Happy Easter Everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend with time off to spend with your families! And hopefully the Easter Bunny didn't leave you toooo much chocolate :)

It feels funny for me to be sharing this colour with you right now, since Essie's Bangle Jangle is actually a shade from their 2011 Holiday collection. But the colour just screams Spring to me!

Bangle Jangle is a lovely creme shade of lavender, with a smooth formula and very easy application. The colour is fully opaque in two thin coats, and wears well for over 5 days.



I wore this colour on two separate occasions, just to put some variation out there.


Bangle Jangle worn with Sephora by OPI's Flurry Up on the ring finger above, and topped off with Essie's Shine of the Times down below. I still am obsessed with flakie effect - love that this particular topcoat shines orange, yellow, and green all at different angles.



And to finish off, the winner of the Christina M. Boutique giveaway is Allison! I have sent you an email, please respond within 48 hours!

Have a wonderful week! :)

Up this week, yet another colour from the OPI POTC collection!

Planks a Lot is a darker, dusty purple creme. I love the colour, but absolutely hated the application! I'm thinking it may have been because I have this in the mini bottle, versus the regular 0.5 oz sized bottle. The smaller brush was difficult to maneuver, and gave me a sheer, streaky application. It took 3 coats to achieve the right colour (the furthest I've ever had to do with OPI polishes is 2 coats!), and I was downright frustrated that it took so long to do my nails! I might just pick up the bigger bottle to see if that is the issue, because I have read that this particular polish had the best application out of the entire collection.



For the accent nail, I tried out the Sephora by OPI blasted nail colour in Blasted Gold. I picked up this bottle while in Seattle, and haven't had a chance to try out the formula til now.



This metallic polish is sheerer and runnier than OPI's Silver Shatter, and I found that it didn't crackle as well as I hoped. With a thin coat, the cracks were narrow and few, allowing very little of the purple to show through. Using a thicker coat, the cracks were a little larger, but still not as big as I was hoping for. I ended up digging my own lines into the golden coat of polish to tailor it to my expectations, haha.
