31DC - Day 31: Recreate Someone Else's Manicure

The final day in the 31 day challenge and the theme is to recreate someone else's manicure from earlier in the challenge. I decided to recreate Peace, Love, and Polish's day 4 manicure (original post here) to kick off things for Valentines day! I used Cotton Candy and Terracotta by Orly to create this look.

Peace & Love,

Darling Diva Polish - Flirt Swatches & Review

Good afternoon everyone! This post is well delayed, and my apologies for that, but exams have been kicking my butt the past week but they are finally over! Today I have the third Darling Diva Polish to show you today called Flirt. Flirt is a soft green soft linear holo polish with green iridescent glitters. Below is 3 very this coats of Flirt on its own, but it can be opaque in only two. The first set of pictures is in a more shaded area to show off the green iridescent glitters, and the second set of photo's really show off the holo.

 In the light:

I love the concept of this polish just as the others, but I personally think it washes me out. It truly is beautiful however and the green iridescent glitters glisten like nobody's business! It applies very evenly and smoothly (I do recommend waiting a bit in between coats). This dried quickly also!

 Darling Diva Polishes costs between $8-$12 and can be purchased from her etsy shop found here. Don't forget to check out her Facebook fanpage found here also for sneak peeks, updates, and deals!

Peace & Love,

Nicole by OPI Modern Family Press Release

Nicole by OPI and Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products Announce Collaboration with Hit ABC Comedy Modern Family

Nicole by OPI, in partnership with Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products, launches 14 new nail lacquers inspired by ABC’s award-winning comedy, Modern Family.  The nail line features shades created to capture the show’s colorful personalities, from a classic taupe named after family patriarch Jay, to a sparkly pink hue fitting for toddler Lily.

 “Modern Family is not only one of the funniest shows on television, it features a great ensemble cast of rich characters that inspired a range of shades, from pastel hues like sea foam green and periwinkle to brighter colors of cobalt and red-violet,” remarks Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, Nicole by OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director.  “From studious Alex to bombshell Gloria, to classic (and neurotic) Claire, to flirty Haley, there are shades to represent each of these uniquely fabulous women – and everyone else in the blended family.

 “The Nicole consumer embraces the same spirit of diversity and individuality that’s apparent on the show,” explains Weiss-Fischmann. “The colors inspired by Modern Family offer a perfect way to express that spirit!”

Jeffrey Godsick, President of Fox Consumer Products added, “Modern Family is a series that has a massive following.  In partnering with Nicole by OPI, we’re not only able to reach our show’s large fan base, but deliver a product that captures the trend-forward elements and unique characteristics of the series.
