OPI Polish- Rally Pretty Pink | BeautySW

Hey everyone my sister got my this OPI Polish to add to my collection last week and I just love it, It's my new favorite. Who can dislike this colour? It's just impossible...
Depending what lighting you are in it looks different, Sometimes it looks gold, sometimes pink, others light purple, its just great. Its so shimmery its untrue and it makes such a pretty colour. I have been wearing it on my nails since she bought me it and it has not got boring at all. One bad thing I have to say about it, is I put it on one night without a topcoat and then washed my hair and it faded so much It left me with just the gold shimmer and no other colour, strange because it's never happened with any other polish- so make sure you wear a topcoat because then it doesn't fade.

A fair few snaps I know... I did get a little carried away with taking pictures with my wheel, but I wasn't sure on the lighting on any of them so thought you could see them all to make it out for your selves. 

Ring finger glitters

OPI- On collins Ave

Barry M- Blue 

Recently i have been loving wearing a nice polish on all my finger nails but on my ring finger wearing a glitter polish over the other polish, i think it looks beautiful! Most of the time i have been pairing any nail polish with Barry M Limited edition- silver glitter over the top though i tried Barry M- Blue moon and .......L.A. colors-treasure island over the top and that looked really pretty. I don't have that many glitter polishes because i just think they are a nightmare to take off but i think i will be looking around for some more pretty ones to wear like this, any recommendations?

Summer nail polish

from left to right- barry M- peach melba, Natural collection-Antique coral , Barry M-Coral

No.7-Tangy, Barry M-Pink Flamingo, OPI-You're a pisa work

now i know the first two arnt the summery-est colours but i thought they fitted in well and i will be wearing them in summer. No.7-Foxglove , Barry M-Bright purple , Barry M-Berry

No.7-Milan , OPI-Blushingham Palace, No.7-Rose Truffle 

Andrea Fulerton- Jessica Barry M-Spring green, Barry M-Mint green

Barry M- blue moon, No.7-Poolside Blue , Barry M- Limited edition, silver glitter

Barry M- Block orange

so as you can see the majority of my polishes are Barry m and No.7, when Boots do the £5.00 vouchers i normally buy nail polish with them thats why i have a few No.7 ones and I sort of collect Barry M ones. The last color -Barry M, block orange is the most resent that I have bought, thats why it's not on the color wheel but i love it. I study at Hull college and you can buy Barry M polish for £2.00 so thats really cheap so if your college does beauty therapy check see if they sell Barry m in the reception its much cheaper!
In Summer I love wearing light pastle color nail polish, I think it just looks nice and bright on tanned skin!

Pretty pink 'n' pink Nails

I did this picture just to show how to do the reinforcements because i didnt know how to explain it in writing but my nails have on them here- OPI, flower-to-flower and over it Barry M, limited addition silver glitter.

Hello everyone, so i saw this nail art on Lauren Conrad's Blog so thought I'd try it out for myself and see how it looked. I deiced it looked great but because the polish was so thick towards the end it took sosoo long to dry, infect i don't think it dried completely through for about the full day. I think if the look was done with better quality nail polish and a good quick drying top coat it would be great, especially for summer!


So on to how to do:
First, protect your nails with a base coat, I used-Sally Hansen, Double Duty base& top coat.
Then you need to paint your whole nail a bright or dark pink (doesn't have to be pink but thats what I used, great color for summer) and I used the color-OPI, You're a Pisa work.
Now you need to stick two reinforcements together (like shown in picture) and stick them a third way down your nail. Paint the part of the nail that is showing above your reinforcements  a slightly lighter  shade of the color you chose I chose-Barry M, Pink Filming. Leave it to dry. 
Again you need to stick the reinforcements half way down your nail After you have done this you should paint your nails another lighter shade and I used more of a peachy shade again from Barry M, shade 'Melba'. 


This is how you can acheive this look, i think its a great idea, I use the reinforcements for college work but i always have about 300 (you get about 500 in a pack for around 90p) left so its a good way to use them all up!

My small but growing OPI collection

My collection is growing! so if you read post on my OPI nail polish in the color 'You're a pisa work' you would know that was my first OPI polish i had ever tried, but since then i have grown three new babies to my collection of OPI polishes. I love all four colors of the polish i have and haven't stopped wearing them since getting them. I would say i have been neglecting all my Barry M polishes (sorry barry M polishes), but i just love these! the brush is great because its large so you can paint all ten nails in about 3 minuets (no joke), and they dry soso quick so I'm not waiting 20 minuets because i can do anything because when I'm wanting for polish to dry i always smug it. 


The colors are so vibrant and pigmented, the only one I have used that hasn't given an opaque finish on the first layer is the color Flower-to-flower but on the second coat it is a great summery color and i love it! Out of the colors i have I probably dislike Blushingham Palace the most, its just not something id go for, I bought it off e-bay and in the picture it looked like a pearly pink, but when it got to me in the post its more of a metallic pink, although i like it the lease i don't hate it and i do still wear it.

First OPI polish review?

Hello everyone, as you can see I'm writing a review on an OPI nail polish. This polish was bought for me from my lovely sister last week and I absolutely love it, It's such a nice color. Though it looks more coral in the pictures than it is in real life, it's actually more of a bright pink shade than a coral. The polish in in the color 'You're a pisa work' I love the names of polishes too they just make a bigger personality (if that makes any sense). 

I think the OPI nail polishes are about £11 (one of the reasons i have never bought one for myself). Which is pretty steep for a nail polish, i know the Essie nail polishes are cheaper and i have a few of the Barry M nail polishes and think they are great for £3. But this nail polish does dry really quick and doesn't chip, i think my nail polish collection will have a few more OPI polishes in there soon, i shall keep you updated on that. 

more posts soon
