Comparison: OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons and Zoya Farah

Hey ya'll!  Today I'm going to show you two nude/neutral polishes.  They are OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons and Zoya Farah.  

First up is Don't Pretzel My Buttons.  This is from OPI's Germany Collection Fall 2012.  It's a creamy beigey peachy nude with yellow-ish undertones.  How's that for a description?  This is almost a "mannequin hands" color for me, but not quite.  The formula is fantastic and smooth.  2 easy coats here.

Zoya Logan

So I already showed you my 3 picks of Zoya's Ornate collection, right?  Right.  The thing is, I got 2 more...for Christmas.  WOOT!  So today I bring you Zoya Logan.  It is green, it's sparkly, it's a duochrome, it's beautiful!  For any time of year.

Guest Nails! - butter LONDON Come To Bed Red

 Hey ya'll!  

So on Thursday night I got to do my Mom's nails and we had so much fun!  She let me do a little bit of nail art on her and we both really liked the final look.  SO, today I wanted to feature her nails!  We used a color that I've been wanting to show you for a while but my own swatch photos weren't all that great: butter LONDON Come To Bed Red.

OPI Suzi Takes the Wheel

Hey ya'll!  It's the day after Christmas and I hope that if your Christmas was like mine, you're relaxing today as much as possible.  Stay in your pajamas!  Don't go anywhere!  Sleep!  Read my blog!

Today I have OPI Suzi Takes The Wheel.  This is another shade that I borrowed from my friend Courtney. This color was a part of the 2011 Fall Touring America collection.

Christmas Mani #3!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Hey ya'll - I'm typing up this post Christmas morning so it's going to be a short one!  I just wanted to make sure I showed you my last Christmas look before Christmas was gone!

Today I'm showing you a Christmas water marble!  Yay!  This is only my fourth or fifth one, so, I'm still very amateur, as you will be able to see.  Middle finger on both hands I got a little over-zealous with the toothpick cleaning up the water and I got a couple of bubbles on a few other fingers.  I'm much happier with my left hand, I did it second.

Christmas Mani #2 - Zoya Aurora

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE YA'LL!  

Today I have my second Christmas themed manicure - I had really planned to get to more of these but life is busy and on top of that I can tend to be somewhat of a scrooge...  In any case, I am SUPER excited about this one!  I don't know why I love it so much, and I hate that all of my pictures came out somewhat blurry, but I love it!  It's so fun and cute!  The main polish used here is Zoya Aurora, my final pick from the Ornate Collection!  Behold it's purpley goodness:

Sation Miss Emo Shun All

Today I have another of my 3 picks from Sation's Class of Sation collection.  (I showed ya'll another from this collection, Loudest Color, here.)  This is Sation Miss Emo Shun All.  I have almost shown this color every time I've posted - and then changed my mind.  It's just, so hard to get an accurate photo!  (Go ahead and do a Google image search - see how many different colors you get...)  This color is very dark, but vibrant and rich at the same time.  It's an unusual juxtaposition of characteristics.
