What I'm Wearing- China Glaze Lorelei's Tiara

I was originally going to take today off from any kind of blogging activities. I go back to work Monday and my life will become very crazy, so I felt like I needed a rest. However, I got so excited about this polish, I actually couldn't wait to blog about it! I love that feeling, that's why I started blogging! I am wearing China Glaze Lorelei's Tiara today and loving it! I also think China Glaze Lorelei's Tiara really deserves the Last Post of 2011!

Lorelei's Tiara is lovely silver glitter in a clear base with beautiful ice blue round glitter pieces. The ice blue pieces are plentiful and quite noticeable. I was originally afraid that this would just look like another silver glitter polish, but the blue pieces really set it apart.

This is three coats. I would probably wear just two, but I thought three would be better in pictures. Three coats is nicely opaque, no bald spots or anything.

Lorelei's Tiara was my top pick of the Eye Candy collection from the very beginning and I am totally in love with it. I may pick up some more of the Eye Candy collection now!

Do you have any big plans for New Year's Eve? I'll probably be watching 24, as my boyfriend just bought the box set of all the seasons. We never do much for New Year's!

The China Glaze Eye Candy collection is available now at nailsupplies.us.

OPI DS Bold Makes This Pink Wednesday Special!

This Pink Wednesday didn't start out so hot for me. If you follow me on Twitter, you might have seen that I was away in the UK last week. So, this morning, I woke up at 5:30 (ugh), as I'm still not adjusted to being back in the US. It was really dark out and also POURING rain. Unfortunately, as the morning went on, it continued to pour rain and it's still dark. HOWEVER, I received a seriously awesome glitter-y package from OPI!! One of the precious polishes in this package was OPI Designer Series Bold. I immediately put DS Bold on all of my nails (none of the usual four nail swatching nonsense for this beauty).

OPI Designer Series Bold is a pink jelly base packed with small round pink and silver glitter. OPI's press release called it a rich red, but on me it's definitely pink. This is three coats, and it is nicely full-coverage. OPI says the formula contains diamond dust, which is probably why this polish is super sparkly!! It doesn't look as sparkly in my pictures as it does in person. I took these quick pictures for you today because I just couldn't keep this to myself!!I will need to re-photograph this when it is not pitch-black and raining outside.

The formula on this beauty was lovely. For a glitter, it was quite nice and thin, not super chunky like other glitters I have encountered. The glitter was pretty smooth with just one coat of top coat, but if you are obsessed with smooth nails, you might want to do two coats of top coat. I am REALLY in love with DS Bold, and it's companion DS Temptation (stunning, just wait!).

I know some people were disappointed that OPI strayed from the all-holo pattern of the Designer Series line, but I LOVE these. I haven't gone crazy over a DS polish in a long time, but I am flipping over these two!! I will have Temptation up later this week, along with (hopefully) better pictures of Bold. If you see these in store, I would buy them ASAP!

OPI Designer Series Bold is available now in professional salons, such as Ulta, Beauty Brands and Trade Secret.

This polish was sent to me for review by a PR agent for OPI. For more information, please see my Disclosure Policy.
