Twinsie Tuesday - Red Mani (OPI La Boheme)

Good morning! Today's Twinsie theme is a breath of fresh air after the nail art challenge last week. It's a simple red mani. I chose to go with OPI La Boheme which is a medium red with a light duochrome shift. Depending on the light La Boheme can flash orange, which you can see in the photos below. I used two coats of La Boheme and topped it off with Seche Vite.

I just purged this one recently, and now I'm sitting here wondering what I was thinking. 

Be sure to check out all of the red love going on this week:

Models Own Pinky Brown

Happy Friday! I normally don't post this late in the day but I had some time to catch up and figured what the heck? lol.

Today I have Models Own Pinky Brown from the Beetlejuice collection. I did a swap a few months back with an amazing girl from across the pond and she sent me the entire Beetlejuice collection. I had such a hard time deciding which to use first, so I grabbed this one and went for it. Pinky Brown is just that.....pink and brown. It's a duochrome with a very shimmery finish. For the most part the polish is a dark maroon/pink but the flash of golden brown gives it character. It was opaque with two coats (I keep my coats on the medium/thick side)

Does anyone else own the Beetlejuice collection? I'm not sure which to try next :)

OPI La Boheme - Revisited

Good morning girls! I had an amazing find over the weekend, a bottle of OPI La Boheme! My heart literally started to race and I started to panic as I went through boxes of nail polish, checking to see if I could find additional bottles. I have a bottle of La Boheme in which I found on a dusty hunt a few months back, but as I have read there are two versions. The bottle I found on Saturday was the second version, and the better one (IMO). A high duochrome radiated through the bottle, even in dim lighting. I asked the shop owners if they had anymore, and they looked at me as if I was crazy. I didn't want to tip them off in regards to how amazing of a find this was (they have told me 'no' to polishes before - and they are a supply store) so I kept my composure.

I got home and compared the bottles. The shimmery red is the same, but the color shift on my newer bottle is definitely more noticeable. In the bottle, you see a golden/rusty change and some green. I couldn't see the green on my nails, but am eventually going to try layering it over black, which I have read helps.
Formula was easy to work with, but since this is from 2003 it's not 3-free. The photos below show 2 coats of La Boheme and a coat of Seche Vite.

Without further ado, I share some greatness:

I'm in love......hands.down.best.red.ever.

Zoya Yasmeen

Good Morning all! First off, I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who purchased from my blog sale. I was stunned by how many I sold. All of my untrieds were giving me anxiety, so I feel a little bit better about my collection now. All packages will be going out no later than today (I only have 2 left to get in the mail) and everyone should have received their delivery confirmation numbers by now. Thank you, again! xoxo
Today I have Zoya Yasmeen for you. Zoya's website describes Yasmeen as a 'dark blue-toned purple base with very strong red-toned medium purple shimmer and hints of gold duochrome.' This polish is simply stunning. I knew I had to have this after seeing blog swatches, but it's so impressive in person. In my opinion, this looks like a dark maroon. It's like a maroon version of black cherry with slight gold duochrome. I love love love this polish, it really looks lit from within in the direct sunlight. Formula was really easy to work with and it was opaque in two coats.

The photos below show two coats of Yasmeen and a coat of Seche Vite in interior lighting.

Isn't it amazing?? Side note, this post was supposed to be scheduled for yesterday, but Blogger wouldn't let me upload photos. I hate disappearing for more than a day or so, but sometimes I just can't get a second to sit down and post. If only I had a sugar daddy LMAO!! ;)
