OPI DS Topcoat Review

After the fiasco that is OPI's regular topcoat I tried this one in hopes of it being better. I got this one for free with a DS polish that I really love. This topcoat is ok. It dries faster than the regular topcoat, but I found that it chipped a lot faster. I had serious chipping within a day of wearing it, and I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary that would make it chip faster. All in all I will finish it up, but I wouldn't get this again unless it was free with a polish that I had to have.

Essie Matte about you - Matte Finisher

Hi ladies,


Are you tired of glossy nails? Matte is the "IN" thing now. As you may have noticed, OPI has just launch OPI Matte Collection. Personally I have not try any Matte nail polish YET. I have been reading about Essie Matte about you and want to try them so badly! Initially, 8ty8beauty don't plan to bring in afraid that the demand is low. After pestering for so many times, they finally have it! yay!!!


So what is so special about Essie Matte about you? Well, instead of buying individual Matte nail polish, i rather buy this "top coat" to change any of my nail colors to Matte! Sounds cool right?

Here's the description about the product from http://www.essie.com/

I instantly fall in love when i saw the reviews from Scrangie. Here's some of the pictures:

After applying Essie Matte About You

Now taking in orders though my spree at

SGD$14.00 each!!

(Essie website is selling USD$10.00)

Yay For Hauling!

Hey everyone! Today I am sharing my nail haul from the past couple of weeks. I got lots and I am already in the process of swatching! I got 2 Sinful Colors glitters; Pearl Harbor and Hottie, the Essie Matte About You Topcoat (last one in the store!), OPI Brights Power, Green-wich Village, Bogota Blackberry, and Russian Navy. I can't wait to create new fun looks with the glitters and matte top coat! Reviews will be up later in the week for most of these!

DIY Satin Finish!

Ok, so last night I was doing a french mani because I felt like it; I haven't done one in awhile. Now I have places to go and things to do, so I was blowing on my nails in a futile attempt to get it to dry faster, and I looked down and my nails were not very shiny! How cool is that? So I used a different top coat on my other hand and it worked too!

Now on the hand pictured I used my Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Strengthening Top Coat. It is a thicker top coat. On the other hand I used my OPI Top Coat, and with this one it did not work as well as the Sally Hansen. I think that the key to this is the thickness of the top coat, so pile the top coat on!

Now what I did was blow warm air onto my nails while moving them back and forth, and it fogs up the top coat. The fog stays in the top coat when it dries; thus it imitates a satin finish. It is not matte in my as some light still reflects and it doesn't look chalky. So I am calling the finish satin. Now this doesn't last forever; it started to fade after a few hours. But, I found that blowing on the hand with the Sally Hansen refreshed it; such was not the case with the OPI.

Sooo....are you going to try this? If you do, please let me know how it goes! Tell me what top coat you used, and if it even worked for you. I would love to know! Oh, here is the picture with the mani glossy so that you can see the difference. I used OPI You Don't Know Jacques as the nail color and OPI Bogota Blackberry as the tip color.

Nail Art: Elegant Nails

I love how this turned out, it is so elegant and classy! I was inspired by the recent "pointed tips" trend in the blogger community and I doubt that this is new, but I was really excited to try it. It was very easy to freehand as well! I used OPI Tutti Frutti Tonga as a base color, OPI Alpine Snow and OPI Black Onyx. Enjoy!

OPI Sea? I Told You!

This is such a fun color! OPI Sea? I Told You! came out with the summer collection this year. It is a sparkley sky blue with a green undertone; it really reminds me of the ocean. It applies really well in 2-3 coats and is a really great summer color, plus I got it on clearance! Yay discounts! Do you have this color and do you like it?

NOTD: My Private Jet Holographic Goodness!

I was going to do nail art with this nail; but it's too pretty to ruin! Look at that sparkle! I put OPI Black Onyx under OPI My Private Jet to get a darker effect. I love this NOTD! It is a great way to wear black nail polish without looking harsh or gothic (if that is not the look you are going for)!

OPI DS Reflection

Today I am reviewing OPI's Designer Series polish in Reflection. I got it on sale at Trade Secret for the price of a regular OPI Polish (the DS ones are $12.50) with a DS Top Coat. This is a gorgeous color; it's a light red with holo magenta glitter. It is pretty in the sun but my camera wasn't feeling like capturing the full effect. I want to put this over Big Apple Red to see if I can get it to show a bit redder. This polish dries quickly, but it also chips quickly, I had chips within two days. It is still gorgeous though! Have you tried any of the DS polishes? Did you like them?

