OPI Color Paints

Hi my beauties!! I know I haven't been posting lately to this blog but it's with good reason, I've been very active on my YouTube channel. I figured if I want more subs & views I'd better get some material for people to watch. I implore you all to give me a look over there by clicking the link on my latest video http://youtu.be/efR2s6WG1Ow.

So today's mani is bought to you by OPI color paints. I got these as a Mother's Day gift, I like these by itself without the silver base coat; it does nothing for me.

Nail polish brands owned by Women of color

So you know a girl has got to keep her nails did right (hence the purpose of me starting my blog)! Speaking from this podium is a woman who owns probably over 3,000 (last time I peeked) bottles of lacquer, I can tell you that variety is definitely the spice of my life. I always find myself getting caught up in conversations between me, myself and I which consists of "don't I have this color already", but hey who says having a back up (or a few) is against the law!!

Below what I've done is let my fingers do the walking about the WWW to put together a list of nail polish brands that are owned by women of color. You do know that nail polish does not discriminate right, lol!!

Heat Stroke

Hey beauties.....

This mani is from the lost files in my phone with the gazillions of pics I've forgotten about. I know the base color by Sally Hansen is called Heat Stroke, it's a crelly finish. I can't remember the name of the Hard Candy glitter, when I get it I'll update the name; I got it in Walmart.
