Hey hey hey, look what I've got for you guys today! These six polishes are from the OPI Colour Paints mini set, but if you haven't heard about this collection yet I don't blame you because they were not released in New Zealand! These came out in the U.S a couple of months ago, but I am yet to seem them in stores here, and I don't even know if they will be, so hit up ebay or TradeMe if you're in this part of the world.
The polishes in this collection are a little different to regular OPI, but you may have guessed that already by the white caps! These polishes have a thin and blendable formula, meaning you can layer them over one another to produce new colours. This means there are ENDLESS possibilities for nail art with these polishes, and makes ombre or gradient designs a breeze. I've included my first nail art experiment with these after the swatches, so make sure you check it out.
The mini set I purchased is not the complete collection, there are actually 9 colours in total and these all come in full-sized bottles. The three that are not included in the mini set are Indigo Motif (dark blue), Landscape Artist (green), and Magenta Muse (Red). These polishes are designed to be worn over the silver base coat included in the collection, transforming them all into bright, metallic polishes. The formulas of these polishes are too thin to be worn on their own, but a white base coat would almost turn these into neons.
Scroll down to see individual swatches and my thoughts on each polish, as well as some nail art. All polishes are shown without top coat.
Hey guys! Today I have something super exciting for you (well I thought it was super exciting), full swatches and a review of the Fifty Shades of Grey collection by OPI! This collection is hot off the shelves, released this month to promote the upcoming movie that is due for release on 14th February, 2015, so I just HAD to get my pretty little polished hands on it! I was mildly disappointed that this collection was not literally fifty shades of grey, but instead just three greys, a silver, a glitter and a red. The six part collection is available in a mini set, which I purchased from Farmers for $39.99; a steal compared to buying six full-sized bottles which would set you back about $120 here in New Zealand. So, take a look at my swatches and read on for my thoughts on each shade, and which are my faves!
Hey guys! Today I present to you the much-anticipated OPI Coca Cola Collection! I was SO excited for these to come out in JUNE and I waited and I waited and I waited but they never seemed to be released in NZ stores! So, as usual, ebay was my saviour and I purchased the mini set, which included 8 out of the 9 polishes from the collection and a top and base coat (really OPI, REALLY, you couldn't just put that last polish in instead of a base coat?) and purchased a full sized bottle of the remaining polish (Orange you Fantastic). All up it cost me less than 50NZD, including shipping, which is pretty good considering how expensive individual full-sized OPI bottles are here in New Zealand. Read on to find more pictures and my thoughts on each polish and the collection as a whole (all polishes are shown without a top coat.)
