Hello lovelies! Today I'm bringing you swatches of the Opi Wasnington DC collection! Opi teamed up with Kerry Washington who was also named the first ever creative ambassador! Kerry worked closely with Suzi to bring this awesome collection for fall/winter. 

Let's see the swatches!

Yank My Doodle

Squeaker Of The House

Three special limited edition bonus shades:

Kerry Blossom

Accomplished stateswomen love this plum with capital flair. 

"Liv" In The Gray

Inside The Isabelletway
Opi missed the ball on a couple of the color descriptions if you ask me. Both of the "red" shades are definitely more pink/berry to me. But hey it's just a color description so I'll look past that, lol! The formula on this collection is good & easy to work with. 

My swatches are 2 coats of color and a coat of top coat with the exception of Never A Dulles Moment and  Freedom Of Peach which I used 3 thin coats.

These retail for $10 USD/ $12.50 CAN. 

Nauti Girl

Red Jelly with polish with contrasting shimmers.

What the Orly Breathable line offers:

• Heal & Repair  With Argan Oil, Pro-Vitamin B5 & Vitamin C
• Longer lasting color With Advanced Oxygen Technology. This allows air and hydration to penetrate the nail while also allowing any moisture to be able to escape. 

• Cut your manicure time in half - No Base or Topcoat Needed. This formula has it all with added adhesion and shine.  

I'm not one who really believes that your nails need to breathe, but I figure making  a polish breathable can't be a bad thing right? This will allow air flow to the nail plate and possibly allow my jojoba oil to penetrate my nails through the polish. 

As stated by Orly: Our Breathable collection uses an advanced oxygen technology that allows for oxygen and hydration to pass through, a technology similar to contact lens, which promotes nail growth, increases nail thickness and helps heal damaged nails. 

So I set off to try these....

The bottles say to apply 2 coats of color to a bare nail. And that's about it. This isn't going to be a true testing review because I opted to use a glossy top coat even though these do dry glossy on their own. I'm just not complete with a coat of top coat.

I did swatch these on my bare nails. I found they applied better onto a naked nail. I know many refuse to wear polish without a base coat on, so these might not work as well for you if you try them over one, though I'm not 100% sure on that either. I only tried one over a peel off basecoat and it went from smooth (on the bare nail) to streaky, so I assume it was the extra basecoat I added.  I will have to do a true wear test with and without base coat and top coat if I can find the time.

Hello lovelies!! I've had a lot going on lately but I'm slowly gaining my me time back so here's a few new Miracle Gel swatches for ya! 

Frill Seeker

Stop searching, you’ve arrived at the perfect resplendent, creamy-peach shade. Absolutely amazing. I love everything about this nude shade. 2 coats + top coat. 

Mauve-olous

Take the throne in this beige-tinged medium-pink tone. Another perfect neutral. This is 2 coats + top coat. 

Prince Char-mint

A refreshingly Versailles-worthy pale verdant hue. I love this minty beauty. 3 thin coats + top coat. 

These formulas are nice and smooth, opaque in 2-3 coats. I don't judge these on wear time because I believe that any polish can last a good time with the proper application and also that most only wear for 14-21 when they are a true gel polish that needs to be cured.

Miracle Gel retails for $9.99 USD each and can be found in mass retailers and drugstores nationwide. Follow Sally Hansen on social media for updates and swatches!
