Isn't this awesome? It looks just like a Prismatic from China Glaze. It's actually Studio M Spring Fling. Spring Fling is a light blue microglitter base with small fuchsia glitters and larger round silver holo glitter! This is my first Studio M polish and I'm completely in love with it. This was three coats plus Sally Hansen Insta-Dri top coat but this is a very top coat hungry polish. This is way more awesome that it's coming across in the picture. If you happen to have a Meijer near you, run and pick this one up! You won't be disappointed!
Studio M is a brand that, as far as I know, is only sold in Meijer stores. They have limited edition collections, which you can find in special displays on the side of an endcap, in addition to the core collection which hangs out with the other polishes in the cosmetics area. The limited edition collections seem to be a mix of limited edition colors, core colors, repromotes and rebottles of Color Club colors. I found this particular color in the "Hop Into Spring's Hottest Colors" display and I have not seen it in the core collection. Studio M polishes retail for $2.99.
I'll definitely keep an eye on Studio M from now on! This was a fantastic find and such a cheap thrill! Anyone else love Studio M colors? Any I need to pick up?

OPI The World Is Not Enough
We are getting so close to the end of the Bond polishes! This is The World Is Not Enough. OPI describes it as a "rosy silver". It's so much more than that. It can look coppery, almost purple, silvery bronze and of course more of a "rosy silver" depending on the light. It's a very pretty color that definitely fits in well with my collection. This was three coats and while it did look opaque at two, it need the third to really give it depth. It wasn't too gritty feeling but I did use a thick top coat (Insta-Dri). Probably not a must have from the Skyfall collection unless you favor metallics. I'm just finding that I lose any subtle nuances when I wear most metallics and they tend to just look and feel very similar to me. Anyways, just two Bond polishes left!

OPI On Her Majesty's Secret Service
What can I say, I'm loving these Bond polishes! This is On Her Majesty's Secret Service and I think this is definitely one of my favorites from the collection. It was three coats and an absolutely fantastic formula! OPI calls this a misty green pewter and I'm not quite sure that's how I'd put it. It's very hard to describe. It's a dark gunmetal type color with kind of a green/gold duochrome effect plus some blue specks. So multidimensional, SO gorgeous. You should be RUNNING to go find this right now.
I used a new base coat and top coat with this so I'll let you know how I like them. Base coat was Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure Base Coat and top coat was Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip. The top coat is great so far, very shiny and fast drying!
I didn't actually watch the corresponding movie for this but if I do, I'll be sure to tell you what I think.
Any requests for polish swatches? I'm loving the Bond polishes but if there's something you want to see, let me know!

OPI Moonraker
The rarely seen right hand! So this is OPI Moonraker, which is part of the Skyfall collection that I've been lusting after. My boyfriend got this and a couple others for me for my birthday (I'll post them in a haul after Christmas). Of the whole collection, I was most looking forward to Moonraker. It was such a unique silvery blue almost liquid metal type of shade and I knew I at least had to have this one. The color is stunning but the formula is so disappointing. I did 6 coats on my left hand and 4-5 coats on my right. It was so thin but it clung to the brush. Even waiting 5 minutes between coats, I had dragging. Maybe it's my technique or maybe I just got a dud. Either way, I'll try again eventually because I just love this color! We watched Moonraker after I put this on and I actually really loved it! I guess whenever I hear the name James Bond I think Roger Moore, even though this was the first Bond movie I've seen with Roger Moore as 007. So Moonraker the movie totally lived up to my expectations but Moonraker the polish was disappointing. Did anyone else have this problem with the polish?
