NOTW Thursdays | Fool's Gold


It's been a while since I've done an NOTW and since I love my current nail polish so much I decided to get off my lazy butt and take some pictures. This nail was found simply by chance when I was at Target one day, literally speed walking through just looking for one thing. I zoomed through the makeup section and found nothing that caught my eye but then I passed this huge table just filled with discounted nail polishes from OPI to Essie to Sally Hansen, you name it. I didn't have a lot of time to look through the massive pile so I kinda shuffled the top layers a bit until I found ones that caught my eye. This guy was discount to around $3-$4.

The name is A Phil's Paradise and it's made by Nicole by OPI for the Modern Family collection. Gonna admit I've never watched a single episode of the show but I heard they're pretty funny and the nail polish collection is a hit so far. Also, notice my application has immensely improved? Ehhh ehhh. Skills.

NOTD Sunday (!?) | No, It's MY Empire



So obviously something is wrong here if I can't even get an NOTD out on a Friday as I should. My excuse this week is that I had a sleepover Wednesday night to Thursday with my cousin. When I usually paint my nails Wednesdays, I was busy all day and never had a chance to. Then I rushed them on Friday (hence the sloppy mess), and went to work. We had an early meeting so the second I woke up, I ate, did my nails and got ready and then I worked the rest of the weekend. Since Friday is not a good day for me, I'm going to switch it and do NOTD Thursdays now. I think it should be easier.

So anyways, on to this week! I'm using My Empire... My Rules from the Kardashian collection by Nicole by OPI. Honestly, I'm really not a fan of the Kardashians or anything, but I really liked this colour. I went to go look at the rest of the collection and it's very Kardashian, sparkles and bright colours, which surprises me as to why they'd chose a muddy army green to include in their collection. As for the entire collection (which I looked up online), my favourites are All Kendall-ed Up, Sealed With A Kris, and of course my current.

The polish is easy to apply, but is a little bit runny. You'd need a third layer to get a perfect opaque colour (I used two). The brush is large and is really easy to work with but, I wish it was flatter because it's quite round and thick, so it can get a little clumsy when working on the sides of the nails.

Can't say it's a favourite of mine, but it's definitely a good colour to wear when you want to go a little under the radar with your nails. Also, it'd be a beautiful fall colour. I'll try it again when the leaves turn red.

What do you think? Do you own any of the collection or are planning on it?
