Two coats of "Lavender" with Seche Vite Top Coat

I picked this nail color last week while I was at Forever 21 and I thought it was the perfect color for Spring and especially for Easter.  It’s a pretty pastel purple, that I think would look great on a lot of different skin tones. The color is quite opaque and  creamy, you can get away with wearing one coat if you’re in a hurry. However it does dry pretty quickly and you can apply a second coat within a couple of minutes. The finish is shiny so you don’t need a top coat for the extra glossiness, but I do recommend one to keep your nails looking beautiful for a longer period of time.

You can find this nail polish along with other many beautiful colors at Forever 21 for only $2.00!

Last Friday Night, Not Like The Movies, The One That Got Away, Teenage Dream, Shatter

Back in January OPI released their very popular Katy Perry collection of nail colors. There are five different shades in the collection, but two of them seem to have done a lot better. Teenage Dreams, and the standout of the line is the Black Shatter nail color. It took a looooong time for me to finally get my hands on one and I have been meaning to do a post about it.

Black Shatter is a black top coat that cracks as it dries on your nails to give them a crackled effect. When it was first released a major misconception was that it would only work with the other colors in the line. I think it was just OPI trying to get us to buy more of their polish. You can use this on ANY color you prefer! However, in my own opinion I think it looks better on top of brighter nail polishes. Since Spring and Summer collections are coming out you can definitely take advantage of that!

If you do a thin layer the effect is slightly different than a thicker coat. The polish does dry pretty quickly so make sure you get your desired amount on your nail on the first try to avoid a clumpy mess.

I’m not one to always have a perfect manicured hand with no chips on it so I couldn’t really tell you how well it wears. But I do know that if your like me and don’t keep up with your nails and maintain them, this is a great polish to hide those little chips as the days go by.

Have you picked this up yet? What’s your favorite color to wear with it?
