NOTD: Upgraded OPI – Tease-y Does It = pure love

I know I’m getting boring with the Tease-y Does It nail polish, but I love it so much, that I can’t take it off my nails. Although I have tons of polishes to swatch I’m still wearing it. Yesterday I upgraded it bit with the sponge technique, just to make a bit more sparkly. First … Read more

Comparison: OPI Burlesque - Tease-y Does It vs. Collistar - Melanzana Glitter

Comparison: OPI – Tease-y Does It vs. Collistar – Melanzana Glitter

p2 Gorgeous swatch by Parokeets

p2 Gorgeous

Without the doubt, p2 Gorgeous! is the winner of yesterdays contest. :D Gorgeous is really gorgeous violet polish, that applies beautifully.
