OPI Jinx

My laptop mouse died for good last weekend and using nothing but the scroll pad has made it difficult to do much of anything, especially post. Thankfully I bought a new one so I am back. I have quite a few posts that have been sitting in my drafts for a while and today I am finally publishing one of them. Here is OPI Jinx which I believe I wore back in August.


Jinx is a coral/red/orange with a golden shimmer running throughout. It's absolutely gorgeous and bold. It truly was a perfect color for summer. I honestly had a hard time not staring at my nails while wearing it. I really should have thought to put on top coat to see that shimmer come to life.

Jinx applied effortlessly on the nail without a single problem. I just needed two coats. I had almost no clean up either which I loved.


If you love textured polishes, Jinx is a must have! It's now a favorite of mine along with Zoya Carter.

OPI Tiffany Case

I'm so happy it's the weekend! We had inventory this week at work, so it was busy. I'm definitely going to enjoy my days off. Yesterday, I wanted to wear a polish that was easy to apply, fast drying, and pretty much hassle free. I ended up choosing OPI Tiffany Case.


Tiffany Case is a Liquid Sand from the Bond Girls collection earlier this year. It's an icy, metallic blue, with small silver glitters. I really like it, it's quite pretty. It's gorgeous in the shade but in the sun, it's so sparkly! The formula had to be the best part. It was so easy to apply. What I'm wearing in pictures is just one coat! Unfortunately, I've read other reviews that say it stains and I'm not looking forward to that. I hope it's not too bad.



Despite the possibility of it staining, I'm really happy with Tiffany Case! It's a gorgeous color and it's super easy to apply. What more can you ask for? I have one more Liquid Sand that I haven't worn but should soon. There's a few others I have on my wishlist.

OPI The Impossible

Today I have the second OPI Liquid Sand polish that I got. It is The Impossible, the bright, reddish pink from the Mariah Carey collection.


I loved OPI Stay The Night, the other beautiful Liquid Sand that I got, and I love this one too! I never really gravitate toward a reds or pinks in a collection but this one is so pretty. It's bright, sparkly, and I find the color very flattering. It's a juicy pinky red with small hexagon glitter and there's also beautiful purple shimmer that can be seen in the bottle. It also has cute stars in the mix but they're hard to get on the nail. As you can see, I didn't get a single one, but regardless, I still like the polish. I can see myself wearing it during the summer. This is three coats.



I've been completely won over by the Liquid Sand polishes. I'm really glad I took the chance on them. I'm definitely going to be getting What's Your Number? and a few from the Bond Girls collection as well.

OPI Stay The Night

I must admit, I wasn't completely convinced by the liquid sand/textured polish craze that has been taking over. I saw swatches of different collections featuring the new trend and I was neutral about it. Still, I wanted try it to see for myself. To test the waters, I chose two OPI Liquid Sand polishes and after a quick swatch on my nails, I fell in love! Today I'm showing you my first pick, OPI Stay The Night.


Stay The Night is a black matted base with red glitter. Being a Liquid Sand, it's grainy and it sparkles like sand. I've seen this one described as looking like molten lava and I must say that is pretty accurate. It's super pretty to look at. The texture isn't nearly rough as I thought it would be. I actually like it. The most surprising thing about this polish? Removal is SO easy and hassle free! I expected it to be a pain but I was so wrong. It didn't involve any elbow grease and it removed so much easier than a glitter. I needed three coats. It dried faster than some polishes I have used but it took a good while until it was completely hardened.



It's settled, I'm in love with Liquid Sand! I'm so glad I gave it a chance. Stay The Night is one that I recommend. I can't wait to show you the other one I got in my next post. In the mean time, I'm hoping to get my hands on even more colors!
