren't perfect, but as the headline says it's my first time trying :)

The base is Sally Hansen's Celeb City. The brown color is Essie's Merino Cool and the blue is China Glaze's Kinetic Candy.



Sorry for the dark picture, but I is so dark outside, though it's only mid-afternoon.

Xoxo, Anne

Essie - Merino Cool

Heeey gal! Soooo, today I have an awesome polish to show you! Merino Cool! I LOVE IT! Everytime I look at it, I'm like "FALL!"It just so.... Fall :) And it goes perfectly with that little brown dress. + Brown's the new black, right, RIGHT? No? Ok, but it's still a nice color.

Merino Cool is an mulberry purplish, greyish brown. It looks very different on different skin tones and in different kinds of lighting. I'm pretty sure it's a dupe for Sally Hansen's Commander In Chic and Sephora by OPI's Metro Chic, but I'm not sure cause I don't own any of those two. Merino Cool applies nicely and is opaque in two thin coats.
