"I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick." -Audrey Hepburn

I've read that the quote in my title is miss-attributed to Audrey Hepburn and that it is actually from a poem. It's still a lovely quote though! This post is going to be about all of the nail polishes I've picked up in the past two months. I've purchases a few O.P.I. colors and some Chanel polishes, so without further ado....

I ordered the entire Pirates of the Caribbean collection from OPI and I am quite pleased with it. The colors are all very lovely. I haven't used them all yet, but I have swatches of the ones I've tried!

Here is my favorite: Mermaid's Tears. It's very similar to Tiffany blue, which is an awesome color!
 

I also really love Stranger Tides. It's a murky green shade that looks absolutely stunning!

The other colors in the set are Skull and Glossbones, Sparrow Me the Drama, Steady As She Rose, Planks a Lot, and Silver Shatter. I have tried Planks a Lot and I absolutely adore it, but for some reason I didn't take a photo of it! :( Silver shatter is also my favorite shatter color. :) I'm not a huge fan of the shatter lines; I think they're fun but they look cheap on your nails. :/

I also purchased two cult favorites - You Don't Know Jacques and Lincoln Park After Dark.

Here is You Don't Know Jacques on my nails. My nails look very unkempt lol, so sorry about that! Hopefully I can get a manicure soon. I do nothing to my nails besides paint them, and when I get manicures they cut/file them for me. I naturally don't have any cuticles really growing, so I don't do anything to my cuticles, which makes my manicures much cheaper. :)

This is my current OPI collection. It's not colossal or anything like that, quite the contrary. I only recently started buying nail polish (like, within the last couple of months), but there are lots of OPI colors on my wishlist!

Now on to Chanel....

I bought Peridot, despite having initial misgivings about the color. It looks very nice on - it's a mixture of gold and green.

I also tried out two of the FNO colors - Blue Rebel and Coco Blue. I've yet to put on Blue Boy.

I love Coco Blue. Here it is compared to Tiffany blue:

 

Blue Rebel is a very cool dark blue. I found that it chipped easily though. :( My other Chanel nail polishes don't chip a lot at all, so that was kind of a bummer.

Here is my current Chanel collection:

I started collecting Chanel nail polishes a month ago, and now I am dying to get Orange Fizz, Rose Insolent, Particuliere, Vamp, Black Satin, Black Pearl, and Inattendu! :)
Hope you are all doing well! xo
