OPI This Gown Needs a Crown

Happy weekend, friends! Hope you're all having a wonderful one! I'm enjoying my long weekend. One of my plans is to catch up on sleep, but I'm so excited to have time off from work that I've been waking up hours earlier than I wanted to each day haha.

Today, I've got the last of the OPI Miss Universe 2013 trio to share with you. This Gown Needs a Crown is a light shimmery silver that dries to a satiny matte foil finish.

The bottles come with a little crown trinket wrapped around the neck, which is quite cute. :-) This is a very pretty and festive silver, not too soft or too harsh, just a very flattering shade. The application is smooth and easy. The first coat is a little sparse with the shimmers, but it builds up nicely with subsequent coats. I ended up doing three coats for the swatches, but if I were wearing this instead of taking close macro shots, I'd probably stop at two.

You can find This Gown Needs a Crown at your local nail salons and beauty stores such as Ulta and Dillard's for a retail price of $9 for 0.5 fl oz.

OPI Miss You-niverse

Hi, you guys! I love Thursdays because it means the week is starting to wind down. Today is extra awesome because it's the last day of the work week for me. The hubby and I are taking Friday and Monday off to make it a long weekend, and I just cannot wait. I'm always ready for some days off from work hehe. :-)

Today, I've got another color from the OPI Miss Universe 2013 trio to share with you. Miss You-niverse is a dark, almost black, eggplant purple with a creme finish.

The darkness of this polish surprised me. I thought more of the purple would come through, but it really is mostly black on the nails. The camera even had a little bit of trouble picking up the purple color in there. The formula is smooth and easy to apply. It's also really pigmented, so I did just one coat for the swatches and it's pretty much totally opaque at that.

OPI I'm Feeling Sashy

Hi, you guys! Hope it's a good week for you so far! :-)

OPI has released their Miss Universe 2013 Collection, a trio of polishes inspired by the women in this year's Miss Universe competition, and I've got the set to show you. Starting off today is I'm Feeling Sashy, a medium muted mauve purple with a creme finish.

It's an interesting purple and unique to my collection. :-) I had no trouble at all with application. The formula is typical OPI creme, smooth and even. Each coat flows onto the nails like butter, with enough control for good precision. It has good color payoff, so I needed just the two standard coats for total coverage. And it dries to a nice glossy shine.
