OPI - Skull & Glossbones

Hello everyone,

I've been having these pictures in my drafts for quite a while, I don't even remember when I did this. It's not the greatest swatch I could do, but I've decided to publish it because I'm so late with all the collections and everything...
This colour will probably worth a re-swatch later on this year, because it's a great colour! Skull & Glossbones is a beautiful and very original shade of light grey, but with a very subtle beige undertone. No dupes I could find for it! This is actually my favourite of the Pirates of the Caribbean collection (number 2 being Steady As She Rose).

The consistency of this one is a bit watery, but no biggie, it layers very well, and it's perfectly opaque with 2 coats. Dries quickly also.

Here I'm wearing 2 coats of OPI Skull & Glossbones, no top coat:

And here is the lousiest pirate of them all. Sorry for him. He looks angry and powerless!

 I've got only Mermaid's Tears left to swatch of this collection. Coming soon! ;)

Thank you for watching!

See ya soon!
Hugs!!!

OPI - Sparrow Me the Drama + another pirate face ;)

Hello everyone,

Aah... It's sooo good to be on vacation!  ;D I don't have any alarm set on my clock, I do whatever I want! Yaaaaay!!!! ;D

Today I'll be showing you the 4th polish of the Pirates of the Caribbean collection: Sparrow Me the Drama.
Cute, cute, cute pink! I really love this shade. It is not bright at all, I could even call it dusty, and I also think it has a touch of lilac in it. The application was very good, in spite of the watery formula, a general characteristic of the entire collection. It is opaque in 2 coats and the drying time was OK.

So here I'm wearing 2 coats of OPI Sparrow Me the Drama + 1 coat of Seche Vite:

And finally, the pirate dedicated to this polish ( again, I used a Peggy Sage black nail art pencil):

Thank you, everyone, for watching!

See ya soon!!!
Big hugs!!!

OPI - Stranger Tides + pirate face ;)

Hello everyone,

I'd like to start with a BIG THANK YOU, to all of you who participated to my first giveaway! It was a real pleasure for me and I had great fun! I'm used to work with Excel so, it was not so much time consuming after all ;) I got to see so many different blogs and to know  lot of people. I'm surely going to do this again.

Today I've got for you a 3rd polish from the Pirates Of the Caribbean collection: OPI Stranger Tides. From the moment I've seen the add for the fist time, this has been a great lemming! I thought it was going to be my favourite of the collection... And it really is a very, very nice colour, but it looks so "meh" on me! Really not flattering with my skin tone. A lot of colours suit me, but not this one... I'm disappointed.
Yet, the colour is GREAT! (however, Essie Da Bush is a perfect dupe for this one)
The formula is good, but a bit watery, but that is the same for all the polishes in this collection. The application is OK too, and is opaque in two coats.

Here I'm wearing 2 coats of OPI Stranger Tides, no top coat:

And now, here is the little pirate dedicated to this polish! Again, I used Paggy Sage's nail art pen (black) and for the bandanna I used Misa - Like It Like That.

Thank you so much for watching!

See ya soon!
Hugs!!!

OPI - Planks A Lot

Hello everyone,

So here we are, on the 1st of August 2011 (well it's actually 00h10)! My giveaway is officially closed. the winner will be announced tomorrow evening.
Thank you so much, all of you who entered it and a big welcome to you, my newest followers! It's a pleasure to have here! Thank you! I hope there will be many more to come! ;)

Today I'll be showing you the famous OPI Planks A Lot. This is such nice light purple cream! Though it is not my favourite of the collection, and it never said anything to me in the bottle, one on the the nail I really like it! And I think I'm going to wear this (Planks) A Lot! ;) The application was OK, and the drying time very good too. I've heard that pastels are not very easy to apply, but I think that this has a very nice formula. A little warety, which makes it impossible to use with Konad, but the application for a normal mani is good.

Here I'm wearing 2 coats of OPI Planks a Lot  + 1 coat of Seche Vite:

And the usual pirate of the Caribbean! I used Peggy Sage's black pen and Claire's two way nail art pen and brush, in silver:

Thank you everyone for watching!

See ya soon!
HUGS!!!

OPI - Steady As She Rose

Hello everyone,

Hope you've had a great Saturday! Me, I went shopping for sandals, because it's sales time here in France! And I've got myself 2 really cute pairs of sandals (one high healed, the other one flat).

Anyways, today I'm gonna show you the first polish I've got from the OPI Pirates Of the Caribbean collection: Steady As She Rose.
What a nice shade! I really love it! This is one of the reasons I've bought this collection! For the moment I'm really satisfied. It applies really well, and it's opaque in 2 coats. I think the drying time is very good, unexpectedly good. But I'm really crazy about the colour: is light pink, with a touch of violet, which makes it lilac-ish in a way, but there's also a bit of gray, so it's not very bright. Adorable and very wearable at the office.

Here are the pictures! I'm wearing 2 coats of OPI Steady As She Rose, no top coat:

And finally I've decided to add the face of a little (Caribbean :D) pirate on my ring! I've used Peggy Sage black pencil for the little head:

I'll try to make him smile the next time ;)

As I promised to Liz, I'll publish 3 pics of Titi, my parotlet  (2.5 years old, I have him since he was 6 week old...):

Playing with my bracelets

In his cage with his "ex", Orchidée (she flew away... that was a tragedy...)

LOVE LOVE LOVE : D <3 <3 <3

All rightie...I'm gonna go to sleep now...

See ya soon!
Big hugs!!!
