OPI Lincoln Park After Dark

Ackkk I made such a noob mistake.. I bought this way back in December (so I guess this is a technically not so recent purchase) but was waiting for my nails to grow out so I just discovered my mistakes now. I was planning to do a modified French Manicure with a matte colored black/purple base and shiny tips after seeing it on another blogger's page. Of course I would NOT know that there are two versions of the same polish; an actual matte version of color and your regular shiny version. And yep, you guessed it, I bought the shiny version :(

Anywhos, I still like this color despite the fact that it's not what I wanted. This is OPI Lincoln Park After Dark. It's a very deep colored purple that almost shows up as black. I like that it's not your run of the mill plain black and something a little bit different. 

After one coat the polish is very opaque but with close inspection you'll see that it's a tiny bit streaky or that some parts are a bit lighter. Two coats was perfect.

Kinda messy! Also added some nail stickers that I got off eBay.

Sorry about the lack of outfit posts. I was going to upload one for this post and Thursday but I must've accidentally deleted them off my phone.

Instead I present this:

Poutine Pizza!

Me and the boyfriend are fatties, especially around the hours of midnight to 1:00AM. Yes we finished that in one sitting and I eat the same amount he does hehe.

Warm & Fozzie

So what's Warm and Fozzie? 

This!

OPI Warm & Fozzie

I quickly went to the beauty section at Winners in Metrotown today and discovered that they have a few shades from the OPI Muppets Collection which features polishes that are all glittery. They were $7.99 a bottle. From what I remember they only had Warm & Fozzie, Meep-Meep-Meep, Fresh Frog of Bel Air, Divine Swine, and Gettin' Miss Piggy with It. I kind of want to go back and buy the Miss Piggy shade which is a red-pink shade. I chose Warm & Fozzie since I'll probably wear it the most. 

The bad? The bottles are kind of scuffed. You can see it on the top left portion of the bottle pictures above but here's another picture: 

Swatches:

One coat, two coats, three coats

Sorry, pictures are a bit blurry since I used my phone. As you can tell the first coat is really sheer and a bit streaky. I'm waiting for my finger nails to grow longer at the moment and with one coat the tips were very visible. Second and third coats aren't photographed well here, but even after the second coat my nail tips were still a bit visible. After the third coat, all is well and the polish is finally opaque! 

Thoughts?

It's very bronzy. I like the sparkly-ness. I'm not sure how in love with color I am. I think I was swayed by the glitter, my new obsession. From what I've read online, other bloggers will agree that using any of these shades requires at least 3 coats for full coverage and effect.I think I want to go back and buy the Miss Piggy tomorrow since I'll be at Metrotown again. Boyfriend will not approve haha. 

As part of my promise, some more stuff is slowing rolling in! What came today? My Sigma F80 Kabuki Brush!

It came with the little red bag and a care instruction card!

I'm excited to try this out. I apply my foundation using my hands and this brush is supposed to your makeup application "flawless" so I hope I see a good change. After reading a number of reviews from other bloggers I have high hopes!

The brush is $16 + shipping which works out to be pretty cheap (~$3) and if you Google there are usually 10% off codes :) 

Last of all here's my outfit of the day:

As I mentioned in my last post, I decided to keep the TOMS, so here they are. I pretty much paired it with a similar outfit as I did when I was trying them on.

Not really sure why I took my shoes off in the second picture lol. I was intending to show the lace detailing on my tank.
