China Glaze Stellar
First, I love the color of this polish. A champagne beige with micoglitter, I think it’s suit any skintone. This is my usual 3 coats plus SV. Downside: total pita to remove unless you use the soak and wrap method of removal. In my book, it’s worth it!

Here’s one more pic in the bright sunlight. I just think it’s gorgeous and understated at the same time.
OPI Tickle My Francey
Oh, the yummy nudiness of this polish. This is 3 coats and I do still have VNL, which doesn’t bother me, but probably would have taken only 1 more coat to make opaque. This is also the closest I’ve found to my skin color. If you have any mannequin hands color idea, please let me know!

Lavender putty. I think they use that to describe Sephora OPI Metro Chic. This is possibly similar, though I don’t yet own the Metro Chic yet. Went on great, white label, for those who care, dry time was a wee slower than normal, but it took only 2 coats. I really love the neutral shade of this color. It looks much shinier than in my pics. Still working on that…. yes.
OPI Kreme de Kremlin
This one probably doesn’t suit me at all, but I love it, anyway. It’s a slightly pinkish cream nude. I only used two coats, here. Normally with an OPI it takes 3 to cover my visible nail line. It goes on great, as usual, even better as it’s a bit thicker than a usual OPI.
Fishnet Konad
I can’t remember the plate number and am too lazy to drag it all out right now! And my right hand actually turned out better this time!
Dating A Royal with Nfu-Oh 37
I used the base color so the flakies would show up better in our lacking NW light. Here you can really see the flakes and the soft, pearlescent glow this polish has. LOVE it! Totally unique.
Color Club Coastal Creme
A super rich, creamy polish with a hint of pinkish beige, looking very clean. I liked wearing it. The aplication… don’t get me wrong, I adore CC, but it seems thick on their cremes and I have a hard time applying them. So pardon the imperfect application… I was too lazy to clean up, which is why I try to get it *just righty* the first time. The application was a little thick for my liking, so I’ll thin it a bit and use it plenty! Love the shade!
OPI Barefoot in Barcelona
Sorry for the giant pic! AAAAHHHH!! Camera settings are so not my forte’! Back to polish! Goes on flawlessly smooth. A lovely deeper nude shade, this almost blends into my skin in indoor lighting. Very classy shade. Dries pretty quickly. With OPI, it seems to dry alot faster when I wait until it’s dry to put on topcoat. Otherwise, I end up smudging it. It dries pretty fast on it’s own.
Misa Toasted Almond
A lovely polish that goes on super smooth and creamy. Dries quickly, too. I have a hard time describing this color, so I’ll go with toasted almond! It definitely is a shade of neutral brown, but it’s not orangey at all.
Misa Boned Corset
Beautiful polish. It took three coats, but it’s a lovely ivory bone shade that I haven’t seen elsewhere. Goes on smooth but a little streaky because it’s rather sheer. It doesn’t dry super fast. You can see where I dented it on the pinkie taking the picture. I was impatient!
Misa Waist High Hue Konad m57
Misa cremes are so nice to apply. This one took two coats. It’s a brownish pink nude, a really beautiful neutral, not sheer at all. I will post a pic soon of it without the Konading.
I order Misa polishes at head2toebeauty.com, but there are other places. They’ve always been very accurate with my order, but it does take a little while to arrive.
The Konad design here was different to put on. I had to press harder than normal when applying it to get the pattern even. It took me a couple of tries to get this, and it isn’t perfect, but I’m pretty happy with it. I think my nails are actually a bit long for some of the wallpaper designs because they won’t cover my whole nail. Time for a trim, but I was getting to like the length. 
Sinful Flirting Nails
Really nice formula, looks pretty at 1 coat, but this is 2. A light, shimmery taupe, very neutral. Every bit as good as my OPIs and doesn’t smell as bad! The Sinful polishes are available at Walgreens and I’m sure many other stores. Fred Meyer, to name one other in the NW. They are usually $1.99, and often BOGO, so they are well worth the price if you like the color… or if you want to experiment!
China Glaze Golden Spurs
I wore this polish for a couple of days, a near record for me. It transforms into a soft, shimmery, golden shade in the sun, and looks like a soft taupe indoors. A simple but unusual shade. Dries pretty quick and two coats was all I needed.
