My first Butter polish

I'm still holding on when it comes to the no-buy, I don't go near polish because the flesh is weak!

This is Butter Jaffa. I had pictures without the stamp, but they were even more blurry than these 2 and not so great.

2 coats stamped with Nina Ultra Pro Smoke-N-Mirrors.
It's a lot brighter in real life, looks more orange on me than I would have suspected.

After 2 days at work there's only a little bit of tip wear. In all, I think it is a pretty polish, but it's not a forgiving formula for people with shaky hands like me! There were some bald spots from using too much pressure on the brush. I think I'll save my $14 until I see some unique color that I MUST HAVE.

My no-buy ends on August 1. I am dying to get my hands on Zoya Penny, Trixie, a matte topcoat, Nfu-Oh 61, and Gosh Holographic. Poor poor bank account...

OPI My Chihuahua Bites

Take a gander at my first foray into corals! With a name like "My Chihuahua Bites" you can't go wrong.

In real life, this leans hot pink on me. 
I'm on the fence about it because it comes off as "Real Housewives of Orange County" to me.
But it may also be because I feel like this is a perfect summer color.

I went to my very first Yankee game! The Padre and I had a great time, it was really windy though so we had to break down and buy long sleeved shirts from the merchandise store. Hooray for memorabilia!
Beautiful stadium right? It's still pretty new, and it was the perfect weather to see a baseball game.

The OPI applied nicely, opaque in 2 coats but I made it three. I did work an overnight last night so the tip wear was prominent. I don't tend to wear any bright colors so I might just be a little antsy about taking that leap. I'll try it again when I go to the beach!
