OPI - SKI TEAL WE DROP and CAJUN SHRIMP
These 2 colours are absolutely gorgeous alone and together! I am a big fan of the colour combination of navy and coral for spring time!!! Ski teal we drop is a creamy rich blue colour, and goes on like a dream!!! The brush is wide which makes application really easy!! The same goes for Cajun shrimp, a lovely rich creamy colour with easy application!!! I recommend these colours to anyone and everyone!! Definitely worth checking then out!! :)
OPI - You’re A Doll
This is one of the strangest colours I have seen in a while. It is a sparkly pale pink, with a hint of a blue reflex in it. You’re a Doll also has speckles of red in it, which gives it a really cool texture. Now even though this colour, seems like its has a lot of things going on in it, its actually still quite neutral. For me its the perfect baby pink colour. The formulation is also quite nice. A little on the thin side, but is opaque after 3 coats. The brush also helps with the nice, easy application. It is wide, and flat, and pretty much covers my entire nail in one stroke. Unfortunately this colour has been either discontinued or retired, but it is not being sold in stores.

Glitter or not gitter?
As much as I love glitter once in a while, I would much prefer to wear simple flat colours.
When do you change your nail polish?
I change my nail polish every 3-4 days.
Darks or Brights?
I usually wear more dark neutral colours, just because they tend to go with more things.
What are you currently wearing?
I am currently wearing China Glazes Re-Fresh Mint (surprise surprise :P)
Matte nails - in or out?
In! I love putting on a glitter/shimmery nail polish, and topping it off with a matte top coat.
French Manicure - yes or no?
I have never been a big fan of french manicures, and don’t think I ever will. Just to plain and boring for me.

What is your favourite spring colour?
I was looking through my nail polishes, and realized that I really don’t have anything like OPI’s cajun shrimp! While most my collection are cool-toned, neutrals, this is a bright vibrant colour. After a long winter, wearing dark murky colours, you definitely need a pop colour to liven up your look, and Cajun Shrimp is perfect for that! Both the colour and formulation are perfect, and dries really quickly (even without my Sally Hansen Insta-Dry top coat). Definitely a colour to check out! :)

What is your favourite fall colour?
*China Glazes Ingrid, OPI’s Ski Teal We Drop*
These two colours are lovely for the crisp, cooler months of fall, when you want something a little darker. OPI’s Ski Teal We Drop is a rich, creamy, dark blue from the Switzerland collection. Both the colour pay-off, and the formulation are wonderful (opaque after only 1 coat). Definitely a colour to check out!
China Glazes Ingrid, is warm, creamy brown colour, with a little bit of a gold shimmer. The gold shimmer, while not being over-powering, is the perfect amount of pazzaz.

What is your favourite summer colour?
China Glaze - Re-Fresh Mint
Re-Fresh Mint is one of my all time favourite colours! If I don’t know what to wear, I will most likely reach for this colour! It is the perfect light summery mint green colour, and looks great if you have a tan, or you are as pale as the moon (which makes it great for me in the dead of winter). As you can see I have very pale skin, and this colour kind of illuminates it (but in a good way). The formula can be a tad tricky to work with (I am wearing 2 coats). It can be a little gloppy, so using thiner coats might be a better idea. The off formula can definitely be looked over, because the colour is gorgeous!! :)

What is your favourite Winter colour?
OPI - Here Today Aragon Tomorrow - This is a very dark green colour, which can sometimes look almost black. This is my most reached for colour during the winter months (and sometimes during the summer). This colour can sometimes be hard to work with, but the colour payoff is wonderful!!
Essie - Bordeaux - Bordeaux is a lovely rich red wine colour. I actually just bought this colour a couple weeks ago. But it will be a gorgeous colour to pull out during the holiday season!!
Sally Hansen - Yellow Kitty
Yellow Kitty is a nice pale yellow colour perfect for spring, and summer! When there isn’t a lot of lighting the colour does tend to look more mustardy, but looks lovely in the sun. The unfortunate thing is that you need multiple coats to get the colour in the bottle. I am wearing 3 coats, but I realized after I put my top coat on that I could have used a 4th or possibly even a 5th.
I have been on the hunt for a nice pastel yellow colour, and really had my eye on Revlon’s Buttercup, but sadly it is only out in the states right now :( I heard Buttercup is very opaque even after 1 coat (and for a yellow pastel colour is amazing!!) So is it worth it to spend the time using all those coats for this colour?? I think so, the colour is really pretty and dries fairly quickly. I’m hoping because it takes a lot of coats I will go through this bottle pretty quickly and by the time I am done Revlon’s Buttercup will have made its way to Canada :)