OPI My Private Jet

This is a review for the much loved My Private Jet. It is a dark grey holographic polish with rainbow glitter that isn't a part of the OPI Designer Series, so it doesn't cost $4 more than a regular OPI polish.

The first picture isn't that great, I tried to capture the holo qualities of the polish but didn't. I did manage to capture the rainbow qualities of the polish, although the picture doesn't do the polish justice.

Something that I love about this polish is how different it looks inside from outside. It's like you changed your mani as you crossed the threshold of the door! Inside the polish looks like silver glitter, which is really cool! I love this polish and will be sporting it often this fall and winter!

Nail Art: Jagged Fuchsia

Sorry, this nail art was kind of a fail. I meant for the lines to be much thinner and prettier, but they look all gruff and manly. It doesn't look great, and thus I took it off after a day of wearing it. I used OPI Fuchsia Fling as a base color and OPI Black Onyx as the lines. Sorry I sucked at this one ladies, but I feel as though I must post my failures to help me improve, do you know what I mean?

OPI Fuchsia Fling Review

Sorry my update took so long, I was moving to another state for school today! :) Anywho, today I am reviewing OPI Fuchsia Fling, which is a Trade Secret Exclusive. It is like Flashbulb Fuchsia, only in a creme finish. It is your average fuchsia/drak hot pink color. It applies very well in two coats and is very opaque. The drying time is ok, much like other OPI's.

Like in the picture, it does apply darker than what is in the bottle. It is still very pretty and bright! Plus if you are near a Trade Secret, go get this now because it is on sale for 30% off!

Thoughts On: OPI Colleccion de Espana

This collection is the big OPI Fall collection for 2009. Usually I really like OPI's fall collections (France anyone?) but this one isn't as interesting to me. I am not going to post a picture of them because I don't own all of them and if you don't know what they look like you can go to almost any other nail blog and see.

Anyway, I was disappointed with the color selection of this collection. A lot of the colors look really similar; am I the only one who noticed this? And there are so many bright colors, I thought that summer was over! This collection is mainly really bright colors and almost black colors. Most of them are cremes, which I do really like (I save the sparkles for summer and winter).

I only ended up getting one polish from this collection, Here Today Aragon Tomorrow (I love that name) which you can see the swatch and review of in the previous post. Did you like this collection? Were you as unimpressed as I was? Leave a comment with your thoughts!

OPI Here Today Aragon Tomorrow

This is my swatch of this polish from OPI's most recent collection, Espana. This was the only polish that I bought from this collection, and I will tell you why tomorrow. It is almost black in the bottle with a slight tinge of green. But when you put it on your nails it looks more green. I really like this color for fall, and I think that it will work for my toes during the holiday season. This applies a bit sheer, it took three coats to get it to the point in the picture. It goes on pretty smoothly though and looks nice. All in all I like this polish, and I think that it could be a great alternative to black if you want to pull off dark nails but you think that black looks too harsh.

Nail Art: Cute As A Button

I really didn't know what else to call it, it reminds me of a coat? I do think however that the colors look super pretty together; I used OPI Kreme de la Kremlin and You Don't Know Jacques! for this look. I ended up taking it off later. Maybe I should do rhinstones instead of dots next time; that would be fun!

OPI Kreme de la Kremlin

This color is gorgeous! It's like a pink with a tinge of brown, very classy. It is a creme finish so there are no sparkles or glitters, making a very wearable and work-appropriate polish. It applies very smoothly and evenly and doesn't chip for several days. I think that this will be a great pink for wearing as the season changes to fall because it is a very muted color. I love this color, and I go the last one in the store! It was destiny!

8ty8beauty spree #25 - CLOSED

How To Clean Nail Polish Out of Carpet

Opaqueness, short drying time, and being long lasting are much sought after qualities in nail polish; but these are not the qualities that you want in nail polish when you spill it all over your carpet.

I really didn't know what to do after I spilled dark blue glittery nail pollish all over beige carpet. I did a search on Google and the first rule is to keep it wet! As long as that nail polish is not dry, you can still get it out., and it gives you thinking time. Be sure to keep it wet even after you got the polish out; you always miss spots when you are panicking! You need to really soak the spots, especially the small ones as they dry faster. You can always blot the water out later.

