NOTD: China Glaze My Little Pony Collection in Too Busy Being Awesome

Two coats of China Glaze My Little Pony Collection in Too Busy Being Awesome. Cerulean Blue Creme.

Tell me I'm not the only one loving this bright!

Too Busy Being Awesome is one of the prettiest blues I have ever laid eyes on - and the formula is just bomb! Leaning ever so slightly teal/turquoise, Too Busy Being Awesome builds to opacity lightning fast and really makes a statement - so perf if that's what you're after.

This is the color to grab if you're looking for a splash of spring/summer during these chilly months!

NOTD: China Glaze My Little Pony Collection in Sweet As Pinkie Pie

Three coats of China Glaze My Little Pony Collection in Sweet As Pinkie Pie. Peachy Pink Creme.

How sweet is this shade for Valentine's week tho?! I'm in luuurve!

Sweet As Pinkie Pie is one of those pale yet bright colors that gives you an insta-tan and works for virtually all seasons. The formula was a teeny tiny bit thin; but builds beautifully with a trio of coats. Best part? This bad boy lasts! Aside from a touch of tipwear, it maintained its pretty for 6 days!

NOTD: OPI Love OPI XOXO Nail Lacquer Collection in Ornament To Be Together

Three coats of OPI Love OPI XOXO Nail Lacquer Collection in Ornament To Be Together Silver Foil w/ Holographic Microglitter.

Silver shades rarely catch my eye; but for winter I thought I'd try a metallic on for size, and I kiiind of loved it!

Ornament To Be Together isn't your standard metallic silver - the holographic microglitter scattered throughout {which I failed to notice when simply looking at the bottle} adds a little something something {read: prismatic rainbow effect in sunlight} that is just magical.

The formula here was thin; but built up quickly to create the opaque perfection you see here. If you love metallic, this one's for you!

NOTD: nails inc. White Out Nail Polish

Two coats of nails inc. White Out Nail Polish White Creme.

I live for a good white crème, and White Out is legit one of the best I have ever come across!

While many white cremes have a tendency to require coat after coat to reach opacity, White Out achieved complete opacity in just two without feeling thick or runny. If you're looking for a stellar white crème this bad boy comes highly recommended!

NOTD: OPI Iceland Infinite Shine Collection in Suzi & the Arctic Fox

PRESS SAMPLE

Two coats of OPI Iceland Infinite Shine Collection in Suzi & the Arctic Fox Dark Purple Creme.

True story: the color description of this one right here is the most inaccurate thing ever! Dark purple? For me it reads more dusty charcoal gray - but that's just my opinion.

While I love a dark and vampy hue for the cold weather months, Suzi & the Arctic Fox didn't do much for me. I found it to be fairly muddy and boring, and it was a bit too chippy for my taste - requiring multiple touch-ups during the five days that I wore it. Tossing it. Womp womp.

NOTD: China Glaze My Little Pony Collection in Kill 'Em With Kindness

Four coats of China Glaze My Little Pony Collection in Kill 'Em With Kindness. Yellow Creme.

Despite the fact that I'm typically not a fan of the color yellow, I was craving a pastel polish and this one caught my eye immediately.

Whether you love yellow or not, Kill 'Em With Kindness will capture your heart, what with it's bright, sunshine-y vibe. My one qualm? It's super thin so you def need to layer this bad boy on. Worth it? The jury's still out on that one; but the color is a beauty!

NOTD: OPI Love OPI XOXO Nail Lacquer Collection in Coalmates

Two coats of OPI Love OPI XOXO Nail Lacquer Collection in Coalmates Metallic Charcoal.

Ooh ladies let me tell you that this color is L-O-V-E!

You all know that I rarely gravitate towards sparkly shades, but Coalmates is giving it to me! The navy-meets-charcoal hue is so perfect for ringing in the new year; and I cannot get over how fabulous the formula here is. Zero, count them, 0 chips in the full 7 days that I wore this bad boy! Huzzah!

NOTD: China Glaze Online Only Street Regal Collection in Royal Pain In The Ascot

Two coats of China Glaze Online Only Street Regal Collection in Royal Pain In The Ascot Dark Burgundy Shimmer.

Babes, there is legit only one way for me to describe this bad boy: obsessed! Seriously though, this color is fire!

Royal Pain In The Ascot is THE most perfect Christmas color IMO. The shimmer and cranberry color combined make for ALL of the merry. And the formula? Straight. Up. Perf. This beauty could have easily been classified as a OCW; but I opted for two to be on the safe side. Get it girls!

NOTD: OPI Love OPI XOXO Nail Lacquer Collection in Feel the Chemis-Tree

Three coats of OPI Love OPI XOXO Nail Lacquer Collection in Feel the Chemis-Tree Shimmering Purple.

Purple isn't typically a color I associate with the holiday season; but the shimmer and red undertones of Feel the Chemis-Tree make this shade quite the exception.

Though this bad boy did require multiple coats to reach opacity; the wear-time {6 days without chips!}, and the fact that it doesn't leave brushstrokes make it a must have for the season of merry!
