I already mentioned this nude polish several days ago. That time I wanted to swatch it, but couldn’t open the bottle :( Dennis came home and the problem was solved, but it was too late anyway. So here it is now – Canberra’t Without You from OPI Australia collection of Spring 2007:

Last summer when I was looking for legwarmers to wear with my white shorts and light pink sandals, I stumbled upon a small knitting shop at the local mall. There I saw a yarn of the color I really liked, and I though it would be great to knit a pair of legwarmers with it. I am not an experienced knitter, but I know some basic stiches and I can knit simple things like scarves or hand/leg warmers. So long story short, I bought the yarn.
Today, when I painted my nails with Essence #75 Princess Prunella I noticed how nice they go together :)

I woke up this morning with the idea to do a natural mani with a nude nail polish. So I removed yesterday’s Pixie Dust, took a good look into my polish box and took out an oldie – OPI Canberra’t Without You. BUT: I couldn’t open it! I tried really hard again and again, I even put it in hot water, but it was all in vain :(
I felt like that squirrel in the Ice Age movie, who wanted the nut so badly, but couldn’t open it lol After several tries I gave up and decided to wait for Dennis to come home from work and help me.

So no Canberra for today, instead I’ll show you another sheer pink shade called Fist Blush from Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear line:

Russian Navy – OPI NL R54

February 7th, 2012 | Posted by Mari in Nail Polish Swatches - (2 Comments)

Russian Navy is from the OPI Russian collection for Fall/Winter 2007. As far as I know, now it’s a part of the OPI Classic colors and recently it’s been included in the OPI Best of the Best mini set. I have a soft spot for deep blue nail polishes, that’s why I had to buy a full-sized bottle of this truly magical color :)

Today’s post is all about pink :) I’m wearing Twisted Pink from Sally Hansen’s Xtreme Wear line. They say pink nail polishes are best suited to months when the flowers grow… and look what I have! Gerberas!
Gerbera’s my most favorite flower, I love their vibrant colors and simplistic yet exotic form, but I love them even more when they are from him ♥
