NOTD: SUZI LOVES COWBOYS

I was at a friend's house last night & out of nowhere I felt like doin my nails... I just remembered about the brown lunch bag that's been in my purse for a few days now.... I got me a couple of OPI nail polishes that I completely forgot about... since I don't ever get the chance to do my nails anymore, I decided now is the time since we were just chillin, drinking wine, brandy & Red Horse... I know right?!? beer, wine & brandy??!?!!

anyhoo, this is my NOTD:

O.P.I. Suzi Loves Cowboys

(from the O.P.I. Texas Collection)

PRODUCTS USED:

O.P.I. Suzi Loves Cowboys

Revlon No Chip Top Coat 

this is how it looks like with 3 coats of Suzi Loves Cowboys no base / top coat 

you can see all the ridges on my nails...

here's what it looks like with 4 coats of the nail polish (to cover the nicks & marks from last night.. =D) & top coat...

Suzi Loves Cowboy looks like a delicious melted chocolate brown.. in the pictures it looks yummy but not so much on the nails.. they look more like dark chocolate... as much as I love dark chocolate, I don't like it on my nails... this & Don't Mess With OPI are the only two shades from the Texas collection that caught my eye... but I didn't get Don't Mess With OPI coz I think it might be identical to Jade is the New Black which I already have.... if you have both, please let me know...

can you guess the other nail polish I got?? 

tadaaaa!!

MY PRIVATE JET!

it looks like the galaxy... it's sooo purddyyyy

I actually used this to paint my toe nails & I like it! can't wait to try it on my finger nails....

I heard it's really hard to get a hold of but I got lucky there's a beauty store in my area that took my order & got it for me... 

I heard there are two versions of My Private Jet.... did I get the original version or the we-can't-make-anymore-of-the-original-but-it's-too-in-demand-that-we-should-make-a-different-version-and-sell-it-like-it's-the-same version??? LOL

NOTW: WHY NOT

the weather has been weird for the past few weeks... it would be sunny one day then it would rain the next... or it would be hella cold in the morning but come noon it would be hella hot... or it would just sprinkle out of nowhere.... but it's been nice & sunny these past couple of days.... so this is my {sings} "I can see clearly now the rain is gone...." nail color... =)

NOTW: ST. PATRICK'S NAIL #5

this is supposed to be the last nail color of my St. Patrick's Day nail series but I got really busy on Thursday & totally forgot to post it...

so for my St. Patty's nail #5

GREEN OCEAN

on

LIQUID LEATHER

PRODUCT BREAKDOWN:

Nail Magic Nail Hardener (base coat)

China Glaze Liquid Leather (base color)

Sinful Colors Green Ocean 

Nailene Acrylic Strong (top coat)

3 coats of Liquid Leather

2 coats of Green Ocean

I think two coats was a little bit too much, in my opinion... I shoulda settled for one but I got curious as to how it would look like... I guess it's ok but it's a little bit overkill on the flakies no?

some more crappy pictures... why can't I take a clearer more focused pictures like them other nail bloggers??? I'm so jealous! someone need to show me how dammit!! LOL

now that I got the greens out of the way I can finally move on to the funner Spring colors!! yay!!

hmmm... which color to do next???

I'm glad this whole St. Patty's Day NOTDs is almost over coz I'm getting sick of wearing green polish everyday... if I have to wear another green polish in the next few days, I might vomit!! LOL.... so I think Imma change it up a bit... can you all guess what I'm gonna use for the last day of the St. Patrick's Day NOTD??