I tried everything to get the nail polish out of the carpet; acetone, non-acetone nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, oxyclean, and scrubbing. The only thing that worked was scrubbing. I scrubbed all of the stains with an old rag for well over two hours; but it all came out. It seems that different things work for different nail polishes, but the thing that will get it out for sure is scrubbing your heart out. It takes forever, but it is better than having that stain haunt you or replacing the carpet.

The picture is of my nails post cleaning. I was in the middle of doing my nails when the polish spilled and they were ruined, but needless to say I didn't redo them that night!

The Great Polish Spill of '09

So I was painting my nails on my bed after I had gone to the optometrist and gotten my eyes dilated. So I did my nails in the dark, although I could see pretty well. Yet one minute I had nail polish sitting on a shoebox on my bed, and the next thing I know it is flying off of the bed onto the floor in slowmotion.

I had spilled my new OPI Sea? I Told You! all over my carpet and comforter. My light beige carpet and dark red comforter. (Pictured is only a small portion of the spill, I didn't have time to take a picture of the carpet.) The light beige carpet that is impossible to clean because it is cut so short and is stain retaining. There are still dog poop stains in other rooms that won't lift. I absolutely panicked, this is my parent's carpet, I would be killed!

So I had to make a decision; save the carpet or the comforter. I think that I made the right choice in saving the carpet. After recieving no governmental assistance after the horrible disaster, I searched Google on ways to clean the carpet, and after two and a half hours I got it all out! This can't be said for the comforter though, who is still under work for getting the nail polish out. No worries, the carpet is fine, hooray! Tomorrow's post will be on how to clean the carpet of nail polish. I hope that you got a laugh out of my embarrassment! Remember, never do your nails in the dark, even if your eyes are dilated! :)

In My Defense Some of It Was On Sale!

Hello everyone! Today I am sharing my Trade Secret OPI Haul! Yeah, I got a lot; but some of these were 30% off! I got OPI DS Top Coat (packaged with the other DS), Kreme de la Kremlin, Fuchsia Fling (Trade Secret Exclusive), DS Reflection, Sea? I Told You!, My Private Jet, and Here Today, Aragon Tomorrow. Swatches and reviews will be up in the coming weeks. The DS was a super good deal, I got it for the price of a regular OPI (they normally retail at $12.50) with the top coat. I don't know if this is a different one than the regular OPI top coat, I think from looking at it that it is. It does have a pretty handle though!

OPI Alpine Snow

This is a stark, cream white nail polish. I find that this is great for nail art; it's okay for the nails though. It goes on a bit streaky and I am not a fan of plain stark white polish on my nails. It applies opaque in about two coats. I usually just use this to decorate my nails as you have seen in previous posts. All in all I really like it, but it is very dupable and can probably be found in almost any brand.

Nail Art: Dark French

Hey everyone! This is my manicure for the day, a dark french manicure! And I got the lines straight, hooray! I really like it, it is perfect for fall and it is a slightly different twis on a French manicure. I used OPI You Don't Know Jacques as a base color and OPI Black Onyx as the tip color! I hope you like them!

8ty8beauty spree #25 - Slots filling up fast! Hurry~

**Pls also check your emails as some may gone to bulk/junk mail folder.

Thank you ladies and happy spree-ing!

OPI Black Onyx

This is a perfect classic creme black. Everyone should have a creme black in their collection regardless of brand, and this would be a great choice for that! It applies opaque in two coats, goes on evenly and smoothy, and is very,very black. Please excuse the messy nails; I was in a hurry and you couldn't notice the mess unless you were looking closely at my nails. Is the lighting better in this picture? I think so, but let me know what you think. All in all great polish, and I will probably use it a lot this fall and winter!

Thoughts On: Fall Matte Trend

There is a huge trend coming through nail polish right now; every company that makes polish seems to be making their own matte nail polishes including Zoya, Nubar, OPI, Essie, and many others. These companies seem to be approaching the trend from two directions, either matte colors like Zoya and OPI, or a mattifying top coat like Nubar and Essie.

The matte polishes themselves from reviews that I have read are hard to work with. As someone who sucks at applying nail polish; these aren't for me. They show every mistake you make, and with many of them you can't use a base coat, drying products, or hand lotion with them. They also chip easily.

The matte top coat seems like a better way to go. You can turn any nail polish into a matte nail polish, so you don't have buy ten matte polishes, only one top coat! This way seems far more cost effective, and it would be easier to work with. You can also use a base coat, and the Essie matte top coat claims that you can use hand lotion with it.

