OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender

From the OPI Hong Kong Collection, Lucky Lucky Lavender is a beautiful pink creme with a touch of lavender...this was not one of the colors I originally bought when this collection  first hit the scene back in the Spring. However, my BFF had it on one day and it looked so gorgeous on her brown skin, I just had to have it! The color really just pops and in certain light it really does look like a soft lavender...gorgeous! Definitely my new fav from the Hong Kong Collection...

OPI Rumple's Wiggin

The most gorgeous Lilac cream! I ADORE anything lilac and I don't care if I have a gazillion lilac polishes that are close in color, I will buy almost anything that is lilac. This shade is so gorgeous, it reminds me of China Glaze 'Light As Air'...BEAUTIFUL!! Typical OPI creme formula this pretty baby was opaque in two coats...

OPI 'Who the Shrek are You'

This has to be my fav from OPI's Shrek Collection, which was released this past spring. I adore greens and I've had my eye on this baby during my no buy. It was so hard to stay strong when I saw this lovely shade of green...

Who the Shrek Are You

Typical OPI creme formula, this was opaque in two coats. Such a gorgeous shade of lime green with a touch of brown.  OPI really nailed this color, it really is the color of Shrek! A color I would have never imagined would look good on my nails! LOL! But I'm absolutely in L-O-V-E!! I've been wearing it for the last two weeks (off and on of course).

The PolishFreak Lookbook Series: I LOVE ROMPERS!!

This look was inspired by my new found obsession with rompers! It features OPI Dim Sum Plum, from the Hong Kong Collection...

The PolishFreak LookBook Series

Featuring OPI 'You Don't Know Jacques'

I Can't get enough of this color, I have mentioned before it is a staple in my polish collection, meaning it will be in my collection for as long as it exists and I can get my hands on it! So here I've created a color palette that allows you to transition this color from winter to spring/summer....

And You Don't Know...Ft. OPI You Don't Know Jacques by PolishFreak 

The PolishFreak LookBook Series...

A new series I have been working on for this blog combines my obsession with nail polish with my love for fashion...I'm going to be ambitious here and say that once a week I will be posting looks that I have created with the help of Polyvore.com. All these looks will be inspired by popular colors of the season and will incorporate different looks for different styles (i.e. rocker chic, bohemian chic, classic, vintage, etc.) So if you have any suggestions on polish colors you would like to see incorporated into a certain look just send me an email at polishfreak1@gmail.com and I'll create a look. The looks that I create here will be suggestions for color coordination and styling suggestions for polish colors. I hope you guys enjoy this series, feel free to leave any comments, suggestions or feedback...thanks!

So this is the first look that I have created. My inspiration for this look was OPI Jade is the New Black, which I posted some time ago... The look I created is a combination of Classic Chic with a Rocker Chic edge. The leather jacket and platform pumps provide an elegant edge to this glam one shoulder dress by Diane Von Furstenburg. This color is such a stunner it can stand alone OR it should be worn with colors it won't clash with. It looks gorgeous against black, purple, blue and grey, which I was able to incorpate all these colors...So what do you think of this look?

OPI Jade is the New Black

So I've been really into greens lately and I believe this color is the reason why. I swatched this color a few weeks ago and since then I've been buying green polishes like crazy!! But none have lived up to this shade yet...I'm so in love with this pretty shade of green, just take a look for yourself...

 

  

One word comes to mind, CHIC! Sometimes green nail polish can seem less than sophisticated. But OPI hit the nail on the head with this one. This color evokes sophistication and confidence! This is such an awesome shade of green because it will look great year round. It has subtle undertones of yellow which makes it a shade somewhere between forest green and teal. Love it!! Like most OPI cremes it applies easily and is opaque in two coats.

Sidenote: Sorry I haven't been posting as frequently lately, school has been kicking my ass this semester! But spring break is coming up and I will be a posting monster that week!! Can't wait to graduate in May so I can focus on things that I want and love to do, in my free time! Also I have been working on a new angle for this blog, as I love nail polish and fashion so I have something in store that I think you're going to love! Stay tuned for that...

OPI HONG KONG...Hot & Spicy!!!! OOOOWWWWWW!!!!!

So continuing on with the OPI Hong Kong Collection, this is Hot & Spicy...

 

  

 

I really like this orangey-coral color. It's bright but still kind of soft at the same time. Unlike with Essie's Tart Deco, another bright orangey-coral color, I was pleasantly surprised. You guys know how I felt about Tart Deco. It was just something about it that I couldn't quite put my finger on at the time. But I realize now, what I didn't like about it was the color was just too bright for my skin tone. In my opinion, brown skin looks great with warm toned colors. They can still be bright but it has to have a level of warmth to it. Hot & Spicy manages to hit both notes. It's bright and fun, yet still has a softness to it. LOVE...

OPI Hong Kong....Dim Sum Plum

Here's another from the OPI Hong Kong Collection, Dim Sum Plum...I wouldn't necessarily describe this as a plum, but it is a gorgeous shade of pink/magenta...

 

 

Remaining true to OPI's winning formula, this is a lovely creme that applied opaque in two coats...I really love this shade, after exploring other swatches on different skin tones, I feel that this color is a universal shade. In my opinion, it's one of those shades that compliments all skin tones.

OPI Hong KONG...Suzi Says Feng Shui

I'm beginning to fall in love with blues and this is why...

Ahhh! The most gorgeous shade of blue!! Opaque in two coats, typical OPI creme formula....I really can't wait til summer, I'm so sick of the cold weather. Plus I can't wait to rock this color on my toes this summer!!

Wait...It's Still Winter Right??

Just checking, because in the polish world Spring is certainly in the air with the launch of collections like Essie's The Art of Spring and China Glaze's Up & Away...But it's not spring quite yet, so dark, vampy colors are still in, YES!! So I was digging through my collection when I noticed that Essie's Wicked and OPI's We'll Always Have Paris are very similar, so I decided to do a comparison....

Essie Wicked

OPI We'll Always Have Paris

So as you can see, two very similar colors. Both a dark, rich shade of red. "Wicked" is a very dark, almost black, red while "We'll Always Have Paris" is a dark red (slightly lighter than "Wicked"), that has visible undertones of pink. Both colors were easy to apply and opaque in two coats. Wicked was a little streaky at two coats, most likely my error, so I applied a third coat to even it out a bit. So when you do vampy do you go for reds, purples, browns??
