My Private Jet?

Pictured here is my all-time favorite polish... and the picture DOES NOT do this polish justice! This polish is actually a charcoal grey polish with tiny pink speckles in it and it's called My Private Jet by OPI. It actually looks like pink gunmetal... I LOVE this polish more than any other. But the other day, while viewing one of my favorite blogs, I notice that someone else's My Private Jet is a holo... WTH!!!

First of all, let me just note here that I DO, in fact, have a holo on my nails here. You can clearly see that the Konad image I stamped on my nails (image plate M7) is a holo while the backdrop of My Private Jet is just speckled. BTW, I did the Konadicure with China Glazes OMG... THE most fabulous holo EVER made and PERFECT for Konadicures!!! But this polish is NOT a holo. And while I certainly love my holos (as much as the next polish addict), the My Private Jet that I own IS NOT one of them and I adore this color above all other colors. Now, my dilemma: Which color is the accurate color? Is it the yummy pink speckled gun metal that I adore, or is it the dark holo that I saw blogged HERE? Either color is honestly unique, but my pink gun metal will be soooooo missed if it turns out the holo is the accurate color and I somehow got a fluke. WHY didn't I buy multiples when I had the chance!!!???!!! Seriously folks, this is a "sound the torpedoes" kind of moment for me!!!

I got the paper from Stampin Up. It has been retired now. I'm so sad because I love it! I bought 2 packs and I treasure it!

there are at least 4 versions known (or even more)

a dark chorcoral holo, a black holo, a brown with green/teal shimmer and a dull black one with only hints of holographic shimmer

yours seems to be another version, shame on you opi for making this confsion about this

Ok, here's the scoop on MPJ... MPJ was release as a LE in 2007 as a charcoal holo. It has since been re-released in about 60 billion other forms. There is a scattered "holo" (pssssh so not a real holo) a brownish based one, one with a teal flash, and apparently now you've discovered this one. (Which I must have now btw) I have the original, the brown w/ scattered holo bits, and I'm still hunting the teal flash one and now apparently this one... Finding the original holo is like finding a leprechaun and you'll pay thru the nose on ebay for it...

Nicole: WTH! DANG IT!!! I wonder if any hoarders are selling some????

Amused Polish and Scandalous: I WISH I would have bought more than one bottle when I had the chance. I had no idea and I love MY version... DANG IT TWICE!!! Scandalous... if I find it (and now I'm definitely going to look) I'll let you know! :(

Past 7 Days....

Gorgous Leaves Bundle Revisited

Yestday's Freebie Friday on a Monday projects were so fun and this set is SO BEAUTIFUL in it's simplicity!  It reminds me of a long-retired stamp set from Stampin Up!.  I was inspired to re-create the projects that I made with it once upon a time.  So here we go.... SIMPLE projects when you need a quick "hello" or an even quicker heartfelt sympathy card: I was DEFINITELY on a Bumblebee and Cajun Craze kick yesterday!  I can't stop/won't stop!  LOL!  To be fair... I had extra leaves die cut and didn't want anything to go to waste!  A quick speckle backdrop in Bumblebee then a quick "hello" greeting from the Biggest Wish in Cajun Craze with the Cajun Craze leaf popped up on a Basic White cardbase.  PERFECTION! Okay, as with yesterday's projects, the sentiment is from the recently retired SAB Delicate Dahlia's set, but you could use ANY sympathy sentiment you have in your stash.  Unlike in the past when I had to mask off the center rectangle...

BACK To Halloween.... WHEW!

Okay... BACK to Halloween gifting this week!  We're makin more goody boxes using The Cutest Halloween Bundle again this week, we are also featuring the tags and labels dies from the July - December 2021 Mini Catalog (lovingly dubbed "the holiday mini").  I've got to admit, this bundle really is the cutest and I'm having SOOOO much fun playing with it simply because of how easy it is to work with.  The fact that the punch ALSO punches out the images from the DSP makes this one a super-huge winner for me.  I mean.... three goody projects in under an hour!?!  That's right!  This week's Freebie Friday On A Monday was actually recorded in under 40 minutes!  SO DOABLE to get ready for Halloween gifting!  As always, the link to the free PDF with supplies used and measurements is below the last pic and if you place a $35 or more from my online store (click "Shop With Me" in the banner at the top of this blog) using this week's Host/Hostess code  GHRG...
