Color of the Week: OPI La Paz-itively Hot (matte)

This is gorgeous hot pink. It is so different from all the other matte polishes. It has a wonderful almost...shimmer? to it and it slightly cathes the light which is unique for a matte polish. If I were to purchase only one matte polish it would be this one. FABULOUS!

Same pros and cons as the other mattes except what was previously stated=)

Color of the Week: OPI Comet Loves Cupid

POSITIVES:
-beautiful bright color
-excellent for the holidays

NEGATIVES:
-if you dont use a base coat it could stain your nails(as with any red)
-reds are always difficult to take off for me for some reason

i would recommend this color in a heart beat. wonderful cherry red. perfect color for snuggling with your sweety by the fire with a hot cup of cocoa. lol i dont know where that came from.

Last Week's Color of the Week: OPI Gargantuan Green Grape (matte)

POSITIVES:
-really cool and unique finish
-dry REALLY quickly (i painted the first nail and by the time i finished the second the first nail was already dry!) this is definetly a polish for impatient people or people on the go
-it look sa lot nicer than Russian Navy in matte actually not as flat looking (maybe because its a lighter color)

NEGATIVES:
-doesnt last as long as normal polishes
-because it dries so quickly there is not a lot of time to clean up the edges if needed
-your not supposed to use a base coat so it stains your nails but its not permanent so dont worry. you just have to spend more time taking it off
-you have to buff your nails or any ridges will show through

I would definetly recommend this nail polish. its definelty a good choice for a person who hates waiting for their nails to dry and always mess them up this is the polish for you. it is definetly worth the 9.00(approx)its a pretty unique and cute pastel green.
