Color Club Where's My Soiree and Essie Perky Purple

Yes, another black and purple combo. Because I like them a lot as individual colors and in concert with one another. I wanted to see what the neon Essie would look like with a top coat. The formula for a neon polish is similar to a matte-finish formula. So, chipping was once again an issue.

Nicole by OPI The Right Thing and Rescue Beauty Lounge Teal with China Glaze Wireless holo

Orange and teal and ahimmery and sparkly. I wanted to go have an orange push-pop. It was so hot outside, that I needed a fiery nail to match. I like oranges with blues in the summer, and these two worked. I used two coats of the holo, for a real glow.

OPI Jewel of India and Bon Bon scented polish Blueberry Pie

Pretty, shimmery, fairy combo. I am trying to integrate all the scented polishes, since they were a gift. I wouldn't mind decorating a small room in these colors. They're good together.

ManGlaze Death Tar and Bon Bon scented polish Groovy Grape

I'm a sucker for a trend. Especially a trend involving dark polishes. Mattes are all the rage right now. ManGlaze is way old school (as in, they were country when country wasn't cool). I wasn't really pleased with how quickly it chipped, but that's to be expected with any of these mattes. In order to get that beautiful finish, their formulas must be different from the glossies. I wonder what ManGlaze would look like with the Poshe top coat.

Nicole by OPI Berry Sweet and OPi You're a Doll

I get a lot of mileage out of the Doll. Last time I wore it, I noticed in the sunlight that it's got red microglitter dots. I don't know why I never noticed them before. I always just through it was an icy lavender. So, I figured I'd pair it with a new red. All in all, I really think the combo is lovely together. I wore my black and white rose ring with this, and it was super-presh.

China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise and OPI Curry Up, Don't Be Late

I suddenly love how the Curry looks with everything. I don't love the visible brushstrokes in the metallic polishes. I heretofore had avoided gold in all shades. Then, I got some cute gold leaf earrings, and they're almost the exact color of the curry. Gold and turquoise make me happy together. I have my eye on some gold gladiator sandals with turquoise detailing. <3

Nicole by OPI Virtuous Violet and OPI Brand New Skates

I'm glad the Nicoles were only $2. I have to use three coats of them to get them to be as opaque as I like for my polish to be. That being said, I heart this purple. It is both dark and bright. No real complaints about it, other than it being slightly runny. I could see loving this color intensely, culminating in a quiet countryside commitment ceremony, where I'd wear a crown of violets and a diaphanous lavender gown.
