OPI Nail Polish


I'm getting ready to do an OPI nail polish order from 8ty8 Beauty, and I wondered if you guys would share your favorite shades with me.

I wore Los Angeles Latte to my wedding in 99 and it's been years since I've had a bottle of that. (Yes, I was going through a "brown" phase!)

I love I'm Not Really a Waitress.

My HG polish is Chile O Caliente, but it is out of stock.

What are your must-have OPIs?

Edited to add: And here's another good site to order from per Katee- Trans Design. Sorry Mr. Smoochiefrog!

well we know my very fave of all-time is bubblebath but I think you said you already have that. I LOVE I am really not a waitress as well! I mentioned the other day on my blog that I used Pearls Night Out and fell in love. Apparently (now this is according to my nail salon girl) darks like black, purple, deep reds are making an exit and whites are making an entrance. Interesting huh? The pearls night out is great if you want to take a baby step in to the "white category". But I have also seen in some mags that lots of celebs are wearing gray. Hmmmm. :)

I honestly have too many favorites to list!! If you want to see a bunch of swatches, go to my blog and look under the OPI label. You'll see tons! Also check Scrangie's blog. She has tons of OPI swatches too.

The new (ish) french collection has a lot of great shades, my two current favorites are I'm Fondue of You and Parlez Vous OPI? Life is a Cabernet is also great; it's a deep wine red color. nailgal.com has a convenient search feature to see modeling pics of nail polishes. Can't wait to see what you decide on!

Currently i'm loving Holy Pink Pagoda. I don't know what a pagoda is, but i don't think that matters. I'm wearing it in preparation for one of my very most favorite holidays of the year - it's very valentin-ey!

I didn't know about this site. I'll have to order some. Here they sell it for $10 a bottle. Let us know what shades you decided to go with...

Love Bubble Bath! I also like Lincoln Park After Dark (very dark purple), Cajun Shrimp (great for toes in the summer, very bright reddish pink) and Dutch Tulips (another bright pink with a slight hint of red, also good for feet or hands in the summer.)

OMG!!!! I wish I had known about this site yesterday! OPI for $4.48 a bottle???? I could kiss you right now!

Oh, sorry. You asked a question and wanted an answer. :)

My all time personal fave is Bubble Bath. You know I like anything with sparkles, so any of those in a light color comes in a close second.

Skinny Dip'n in Lake Michigan is a great sparkle, Significant Other Color is a great iridescent, Cozu-melted in the Sun is another one I like.

There are really too many to mention. I just bought Charmed by a Snake and can't wait to see how that one looks.

BTW, Mr. Smoochiefrog is extremely angry with you right now. I just did a Nutty Professor "Hercules, Hercules" clap when telling him about this site. He told me you're on his list. :)

I have so many faves but one that I fell in surprised love with is Golden Rules! On a whim I painted my nails with it and used a sparkley top coat and WOW did my nails shine & sparkle like nothing else! I received soooo many great looking nail compliments. (which is always nice :)

Sasha, I listed some scent details on my blog since you asked about my picks. Ok

Coney Island Cotton Candy---very pale pink, hardly any color so it doesn't show much if it chips

Beach Bum said...

My hubby bought me "We'll Always Have Paris" for Christmas. We went last summer and I thought that was pretty sweet of him! It's a darker egg-plant purple so I'm happiest when it's on my toes! Can't wait to hear what you end up choosing!

Interesting content.

Just wanted to share some information that may help busy professionals caught up with work and who have less time to maintain their nails. You can try out gel nails which are now becoming a hot favorite as they are natural looking even without nail tips and the best way for nail enhancement. Also, if you are allergic to those strong smelling chemicals which you can experience with acrylic nails, then you should use gel nails as these are odorless.

However, when you are planning on gel nail application, make sure you approach a nail salon or a nail artist who is well versed with gel nails and is properly trained and mastered in gel applications. This will save you from problems that can arise with improper gel nail applications.
