Is this spring or fall we're dealing with? I'm sure you've seen some swatches from the newest OPI collection for fall inspired by Venice. Read on to see what I chose from the collection.

Hi guys! Sorry I didn't post yesterday, but my parents were around so I decided to just take another day off and start out the week with a post instead. It's been so dreary and rainy here lately. The best part? It's supposed to rain all week. Blah. The only bright part of my day has been painting my nails. Check out some swatches of recently released Rainbow Honey polishes after the break.

Right on the Nail ~ Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Review and Swatches: Strumpet
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Strumpet (2 coats)
TGIF! Tonight I have a quick post of a polish that I bought on sale from Sephora. I believe that Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics (OCC) is being phased out at Sephora, but you can still buy them for $10 on their website and Nordstrom. Strumpet is a berry plum creme that had the best formula I've used in a long time. No, really. It was amazingly smooth in 2 coats and was quick to dry. It's not the most unique color, but the application makes me want to use it again.

Tonight we'll finish up the Zoya Focus collection to finally move on to new fall collections that have been popping up everywhere. Follow me after the break to see the last swatches.

Right on the Nail ~ Reverie Nail Lacquer Swatches and Reviews: Open Water and Rosebud
Reverie Nail Lacquer Open Water (3 coats)
Reverie Nail Lacquer Rosebud (3 coats)
Who's ready for a long weekend? This gal! Things have been pretty crazy at work lately (but when isn't it?) so I'm ready for an extra day off. Be on the lookout this weekend for some great Labor Day sales!
Tonight I have the final 2 colors I bought from Reverie Nail Lacquer. Being a scientist, I've been fortunate enough to visit some awesome places. I just so happened to visit parts of the ocean that aren't often explored (I crossed the equator on at boat!) and got to see some true open water, and it is as brilliant as you'd imagine. The polish Open Water captures this perfectly with this sheer jelly color packed with circular and hexagonal glitter. The hints of red and yellow glitter are great pops of color as well. Being a jelly it is sheer, but the glitter helps cover any visible nail line that remains after 3 coats. I found that this one had the best formula of the 4.
And finally, we have Rosebud which is so complex. I usually try and take a stab at describing polishes, but I think Reverie said it best by stating that it's a "ruby jelly base loaded with shimmer, flakies, microglitters, and tons of red and pastel mint, pink, orange, and yellow glitters in hex and circle shapes." Whew! Get all that? It's beautiful, but also the biggest pain to apply. I would recommend some polish thinner and extra time between coats. Photo show 3 coats.
I believe their polishes normal cost around $8 and you can find Reverie Nail Lacquer on their Etsy page, Instagram, and Facebook pages.

Right on the Nail ~ Reverie Nail Lacquer Swatches and Reviews: Dog Days and Lily Pads
Reverie Nail Lacquer Dog Days (3 coats)
Review Nail Lacquer Lily Pads (3 coats)
Hello hello! Tonight I have a few swatches from one of my favorite indie brands called Reverie Nail Lacquer. If you are interested in buying any of the ones I'm showing you tonight, rest assured that Reverie is still around and will be back with some fall pretties in a few weeks.
I ended up buying 4 colors from their 4th of July sale and I pretty much love all of them. First I have Dog Days which is pale blue crelly with yellow and blue hexagonal glitters. Reverie is most known for their jellies with intense glitters, so Dog Days is a bit of a rarity. Since there is so much glitter in there, I had a bit of an issue with the application because it was extremely thick. I used some nail polish thinner (bought from Sally's Beauty Supply) and it was as good as new. I used 3 coats, and I would wait an extra couple of minutes between coats to make sure you don't get too much dragging of glitters.
I can only assume that the second color called Lily Pads was inspired by some of Monet's paintings (which are some of my favorites.) It's a blue/green jelly base with tons of hexagonal and circle glitter. Name a color and it's probably in here. The major glitter colors are blue and green with accents of orange, red, white and yellow. It's such a busy polish, but I love it! I can see how it may not be everyone's cup of tea, and I'm totally fine with that. The formula was also thick on this one, but not as much as Dog Days. You may still want to add a couple drops of thinner if the first nail gives you trouble.
I believe their polishes normal cost around $8 and you can find Reverie Nail Lacquer on their Etsy page, Instagram, and Facebook pages.
