Some nail polish porn for Tuesday morning:
OPI's Black Satin, Black Tie Optional and Take it for Granite.
Black Tie Optional is a deep black eggplant with a copper-like shimmer. It takes two to three coats to get the right shade. Black Tie has a great sheen that lasts well. Looks like a fresh manicure throughout a rough work week!
This polish looks best in the sunlight. It shimmers with a great fire of greens and ambers.
One of OPI's best polishes.
Take it for Granite is a shimmery gun metal gray. Very pretty and perfect for the winter months in Ohio.
Anyone try these?
What do you think?

OPI's Black Satin is sadly discontinued. Shucks! I missed that one, A.
But I will look for Black Tie Optional and TitFG. I hope they are not discontinued.
All of these colors look great!
I love nail polish almost as much (but not quite as much) as I love fragrance. :):)
Hugs!

A, one more thought: OPI tends to "re-cycle" its colors. Inspired by this lovely post, I went out this afternoon to visit a local beauty supply store. I purchased their new Sapphire from the Designer Series collection. I swear it looks like a cross between Black Satin and Black Tie Optional.
Have you noticed this with OPI? I purchased a mini-bottle of a beautiful brown/copper shimmery color three or four years ago. Now it's the ever-popular Romeo and Joliet.
Hugs!

Violetnoir: I will have to check out this Sapphire!!!
I know that OPI has the same habit as MAC with recycling(but with a twist) colors.
Griffie: If we come up next week...please bring it. We might be visiting for that sale. *wink*
With all the metallics and shine seen on the S/S 2007 runways, this colour will be good for a while....
love the blog btw. you've been linked, do you mind doing the same? :)

anyone seen the new wet n wild rock star NPs. never tried theirs, but there is one called Emerald which is , not green, but an amazing bright, super (fine)glittery unreal sparkler purple. I think i may get this one, but I so don't need more np. i don't polish as much as used to.
PS anyone here going to the fall sniffa next week??? am thinking on it, really want to
Adrian: I will link soon.
It has been a while since I updated my links. I wish I was better at this. I feel like I am so behind on emails and link add ons.
D: I have not but I am passing this on to dramaqueenie2. She loves greens.
I am not attending the sniffa. Have an amazing time and let us know what you caved on! If you go to Bond smell Westside....it is MAGNIFICENT!!!!!! I am beyond smitten.
BEYOND!
