OPI Liquid Sand: Alcatraz...Rocks

I will admit that while I am a fan of the textured matte trend (Liquid Sand, Pixie Dust etc.) I am starting to get slightly annoyed with the sheer amount of polishes coming out with that finish. Calm down, stop shoving it down our throats. I have to say though, this one is a masterpiece...

Ladies and gentleman  I present to you: Alcatraz...Rocks from the OPI San Francisco Collection.  What a stunner! I am not sure it gets more beautiful than the royal purple packed with tons of holographic particles. I cannot even describe this beauty!

I knew right when I took this out of the box it came in that I was going to love it. What's not to love? Purple, check! Holo, check! It's an all around beautiful and unique offering from OPI. 

This is a Liquid Sand finish, which is a textured matte. I find these to go on very easily and dry quickly without the assistance of a top coat. A shiny topcoat will change the finish of these so avoid it unless you want to make it shiny. I used two coats for opacity here and it's perfect! 

So am I getting slightly bored with this type of finish? Yup! But I do love this polish and get so excited when something truly unique finds its way to my collection. I think you all need this color, especially if you're a purple lover like me!

Pixi: Wakeup Wisteria

I told you I would post a polish so here it is! This is a stunner! This is Wakeup Wisteria by Pixi. This is an absolutely gorgeous  purple creme color. This is my kind of color! This is my favorite type of purple and this one is perfect.

I used two coats for the opacity shown and this was perfectly smooth and shiny! I had no issues with application whatsoever, it just went on perfectly.  I love it so much! You can get Pixi polishes at Target stores. They're pricey but worth it when you find a unique color. 

Do you love this as much as I do?!

Precision: Sage

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a nice weekend! Today I want to give a special shout out to two very dear friends of mine, Sarah and Pat. It's Sarah and Pat's 7th wedding anniversary! They just recently added a baby boy to their family so they have a lot to celebrate. Happy Anniversary Pat and Sarah, cheers to many more anniversary celebrations to come. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your big 5 year celebration in Disney two years ago. We had the most fantastic time with good company. I will never forget the boys launching Buzz Lightyear off of the balcony! "To Infinity and Beyond". Love you guys!

Today's nail polish is one I received from the brand Precision and it's in the color, Sage. This is a gorgeous muddy green color and sage is simply to perfect name for it. I love the look of this one. It's smokey and sexy. I am a huge fan of greens and grays on my nails and this is the perfect marriage between the two. It works like a neutral with a kick. This color has a subtle green microshimmer throughout that captures the light and adds interest to the color. It's really beautiful!

I used two coats for full opacity and had no issues with application  I did have to trim a stray brush hair that was longer than the rest but it was no biggie, I just used some eyebrow scissors and snipped it away. I tried to leave it there but it made a mess.  This is the second Precision color I have reviewed and I am really enjoying what this brand has to offer. 

See how sometimes it looks grey and sometimes it looks green? Cool right? I dig it. What do you think of Sage? 

Thanks for taking the time out of your day to stop by and read the blog. It means the world to me. I love chatting with you all in the comments so don't be shy!
