OPI Cuckoo For This Color!

Yeah, I'd say the name fits this one for sure!
I don't know how OPI keeps coming up with these crazy names, but I sure like some of the new colors they've come out with recently.

This one is from the Swiss collection.


I really like the way it seems to shift colors when it is seen in different kinds of light.


I think it looks very chic and classy for toes and would look good on a girl with some dark dressy heels.
...oh, and for a guy - it's an incredible color too!
























Have an awesome - and colorful - day!!! :)

Autumn

Hello my fine followers :)


Here's a cool autumn color I came across while doing a little 'cleaning' through my collection.
I remember liking it when I first got it, and I guess I still do like it!

It's from Creative Nail Design,
called "Cedar".

...in indirect light


...and in sun
















Happy Fall everyone!!! I hope you are enjoying all the brilliant colors :)

Black? ...or Black?

Wow it seems like forever since I last posted. Well, I guess I am like a lot of you, just very busy trying to make it all work in this trying economy.
But, there is always time for some fun,right?

Okay now readers, your color seleciton advice is greatly appreciated here. I have two black polishes that I like a lot, but I need some help from you in deciding which one to wear for Halloween.


On the left is Zoya Raven, a rich true-black with just a hint of shimmer hidden in it.
On the right is Man Glaze Death Tar, an incredible matte black with a ton of multi-colored flecks imbedded in it (seen here with a glossy overcoat).


With a good coat of Seche Vite, they can both look like glass, and you all know how good a glossy black can look! In fact, I am inclined to say that black may be the best unisex color of nail polish there is. It looks equally classy and great on women and men.


Okay, here they are close-up so you can really see how they look.

First, Zoya Raven:
















And here is the Man Glaze:

















Please let me know in the comments below which one you like best. If you want even better pics, check here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/toepaintguy/

Either one would work, but with your input, I will be confident I'm looking my best for the cause!
Hey, it's great to be back! I missed all of you!!! : )
