Thanksgiving Mani

Seeing everyone's holiday manis put me in the mood to have one of my own.

Gosh, this was a difficult one to photograph.

L-R:Wocka Wocka!, Excuse Moi!, Designer...de Better!, Warm & Fozzie, Pepi's Purple Passion

 

• With Pepi's Purple Passion I made french tip side swipes.
• Then  Excuse Moi! along the bottom for a glitter edging.
• With my dotting tool I used the remaining colors.
• On my thumbs and middle fingers I added gold and ruby rhinestones for some glitz.

These are the nails I used:

Because mine refuse to grow. 

Did you do a special mani for Thanksgiving?

Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

OPI: The Muppets "Muppettes" and "Pepe's Purple Passion"

My husband loves me. He marched right into Ulta on Sunday, and with military precision, got the OPIs and got the hell out. He can't tolerate the perfumes and smells in Ulta. But he braved them for me. He even used a coupon!

Here's what he brought back:

Pepi's Purple Passion

 I just had to do some swatches:

Wocka Wocka is beautiful cranberry. Perfect for winter and the holidays.

Excuse Moi is a strawberry tinted glitter with red, blue and green flakes. It is opaque in 2 or 3 coats.
But it can definitely be used as a layering polish.

I LOVE Designer...de Better! It is metal/silver with red flakes.
I wouldn't call it silver because it has more dimension to me, than a silver polish.

Warm & Fozzie is like a bronze glitter with pink flakes.
These photos just don't do it justice. It's like nothing I own.
Just Gorgeous!

Pepe's Purple Passion is a dark burgundy with red shimmer specs.
It's actually darker in person. Like blood red dark.

So I decided to do some layers:

I knew Excuse Moi! would go great over Wocka Wocka!

I enlarged this in hopes that you will be able to see the various colors of the glitter in Excuse Moi.

My husband brought home flowers too, 

but it was the polishes that really cheered me up.

What a great guy I've got!

I am so excited about these polishes! I feel that each one was a home run for me. I don't normally love every polish in a box set but this Muppettes did it for me.

What do you think of the new OPI Muppets Collection? Have you purchased any? Which is your favorite? What do you think of mini-sets? Do you buy them when available?
If you're thinking of buying the min-set, I encourage you to do so. Even though the brush is tiny, the formula is smooth and goes on evenly. It also dries very fast.
