I love doing my nails, I always rally against the tag of being a ‘girly girl’ but if my nails are anything to go by then that label would certainly apply. About a year ago I discovered Shellac, but unless it’s noted on the blog I always and only ever have done my own nails and manicures. It’s sort of like a Sunday night ritual if you like, wiping off the week that’s been and starting afresh on a Monday morning with a new colour to gaze at every day….or at least for the next seven!
Anyhow, this week’s give away is bought to you by The Glossery which is a Melbourne based company that sources the best of the best nail polishes and products and brings them to you well below retail price. I think they may just love nail polish as much as I do so I’m thrilled to have teamed up with them to bring you a chance to win this beautiful pack from the O.P.I ‘Best of the Best’ range.
You will also win a $20 voucher to spend over on TheGlossery.com.au which if you are canny could get you a couple of different colours.
Painting tips on my red nails with ‘Lincoln Park After Dark.’

OPI Louvre Me, Louvre Me Not – perfect mix between violet and dark.
OPI’s quarter of a centcherry! Bestest red out there, perfect to brighten up dark gloomy winter days.
I ADORE “OPI Gone Gonzo” this is how I had my toe nails for my “something blue” for my wedding back in August! I’d love to be able to do them like this all the time
Loving the OPI Planks A Lot!
For this summer my favourite is the vibrant pink ‘Koala Bear’
I look down at my toes and it makes me smile every time!!!
OPI BLACK SHATTER
Perfect for creating a quick, edgy, salon look.
Tip- Buy some painters tape from your local Bunnings or hardware store, cut out some cute shapes (hearts, stars, bubbles) then once your vibrant bottom coat has dried, apply your stencil and paint a LIGHT amount of OPI Shatter polish. Wait around 1min to dry, remove the stencil and apply a clear topcoat. WILL NOT DISSAPOINT!
I love “OPI Suzi Says Feng Shui” sooo nice!
Do you lilac it? I certainly do!
I spent all summer wearing OPI Tangerine Bikini! Very, very special colour considering ‘Tangerine Tango’ was the 2011 Pantone colour of the year!! LOVE -XX-
OPI’s Suzi Says Feng Shui! GORGEOUS!

I’m loving MonSooner or Later. Fab summer colour!
Liked and liked. I love Lincoln Park After Dark too, and would like to try some of the glittering ones from the new Muppets collections
Shellac, Tropix. Gorgeous colour for summer. Love The Glossery, excellent service, what more can you ask for.
LM, I just wanted to thank you for the idea of painting the tips in a darker colour. I also prefer to do my own nails. This week I chose to do a french mani. Have a great weekend!

For the Love of Audrey
I am loving happy summery colours at the moment, so would say Strawberry Margarita.

‘We Could Runaway’ by China Glaze – a line of nailpolish inspired by ‘The Hunger Games’! How awesome and ecletic is that?
A huuuge fan of all things OPI! And I have a similar Sunday night tradition… I find it helps with the “Sunday Night Blues”
At the moment, my summer fave is OPI ‘I Eat Mainely Lobster’, the pic on the website doesn’t do it justice. Fabulous for a hot summer day 🙂
The best part about OPI is the names and I love Barefoot in Barcelona

OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender. What a stunning colour!
OPI Ogre-The-Top Blues is just stunning, it would complement the colours of summer… coral, tan and yellow perfectly!

Im visiting Paris and the French Riviera in April and ‘tickle my France-y’ is at the top of my OPI most wanted list!
Hi Phoebe,
I hardly do my nails on my hands lately as they don’t seem to last very long but have always painted my toe nails 🙂
I’ve also never tried OPI before 😛 Therefore, would love to get my hands on OPI Got A Day To Knight!! Such a pretty pink shade!!!
I’d love to recreate your look with Cajun Shrimp and Russian Navy. Since discovering them some years back, OPI have been unwavering favourite polish brand. Top quality, of course, but the fun colour names certainly don’t hurt!
Opi- red my forturne cookie. Love the colour looks great for summer.
I love OPI Hopelessly in Love, beautiful shade of pink!
That Best of Collection looks amazing, and thanks for the intro to The Glossery, I’ll have to get shopping!
Wow, I love OPI Need Sunglasses? Perfect way to make a statement this summer! At least people will see me coming 🙂
It would need to be “Planks alot” Blue, conservative enough for work, but still fun enough to wear on the weekend.
OPI Russian Navy – I love the nautical look, and this makes it even better!
OMG – I love the Muppets collection, especially Gettin’ Miss Piggy It 🙂
I love OPI Felling Hot Hot Hot, always have to have bright pink on my toes.

Very hard to pick a fav colour… OPI Chick Flick Cherry
OPI Tangerine Bikini – its a gray day outside and now all I can think of doing is putting on a bikini and painting my nails. Maybe I could put on the heater?
OPI cajun shrimp for the colour and the name.
‘I’m Not Really a Waitress’ by OPI, love the name too! 🙂
Anything with glitter, OPI Gone Gonzo is amazing!
OPI Do You Lilac It? Perfect for summer sweetness, and the girly colour contrasts a dark evening outfit with ease.
I cannot go past the OPI Cajun Shrimp, a bright and happy colour, perfect for Summer!
Oh the Strawberry Margarita, delish on my fingers and toes!
Got a Day to Knight by O.P.I. It’s the most amazing Barbie pink.
This website is excellent! I can now satisfy all my nail polish cravings 😉
I love Poetic by China Glaze, i’m a sucker for metallic/shimmery neutrals.
Also, China Glaze’s For Audrey gets a special mention, just because 😀
