Tonight finally getting around to posting some polish pics. I took a couple photos of swatchs for the OPI Euro collection just need to edit and then add polish names. I did five samples one on each nail, so want to put the color name next to each nail first before I post photos. Love the new colors and have to say OPI has become my favorite as of recent.
Tonight I have Layla soft effects 09 which is a gorgeous turquoise blue green. Actually is more green then photos show. Tried lots of different angles and lighting none showed the true beauty of this color. It dries kind of matte but not fully matte. Top coat made it shine instantly:).
I know the soft effect is suppose to look matte but my daughter used this color a few nights ago and we liked it much better with top coat:). I applied a coat of Butter London nail foundation then two coats of the Layla polish. The brush is thick and the polish also is a little thick, one coat could work if in a hurry but I like two.
I made a big mess tonight and tried to clean up any polish I had on cuticles before photos but honestly exhausted from a long week, sorry for any mess I will post more photos tomorrow because I also want to try day light to see if I can get closer to the true color:). I finished with Out The Door quick dry too coat. On my accent finger I used Nicole by OPI Selena Gomez line, Sweet Dreams. Wanted something playful and have been living painting one nail with glitter or different color recently:).
Let me know what you think of the color and polish:). Love to hear feed back. Hope everyone is having a great weekend, I am having a relaxing and peaceful weekend. Beach tomorrow can't wait. Have some more photos of the euro collection and some fashion stuff coming. Also a blog I have been working on for a few days so stay tuned.

Massive Nail Haul
Today I picked up a couple polishes for myself and got a bunch of OPI colors I have wanted from a good friend of mine who does nails and has a salon up north. She sent me a few awhile back but today was shocked to see how many she sent and all colors on my wish list:).
Pictures aren't the greatest cause it is sunny and my hubby worked all night so can't take photos in my room with the lights on:(. Will post more photos and names of polishes later:). I grabbed a Layla soft effect damaged bottle on sale to try. Giving Layla on last shot three strikes then I'm done lol. Got a Sally Hansen coral reef love my coral colors, then grabbed Nicole by OPI Modern Family colors and a Selena Gomez color and a refill of China Glaze Flip flop fantasy for summer, my favorite summer shade it looks amazing with a tan.
Waiting for some new collections to land here haven't really seen anything new lately except the China Glaze Tranzitions and Butter London had a few pastel colors I saw at Ulta wasn't sure if they were brand new but never noticed them. Anyhow will repost more photos later when hubby wakes up:).
Update on colors: OPI; Miami Beet, Lincoln Park After Dark (an old favorite I ran out of yay), Ink, Russian Navy, Teal the Cows come home, Honk if You Love OPI and Skip the gift wrap. OPI DS collection I got Reserve and Magic (can't wait to try this one)!
Nicole by OPI Modern Family I got Haley Good Lookin and Candid Cameron. Then from the Selena Gonez line grabbed Sweet Dreams. Layla Soft Effects 09 teal blue very pretty colorant Sally Hansen Coral Reef loving coral right now and turquoise/teal. Then like I mentioned before China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy:). Adding some better photos and will be swatching some tonight.