All in all I like the idea of the matte trend, I think that it is a fun way to wear nail polish. Although I am a big OPI person; I will be getting the Essie Matte About You Top Coat to turn my existing polishes into a matte finish. This is my choice, and I am not telling anybody to go buy a certain product or to even particpate in the trend. What do you all think of the matte trend? Are you going to rock it?

I Know That This is SUPER Cheesy.....

...but, it has to be said! I want to extend a HUGE thank you to Brooke from Getcha Nails Did for giving me exposure to all of her readers in her recent New Blog on the Block post. I really appreciate it, it absolutely made my day! My readership has almost doubled in the past sixteen hours! I was shocked when I checked my blog this morning, not to mention that I now follow a lot of the other blogs listed in that post!

To all of my brand new followers, well thank you for following me! I hope that you enjoy the blog; I update everyday! I hope that my blog holds your interest and that you enjoy it, and I love comments!

To all of my other followers, thank you for sticking with me! I love checking your comments and seeing all of the really nice things that you have to say! It really makes my day brighter to know that I am helping you with my reviews and posts and that you are enjoying them!

I am curious though...is there anything else that you would like to see? Are there other kinds of posts that you would like to see from me? Are there any types of posts that you aren't a big fan of? Am I doing anything wrong? Let me know! I am always open to suggestions and tips! I love you all, and enjoy the blog! :)

Nail Art: Pink Leopard Print

Aren’t these cute? I love these nails; I think that they turned out really well! I used OPI Tutti Frutti Tonga as the base color (OPI Alpine Snow as a base to make the color more opaque), Sinful Colors Jamboree as the dark pink dots and OPI Black Onyx as the outlines. Do you like them too?

OPI You Don't Know Jacques!

Why did it take me so long to hop on this bandwagon? I love this color, it's like it can't decide what color it is. It looks brown against grey and grey against brown! It is really pretty unique and I love it! I will probably be wearing this a lot in the fall.

It applies just like any good OPI nail polish does, it is opaque in two coats and smooth as glass. Dries very quickly too, I acciddently bumped my hand on a table and I thought, "Crap, I dented my nail!" Ok, there were a few explicatives in their too.... Anyway, I looked at my nails to see the damage and there was none! Yay! This color is available at the moment in the glossy creme and a matte version. They will soon come out with a satin version as well.

Sinful Colors: Jamboree

Ah finally, the last of my Sinful Colors nail polishes! This one is called Jamboree, it is a very dark hot pink creme color. It has a duochromey undertone of violet that makes this polish pretty unique. It is quite opaque and goes on nicely in two thin coats. This one does chip a bit and can stain the nails though, so be sure to use a base coat with it! I like it overall, it is a nice quality for a lower priced nail polish.

If you live in the states or anywhere near a Walgreens this line is worth checking out!

OPI Top Coat

I got this topcoat for free for buying two OPI nail polishes at Ulta, and I must say that if I had bought this I would have been really disappointed.

It's not a bad topcoat overall, it gives a thin, shiny finish and is alright about helping to keep my polish from chipping. It is the drying time that sucks. The first time I used it, I got bedsheet marks. I do my nails right before I go to bed, and I have never gotten bedsheet marks from my Sally Hansen top coat. The next times that I have used it, I have needed to give it at least a half hour to dry.

Don't get me wrong, I like this top coat better for nail art because it isn't too thick like the Sally Hansen is. I will use this up, but I will never buy it again.

Nail Art: French Manicure

Today I am wearing an average french manicure. It is a bit hard for me to do since I don't have long nails; it is difficult to get the lines straight! I am using OPI Tutti Frutti Tonga as the nail color and OPI Alpine Snow as the tip color. I know that it looks a little strange because my nails are at uneven lengths right now so please bear with me! I like this look but I am pretty sure that I will only wear it to weddings and other special occasions that force me to be elegant.

OPI Melon of Troy

This is a swatch and review of one of my newest polishes, OPI's Melon of Troy. It is a pretty frosty orange coral color that is great for summer. I find that the color changes drastically depending on the lighting though. When I first got it I thought that it was the wrong color beccause it looked too dark, but it was right! You'll notice in my haul picture (a couple of posts down) it looks like a dark orange. I have no idea why it does this.

This polish is a little sheer but goes on completely opaque in three coats. The drying time was alright, but it doesn't dry as fast as the cream textures do. Not too bad though. Overall I really like this polish and have a feeling that I will wear it a lot when next spring rolls around!
