Dose of Lola






2 coats

OPI Miss You-niverse is a dusty eggplant creme that is perfect for the season. It is almost a one-coater, and the finish is so shiny and smooth. It's been a while since I've been impressed with an OPI shade, so I'm extra pleased with Miss You-niverse.



It stamps pretty well, too.

I'm going to see Sara Bareilles in concert today! This mani was inspired by the colors of her Blessed Unrest album.








So excited!

Nails Inc Baker Street is a fabulous cobalt creme. The color is so saturated and vibrant, which is why I think so many people love it. It also doesn't hurt that the formula is near perfection. Two coats that went on with no fuss.

might green polish swatch fiver
3 coats

Butter London Fiver is light mint creme. It's by far my favorite from the Spring 2013 collection. Application wasn't perfect, but it was manageable. The formula was on the thin side, and it took three coats to get a smooth finish.



I wore Fiver for a full week and added a gradient when I started getting tipwear. I used Nails Inc. Royal Botanical Gardens.

Nails Ince Soho Mews tan texture nail polish
2 coats



Nails Inc. Soho Mews is a lovely shade of tan. For me, that's where the loveliness ends. Textured polish without any sparkle just looks gross to me. Soho Mews certainly doesn't look like any leather I own. I gave it a shot, and I'm now positive I won't be purchasing anymore of this particular finish.



I'd love this color in a creme finish. Any recs?





Nails Inc. Soho Mews retails for $12 and is available at Sephora inside JCP.

Nails Inc. Royal Botanical Gardens is the perfect mint green creme. It's not too yellow or too blue. It is just mint perfection.








2 coats

Nails Inc. Chelsea Physic Garden is a sky blue creme. I love that it's pastel, but it has a nice vibrancy to it.






2 coats

Nails Inc. Kensington Palace Gardens is a salmon pink creme. We already know how I feel about shades like this. I can never have too many. If you like this one, a cheaper alternative may be Finger Paints Gimme Some Sugar, it's just slightly pinker.






2 coats

Yes, it's labeled incorrectly. This is why I shouldn't label photos without the bottles in front of me. My guesses are always incorrect.





The formula on these is quite nice. They went on a little streaky but self-leveled quickly. They're also quite shiny without top coat.





Nails Inc. Trend Shades retail for $9.50 and are available at Sephora. There is a fourth polish (a red) in this collection, but I have yet to see it available in the U.S.

About me

As a kid, while everyone else was collecting Pokemon cards, I was collecting Bonne Bell Lip Smackers. My addiction to lip balm evolved into an addiction to all things beauty – from makeup to hair to nail polish.
