Your favorite colors!

Mar 31, 2008 00:25

I'm looking to invest in some China Glaze and/or OPI nail polishes because I've never used any before, and I'm tired of cheap stuff peeling off! What are your favorite polishes for everyday, or for work ( Read more... )

opi, nail polish

sorry, i can't help you, but good luck in japan! i'm there now, but leaving at the end of may. :(

Ooh where are you? I'm going to Sapporo. I've been to Southern Japan before but never Hokkaido so it'll be learning all over again.

Plus now it's been years since I was in a Japanese class so I won't know how to talk to anyone!

oh, that's awesome! i'm in osaka. i've never been anywhere besides the kansai area and kanto area, so it's cool that you're going to hokkaido!

I went to all the usual places last time-- Osaka, Kyoto, Hokkaido, Tokyo, blah blah blah. It was just a sightseeing trip that time. This time I'm going to my college's sister school and I have to attend some lectures and things. I'm determined to look like a million bucks the whole time because last time I was there, well... You know! All the women look so put together and polished! I felt frumpy the whole time I was there!

Creative's 'sticky' is meant to be an awesome base coat, & opi has a great top coat.

Thanks!

I really love For Audrey. It's pretty hard to find in stores, but 8ty8beauty.com would have it -- cheap too!

I love Pink Voltage and I'm currently wearing one that's sort of a shimmery purple-pink. Name escapes me right now, but I'll let you know when I get home!

As far as OPI -- I'm Not Really a Waitress is the SHIIIIIIT!!!

I've heard people recommend 8ty8beauty.com here before, I think. A few posts back someone asked for sites that had OPI or something like that, and got a lot of sites that had China Glaze. head2toebeauty.com was one of them, too.

They're absolutely a reputable seller. They shipped my items VERY quickly, and sent me a cute stuffed pig from OPI, lol!

I highly reccommend them.

I just ordered something with mauve in it from the opi brand which looks really pretty & 2 china glaze colors, although I'm not sure how they'll look in person they looked like great colors on my computer & they were cheap!

good luck! :]

It's just so hard to pick from looking at them online. There are SO MANY nice pale pink colors, and without seeing them in person I just don't know which to choose. Same with the dark reds. But I don't know of anywhere around here that sells OPI or China Glaze, only Orly.

You may want to look on MakeupAlley to read the reviews for each color. I do this a lot since I love reds, but don't want all my colors to look the same. Plus it might look red in the bottle and fuchsia on the nails, so I need to know first.

People usually give a good color description. Plus, some give their skin tones as well and you can compare.

Best top coat = Seche Vite!
OPI Ink is a really pretty dark blue/purple color.
