Nail Polish Wear

The polish I'm wearing is Nail inc color warwick way, I painted my nails last monday night. Both hands have OPI Nail Envy as a base and 2 coats of polish. I wanted to do a test to see if this polish would hold better with a top coat or not. From the pictures below you'll the result

Nail Polish Wear

Have you ever wondered how long someones polish last on their nails before they paint them again? I do, so I'm going to take after photo's of my nail polish wear and tell you how long I had them  painted and when they stated to chip. So lets get started

right hand


I painted my nails last Thursday night, I first started seening signs of wear about saturday morning when I was in the shower one nail started to chip. Then after that I would say the wear on the nails started more towards Sunday, where you could see the tips wearing away. From there it was all down hill chipping. All in all it did last pretty long 7 days and you can see from the pictures what took place.

OPI Mermaids Tears

Funny story last Thursday night I was painting my nails with Mermaids Tears by OPI, Justin had texted me asking what I was doing so I told him, then I sent a picture over to him of the polish he then sent a text back quote on quote"Ewww really? I don't like it. It reminds me of a swanky old hotel bathroom tile" what a thing to say lol, I on the other hand like the polish it's a grey mint green. I did repaint them for him since I was going to be with him for the whole weekend

Let me know what you think of the polish and if your significnat other ever says anything about your polish that you wear

OPI is coming out with a new collection called Touring America out this Fall/Winter 2011. When I was at the beauty discount store they had out the new world news this is OPI's news's for salon owners so that they know what is coming up an I grabbed one.

inside it say

Fall 2011, OPI takes to the American road with a palette of shades that brings a new spirit of classic styleto life. Autumn is the time to reinvent ourselves with stunning new colors-and what better inspiration than my recent road trip from coast to coast? These lacquers capture the Americana I love-an attitude of comfortable glamour and charismatic, wearable elegance. Truly united shades of allure.

Sephora by OPI Once a Cheetah, Always a Cheetah

OMG every time I went to Sephora this nail polish color jumped out at me, an don't you know that every time I went to go buy it that it was always out of stock just my luck don't you say lol.. Justin's a funny guy an knows that I love braises he wanted to do something an I didn't so he said he would buy me  my polish haha why wouldn't I take that right. He did pull through on it as always. The color is sooo crazy different then any orange I have seen it's kinda like a bronze orange with yellow in it so pretty for the summer an I love looking at it on my nails

Here's a few pictures plus a few extras of the cats and flowers around my yard

OPI Hong Kong Nail Polish

When I first saw this collection at the beauty store I was very interested to see if the new colors where going to be like the others they have already out. Well as far as I could tell they had about 4 new colors and the rest looked like similar shades they have already out. Jade is the new black really caught my eye it's really like no other green that OPI has or had out, the color is so pretty and very wearable as well. It has a blue under tone to it, it truely does look like a Jade color if you ask me. This picture does show off the true color too which I'm happy about.
