OPI French Quarter For Your Thoughts

Another long, wordy OPI name that I hate. I'm all for a cute, witty name for polish, but I normally don't like anything over 3 words.

French Quarter For Your Thoughts is a dark gray creme with some hints of taupe. As we all already know, I love gray polish so I think this is a great shade. When I first started getting into polish, I swear I wanted every gray there was out there. I did have a bit of trouble with application, but I believe that was mostly because I used a ridge filler base coat instead of my normal Orly Bonder. Funny how your base coat truly affects how the polish goes on.

Two coats plus one coat Posche:









I feel like everything I have been posting lately is either gray or pink. Ugh. I need to switch it up and wear some different shades!! I think it's because I have been working ahead on some February challenges, so I have Valentine's day on my mind.  A lot of these colors I have been using you will see in upcoming nail art posts :)

What do you think about gray polish? Do you wear it alone or just use it as a nail art base? Or maybe you just don't wear it at all!

Zoya Kristen

This was one of the first polishes that I remember REALLY wanting from Zoya. The rest is history. lol.

Zoya Kristen is from the Feel Collection (which I've already raved about), and is a blue-ish grey color. Application is a true pleasure just like every other polish from this collection.










Do you own any polishes from the Feel Collection? I have to say this is probably one of my favorite all time collections of polishes!

Zoya Megan

Zoya Megan is described as a "full coverage, taupe gray cream". Definitely full coverage, but I would have described it a little more like a purple leaning gray. This was released as one of the polishes in the winter Feel collection.

Coverage was really good, and was opaque in two coats. Pictures are two coats, plus SV.






I love using neutral colors like this in the winter as a palette cleanser.  Sometimes you need a good gray after wearing so many glitter polishes!

Do you find yourself leaning towards neutrals after lots of glitter polish or just glitter all winter long?
