OPI I Lily Love You vs Island Girl Mahalo Dream

 These two looked so similar in the bottles that I had to compare them and they are close but not closes enough to be dupes. I Lily Love You is more sheer but is packed with glitter and flakie pieces while Mahaolo Dream has a darker more opaque base but less glitter and flakies. 
 Here is two coats of I Lilly Love You alone, all of the pictures are with no topcoat.  


 This is two coats of Mahalo Dream alone. 


 Here they are, two coats each, next to each other. Mahalo Dream is on my index and ring finger and I Lilly Love You is on my middle and pinky finger. You can clearly see the difference. 


 I also tried layering them over white and black. This is one coat each, ILLY on my index and middle and MD on my ring and pinky. 


 Finally, two coats each layered over white and black. 


 I Lily Love You layered over black reminds me so much of the pictures of outer space. 


 If I had to pick one I would probably go with I Lily Love You just because it is so packed with stuff and I can easily layer it over white or pink to get the pink color or layer it over another color for a nice effect but Mahalo Dream is still beautiful.

Electric Eel

 Hey guys, I think we made about twenty dozen cookies over the weekend, it took forever since we have a tiny oven, and a batch of peanut butter fudge. My arms are so sore, thankfully I have a wonderful husband that helped a lot. 
 Today I have OPI's Electric Eel which is a sheer light green with green shimmer and a pinkish orange duochrome. It is an older polish and has a black label but if you love green and duochrome I suggest picking it up if you can find it. Electric Eel doesn't seem like much in the bottle but layered it is amazing! Here it is on its own, three coats, you can see how sheer it is. 


 Here is one coat of Electric Eel over black. You can definitely see the duochrome with it layered over the black. It shifts colors in different lighting and angle of your nails.   






 Do you have any surprise polishes like Electric Eel?

Wet N Wild 9.0.2.1.Orange

 Just a quick post today, I know I said I was going to try and post every day til Christmas and missed yesterday but we had a Christmas party to go to earlier. Plus, we volunteered to make ten dozen cookies for the military that are here with no family and have to be turned in on Monday so I have been a bit sidetracked. 
 Anyways, today I have Wet N Wild's 9.0.2.1.Orange. It is a beautiful orange with shimmer/glass flake. I used four coats, I didn't notice the nail line in real life, it only showed up in the pictures here but it does start out sheer. 


 Hopefully, I will be back tomorrow or Monday!
