Cupcake NailsA messy, but fun, mani…

I took a trip down to my local Ulta the other day and left with some CRAZY nails! Before I made my final purchases, I tested the color and texture of each bottle with a quick dot on my nails. The next day I was meeting up with a good friend who also happens to be a nail polish fiend! I did not want to subject her (or the general public) to my crazy polkadot nails, so before our lunch date I quickly threw on my two new polishes from the Nicole by OPI Selena Gomez collection: the peachy pink “Selena” all over and AMAZING rainbow glitter “Confetti Fun” on the tips. Believe it or not, these are my first OPI polishes in several years–and I’m very happy with them! They have a much shorter, fatter brush and smoother application than what I remembered. The mani came out a little messier than I would like, but that’s only because I was in a hurry and didn’t take my time. Nothing a little nail polish remover won’t fix–and now my nails look like a pretty pink cupcake!

Zoya Caitlin is an unexpected new favorite of mine.  This smokey purple-blue-gray shade looks a little darker on my nails than in the bottle, and it’s a great transition color from summer into fall–sophisticated and chic, but still a bit bright and fun! Get it for $8 on Zoya.com before September 30th and use code SWEEP2 for free shipping!

What’s on your nails?

Like Les Jeans de Chanel, NARS’s limited-edition Space Odyssey nail polish ($17) hits shelves September 8th as part of Fashion’s Night Out.  The foil-finish silver shade is pretty perfect in my book: it makes a bold statement, but goes with everything!

When I first saw a preview of this super-exclusive polish on Karen‘s nails, I immediately mistook it for one of my favorites from my own collection: Zoya Trixie ($8).  Check out this high-quality Space Odyssey dupe:

Won’t festive-yet-funky Trixie be perfect for the holidays coming up?!

Best of all, if you buy Trixie (or any other color) on Zoya.com before September 30th, you can use promo code SWEEP2 for free shipping!

Have you ever tried silver nail polish?
