Let me start by saying I am not a fan of any animal prints, never have been. However, seeing work/play/polish's cheetah mani has completely changed my mind. As I write this I am wearing cheetah print pajama pants. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

O.P.I My Private Jet
This is the infamous MPJ, although it's the new version. The old version was more of a charcoal color and a linear holo, this is more brown with a scattered holo although it looks black in most indoor lighting, and there is also a blue flash version; all with the same name! Regardless of the holo, I love this color. The TraceFace Philes has a great comparison on the different formulas of this color.
If you follow my blog you may remember I posted about my all time lemming (here). I got my nails done in my normal salon 3.5 years ago and still remember this gorgeous color, but I wasn't into polish as much as now so I never knew the name. All I have of it are a few pictures from that time that you can barely see my nails in. I thought I had found the color in Finger Paints Sketch-y until I got it on, photographed it and found more old pictures of my nails and realized it was no where close. Ladies; I fully believe MPJ is that color. Check out the comparison pictures below, bottom left is probably the best picture. I'm positive this is it!
My 3.5 year old lemming mani
This is 2 coats MPJ, it dries a little satin but clear coat glossed it right up. Accent nail is one coat MPJ, China Glaze For Audrey, & Orly Nite Owl. Clear coat is Sally Hansen Insta-Dri. Next time I think I will try a coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust for some extra holo sparkle, I wanted a simpler look today. This is what I call a fishtail chevron because a chevron is generally straight not curved but a fishtail is also referred to as this, which I'm calling a fishtail braid. Here is a tutorial from Chalkboard Nails for this design :)

This is my new remover pump! I saw someone post about one at cvs (i think) but could find the post. My cvs didn't have then in so no way to know if it's what i was looking but family dollar had them, and it was cheaper! It has acetone remover in it, but I'll probably fill it with acetone instead.
