What Nail Polish Are You Wearing?

October 19th, 2010 by Karen 67 Comments

estee lauder extravagant night swatch

I’m wearing Estee Lauder Nail Lacquer in Extravagant Night ($18), a dark plum with gold, pink and purple glitter. It’s one of two nail lacquers in the Estee Lauder holiday 2010 collection available for pre-order online.

Extravagant Night feels very holiday to me, and I really like the multi-colored sparkles. The formula’s thick, though, and it takes forever and a day to dry, grr.

Anywho, watchu got on your paws on this lovely Tuesday?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I’m rockin one of OPI’s new fall colors, William Tell Me About OPI (it’s just a hint more purply than Lincoln PArk After Dark). Though ever since you wrote about the China Glaze color that had the green, red and gold glitter in it, I can’t wait to get that one next!

    I am too tired to paint my nails tonight, but tomorrow morning they will be Models Own ‘Grace Green’ My boots finally got it in stock! 😀

    Speaking of new stock, I got hold of a couple of Barry M’s 313, which is meant to be an amazing dupe of Paradoxal. I would love to send you my spare, either for review/comparison or to give away, depending on how you feel! I could potentially even get a couple more/their new black crackle if you’re interested. Drop me an email 🙂

    I’ve got super weak nails, so I’ve just got some lame-o clear Sally Hansen strengthening polish stuff on them.

    They are pleasantly shiny at least.

    Tips: Sally Hansen Black Out, OPI DS Mystery, OPI Cuckoo for this Color, OPI Significant Other Color, Pa glitter-infused topcoat. All at the same time on each nail. I did this “space nails” tutorial: http://www.nailsbyasami.com/2010/08/space-nails.html and I can’t stop staring at my hands.

    Toes: OPI Cuckoo for this color. Quite boring compared to my tips.
