Dose of Lola

You'll have to excuse the lack of holo. I gave up trying to get sun pics after day 3 of grey skies!


3 coats


OPI DS Design is a very pretty nude holo, but I'm not sure I love it on me. I think I may prefer DS Classic. As usual, the formula was awesome and dried very quickly.

Whatever color you're seeing on your monitor is probably incorrect. Jo'Mina was so difficult to photograph! It's a very vibrant and richly colored purple cream that is less blue than my pic shows. The formula is awesome! It applies like a dream and was almost opaque in one coat. High five, Illa. :)


Jo'Mina is available on Sephora.com for $14.

From the Summer 2011 collection, Girls Just Want To Have Fun is a stunning coral shade. It's right on the borderline of jelly and creme, very squishy. You may have noticed that I'm kind of a Lippmann hoor, but really, this is a GORGEOUS polish! The formula is perfection (what's new?) and the dry time is faster than most.

108 Degrees is a bright pink with fuchsia flecked shimmer. I feel like I have a lot of shades like this, so I wasn't super excited when I put it on. The formula is thin yet not runny. The brush on mine was super wonky, so I didn't have fun applying this!










T-B: 108 Degrees, Misa Summer Love, 108 Degrees. 3 coats each.





There are only subtle differences between Summer Love and 108 Degrees. Summer Love is a touch warmer, and the shimmer is larger. That's about it.






Not the most unique color but still a great choice for summer!

I couldn't decide what kind of nail art to do for my Easter mani, so I gave up and just went with this:

Holos always save the day. :)

Here's a new shade from the China Glaze Island Escape collection. Since Electric Pineapple is the polish I was most excited about, of course it was the first I swatched!






3 coats





Electric Pineapple is a chartreuse-ish creme. I really like it! It's bright without being garish and doesn't make my hands look like trees, which is always a nice bonus. The formula was on the thin side, but it applied nicely and was opaque in three coats.










T-B: Electric Pineapple, OPI Fiercely Fiona, Electric Pineapple





I thought they may be dupes, but Electric Pineapple has much more green in than Fiercely Fiona. They're different enough to own both, especially if you like weird, yellow-green shades.

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.
