Are you calling me a lyre?

I'm practically in love with this sheer OPI color from the New York City Ballet collection.  The application was smooth and flawless.  I used three coats for it to become more or less opaque, then I layered a coat of Nicole by OPI's "Make U Smile" over it, which is basically silver fine glitter mixed with silver hex glitter, from the Justin Bieber collection.  I'm no JB fan, but I do love this glitter polish!

Anywho, I have some swatch photos of Are You Calling Me A Lyre? and then a few more with Make U Smile on top.

Sealed With A Kris + My First Essence Polishes!

Sooooooo, I am very excited about today's mani and how well it turned out, but before I get to that, I'll point out that, of course, I went nail polish shopping again.  I couldn't resist.  One of my purchases was Nicole by OPI's "Sealed With A Kris" from the Kardsahian Kolors collection.  As much as I think the Kardashians are overrated, I do love this polish line!

I also purchased Sally Hansen Diamond Strength "Black Tie", Sally Hansen Insta Dri "Grape Going", and Essie's "Action" from the new summer neon line (that one must have been popular; I couldn't find it for a while, but I managed to nab it at Dominion).  I also purchased Essie's quick drying top coat.

Here's a picture in no particular order.  I apologize, the lighting is terrible.

AND, here's the new Essence polishes! "Choose Me!" and "Space Queen".  I love them.  They're so pretty! <3

Anyway, here's my mani:  three coats of Sealed With A Kris, topped with one coat of Essence's Space Queen.  I LOVE IT.  It turned out so shiny and sparkly.  -squeals with delight-  I wish my camera was better just so I could show off these nails.  These pictures do not do this justice, I swear.

I've also tried out Black Tie, which I have photos of for later on.  :)

Recent Haul

Okay, so...I didn't buy all of these on the same day.  I bought three one day, nine another, and then one on Friday, but I'll stick them all together as my most recent haul.  Obviously, I'm a polish addict.  Only a polish addict can buy nine bottles of nail polish in one day.

Fabulous is My Middle Name, Star of the Party, Khloe Had A Little Lam-lam

Whimsical, and Scandalous

Sun Kissed, Lighthouse, Midtown Magic, Significant Other Color, and You Callin' Me A Lyre?

School of Pyrotechnics, Born Into Privilege, and Muchi, Muchi.

Below is a picture that captures the color of Muchi, Muchi a little better.  I really do not like the quality of my camera.

I've also purchased Funhouse by Dandy Nails and Mystique by Glitrix.  I can't wait to receive them so I can try them out! They will be the first indie polishes that I will use! I'm totally excited!

I haven't used all of these yet...actually, I've only used five of them, but I'm getting there! :D

My first mani with these new polishes consisted of Khloe Had A Little Lam-lam topped off with School of Pyrotechnics.  It was pretty awesome; I wore it on the day of my college graduation.  My next manicure was Sun Kissed with OPI's Rainbow Connection on top.  I am loving the China Glaze Summer Neons collection, and I can't wait to get my paws on a few more.
