opi hey! get in lime

when chanel came out with their light green color jade last fall, people everywhere flocked to get their hands on it. so of course, polish lovers set out to find dupes in collections they had easier access to (and of course cheaper alternatives). i found mine in opi's hey! get in lime. it's a gorgeous sheerish creme mint green. there is a hint of shimmer in it as well, but it's hardly detectable. this swatch is 4 coats, this polish is super pretty but streaky and thiiiiiin.

also very close to this is mac's peppermint patti, claire's dreamcatcher and charlotte russe's jade color polish. megan chair has a post of basically all the mint green polishes that have come out, like EVER in this amazing post HERE. go check her out, she's fantastic.

opi my private jet

here a few sun pictures of one of the polishes i got for christmas, opi's my private jet. a classic dark charcoal holo, of which there are several different versions. i don't really know which version this is, but i like it :) this is 3 coats.

have fun today! i'm up in my room hiding from all the super bowl festivities going on at my house. hope everything is going well for you dolls :)

rbl recycle & starfish patrick

rescue beauty lounge recycle is one polish i've been lemming for A LONG TIME. of course, we all know why. for those of you who don't, i'll let you in on the secret. ZULU. nars zulu, that is. the famed discontinued dark green jelly polish that most of us will never see in real life. but recycle can make a small part of that dream come true. and i finally got it! lovely dark and super easy to apply, jelly-like but creme like too. this is 2 coats. excuse the tipwear, these pictures were taken on day three i believe. it looks pretty dark indoors, but is a definite green. much more so in sunlight.

afternoon sun

rescue beauty put out some "spongebob squarepants" themed polishes and i think they are all hilarious and adorable. i got starfish patrick, named for spongebob's cute albiet clueless sidekick. it is a sheerish jellylike cantalopey orangey pinky color that i adore! in the flash pictures it looks rather pinky but it leans more orange IMO. this one is pretty sheer, so you have to build it up if you don't like visible nail line. this is 4 coats i think and i still had a little VNL, but i don't mind it.
