Last Friday Night - OPI Katy Perry Collection

Happy Saturday night everyone!! Tonight I decided to swatch "Last Friday Night"(LFN) from OPI's Katy Perry Collection.  It took me forever to get it right.  I have to be honest, I'm not super in love with this color or type of polish (jelly).  It is extremely sheer, which I've mentioned, I am not a bid fan of! On the other hand, I think it would look fabulous under the Black Shatter (still on back order) or on top of a light blue base polish coat! LFN is a light denim jelly with fine and medium holo glitter.  I applied a base coat, 4 coats of LFN, and a top coat.  I left a lot of time between coats. I don't expect it to last very long.  When polish is on your nail in a thick layer, it is more prone to chipping away from the free edge. 



For those who don't know what the OPI Black Shatter is, it's a black nail polish that crackles and the base color shows up through.  It's all the rage and everyone is sold out and it's on back order.  Mine will be in the mailed on Tuesday!! YAY!! I have two bottles on the way, but it's going to be around for a while, and we will be seeing new colors in upcoming collection releases! Thanks for visiting dear readers and may the polish be with you!  

Black Shatter and the Katy Perry Colors!

Teenage Dream - OPI Katy Perry Collection

It FINALLY came in the mail yesterday!! The Katy Perry Collection (still waiting for the OPI Black Shatter) that I ordered from Spa Boutique! I have been so patient and it was definately worth the wait.  Teenage Dream is a light pink jelly with small and medium size holographic glitter.  I applied three coats because I'm not a big fan of clear-ish nail polish and this made it opaque enough to satisfy me! I made sure that I allowed for ample drying time between coats.  I waited about a half hour after that to apply my top coat and the final result is AWESOME!! I love it!

Here are pictures of my order! Each bottle came individually wrapped in bubble wrap and then lime green tissue paper.  As always, I also received samples of some of the product they carry.  This time I received some Yonka products. The top picture is the Katy Perry collection without the Black Shatter. I should receive it next week! The colors from left to right are:  Last Friday Night, The One That Got Away, Teenage Dream and Not Like The Movies.  The Picture Below shows the samples and Sparklicious from the OPI Burlesque Collection (big bottle) and a mini bottle of Sparitual's Hunk Of Burnin' Love.  Its so pretty!   If you have any questions you can post below or email me at lady.lacquer@gmail.com . Well, that's all for tonight dear readers and may the nail polish be with you!!

My Little Piece of Heaven @ Home!!

This is my first post and how do I start?  I created this blog in October 2010 and although it's taken me three months to post something, I will be posting a lot more often from now on! A lot has changed in the last few months, especially in the last month.  In October I had just begun an online course in Nail Technology.  Three months later, I am almost done the online course but I've decided to go back to school to get my "actual" Nail Tech degree.  I have applied at the Majestany Institute in Fredericton, New Brunswick and I will be starting in May of this year.  Although I will be away from my husband and son for 3 1/2 months (my daughter is coming with me), I really am very excited! 

That's a little about me, now on to the pictures!  The top picture is my little piece of heaven at home.  My sweet husband put the shelves up for me and this is now a part of our living room...Thanks babe!  The nail polishes on the shelves are all OPI, Nicole by OPI and Sephora by OPI.  The ones on the table are some of my other favorites, China Glaze, Essie, Gosh, etc.  I will be posting swatches about twice a week or more, so please be sure to come back often!  My collection is small now, but it will almost double in the next 2 weeks.  As soon as my orders are in I will post pictures of my "hauls"!  I will have contests and give-aways every now and then so please become a follower on my blog!! Thanks for visiting dear readers and may the polish be with you!
