Sally Hansen Diamond Strength in Something Blue

The wear is actually pretty good, I use my Nailtek Foundation II as a base and usually Poshe as my top coat and even with working everyday I can get a good 5 days with no chipping at all.
There are a few other shades in the new line that I would like to try, although I was disappointed that they brought back majority of the shades in the new bottles with only a few new ones. A lot of those colors are just so common that I would have liked to see them replaced with something with a little more oomph. If we're gonna redesign and reformulate then why not?
I picked my bottle up at Walgreens for $5.99 and a BOGO50% sale. Have you tried the new formula yet?

Nicole By OPI Justin Bieber Collection
This post is gonna be a little bit pic heavy, just a warning. Please ignore any photos with lines, blogger is just not cooperating lately (grrrr).
Today I have the Justin Bieber collection from Nicole by OPI. I don't know how all of you feel about the Biebs but I have no beef with him. I'm really impressed with this collection and with the exception of one polish these were absolutely amazing to apply, like buttah. If you don't believe me check out how clean my gap is in these pictures (usually ;) ) something I can't quite achieve unless the polish has a nice application. It once again has the Perfect Stroke brush I've been telling you about again and again. And these colors? Gorgeous.
One Less Lonely Glitter- I love the name on this one, adorable. This is purple glitter both bit and small in a clear base. On the first coat I highly doubted it would become this opaque but this is 3 coats, not bad. This will be an awesome layering polish. The application on this one was impressive, I have gotten used to my glitters being difficult and thick.
How pretty is OLLG?
Me + Blue- I'ma tell you one time, I love this polish. If you haven't noticed by now if you throw glitter in anything I will basically fall in love with it. Me + Blue is no exception. Very true blue with holographic glitter strewn throughout. Love. It. 2 coats.
Just thought I would zoom right in on that for ya ;)
OMB- Oh. My. Bieber. Is that glass flecks I see? Oh, snap; it's love. I think I may be starting to love reds- the world must be coming to an end.
Give Me the 1st Dance- Beautiful silver foil, this was the one I was a little disappointed in only because I've seen these so many times before. This is nice and shiny though and wasn't overly runny like some metallics. This is 3 coats.
Are you ready for this next one? Because it's my perfect polish...
My Lifesaver- Robins Egg Blue. Think China Glaze For Audrey but a little lighter. The one thing about My Lifesaver better is that the application was flawless and need only 2 coats where with For Audrey I need 3.
For Audrey, My Lifesaver, For Audrey, My Lifesaver
Prized Possession Purple- This was the one I had some trouble with. It was a little on the runny side and the color is a little frosty. The color is nice though- purple with a slight blue shift. 3 coats.
Step 2 the Beat of My <3- This is over Prized Possession Purple. This is pink, lavender and white iridescent hearts suspended in clear glitter with very sparse iridescent glitter. This polish is simply cute.
Do you see what I mean about iridescent?

Milani Liquid Metal Intense Color- Gorgeous swatches!
When I spotted these babies in CVS my eyes lite up like crazy. The sun hit them so beautifully I couldn't help myself! Milani has really been impressing me lately with these gorgeous collections and I hope they don't stop anytime soon. I'll bring on the swatches...
This is my favorite of the group, gorgeous shimmy shiny bright orange. This is hot like the sun! Seriously. I painted my moms toes with this and the way this looks in sunlight is unlike any other polish I have. Serious reflective shimmeriness you MUST own! Plus, I like the name. I'm a nerd but I LOVE the Metal Gear games :D
Melt in the Sun is a pretty bronze/gold shade. I like this one but I think it makes my skin look to pink. This has the same awesome reflective quality as Metal Gear but the color doesn't have quite the same intensity. I bet this would look delicious on a gal with a tan or darker skin tone that I have. Alas, bronze/gold/brown just do not work out for me :(
Hot Metal is a disappointment for me. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, I don't usually like these shades of pink/purple. This one has a blue chrome/shimmer to it and depending on the way the light hits changes like crazy...at least in bottle. It loses a little of that quality on the nail but you can still see the shimmer on this. I would say this is the odd one out, it's a little darker and flashes a different color shimmer unlike the rest.
Mmm, Molten Rock...you are gorgeous! This is another bright and beautiful light catcher. Everything I already said about Metal Gear applies to this one.And a bonus swatch...
These all had a fantastic application, 2 thickish coats. I really wish I picked up the red color from this collection now despite my hatred of reds and if I see it I will be snagging it- that is for sure!
Anyone out there in blogger land picked up any of these? How are you liking them?

Sinful San Francisco Konad'ed with China Glaze Millenium
Sinful San Francisco is a pretty popular polish. I never picked it up until a little while ago and I have to say it is pretty...but not uncommon. I will have to swatch and compare but I think I have a dupe to it in my collection.
This is three coats + Essie Matte About You + Konad (must look up plate...) done with China Glaze Millenium. And I will say again how FANTASTIC the China Glaze metallics are for Konad. I will be picking the rest of them up for this reason alone :)
