Comparison - Simply Smashing and Gleek Out.
Here is a comparison that I did a while ago... Sephora by OPI - Gleek Out (from the Glee Collection) and OPI - Simply Smashing (from the Serena Williams Collection). Close, but not dupes! Can I justify having both? You know I can! Gleek Out leans more green while Simply Smashing has a bit more yellow to it. Reminds me of a sparkly tennis ball! But, then again, I’m sure that’s what Serena was going for. Love them both!

Glee Season Finale!
Tonight is the Season Finale of Glee... So, I did a mani for the occasion.
The black polish that I used for the music notes smeared when I put the top coat on. Grrrr.... but, I wasn’t about to take it all off and do it again! It’s not too noticeable in real life but, you can see it when it's zoomed in. (sigh).

What a disappointment...
On a recent trip out to civilization I was so happy to find a bottle of Guy meets Gal-Veston by OPI. It had been on my wish list since I first saw swatches of it on the blogs. As you can probably guess, it’s not easy to get nail polish up here in the arctic, so when I saw one lonely bottle of GMGV on the Spa shelf, I gladly forked over the 12 dollars that they were asking for it and went on my merry way. The entire week that I was on holiday, I couldn’t wait to use it and see what the new "sorbet" finish was all about. Once I got home and pulled it out I was immediately let down. It applied smoothly, but it looked like tinted water. After 4 coats I still had a terrible visable nail line. So, I ended up taking it off and starting again. I layered it over another polish that I had of the same shade (Avon Mambo Melon). As I was layering it I thought to myself, “how stupid is this? Layering one color of the same shade over another. Did I really pay 12 dollars for this? Sigh...”
So, here it is... layered. Such a disappointment, OPI.
