At least for now!
Good evening! I don't have today's mani to show you, because, again, I wore a color I've already shown, and I didn't do anything different with it. If you're curious, I had Zoya Chyna on my tips.
Instead, I'm going to show the last of OPI swatches. There's just 5 of them, so sit back and enjoy :)
Starting off is The "It" color. This is a golden yellow that's very jelly like. It's not streaky like most yellows, but I still needed 4 coats for opacity.
Next up is Pamploma Purple. Pamploma Purple is more a berry purple than a regular purple, like Funky Dunkey. It's definitely a one coater, even though I did two for this swatch, and it's perfect for stamping.
In that same vein, Lincoln Park of Dark is also great for stamping. It's a blackened red creme that can be a one coater.
Alrighty, next is my other glow in the dark, Glow-ink in the Dark. It's kind of a purpley blue color that dries matte like Zombody to Love. My swatch was done with 4 coats.
Lastly is Russian Navy, the original. RN is interesting; it definitely looks like a purple shimmer in the bottle, but on the nail, it looks to be blue, and when you take it off, it looks green. It does stain. My swatch is 2 coats.
So there you have it! The last of the OPI swatches. I do have other brands that will get shown, too.

More random swatches
Good evening!
I know I normally post my Stamping Sunday challenges, but, well, today's was a fail in my opinion. The theme was spring flowers, and I had a great idea, but the execution left something to be desired.
So, instead of showing pics of my dailure (didn't take any, anyways), I'll show you some swatches I've been sitting on. Both are from OPI. The first one up is You Glitter be Good to Me from last year's Breast Cancer Awareness, which was paired with I Think in Pink. You Glitter be Good to Me is mix of large and small pink and rose gold glitter. It's not as dense as it appears to be in bottle, so you will definitely want to layer if you don't want to more than two coats of a glitter on the nail. For my swatch, I did three coats of it alone, no topcoat (although I prolly should have swatched it over at least one other color :P). First is inside with a flash, second is outside no flash.
The next swatch is one of OPI's glow in the dark polishes, Zombody to Love. This is from their Spookettes set. Zombody to Love is a lime green color that you could wear alone, even though it's rather sheer, or wear layered over, say, white to make it pop. Zombody dries to a matte finish. Now, I did 3 coats of this for my swatch and it was still more sheer than I like. Both of my pics were taken during the day, because my camera just doesn't like trying to photograph glow in the dark polishes. First is inside with a flash, second is outside no flash, no topcoat on either.
