Revlon Top Speed Cherry and OPI Gettin' Miss Piggy With It

Today, I was in a red mood.  Usually, I don't like most reds because they always seem to stain no matter what base coat I use!!  I used 3 coats of Revlon Top Speed Cherry.  I really like all of the Revlon Top Speed polishes, but Cherry seemed to be thick but at the same time it wasn't very opaque.  It was hard to work with so I put two drops Orly Nail Polish Thinner in and it made it much easier and reached full opacity after 3 coats.

As much as I don't like most reds on my own fingers, this is a beautiful color!  It seemed a little plain though, sort of like it was missing something.. so I added one coat of OPI Gettin' Miss Piggy With It from OPI's Muppet's collection!!  I love love love the polishes in the Muppet's collection and I can't wait to show you guys more from the collection later on!  But for now, here is Gettin' Miss Piggy With It  over Cherry:


Once I was completely finished- I realized how much this mani reminds me of Minnie Mouse!!  I love it!!

OPI Just Spotted the Lizard

Just Spotted the Lizard is from OPI’s Amazing Spiderman collection and is a pretty great polish.  When I first saw this polish I just knew that I had to have it!!  It is sort of a metallic/chrome multi-tone polish with colors of green, bronze, and gold, and a smidge of blue in it. My pictures don’t do this polish justice as it looks different depending on the lighting and angle, in some lighting it’s a bronze-green to a gold-green and in certain lighting you can see a tiny bit of blue in it. 

When it comes to application, it was a breeze!  My two coats of Just Spotted the Lizard went on smoothly, however I had just a couple very small bubbles and when it’s still wet, you can sort of see the brush strokes but once it dries and you put a top coat on they aren’t noticeable unless you’re really looking for them.  All-in-all, I'm happy with the color. 





There are some polishes similar to this one (such as Chanel Peridot and Topshops Hidden Treasure) and I strongly recommend buying this polish if you don’t already have one like it in your collection!  Happy polishing!
