Nicole By OPI - My Cherry Amour: Siiiiiiicccccckkkkkkkk

Blah! I'm sick and I have been for the past several days. I thought I would avoid getting sick this year because I like to pretend I'm invincible, but then the boy went and infected me with this damned cold! Anyways I'm feeling a bit better, but my nose is killing me. It was bad enough that I didn't change my polish for DAYS. My manicure actually started to........chip........and even then I still didn't have the energy to change it.

When I did gain a bit of my strength back I decided the least I could do was give myself a new manicure. Nothing fancy, just presentable. So I went with Nicole By OPI My Cherry Amour. This is a rich magenta, textured polish, with holographic glitter, from NOPI's Gumdrops line. It has that candy feel to it! I of course had to top coat it and wow, It looked stunning. It made the holo pop even more and made the colour look even more glorious. And just and fyi, it took 2 coats of TC to have it almost smooth(slight bumps not noticeable unless you looked closely) and 3 coats for total smoothness.

If you can get your hands on this I suggest you snap it up. I know it was a Limited edition collection, but you can easily find it on Amazon.

To matte or not to matte: Am I forgetting something?

The answer to that question is no.  I've just been bit caught up in life stuff.  I will be emailing the winner of out giveaway tonight and when they respond I will be posting the winner and of course some of your answers!

Now for the polish!  So I am in the loves with OPI Suedes.  They are mattes that never fall flat because of the shimmer. But for some reason the blue and blurple of the collection(Russian Navy and Ink) did nothing for me.  In my head I wanted them to be a bit more colour and a bit less shimmer.  I personally thought this would look more chic. (I don't know if this makes sense but I think it will when you see the polish I'm about to show you).

So was I ever happy when I found Nicole By OPI in No Limits Matte(in a discount bin)!  It was the colour that I was wishing the others had been!  First of all I'm not sure why they called this matte.  It's still under the OPI umbrella and it leans MUCH closer to a suede.  No limits is a deep rich navy blue, with just enough shimmer.  I used two coats but you can get away with one.  My one complaint about this is I found it dried SUPER fast.  So I had to move quickly so I didn't get any unwanted streaks, or bumpyness.

I think this was part of the limited edition Gossip girl collection, which means if you want this you'll have to do some hunting online.

Nicole By OPI - Vio-Let's Tak About Red: 39 hours awake. I'm fine.

Just for kicks I decided to write this review after not sleeping for 39 houts, just for fun.  I have also not decided to edit the text.  Ihaven't even taken photos of the polish yet!  But I'm wearing it so it's all good.

First of I don't remember the name of the polish at the moment.  But it's Nicole by OPI.  I'm not going to pot this right away so I'll put it up in the title when I actually do post it.  This name of the polish really describes the polish.  This would make all the sense if I could remember it.  But <Insert polish name> is a purple with pink undertoes and fine pink shimmer.  I had to use 3 coats for full coverage.  I was worried after the first coat because it looked quite pink.  And as you know I'm not much of a paink gal.  But after the second coat everything was fine as it leant more towards purple.  This is probably the girliest colour I have actually really liked. Normally I wouldn't have given this polish a second thought, but it was given to me as a gift!

*at that point something distracted me and I stopped writing.  I eventually went to bed 2 hours later*

Annnnnyyyyywwwaaayyyyysss  I pretty much said everything I had to say about the polish in my sleep deprived state.  The only other things I want to mention are 1)Even though I did use three coats the formula was excellent. 2)In the photos the polish leans pink.  In real life it is more purple, closer to how it looks in the last photo. 3) I clearly didn't remember the name of the polish last night.  I said the name of the polish describes the polish.  It does not.  Mainly because it says Red.  This polish is a pinkish-purple with no signs of Red.

What colour polish do you normally not wear? How long is the longest you have stayed awake for.  I was up for 58 hours once.
