Polishes -OPI - My Address Is Hollywood
oadilemma 2/15/2012 12:47:00 AM
Well, I have to say that I too am really pleased with this colour! I have it on my toes and fingers now and just cant stop looking at it! I am a soft and cool colouring and this is a wonderful match to blush pink. Originally I tried ElePhantastic Pink, but this turned out just a tad too bright for my liking - tho the tone was right. But this MAIH is wonderful. The colour has a softness to it which is what I need. Will definately keep this one in my collection and will probably wear all year round.

Polishes -OPI - Tickle my France-y
oadilemma 2/13/2012 6:35:00 PM
Oh Wow! I ordered this online after reading the reviews here as I was struggling to find myself a 'nude' that wasnt pink or too brown. As soon as the parcel arrived it was out and on my nails and I just love it!!!! Beautiful colour - not pink, not beige with definate undertones of lilic. Very pretty and perfect for my colouring. Easy to apply and 2 coats gave a lovely opaque and even finish. I am a soft and cool colouring and it just blends lovely with everything. In fact the colour is very close to my natural nail bed colour which was what I was wanting. Would definately buy again!

Conditioner -Matrix - Amplify Conditioner
oadilemma 2/10/2012 5:12:00 PM
I have been using this product for nearly a year now - and always with the matching shampoo. I just love it. All previous shampoos/conditioners left my hair limp and greasy after one day, where this one I can, if I have to, get 2 and at a push 3 days before I really have to give it a wash again. I find the best result comes from a good shampoo, once, which means being generous with the application. Then lightly towel the hair to remove extra moisture. I then apply the conditioner and if I have time will comb it through before rinsing. I dont leave it on for long as I just doesnt need it. I have shoulder length fine hair, and lots of it. I started using this with shortish hair and even now I still love the results. I dont blow dry, always leave my hair to dry naturally and with a good brush out, comes out great. Only buy this when on special, so makes the price really good value. If I get the litre bottles, I just decanter these for ease in the shower and travel. Definately my favourite to date and the longest I have ever stuck to one shampoo/conditioner range!

Polishes -OPI - Over The Taupe
oadilemma 2/9/2012 11:35:00 PM
I actually dont know what to say about this one - I have it, I wear it and it works really well for me. It's nothing to rave about, but looks good at the same time. Easy to apply and has a lovely glossy finish. I've only had it on my toes - I dont think my finger nails are long enough to carry this off. I am a soft and cool colouring and this polish is a perfect match to Cocoa and looks fab with my mocha birkenstocks!

Polishes -OPI - Meet Me On The Star Ferry
oadilemma 2/9/2012 10:52:00 PM
I loved this colour as soon as I saw it! Have only had it on my toes so far. Being summer here, feels too heavy for bright sunny days! Am saving it for the long winter nights with cups of hot chocolate by the fireside! I also have alot of this colour in my winter wardrobe, which also helps! The one time I have applied this, it went on great. I note someone has said even one coat is enough, so I may have to give that a try. I am a soft and cool colouring and this polish is a great match to damson - but with a lifting shimmer to stop it being dark. At the moment I would definately buy again, will see how it wears over the winter.

Polishes -OPI - Your Royal Shyness
oadilemma 2/9/2012 10:44:00 PM
I was gifted this polish from my sister, who had it given to her at a beauty salon. She knew it was my colour and although it is, I dont know if I am one for the 'white' nail look. Maybe it will grow on me. I had problems with it streaking, but maybe now I have had more practice at applying polish, next time it wont be so bad..... Will give an update later on! I am a soft and cool colouring and this polish is a good match to icy pink.

Polishes -OPI - Cosmo-Not Tonight Honey
oadilemma 2/9/2012 10:35:00 PM
I was looking for somthing natural looking that I could carry off when I didnt want any colour - but wanted 'something'. My sister had this and when I tried it was really taken with it. Looks good in the day and in the evening light too. Two coats is all I need for a good finish and dries reasonably fast. I am a soft and cool colouring and this polish falls somewhere between natural beige and shell. If you are a soft and warm then it will also work with light peach. Great all round - am still looking for a matte natural colour, but until then, this will be the one I use.

Polishes -OPI - Significant Other Color
oadilemma 2/9/2012 10:25:00 PM
Now this is a lovely polish for me. I love that fact is sheer but interesting at the same time. Flashes of green really set it off. This was the first OPI that I purchased and it went on really well. I am a soft and cool colouring and when applied this polish works well with the icy colours and the green flash is like a sea green. A lovely summer shade with a difference. Would buy again.

Polishes -OPI - Not Like The Movies
oadilemma 2/9/2012 10:18:00 PM
A bit dissappointed with this one. Does not look good on me at all. I only see grey or green and hardly and purple. Others looking at me wearing it only see green too. Good OPI quality, but just not right for me and my taste ( was trying to be adventureous!). I am a soft and cool colouring and thought this would work - it probably does, but just not to my style.

Polishes -OPI - Elephantastic Pink
oadilemma 2/9/2012 10:11:00 PM
mmm. I got this on a special offer, which basically ment it was free and chose it because it fitted my colours and looked like it might be fun to wear! I guess I forget how old I am sometimes and with this polish it shows. Was great for a day, but it was just a bit too 'out there' for me! On the other hand... my husband thought it looked great - probably made him think of his youthful days! I didnt have a problem with application - two coats did it - but I was very careful to make sure the brush was well loaded. I am a soft and cool colouring, and this colour is a good match to Blush Pink in the soft category. It seems very bright, but amazingly it does go (belive me I kept checking and checking it out!). For something a bit 'softer' in colour, I have found that 'My Address is Hollywood' is a much better match. Doesnt have the 'glare' that this one does. Not a colour I will wear much - good for a fun day out with the kids I guess. Wont buy it again- too many other lovely colours that would suit me better out there and prefer MAIH to this.

Polishes -OPI - Aphrodite's Pink Nightie
oadilemma 2/9/2012 9:56:00 PM
This is currently my favourite pink - I just love it! Subtle with a slight shimmer that doesnt interfere with the colour. I had it on my toes and hands last and it just worked with everything I wore and was just enough pink without being too 'pink'! I am a Soft and Cool colouring and this is a great match to Orchid - just a shade or so lighter in tone. Application was easy and I had no problem with streaking. A real breeze. This will probably be my go anywhere colour and would definately buy this again!

Polishes -OPI - A-Rose At Dawn...Broke by Noon
oadilemma 2/9/2012 8:08:00 PM
I have had this colour on my toes for a couple of days and it has grown on me and now I really like it - so have just decided to splash it onto my nails for some weekend colour! It's bright (with the frosting effect) and as I dont own any red polishes (at this stage!) it, for me, is the next best thing. Have had comments on my toes - so will see what happens re the fingers. I am Soft and Cool colouring and this is a good match with Orchid/Soft Fuchsia - tho the polish can appear brighter rather than soft. No problems with application, as long as the brush is well loaded and didnt take too long to dry with an OPI base coat. Would buy again, but if I find something with less shimmer - would get that instead.
