NOTD: The Polish that Started It All

I've been obsessed with nail polish for around 3 years now, and I have to thank this nail polish for it: O.P.I's 20 Candles on my Cake. 

I still remember going to the Philippines and getting my first manicure. When I came back from the Philippines, I love the color so much that I wanted to be able to have the same color on again if I wanted to. I definitely hesitated when I bought this because I thought $8 was so much for a nail polish, but finally gave into my first O.P.I nail polish, and the beginning of my nail polish addiction. I actually don't hear about this nail polish enough...or even at all: it is so under hyped! 

On my nails I have O.P.I: 20 Candles On my Cake minus my accent nail ring finger, which I have American Apparel's Rouge because of course I love something different on my accent nail. 

I wanted to spice it up with a a glitter tip, so I used China Glaze: Techno.

my first and possible favorite nail polish :) 

What do you think about this color? What is the nail polish that started your obsession?

NOTD: Deviantly Darling & Yodel Me on My Cell

I don't think I've been excited about an untried nail polish in I don't know how long! I'm definitely someone that prefers cream finishes over any other kinds just because its the easiest to apply and looks sophisticated, but after putting this polish on....oh my, I may have to change my mind. 

I've had China Glaze Deviantly Darling for around 9 months. I bought this because I thought the color was gorgeous, but didn't wear it for some time, and left to go to Europe for half a year, and when I came back from Europe, the finish just didn't really appeal to me. And today, I finally got myself to wear it just because I was going through my nail polish stash and trying to wear colors that I haven't before...and I'm so glad I did, because I'm absolutely loving it! 

As I was going through my stash, I was trying to see if something similar compared to Deviantly Darling, and I took out O.P.I Yodel Me on My Cell. It looks somewhat similar, but Yodel Me on My Cell is bit more blue and Deviantly Darling is more green. Both are gorgeous though!

I actually can't believe I like this combo so much! I will definitely be wearing soon!! I would definitely recommend both these colors, but I'm pretty sure (not 100% sure) that China Glaze Deviantly Darling is  discontinued, but Yodel Me on My Cell is very close and may be easier to get.

NOTD: Greycian Goddess & Recycle

I was taking off my last manicure, and I thought it was amusing to take a picture of my foiled nails :P . But seriously, I forgot about the foil method for quite some time. I've been taking glittered manicures off by just rubbing my fingers raw which made me not hate the idea of glitters because of it. But I remembered this method right as I was going to take it off, and decided to give a try, and boy....do I appreciate this SOO much more! 

RAW!

I wanted to go for a more settle look today so I went through my stash and since I haven't worn these two nail polish in ages, I decided to pull them out and wear them. 

On all my nails except the accent (ring) nail, I have on Loreal's Greycian Goddess and on my accent nail I have on China Glaze Recycle. I really like them both! Greycian Goddess has a purple undertone and Recycle is a bit warmer, but loving this mani!

NOTD: It's A Trap-eze! & Whimsical

I got China Glaze's: It's A Trap-eze! at Ulta the other day, and honestly couldn't wait to try it out. There were just so many different colors, and it looked perfect for spring. And I almost always use two different nail polish colors so I took out Revlon's: Whimsical because I thought they looked a bit similar with the base color. 

The first time I applied it, I decided that Revlon's "Whimsical" was too sheer to be on its own, and "It's A Trap-eze!" looked a bit messy with too much glitter with several coats, so I did a base color underneath both of them. To make it more fun, I used Essie: Borrowed and Blue underneath "It's a Trap-eze!" and Hard Candy: Sky underneath "Whimsical". 

L-R: Whimsical (over "Sky"), It's A Trap-eze! (over "Borrowed & Blue"), Whimsical, It's A Trap-eze!

Though I thought the mani was fun to wear for a little bit, I didn't really think it was an everyday manicure, so I ended up taking it off soon afterwards. I think if I used Revlon's: Whimsical for all my nails except for the ring finger, in which I would use China Glaze: It's a Trap-eze as an accent nail, it would be a bit more wearable for me personally.
