Does it dry quicker than SH Insta Dry? Nicole by OPI is not widely available here (nor is OPI) - I've just seen a few polishes in random shops. And I've never seen their Drying Drops. Are they better than the regular OPI Drying Drops? I know they're available here.
It's likely we're talking about the same thing----rounded small bottle with a dropper applicator?

I love that shade of blue. It really looks good on you!
Nubar's Boyfriend Jeans - part of their cheeky little release where they duped the entire Chanel Jeans collection. Bad Nubar! This one's super close to Blue Boy, but I think has a touch more grey to it. Nothing a normal person would notice though

On the ring finger I have one coat of Nubar 2010. The flakes are pretty small and the camera couldn't really capture them (I know, I know. Bad workman blames his tools

). My cuticles are still not in super shape but Lemony Flutter's helped a lot.

First time coming to the Nail polish discussion board!! I just found this while searching for Archie's girls pictures: http://www.averysweetblog.com/2013/01/opi-urban-decay-oz-great-and-powerful.html. I'm excited to see how these look on the nail.
Check out the blog Swatch and Learn. she said she posted a review.....went and swatched some np at Urban Outfitters ( Im going back to get the green and silver holos) lots of DL wannabe's that im probably going to get lol.
I opened all the BL testers at nordstroms,i really love Fruit Machine! and Kerfluffle.....and fiver. They were out of Jasper, and Molly Coddles is really pretty too.
I got some more np this week lol i cant even remember. My mom got me Revlons Heavenly (dupe for Stairway to Heaven), and I found OPI's Rumples Wiggin from the shrek collection! i looked all over and finally found it, i was so happy! oh and a gray Revelon, so i can see if i like it on me. That way i can purchase the dior one lol . This one is called Hazy and it was 75% off...

Yay Naughtyp! Nice selections there. My BL Fiver & Fruit Machine will arrive on Friday, and I just got a shipping notice for Jasper but no ship date. I may need to go back and look at the others that you mentioned because I merely saw computer swatches.

Time for glitter! I have some (okay, many) polishes that have been waiting for their turn, and this is Ray-diant from CG Prismatic. It is actually a light greenish shade.



PS My A England order shipped yesterday!

My mani today. I used the white Essence from the Snow Jam collection we talked about recently. I didn't care for it alone, so I layered OPI Last Friday Night over it. It's snowing today so I wasn't able to catch the awesome blue shimmer in it. But fits for a snowy day!

It looks so delicate and pretty! I think it would also work layered over a white base.

I learned today that I need to check out local blogs. Stumbled on one that told me about a local webshop where I found DL Sweet Dreams for €19,78 (odd price) and no shipping costs!

This is my first time ever to buy cosmetics from a webshop in my own country!

They have some other DL polishes, too, but I'm just wondering which glitters I want to get. I don't care much for those with a clear base. I already have Across the Universe, Bad Romance, and Mermaid's Dream.

That's brilliant! Do they ship to Europe too? /greedy mode

Candy Shop, Forget You, Let's Go Crazy, Ruby Red Slippers and Cleopatra in NY are all pretty awesome. And they're as unclassy (is that even a word? lol) as it gets. Well, except for Ruby Red Slippers. Razzle Dazzle is very beautiful too

Do you wait the obligatory one minute before applying the drying drops? I polish my nails just before sleep and since using the OPI drying drops I have NEVER had marks of any kind. I just don't put much faith in the base and top coat in terms of prolonging the life of my manicure.

I do wait the required minute. There's just something about the Beauty Secrets top coat that takes a while to dry even with the drying drops. I haven't made it to Ulta yet. I've been trying to catch up on some work. I'm going to be on and off the boards until I catch up. But I could no longer wait for a new a top coat and polished my nails anyway without one. I'm wearing Chanel Graphite now.

I'm not worried about my manicure wearing away because I'll be changing polishes more frequently. I decided to count all of the polishes I haven't worn yet...
I have about 140 untrieds.

Thank you all for the compliments on the koh mani

Love that shade of blue! Blue boy was my favorite out of the collection and it's VERY close.
I normally use Seche Vite but lately I've been using butter london top coat. After a few uses I notice that it gets thick like Seche Vite. I'm going to add some seche restore to see what happens.
TY! Yeah they are a little pricey but I love the formula, bottle and the boxes are adorable!! When I bought them she tried to give them to me without a box I was like nonono I want my box!!
lol! They are awesome :x
I would love to do a green March.. I have sooo many!
Ugh, really? I think you just saved me an experiment. I'll probably just get the Posche and Lippmann top coats then.

I love this so much! Snow or no snow it's just a whole bunch of loveliness!!
