OPI Take The Stage

OPI Take The Stage

When I showed you OPI Turquoise Shatter the other day, I realized I'd never posted OPI Take The Stage by itself! It is beautiful and definitely deserves it's own post, so here it is!

OPI Take The Stage

Take the Stage is from the 2010 Burlesque Holiday Collection. My mom gave me this beauty for Christmas, along with one of the glitter polishes from that collection. This is a gorgeous copper colored foil finish polish. I did three coats for complete opacity.

The formula was very nice on this. Foils can be tricky, but it applied evenly and didn't leave any patchy areas. I think my indoor pictures are the best color representation of this polish. The sunlight ones make it look more red than copper. All in all, Take The Stage is a very pretty metallic copper and looks great alone OR under any of the Blue Shatters!

One Year Anniversary/Happy Holidays GIVEAWAY!!!

Milani One Coat Glitters!

Last week was Never Enough Nails' one year anniversary! It's also that wonderful holiday time of the year, so you know I have to do a giveaway!

I knew I wanted to give away the Milani One Coat Glitters, because everyone is having such a hard time finding them. I figured it would make someone's day to receive something they really couldn't find, right? The only problem is that I couldn't find them!! I finally did find four of them:

Milani Gold Glitz

Milani Red Sparkle

Milani Silver Dazzle

Milani Blue Flash

These four glitters are the only ones I could find. Literally. I don't even own any of these myself! So sadly, I can't show you swatches, but the lovely Scrangie has swatches of these up. I am going to continue to hunt for some of these for myself, but in the mean time, one lucky winner will take home all four of these polishes!

Giveaway Rules:
To enter, you must be a follower on Google or on Twitter AND leave a comment on this post telling me what kind of polish you would most like to see released in 2011.
Please also leave a valid email address in the post and also tell me your Twitter name/Google Follower name.
The giveaway will end on December 23 at midnight EST.

Thanks for reading and sticking with me for the last year! Good luck and Happy Holidays!

Wet n Wild Tipsy- another 99 cent gem!

Wet n Wild Tipsy, one coat over Zoya Envy, no flash

Wet n Wild has done it again! I am so impressed with every one of their polishes I've tried, including the latest, Tipsy. Tipsy is a rose gold glitter polish from Glitz and Glam, the holiday/winter release of Wet n Wild Wild Shine polish. Tipsy has very fine bronze/rose gold glitter suspended in a clear base. This is definitely not a full-coverage glitter, but it makes an absolutely beautiful top coat over almost any color.

I tried Tipsy over Zoya Envy, a super dark green creme. I think it looks incredible. Tipsy gives the dark base a lot of interest. You can definitely see that the bronze glitter also has a slight pink tinge to it, that's why I think it's best described as rose gold glitter. Tipsy would also look fantastic over white, silver, blue, purple, or for a great holiday look, red. Tipsy would probably look kind of neat over a French manicure as well. I normally hate when I can see my nail under a polish, but Tipsy just made my nail look healthy and pretty.

Wet n Wild Tipsy is another fabulous glitter from a company that doesn't get too much attention in the polish world. I hope they keep cranking out the glitters- I will buy them all! At 99 cents, this is a Must Have that we can all afford!

Wet n Wild polishes are available at many drugstores- for a list, see here. I haven't seen Tipsy for sale online yet, but I'll keep looking.

Best Holiday Polish!!! Sephora by OPI Merry Me!

Sephora by OPI Merry Me!, three coats, no flash

I know it's more than a month away, but I already know what polish I'll be applying on Christmas Eve. Red, super sparkly, two different colors of glitter... it is really the perfect holiday polish.

Sephora by OPI, Merry Me!, three coats, with flash

I'm talking about the limited edition Sephora by OPI Merry Me!. This red jelly base is absolutely packed with both red and silver glitter. The red base does have a lot of pink in it, but it seems like the kind of red that will flatter a lot of people. After two coats, the pink becomes less noticeable. I did three coats for these pictures and the result was a gorgeous glitzy finish that I LOVE. The jelly base allows the glitter to really show through.

My pictures don't even show how sparkly this is in person. A shiny top coat brings out all of the sparkle, but I also think it looks fantastic matte (see below). I am definitely going to wear it the full-on shiny version on Christmas though.

For such a glittery polish, the removal process was super easy. I didn't even use Zoya Remove+, just regular polish remover! I think it might be because the glitter is pretty fine. The larger pieces of glitter always seem harder to remove.

Sephora by OPI polishes are available at a Sephora near you, or online at Sephora.com.
