Siren Reds: OPI Gettin' Miss Piggy With It compared to China Glaze Love Marilyn

Within the last month both OPI and China Glaze put out collections with awesome red glitter polishes. I wanted to see how close these two compare. As you can see they aren't dupes but they are similar. OPI's Gettin' Miss Piggy With It is from the Muppets Collection (to see any post about this collection, including a comparison between Rainbow Connection and Deborah Lippmann Happy Birthday click here). China Glaze's Love Marilyn is from the Eye Candy Collection (to see other swatches of polishes in this collection, click here).

Wet n Wild - Behind Closed Doors (On The Prowl Collection Halloween 2011)

This is one of the two polishes I bought from the Wet n Wild On The Prowl Halloween collection. This is colour is called Behind Closed Doors. The other polish I bought from this collection was Cougar Attack (click here to see swatches). On The Prowl was a Halloween collection from Wet n Wild and had 8 limited edition polishes. Behind Closed Doors is a close match to Deborah Lippmann's Ruby Red Slippers. Both are a black base with red hexagon glitter and regular glitter scattered throughout.

I used one coat of OPI Black Onyx (plain black creme) and one coat of Behind Closed Doors, finished with Seche Vite top coat. I'm totally loving this. I'm just not totally sure when I'd actually wear this but the red really does pop against the black. I highly suggest using a black base with this one. 

This collection was very hard to come by. When I did find these they were at a SuperStore in the Halloween section. They were $2.99 CAD each. I'm sure glad I found it!

Time Capsule: My Top 5 Summer 2011 Nail Polishes

I wanted to do a quick post on some of my favourite nail polishes that came out this Summer. Just for something to look back on. I know in 2010 I was a mint addict, it looks like this year I've diversified. I thought it would be fun to make a little post to remember the polishes that I most frequently wore this season now that it's slowly coming to an end.

It was honestly a tough choice. But here are my top 5 of Summer 2011 (pictured below from left to right):

• Chanel - Mimosa (Les Fleurs d'été Collection, 2011)

• Deborah Lippmann - Girls Just Want to Have Fun (Summer 2011)

• OPI - Mermaid's Tears (Pirates of the Caribbean Collection, 2011)

• American Apparel - Neon Red (LE Neon Collection, 2011)

• China Glaze - Below Deck (Anchors Away Collection, 2011)

Let me know what your favourite polish of Summer 2011 was!
