OPI - Hawaiian Orchid

xoxoJen's swatch of OPI - Hawaiian Orchid

This is a very sheer pink, at least four coats in this photo. The color wouldn't photograph right so I had to do a little photoshopping. It's still not exact, the pink is a really soft feminine pink. I think I have it too bright or something in this photo.
It has a purplish iridescence to it when the light hits it just right.

Arissa - Rockin Amethyst


I just happened upon this gem of a polish this weekend at Family Dollar. It was well worth the 2 bucks!
The polish is lovely, goes on smooth and coats in two aps, though I used three to get just a little more depth and coverage.
Its pretty dark for the most part except when the light hits it.

xoxoJen's swatch of Mannequin Hands

Sarah told me about mannequin hands and then showed me a few photos so I just had to try it!

A Perfect 10 Missy is a sheer cream and Not So Innocent is a sheer glittery topper.
I used about 5 layers of the cream and put my own spin on this by using 1 layer of glitter on top. Bottom photo is same mani with matte top coat added.

Milani 3d in #514 Hi Res

xoxoJen's swatch of Milani 3d in #514 Hi Res


Love love love this polish!
I applied 3 coats on Monday, my top coat on Tuesday and have not touched them since. (Today's Friday) There are no chips, no worn spots, no bubbles and no bumps. Its completely smooth and oh so fun to gaze at!

5 stars for this one!


(rainbow effect is photoshopped into the image, my camera just won't capture it. I think I got pretty close to how it really looks)
