NOTD: OPIs You Callin' Me A Lyre?

Today's nail polish is probably one of my favorite nail polishes by OPI because it's a very pretty sheer pink. This polish is in the New York City Ballet collection with other pretty sheer polishes as well. I feel like it can match basically anything because it's so neutral and simple. This color looks perfect for a french manicure or even just alone.

I am absolutely in love with this color because it's sheer it helps your nails still look natural, but I feel that it just enhances your nails and make them look 100x better than before. As shown in the picture, the polish gives off a glossy/shiny finish which is good especially since my nails were top coat-less (because I had run out my top coat). So now I know that if I add a top coat it will add a beautiful shine to the nails. Also, I am especially in love with the name of the polish and how they put a tiny pun into the name.

This nail polish is sold at any drugstore that sells OPI nail polish and it retails for around $8-9.

Let me know what your favorite natural/french manicure is, I'd love to try them!

NOTD: Color Club Blue-Ming

I received this mini nail polish in my July Birchbox. This color is in the Summer Pastel Collection from Color Club and it is a bright pastel teal color. I decided to wear this because it's a fun bright color that fits the summer time.

The formulation is very opaque but at the same time, it's very streaky so I needed to apply at least 2-3 coats. The brush applicators are like the usual, skinny long bristles. Luckily, when the polish is applied, it has a pretty shine (exact shine in the pictures because I had finished my top coat).


I was happy when I received this color in my birchbox so I could try this brand out because I've never seen and heard about this brand so it brought me to a new world. I really like this color, but I don't know if i will be getting this brand for a while because, one, I don't know where they are sold and two, I'm just lazy.

You can purchase this at... (researching)
...on the Color Club website for $8.

What's your favorite summer polish?
