Steady As She Rose by OPI is a cool dusty, greyish rose with strong lilac undertones, not much rose as the name implies but my eyes pick up more of the lilac. I enjoyed wearing this, it’s a very subtle polish that delivers a very nice and neat looking mani.
I used three coats, the formula was consistent and smooth and dried fairly quickly. This one is one of my favourites out of the Pirates of The Caribbean Collection.

Bubble Bath from OPI is one of my favourite nude / light pink polishes. It is clean, sheer and glossy. Looks amazing as a French mani. It glistens in the sun, makes nails look healthy and can also be used as a base coat. When I am feeling like something basic or demure this is definitely one of the polishes that I reach for.
I used three coats for these pictures.

Sweet Pleasure from Misa is a nude jelly based polish with a blue micro-shimmer. Extremely sheer, the natural nail shows through even after three heavy coats. Quite nice, I might try this again as a top coat over something else.
Update 29th September 2012 I used Misa Sweet Pleasure over Rimmel’s Black Cherries, now you can really see the blue shimmer:

OPI – Care To Danse? from the New York City Ballet Collection appears to be a very light lavender in the bottle yet once applied to the nails it comes off as a white with hints of pinkish lavender. This one is very, very sheer, I used three coats and am happy with the results, makes me nails look neat and tidy.

OPI – You Callin’ Me A Lyre? is a sheer pink jelly polish from the 2012 New York City Ballet Collection. Nothing new really, nice and sweet nonetheless.
I used three coats for this mani, this jelly formula is good, no streaking!

Color Club – Sun N’ Fun is a very sheer nude with hints of pink. Looks great with two or three coats as a bit of a glammed up French. I used four coats to get the look in the images. The formula is smooth and dries really quickly. In the sun you can see the shimmery pink and orange flecks.

OPI – Pink-ing Of You is a light pastel pink and is one of my all time favourite pinks. I seem to have many favourite pinks and while I don’t usually wear this color in clothing I cannot get enough in polish, this pink is awesome! I achieved opacity after three coats. The formula is nice enough for a cream base, but the color is just great! Makes me feel very feminine and cute and I am not a cute kind of girl at all, lol.
Major Barbie memories from my childhood flashed before my eyes as I wore this polish throughout the day, and while this is not exactly Barbie pink, it is the type of light pink variation that good old Barbs sometimes wore.

Revlon’s Popular is a re-release of what was previously known as Starry Pink. This is a unique, pretty light baby pink with silver micro glitter and larger silver hexagonal glitter. This has a very milky look to it, must be the baby pink over the silver glitter which creates that strange effect. I think this is quite a cute polish for when you want something a little bit different but not too out there.
I used two coats for this mani.

Natio Rosy Glow is a pretty baby pink nail polish color, very nice and girly, a pretty cupcake pink. Streaky with some little air bubbles. Need at least three coats for full opacity, although some streaking still visible. But the color is right down my alley, I love this type of pink, so beautiful.

Natio Nude Shimmer from the Lights & Brights Collection. A nice beigy nude, very opaque and no shimmer as far as my eye could tell. I enjoyed this polish, every time I looked down at my hand I would think of mannequins hands with their all over beige-ness.
Two coats and still streaky.
Three coats, in natural light.
