Beauty 2.

Hey guys, at the moment I am working on a gigantic fashion post which is proving quite finicky to upload. It should be up by sometime next week. For now, though, here are some of my favorite nail polishes.

Most of the polishes are from seasonal collections and can now only be purchased through Amazon, so I will include links to similar colors if possible.

First up is OPI Pirates of the Caribbean Collection Steady as She Rose. It looks like this in my noticeably messy bottle:

It is a super pretty rose color and is perfect for Teen Vogue’s Prada nails tutorial:

I am kind of in love with the shade and it is worth getting from Amazon at $7.50 for 0.5 oz.

If you would prefer a shade that is currently in production, shoot for Essie’s Lilacism, which is not a great match, but it is close. That goes for $8.00 a pop at Ulta.

Next up, OPI’s Suzi Take the Wheel, another limited edition polish, which looks like this:

I am aware that the picture does it no justice, but it is a gorgeous gray-green color that is still available at Amazon for $7.27. For a similar shade, check out School of Hard Rocks, which is obviously not the same, but will be available for a while. That goes for $8.00 at Ulta as well.

My third pick is OPI’s Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees, an amazingly complex color that is no longer available in store.

It is super hard to see in the picture, but check out Amazon (where it goes for $5.90) for a better picture. It is difficult to tell, but it is a slightly shimmery, deep purpley charcoal color that reviewers have described as looking like ink. Trust me, it’s gorgeous. For another option, give Essie’s $8 Velvet Voyeur a try (also from Ulta).

And finally, here is a color you can still buy most places: OPI’s Do You Lilac It, a vibrant pastel purple that goes for $9.00 at Ulta. In the bottle, it looks like this:

So give these colors a go! I hope you like them as much as I did!
