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.

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.
