OPI Not Like The Movies & Konad M70

I ordered myself the OPI Katy Perry Collection Mini pack. The full sized ones are all sold out. Well, it's cheaper to get the minis and I don't find it hard to apply at all. I always thought that it will be really hard to apply with mini brushes as it won't be able to hold enough lacquer for 1 nail. I was wrong about it. It applied well!

This is 3 coats of OPI Not Like The Movies. I don't have anything which is similar to this one in my collection.

It actually has a purple glimmer to it but my camera couldn't capture that. I'm not sure why but I guess that the green glimmer is much stronger. Also it's a shimmer with minimal micro glitter - if that makes sense.

I wouldn't say I like this colour but it's something different.

I felt bored with this nail colour after a day. It was a little too light for my liking so I added one of the designs from Konad M70 plate. I used Konad White Special Polish for stamping. I think it looks so much better now.

The purple glimmer somehow appeared in the pictures below! Finally!

Elianto Aqua, China Glaze Frosty & China Glaze Crackle Lightning Bolt

The crackle polishes from China Glaze has just arrived. I can't wait to try them on.

I picked CG Crackle Lightning Bolt aka white crackle today as I wanted to try out how it would look like on my current polished nails.

I should have applied a thicker coat to achieve a much nicer crackle-d look. I only applied a thin layer this time around. It looks ok without a top coat.

Elianto Aqua & China Glaze Frosty

Still in the frosted phase, I tried out Elianto Aqua & China Glaze Frosty today. It looks really good - to me anyways. Very suitable for winter. It looks like my nails are full of micro snow flakes! I can't stop looking at it!

I applied 2 coats of Elianto Aqua and top it of with 1 layer of China Glaze Frosty.

OPI Flashbulb Fuschia & OPI Princesses Rule!

I'm trying out this combination today. It's actually not too bad! I think I might be getting more sheer micro glitter polishes to jazz up some of the nail colours that I have.

OPI Princesses Rule! is very sheer on it's own so I tried layering it on top of OPI Flashbulb Fuschia. Both need quite some time to dry up. Application was really easy.

OPI Royal Rajah Ruby

I had a bigger bottle of this before but my sister broke it. :(

Oh well, I got a mini sized one and surprisingly it's not as hard to apply as I thought it would. This is 2 coats with no top coat - yet as I wanted to take a picture first.

Zoya Crystal

Zoya Crystal is a really special colour. It's blue with gold flecks. I am so in love with gold flecks. Not so much gold glitter though.

These are 3 coats due to it being a little sheer. I hope this polish will last awhile for my trip next week, that way I won't need to get a manicure done overseas as it's too much of a hassle to bring all my manicure tools (polish remover, top coat, base coat, cotton pad & nail colour).
