Throwback Thursday: The Original OPI My Private Jet

Hi everyone!  I'm a little behind on swatching, but it's been so long since I've done a Throwback Thursday post that I'm going to play "hookie" and do one anyway.  I love wearing my oldies.

OPI's My Private Jet is a favorite among collectors and if we were going to do a history of polish it would definitely be more than a foot note.  It originally made it's debut as a part of the OPI Night Brights collection released in 2007.  It was a charcoal holo and it's funny to think about it now how rare black holos were when there are tons of them around now.  Anyways, all of a sudden people were finding My Private Jets that looked very different from the original.  The newer one was more brown, but holo was scattered and not really there and some even had a blue flash.  I don't know what OPI was thinking, but the color of My Private Jet has changed at least 3 times.  The polish is now core and I'm not even sure what it looks like now.  I'm just glad I was able to get an original!

And without further ado, the original My Private.  This is 3 coats.

Do you have My Private Jet?  What reformulated polish do you wish they'd change back?

Cirque Colors Metropolis Collection for June 2015

Press Sample

Hi everyone! Today I have another addition to Cirque Color's Metropolis Collection (a collection inspired by the city of New York). This month, two colors are being added: Golightly and Nolita Lolita.  Cirque Colors is taking a two month hiatus (July and August) from the Metropolis Collection, but will resume in September.

Golightly is described as a Tiffany blue.  This one seems a bit more on the blue and darker side than I used to seeing Tiffany blue be, but still lovely.  No formula issues on this one.

This is 2 coats.

Nolita Lolita is a bright pink cream.  The formula was pretty good, but I did have some patchiness on the second coat and had to do a third.

This is 3 coats.

Overall, you can't really go wrong with these!  Golightly and Nolita Lolita are available now on the Cirque Colors website.  Make sure you check Cirque Colors out at these places for more information!

Twinsie Tuesday - Inspired by a Song

Hi everyone! Today's Twinsie Tuesday post  is all about being inspired by a song.  I was going to attempt some nail art but wasn't feeling very inspired so I cheated a little and just used a polish inspired by a song.

For this I used Deborah Lippmann Glitter in the Air (inspired by P!nk's song of the same name) layered over Rescue Beauty Lounge Bikini Bottom.  I'm pretty sure I posted this look before, but that several years ago.  I love the combo, so I think it's worth posting about again.

This one coat Glitter in the Air over 2 coats Bikini Bottom.

And for your viewing pleasure, P!nk Glitter in the Air:

Make sure you check out the other Twinsies to see what they've come up with!
