OPI German-icure By OPI

This polish is from the OPI Fall 2012 Germany Collection and it is AMAZING!! If you don't have this by now you are missing out.  Deep glowy reddish brown, flawless formula, just amazing. I'm sure you've seen tons of pics of this polish and the rest of the collection over the past few months, but it is just too fabulous not to share!

Just wow! I love wearing this color, I have gone back to it many times since initially purchasing!

Disney Nail Art Challenge Day 4: The Little Mermaid

So day 4! I'm excited to have made it this far, is that pathetic or what? Commitment is clearly not my strong suit haha. The Little Mermaid is one of my favorite Disney movies!! Side note- My dream is to be Ariel at Disneyland.. Because we have a day dedicated to Ariel later on in the challenge I based today's mani on Ariels sister Alana. She was always my favorite because we have the same name, so as a young child I thought that meant that I too was a mermaid.

My pointer finger is China Glaze Liquid Leather and Dance Baby to show her black hair and pink crown.

Ring finger is OPI So Many Clowns So Little Time and Zoya Aurora to show her shell top

Middle Finger is Spoiled Kickin' The Habit and China Glaze Sweet Hook to show her fin

Thumb (my favorite nail of this mani) is China Glaze Sweet Hook and Chrome Girl Endless Summer

I think I'll go watch The Little Mermaid again :)

Disney Nail Art Challenge Day 3: The Fox And The Hound

Day 3 of Rambles of a Polish Addicts disney nail art challenge!! Today is inspired by The Fox and the Hound.... which I have not seen... So some useful googling brought me to a picture of Vixey the fox, who is freaking adorable. I'm using the challenge to push myself as a nail artist, so I decided to try and paint a picture of Vixey on my nail, and if I do say so myself I think it looks really good :)

The base color is OPI My Paprika Is Hotter Than Yours, the white parts are OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, the lighter orange around the eyes is Wet n Wild Sunny Side Up and the darker color is OPI Germanicure by OPI! This was done using a thin paint brush and various sized dotting tools.

Disney Nail Art Challenge Day 2: The Jungle Book

Day 2 of the Disney Nail Art Challenge hosted by Rambles of a Polish Addict, todays theme is The Jungle Book... honestly this day had me very uninspired.. So I was lame and did jungle leave nails. If you follow me on instagram you already saw these.. and if you don't follow me you should :) @sparkleandpolish

The colors I used are Sinful Colors Calypso, OPI Jade Is The New Black and Julie G Gelato In Venice. I tried to use the different shades of green to show the light and shaded parts of the leaves.. I probably should have done my pointer finger.. bad blogger :(

Disney Challenge Day 1: Alice In Wonderland

So this is day one of my latest challenge attempt... hopefully this goes better than my first one. I'm loving most of the daily themes so I think it should be easier to finish... I hope. The first 11 days are movie inspired, and today calls for Alice In Wonderland. I love the visuals in this movie, but due to my affinity for floral nails, I wanted to try something different.
I chose to do Queen of Hearts inspired nails. This is the picture I used for inspiration.

I love the intricacy in the background, using such muted colors and then the POP of color we see in the Queens outfit.

Colors Used:
Thumb, pinky and pointer finger: Sinful Colors Ardoise with China Glaze Liquid Leather layered on top via saran wrap method... hard to see but I thought it made the fingers more interesting, would have worked better with a lighter gray
Middle Finger: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Mellow Yellow and Sunkissed, China Glaze Liquid Leather
Ring finger: OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and Vodka and Caviar, China Glaze Liquid Leather

OPI Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous

You saw one picture of this mani in my Week 1 Photo Challenge post, here are lots more pictures of this blingy mani! I adore this polish! It has a flawless formula, glides on easily and stays where you want it to be. For my accent nail I used a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, the center dots are Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous and the dark outlines are Sinful Colors Ardoise! 

These are all photos from indoors.

Here are some outside pictures to show just how sparkly this polish is!

I love that this polish has blue undertones, as similar shades like Chanel Graphite and OPI Number One Nemesis looked ghastly on my pale skin tone.
