opi jinx (bond girls)

opi's summer of 2014 bond girls collection consisted only of liquid sand polishes. i got three, and  after honey ryder and solitaire, i am showing jinx.

opi's description: " this mesmerizing matte coral has lucky sparkle. " when i was watching promo pictures, and then swatches from other bloggers, jinx became my surprising favorite. i'm repeating myself, but corals, peaches and similar shades were never my cup of tea, but jinx somehow mesmerised me!

when i got it, somehow it looked too intense, too flashy, too...much. but then, i finally had it on my nails and it was complete love. this bright orangy coral with golden shimmer practically screams summer! it looks amazing, dries quickly and you can remove it regularly like any other polish. i caught myself often staring at my nails.

dior waterlilly (garden party)

star of the day is dior's waterlilly, from the garden party collection for spring 2011.


when this collection came out, i still wasn't into high end nail polishes, but i quickly realized i really wanted this one. luckily,  i managed to find one lonely bottle!

it is more pastel and minty than my typically favourite green shades, but this is what makes it unique in my overwhelmingly green stash. the microshimmer is gorgeous and denser than usually, making it almost iridescent. i really love this one, it so springy and fun!
