Nails of the Week: Katy Perry's OPI The One that Got Away

Decided to change things up and change up the nail color...although the other nail polish I was rocking was holding up just fine!

What can I say is I love Katy Perry...and well as much as I was enjoying Not in the Movies...I totally had my eye on The One that Got Away since I received my nail polish collection.

The color is listed as being a Berry color with a hint of shimmer. I guess that is what really grabbed my attention in regards to this color because I do love my wine/berry colored items (lipsticks, lipglosses, nail polish).

And with my olive skin tone, I personally think this nail polish looks bomb on me!!! :)

But that is just my opinion...does anyone else have this color? or any of the other Katy Perry's nail polish? If so what is your favorite color?

I honestly think this might be my favorite...I will let you know after trying out the other two polishes the rest of this month!

Pretty yes?!

Totally digging this polish, I put on my Manhattan Base polish (1 coat) followed by 2 coats of The One that Got Away to be followed by my Sally Hansen Top Coat ( 1 coat).

So far I have noticed that this color sadly isnt lasting as long as the other polish. As it's chipping on my right pointer finger (though all the other fingers look pretty good).

No matter what I still love this color!!!

Nails of the Week: Katy Perry's OPI Not Like the Movies

So with the basketball season coming up to a close for me...I have been letting my nails grow back out again (as I followed the rules myself and kept my nails trim...since I occasionally played against my girls).

And with my receiving some awesome nail polish for my Valentine's present, I decided it was time to play with the pretty colors.

The first color I decided to try out from my Mini Collection of Katy Perry's OPI polishes was, Not Like in the Movies.

This nail polish in my opinion was one of the most interesting colors from the four...due to the fact that the color itself seems to change pending on what light is hitting it!

It has an iridescent shimmer, and I would describe this as a grey/green with pink and purple undertones (ie shimmer). Cause anytime I'm sitting looking at my nails and move my hand around I can see anywhere from 2 to 4 colors! Totally lives up to the name...Not Like in the Movies!!! he he

I have had this nail polish on for about a week now...and I must again say how much nicer using OPI is for chipping and staying power than any other nail polish I have owned.

Not only do I require less product applied to my nails (this was only two coats of the polish) but I have had little to no chipping. I actually had to file down my nails a but so even with doing that (after having nail polish on) I had no issue.

It really does make me want to get into nail polishes a bit more (at least for the better quality items) but I figure it will have to be special colors or collection to really get me to jump on that bandwagon.

I do love Katy Perry and of course all the hot videos talking about her nail polishes have been out for awhile now (though the shatter polish seems to be the hot trend at the moment). Overall I'm very happy with my polish and I even don't mind having a mini polish (cause the full sizes are just too expensive..at least on eBay they were).

So Pretty

**Random side note, I just recently started using a new nail polish base from Manhattan (German make up brand)...so I'm wondering if it combined with the OPI makes for better staying power. I will have to use it when using a less expensive brand and keep you informed!
