Sally Hansen "Ooh la la Ombre" Poppy Purples kit Review and Tutorial

This past winter, I picked up all three of the Sally Hansen "Ooh la la Ombre" polish sets during a sale.  There were three kits: purples, pinks, and green-blue based themes.  I bought doubles of the purples and gave them all to my sister as a present, why?

Because each set, which comes with three polishes each and retails at $9.99, all came out to 99 cents!

While I couldn't help myself, I also did not need all that new polish.

I did keep one set for myself, the "Poppy Purples" because the 2014 Pantone Color of the Year is "Radiant Orchid", and I thought this set fits perfectly in that color scheme.  

I've always had trouble creating ombre designs even without the help of a kit, so I thought I'd give it another try.

Multi-color glitter toppers turn your fingers into a party!  I picked up "Pride" from my local Walgreens only to go home and realize that I had two other glitter toppers similar to it.  Of course, I did not return it.

A girl can't have too many glitter toppers, right?
