OPI German-icure: Blame tumblr

I was actually going to do this post a few days ago but right as I was about to start it I decided to take a look on tumblr.  Then over the next two hours I was lured into tumblrs, seductive, fandom folds.  Upon my my harrowing escape from the Tom Cumberbatch's and the Supernatural Thor's, I briefly did attempt to make a post, but my photo editing program was having none of it.  Today after restarting my laptop and staying away from tumblr I am finally here.  Do not fear.

OPI's German-icure is from OPI's fall 2012 collection.  It's a shimmery, vampy red, with brown undertones, and even a slight gold shift in the shimmer.  It was 2 easy coats.

This is one of my many go to colours.  I don't actually have a specific polish that I go to I have a colour.  I love a good vampy red.  I am that person who normally wont buy two polishes if they look remotely close.  Vampy reds are my weakness.  I will buy them all.

Do you have a go to polish or colour?  Do you use tumblr?  Isn't it magical?

OPI German-icure: *Swoon*

So this is the polish I got from Robyn on my Birthday!  Yay!  I LOVE this colour.  Give me vampy and I'm all over it like a couple who takes PDA too far.

Germani-cure is a brownish red shimmer.  Depending on the lighting it can look more of one then the other.  It went on in 3 easy coats.  Although I'm sure I could have gotten away with 2.  Formula was perfection.  While the flash makes it all pretty and shows off the shimmer, in most lighting it's deeper and darker, then in the sun or under flash.  But let me just say either way this is a stunner.

This is for sure going in my list of favorites.  It reminds me a lot of OPI's Royal Rajah Ruby(another fav).  They aren't exactly the same.  They are more like cousins.

If you like vampy shades I suggest you get this right NOW (after you finish reading this and look at the pictures).

Have you left to go buy yourself a bottle yet?  GO!  (Unless you own it)

Barry M Red Black - My Nails Express My Inside Feelings!!!

Remember how a few posts ago I was talking about how I had a bad night due to being stuck in the rain amongst other things?  Well on Sunday I had a talk with that someone who may or may not have forgotten me in the rain.  I had obviously been angry.  Before I met with said person I used tape and kind of made my nails look like claws.  I mean if I couldn't actually claw his face off, I wanted to at least give the illusion I could.  Long story short though everything is all good now. We kissed and made out up.

Now on to the swatches. Barry M Red Black is a deep blood red jelly... you can almost call it red black.  It's full of all sorts of vampy sexyness.  And what makes it even better is I'm pretty sure is an almost, if not dupe for Chanel's Rouge Noir. Who doesn't like saving money? (The Kardashians, that's who).  For this manicure I used 2 coats on most fingers but a couple needed a bit of touch up. The formula overall was great.  I love, love, love this polish!!!

Zoya - Sam

I'm quite excited to be posting this. This is the first time I think I've posted a vampy colour.  Now I love all sorts of colours but when it comes down to it if you were to ask me what I like best I would probably say vampy colours (especially reds).  Not only do I think darker, vampy colours work better on my skin tone, I just think vampy colours ooze sexy.  I always love having nice nails, but colours like these just add a little something else that I don't get with brights or glitter bombs.

Anyhoo I should get on to the actual polish now.  Zoya Sam is a deep red polish with brown undertones And a jelly finish.  If I were to really describe this colour to someone I would say it looks like dried blood... but wet.  I used 3 coats in these pictures.  I had a bit of cuticle drag but it might be because I was rushing.  I used three coats.

Now truth be told while I love vampy colours this isn't my favorite.  It's really nice and all but I have others that I just like a lot more.
