NOTD: Color Blocking!

 (L-R) Sephora by OPI - I'm Wired, Revlon - Bubble (220) & Sephora by OPI - Hi-Def

 The color blocking trend has been spotted all over the runways, magazines and all over the blogsphere. For those of you who do not know color blocking is the combination of two or more colors blocked in an outfit/ensemble. The trend is definitely not for the faint of heart. It demands attention with the clashing of bright-in-your-face colors.

For those who want to embrace the trend without standing out, color blocked nails is a perfect solution. Or for the girls who are like me who want to stand out even more, adding color blocked nails to a color blocked outfit is a head-turner.

For my nails I used an Orange polish, Hot Pink polish and separated the two with a Coral line for division. 

The versatility of this design is great, the color combinations are endless. I chose to to do one statement nail but you can always go all out with all your fingers and maybe even toes if you're a wild one.

What color combinations do you ladies have in mind? Are you embracing the full color blocking trend? Let me know in the comments :)

You make me feel like i'm living a teenage a dream...

Katy Perry & OPI Collaboration

OPI has been collaborating with celebrities quite often these days: Justin Bieber, Serena Williams, and now Katy Perry. The collection consists of 5 polishes. I picked up one of the five. One being 'Teenage Dream" and have the hopes of picking up black shatter, another polish from the line.

Teenage Dream

Teenage dream is transparent cotton candy pink packed with multicolored glitter. The glitter comes in large, small, and medium chunks.. no discrimination here. It is the epitome of all things girly. Something Barbie or Hello Kitty would have on their nails.

excuse the cuticles, I live where heat doesn't exist.

The polish applies really easily, and goes opaque in about 2 coats. Once dried the glitters are definitely big enough to feel them on your nails. Think the texture of sandpaper, but not too harsh.  

Am I the only one who plays retro video games?

I can't stop looking at my nails as I type, its going to take some elbow grease to remove this polish. Glitter polishes are notorious for difficult removal.  But this is well worth the challenge.

Tip: Try taking it off with a piece of felt soaked in polish remover.

I have a hunch this polish may sell out just like Mad as a Hatter from OPI-Alice in Wonderland Collection.

Let me know if you guys pick up anything from this collection or any other polishes!
