For the upcoming holidays season OPI is releasing it's newest collection inspired by the nostalgic film Breakfast at Tiffany’s, starring a classic icon of eternal beauty, Audrey Hepburn. As expected, the shades in this collection and their names are inspired by Audrey's character and the unforgettable moments from the movie, creating together a a collection of 12 shades with a fashionable and sophisticated touch.

OPI are keeping up with the tradition and releasing a new Soft Shades collection for 2016 with six new soft pastels to welcome the spring. The shades in this collection are very spring-appropriate and my favorite out of the bunch is without a doubt Stop I'm Blushing!

Hello lovelies! It's been quite some time since I last dedicated an entire post to a single nail polish, and I'm pretty sure there are a few among you that have missed these kind of posts, so hopefully you will enjoy this festive nail look that I have for you today. If you are following me on Instagram then you've probably noticed the teaser photo before, and some of you might guessed it right - the mesmerizing nail polish that's on my nails in this photo is OPI Don't Speak, which is a part of last year's collaboration with Gwen Stefani for their holiday collection. If you would like to get a closer look at this beauty, then keep on reading!

I've been thinking about changing my nail shape to almond for a while, and today I finally decided to do it! 

Keep reading if you would like to know what led me to this change and how I feel about my new nails.

Today is another Shimmer Polish day! 

Check out the swatches I did for three fabulous polishes by Shimmer Polish.

Cristina is a mix of tiny colorful glitter in teal, green, black and red. This very unique and beautiful combination instantly made me think of Christmas. I decided to layer it over a dark green/teal base - Barry M Watermelon. I applied one coat of Cristina over two coats of Watermelon, and added one coat of Poshe to smooth it out.

Karen is a mix of violet, purple and pink glitter. It's so gorgeous in the bottle as on the nails, the pretty holographic glitter was so sparkly and gorgeous in the sun.
I layered it over a dark purple base by Barry M - Plum, so the violet color will pop against it.
This is also one coat of Karen over two coats of Plum, with one coat of Poshe.

Mary is a mix of mostly red, black and silver glitter in red tinted base. This polish also has a hint of holo glitter to it, which makes it even prettier. The combination of the red and large black glitter made me imagine a giant sparkly strawberry. I layered it over a dark red base by Barry M - Pomegranate. It was so sparkly and juicy on the nails, gotta love it!
For the photos below I applied one coat of Mary over one coat of Pomegranate, and topped it with one coat of Poshe.

In this post I will be showing you some swatches of the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine polishes from my collection.
I really love this brand, and when I tried the Gelly formula I came to love them even more.
These polishes have a great formula; it's very pigmented, opaque and very glossy! I can't wait to put my hands on some more colors from the new collection.
Meanwhile, here are the swatches of the polishes I own from this great line.

Grapefruit is a bright and sweet pink. It's it's a very pretty color, I can't really describe it, but it has a neon look to it, and a bit of coral tint. It reminded me of OPI Suzi's Hungary Again from what I've seen in swatches (I don't own this color).

I used two coats for the pictures below. No top coat applied since it's so glossy, like all the polishes in this collection.

Plum is a dark purple shade, a beautiful color which I was happy to add to my collection.

I'm really love purples and I was looking for a good dark creamy polish - and this one perfect for me!

I applied two quick coats, I don't even know if I can call it two coats or one, since I applied the second coat right away while the polish was still wet. It had a great coverage with just one coat, but I wanted to enhance the color and the glossy effect, so I applied another quick coat on each nail.

Pomegranate is a dark red shade, very classy and gorgeous. You will be surprised to hear that this is only 1 (one!) coat of the polish. It's super opaque and gave a great coverage, so I was very satisfied.

I will tell you a little secret about this polish; I was getting ready to leave the house and go the a wedding, and of course I'm always so late late late, I had about 5 minutes to pull off a mani before I had to leave the house. I was in total panic, I can't leave with naked nails! So I recalled seeing swatches and reading about the great coverage of this line, so I decided to try my luck with this one - and it did the job! I had a perfect and super quick mani with just a base coat and one coat of this polish. Didn't even had the time to apply a top coat (shame on me!) but it was so shiny and dried so fast, that you couldn't even tell! I was super happy with this one ;)

Watermelon is a dark blue-toned green, I don't have anything like this in my collection, and even though I don't really like greens - I think this color is fabulous and I would love to wear it again.

Such a great and juicy color, love it! This is also two quick "wet" coats, no top coat.

Hi there,

Finally I decided to create a nail polish blog, since I'm just obsessed with it lately and I can't see how it will fit my other blogs. Besides, this hobby deserves it's own blog :)

I'll try to keep it simple and nails related only. I tend to do a mesh from all my hobbies at one place, but I really hope that this blog will serve me for my nail addictions.

I guess you can say I'm kind of a new addict, but I can tell you guys - I'm in it deep! I'm just obsessed with all nail related stuff. I spend lots of time on ebay searching for new polishes to buy, buying some new for my collection each time I visit the local drugstore. just bought the Bundle Monster stamping plates and it goes on and on... What can I say? I'm obsesses and I LOVE it! 

Just so you know, where I live (Israel) - getting the popular brands such as OPI, Essie, China Glaze, Zoya, Nubar and so on, is also an impossible mission. Most of the brands are not even sold out here, and these which are - cost about $14. That's outrageous :X So that's why I buy my polishes on ebay or elsewhere.

So far, most of my nail polish collection includes the local Israeli brands such as GA-DE, Chic, Life and some nail polishes that I bought from US such as China Glaze, Nubar and a pair of Catherine Arley holographic from Bulgaria. I guess I will post some photos of my collection later on this blog, but for now you can take a peek at my current nail polish - it's a gorgeous fuchsia with some bright purple shine. I just adore it!

I'll be sure to update the blog every now and then with new swatches and new additions to the collection, some inspirations and nail art I love and inspired by <3

Hope you'll enjoy this blog.

xoxo
Natalie
