Nicole by OPI: Alex by the Books

Good morning everyone! Have you noticed anything different about the blog? I bought my own domain! I don't know what took me so long but I finally did it. So I present to you www.primandpolishedblog.com :-)

Today I have a color from the Modern Family collection to show you. This is Alex by the Books, now I don't watch the show so I seriously have no clue what this name even means.

Alex by the Books is a sea foam  green creme color. It's got a nice shine to it which helps it from appearing chalky. Sometimes colors like this, with a lot of white in the base, can be really chalky in their finish. This one is not. I have tons of colors like this and plan to do a comparison plan ASAP. I love colors like this for the spring. They seem to always be on trend.

I used two coats for the opacity shown in the photos but as you can see, I needed three. It was a nice formula so I honestly think it was my application so take it with a grain of salt. I am sure you can see though, especially on the pinky finger, I had a bit of balding going on. I think this can be a two coater with a more careful application though.

Do you have this one? Do you plan to get it? Do you have something in your collection you think is a complete dupe. Be on the look out for a dupe post and we'll see just how close we can dupe it.

Nicole by OPI: Back in my Gloria Days

Hello gorgeous! Thanks for visiting the blog today! Today I have a polish from the Modern Family collection by Nicole by OPI to show you. I admit, I do not watch the show, I've never seen it, but that doesn't mean the nail polish collection isn't cool!

This is Back in my Gloria Days and it's a red based purple shimmer. My photos simply do not do this one justice! It's super shimmery and catches the light just beautifully. It's also quite a red based purple (vs. blue based purple) and I don't think the camera caught that.

The formula on this is okay but you absolutely need to do three coats. These first two pictures are two coats. As you can see, there are some bald spots and the overall look isn't so hot:

Once you add the third coat you have a  beautiful manicure. Everything evens out and the color even gets prettier.  The third coat gets rid of all visible balding and the end result is a really pretty shimmery pruple.
