NOTD - NARS Pokerface

I'm a sucker for purple nail polishes. Especially those that have names based in current pop-culture references, like Pokerface. Although the term "pokerface" doesn't belong to Lady Gaga, she's certainly laid some claim to it. Anyway, NARS released this pretty lavendar with their holiday 2010 collection. For whatever reason, my camera decided to make this color pull periwinkle, but it's a neutral, light purple with a in-the-bottle-only shimmer, at least, on me.

Pokerface is one of 3 NARS polishes I've tried, and seems to be the best as far as application goes (Orgasm was super sheer, and MASH... I'm on the fence). Not super thick, not super thin, this polish was squarely in the middle. Two coats was needed, because the first coat was a bit streaky. This is after 2 days of wear, with 1 coat of Diamont on top.

NOTD - Christmas Edition- OPI's Visions of Sugarplums

I'm trying to use up a nail polish, but with so many options, I find myself overwhelmed, so I go back to my favorites. This, my friends, is one of my favorites. One of the Ulta exclusives from 2009, Visions of Sugarplums is a gorgeous deep purple with shimmer. I love it. It took me forever to get it (darn my Ulta and selling out of things!), but it was worth it. I realize there's some tip wear going on, but hey - I unwrapped presents and cooked a Christmas dinner with this mani! I think it's earned a little wear!

Alas, however, it will be removed tonight and changed to... well, something else!
