Let's address the silly part of this blog post, my Pepsi Max Cherry addiction. I have no idea where or when this has over took me, but I am addicted to this little juicy Drink. HI MY NAME IS THOMAS AND I AM ADDICTED TO PEPSPI. I can literally go through a bottle in a day :( I'll be round like a cherry if i don't stop, or start looking like a pepsi bottle. One of the two.
Anyways onto my little nail polish collection. I am a boy who wears nail polish... Why? Because I can. I like to look presentable and fashionable in my clothes and hair etc, so why can't I on my nails? after all isn't it made of the same stuff has my hair and teeth. And yes I do not paint my teeth I assure you! I wouldn't look pretty going around with bright blue teeth now would I? Anyways I was looking through my small collection and I have noticed I have a trend going on, I don't know If i do this subconsciously, but the only 'real' shades I have are of the blue/ green and Purple spectrum. I think I'm kind of lucky these colours are in this season otherwise I'd be bankrupt! Anyways onto my swatches! Bare in mind, I took these photographs and thought ''who's fingers are these!?''

| Golden Eye |
Isn't this colour gorgeous, it's like dipping your lady claws in molten 24k Gold! However you need to dip it three times to get it to this intensity. Love it! Pure Gold!
 |
| The Spy Who Loved Me |
I really like this colour, and I am not the biggest fan of red. It looks red in the bottle but it has more pink undertones than it lets on. Shimmery and fabulous! Love it! and it only took one coat! Note my messy application ;)
 |
| The World is not enough |
The world is not enough, the liquid inside the bottle is not enough more like. It's a pretty colour, indeed. But it's not my fav. out of the set of four. Simply because I think the colour pay off is pretty poor. This is four coats :/. Maybe keep it for a top coat??
 |
| Live & Let Die |
Yes I've died and gone to heaven. Apart from my purples etc, I am a sucker for sparkly dark colours, this has sold me to the moon and back. I love it! and this is only one coat! Fabu!!!!

| Nein Nein Nein Ok Fine! |
I really like this colour it's like a dark graphite grey, with a hint of green added in. Don't you love them name?? I think this is a nice day time nail polish! One applications and bam it is on your nails and you are now ready to serve fierce!
 |
| Suzi & the 7 Dussledorfs |
This is a very similar shade to another OPI polish I have, however this seems to have more red undertones to the purple compared to the other one. None the less, it's purple! :P I love this colour, It's a nice pop to any outfit! And it goes with my hair. This took two applications, not too bad!
 |
| Don't Pretzel my buttons |
A very nice muted beige, this is a suitable colour for work or for a more professional date! I love it. It does remind me of the ballet collection that they released. I love the pink undertones of this nudey colour, I have a one similar but it is in the 'brown' spectrum compared to the pink undertone.
 |
| Unforgretably Blue |
I'd this is a deep metallic navy. I really like this colour, its like the sister of suzi and the seven dussledorfs! The colour pay off of this polish is quite good! Took one coat and lasted me four days without chips, as do most of OPI nail polishes.

This is probably one of my favourites. It reminds me of having ghostly nails. Perfect when I want to look like a dead boy, anyways onto a more serious note. I love how cool and light the grey is, I think it's pretty hard to find a grey that is this light in drugstore brands. I have a one from NYC but it's several shades darker and I don't feel that it has the same effect that this one has. It normally takes 2-3 applications as the nail polish is very sheer, which is a shame. But once you have the full colour on, it's gorgeous! Definitely a polish you can wear with any outfit!
 |
| Mermaids Tears |
I was feeling this last season when the whole pastel and mint extravaganza was in, but now it has died off and new colours has came in. I still love it! I think it would work wonders with an outfit has teal concealed in it. This polish reminds me of the ocean, I don't know if its because of the name, or the angelic teal-y hue of the polish. I only needed one coat, and it lasts 4-6 days. I usually wear this one for college. I'll be sad when I run out of it!
Misc. and Isolated Collections

| Don't mess with OPI! - Texas Collection |
A gorgeous green with a cream finish. Was opaque with the first coat & looked perfect with a second coat. Drying time didn't take very long either. With a top & base coat it lasted about a week with very little chipping.

Spark de triomphe - Serena Glam Slam

LOVE this polish. Crazy silver sparkles, can be used by itself and as a top coat. My one beef with some of OPIs sparkle polishes is that they are solely top coats, you can't build them up easy. This only takes two (maybe three) coats to build up to full opacity. It looks gorgeous as a top coat as well.
Only down side is that, as with 99.9% of glitter polishes, it chips quite easily.
 |
| OPI Ink - Night Brights |
All of my other navy colored nail polishes can move aside, OPI Ink has captured my heart. Perhaps it's because it isn't a straight on navy, with the hints of purple shimmer. My particular bottle had the perfect consistency. Two coats is all that is needed, with no fussy pooling or dragging.

| Yodel my on my cell! - Swiss collection |
A great alternative to super dark, shimmery navy. It applies very smoothly; add 3 coats for extra depth, coverage, and sparkle. I like this color best on my toenails or on short fingernails. This blue is sophisticated enough that you can wear it as an adult, even showing out of nude or black peep-toe shoes at the office.
Plum and get it!
Plum and get it is a beautiful purple with blue undertones. To get its full effect I applied it in two coats and you're set to go! Perffffff! I am however unsure what collection it is from, and every time i search it in google it comes up with Dim sum Plum :/

| Fly - Nicki Minaj |
the color is great! it's a creme, which is my favorite finish.
It's bright, and strangely enough, different than all other polishes I own.
The only downside is that it can sometimes stain, but I wear polish 99.9% of the time so this isn't a problem for me.
I bought one of the other halves Save my for christmas, check out her blog and post {HERE}!

| Blonde Date - Legally Blonde collection |
This nail polish is absolutely gorgeous!! It really looks wonderful with my skin tone (yellow undertones.) It's wonderful for the holidays coming up and isn't too garrish for work. This is absolutely my new favorite shade of OPI nail polish. It is a yellow gold, but it's not a scary glitzy gold that RuPaul would wear or anything. It's really beautiful, and even if it is more yellow than it looks online it's still very attractive and definitely worth checking out.
Amazing... And yes who's cherry cola fingers are those x x
