Moneymeister, get 'em while still available. Only $8 shipped. http://www.amazon.com/OPI-Lacquer-Olearys-Barbeque-Ounce/dp/B000NG46TM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404319329&sr=8-1&keywords=opi+olearymoneymeister|1403716163|3700899 said:I am taking a moment to mourn the passing of my last bottle of OPI Ms. Oleary's BBQ from the Chicago Collection. I tried to buy it on Amazon, but they are hawking bottles for 25 bucks + shipping...a little much. I wish I could find the exact match elsewhere.

It usually still picks up too much, so I dot it onto a piece of plastic or something to get the excess off, then dot on my nail. There's a huge nail polish supply store down the street and I need to pick up some proper dotting/nail art supplies!
Of the darker blues, I like Dream. Ibiza was too runny for me, and it was really dark. Haven't been too thrilled with the darker greens. They just don't work well with my skintone. I do like this apple green one but it's pretty light and shimmery.
Did any of you Costco members see the newest Costco Connection? They are promoting a polish that is 5-free and it looks interesting!

My issue with Ibiza was the application and the lack of staying power. I had to put on 3 coats before there was full coverage. It was so watery. Then, after a few hours, the polish on my toe nails literally scraped off! I've never had that happen before with a nail polish and thought the one nail was a fluke, so I poked at another toe with my nail and sure enough, that one scraped right off as well. I always wipe down my nails with rubbing alcohol so I know my nails were clean, so it had to be the polish.
I applied Dream and was out the door and off to a wedding within 30 minutes. No topcoat, and it lasted almost 2 weeks. It looks to be a purer blue compared to Song, with visible micro glitter. I think I like Song's tone just a little more, and I prefer the metallic look more. Dammit, I need to buy Song.
Will post natty. I ended up ordering Dream because of good reviews here and switched Tao to Cassedy for a more metallic finish.missy|1404421123|3706246 said:Oh Baby Monster, I love natty! Darn, I wish I ordered that instead of the Pepper. That was sort of an add on just because I didn't want to get another black. Please post your natty nails when you apply.

love love that color with the ring. It compliments your skintone and at the same time picks up the ring without a matchy-matchy look.Tanzigrrl|1404997830|3710404 said:Not sure about this color. It's Sensationail (gel) "heirloom Lilac."
