#30DaysofColourChallenge - MATTE

This is a month long swatch challenge for April.  A different manicure every day!

Day 20 is a matte polish and this is Orly's Purple Velvet.  It is a medium matte purple that is opaque with 2 coats.  It is part of the 2013 Matte FX collection, but I believe it was a re-release.

#30DaysofColourChallenge - VAMPY

This is a month long swatch challenge for April.  A different manicure every day!

Day 19 is a vampy polish.  This is OPI's Lincoln Park at Midnight; it is a vampy darkened purple with a slight micro shimmer that is very difficult to see, but very prominent in the sun. It is part of OPI's Classic collection and still available.

#30DaysofColourChallenge - CHROME/METALLIC

This is a month long swatch challenge for April.  A different manicure every day!

Day 18 is a metallic/chrome and this is Orly's Rage.  It  is a rose-gold super shiny polish.  Rage is part of the Foil FX collection from 2010.  With two coats it was opaque and I valiantly tried to 'get rid' of the streaks with a top coat, but as with most metallics it didn't work.

I bet this would be a gorgeous pedicure.

#30DaysofColourChallenge - SHIMMER

This is a month long swatch challenge for April.  A different manicure every day!

Day 17 is a shimmer and this is Nubar's Passionate Purple.  It is part of the 8 piece Cleopatra Collection that was released in the Spring of 2009.  This definitely is a Blurple.  It is a purple based polish with so much blue shimmer it looks more blue then purple.  It also has some pink shimmer.  I used 3 coats to get full opacity.  It was very difficult to photograph this polish and get the true colour.
