There are two halves, which make up the new release, which can now be pre-ordered on their official website: theĀ Zoya EnticeĀ CollectionĀ andĀ Zoya Ignite Collection.
Although both look very promising, I’m drawn more to the Zoya Ignite Collection because of the amazing finish – it’s so fiery!
Those polishes look like the kind where you can’t stop staring on your nails in all different lighting.
Out of all the shades in the Zoya Ignite Collection, Remy makes my heart skip a beat and then do Double Dutch in the school yard! š Yeah, that’s how gorgeous I think the shade is!
Which half do you like more, and what are your top 3 picks?
A couple of days ago, I shared with you an in-depth review of OPI Good Grief!, the sunny yellow from the Peanuts CollectionĀ out in stores this September.
Ever since laying my eyes on the glitters, specificallyĀ OPI To Be Or Not To Beagle, I knew I had to layer it over the yellow.
You know how I’m a huge fan of bold colour combinations. There’s nothing quite like looking down and being greeted by crazy nails, right?Ā Right!Ā š
What I really love about OPI To Be Or Not To Beagle is that the colourful glitter really reminds me of the Peanuts cartoons. The hues are a great match, and they managed to translate the fun and wholesome vibe from Peanuts into a nail polish. That’s quite remarkable! Charles Monroe Schulz (aka Sparky) would be proud!Ā I still can’t believe it’s already been 14 years since his passing.
Speaking about people passing, I was terribly shocked and saddened that Robin Williams passed away recently. He was a gifted actor, and my favourite films of his are Awakenings and What Dreams May Come.
On a happier note, I’d like to remind you that you still have until this Friday (August 15) at 11:59 pm EDT to enter my worldwide giveaway to win 1 of 4 autographed bottles of Pretty Serious Swatch And Learn, the shade I designed! Hurry – get your entry in!
Today’s post is going up tonight instead of the morning as usual because guess what? Last night, the power unexpectedly went out!
I even woke up extra early today, in the hopes that the power would come back on and then I could post something for my awesome readers. Sadly, the electricity was still out, which made getting ready for work quite interesting.
Thankfully, I have lots of scented candles that I’m now proud I hoard. Haha!
It was cool to get ready by candlelight. A little romantic, even! š
As you can tell from this post, now,Ā I’ve got the power!Ā (Hehe, that was meant to be sung to the tune of the song by Snap!) Hopefully it doesn’t go out again – fingers, toes, and eyes crossed!
So, here’s a press release about two newĀ OPI Designer SeriesĀ nail polishes that feature a Polished Quartz finish:Ā OPI DS TitaniumĀ andĀ OPI DS Tourmaline!
They launch on September 3rd, which isn’t that far away. Crazy how fast time flies!
The Polished Quartz finish is new, and it’s semi-matte while still have lots of sparkle. OPI’s PR was sweet enough to send me both to try, so please let me know which one you’d like me to wear and review first. š
P.S.Ā Remember, you still have until August 15 at 11:59 pm EDT to enter my worldwide giveaway for your chance toĀ win 1 of 4 autographed bottles of Pretty Serious Swatch And Learn, the nail polish I designed! (Yup, there will be FOUR WINNERS!)
Today, I’m very excited to share with youĀ OPI Good Grief!, which is a creamy, sunny yellow from the OPI Peanuts CollectionĀ coming to stores in September!
Hallowe’en is my favourite holiday, and I have happy associations with Charlie Brown because when I was in grade 3, for summer camp, we performed a play called A Charlie Brown Christmas. (Hehe, yes, it was Christmas in July!)
If you follow me on social media, you saw me post some photos from the OPI Peanuts Collection, and you know that I’m digging the 2 that I’ve worn so far. (Expect reviews on the rest shortly!)
Also, I plan to do a comparison post later because I’m sure a lot of you are curious as to how OPI Good Grief! compares to other yellows. Stay tuned for that, and if there’s a specific yellow that you want me to include in the comparison, leave a comment on this post or let me know on social media. If I have the shade, I’ll include it.

Slated for a September release, and just in time for October (aka Breast Cancer Awareness Month), theĀ OPI Pink of Hearts 2014Ā set features two pink nail polishes and a cute nail file with a pink-ribbon charm.
In addition to helping to raise awareness of breast cancer, OPI will donateĀ $25,000 toĀ Susan G. KomenĀ® andĀ $5,000 toĀ Rethink Breast CancerĀ in Canada.
One shade is OPI Mod About You, and the other is the limited-edition OPI The Power of Pink.
If you followed me on my social-media accounts, you saw that I posted a bottle shot of OPI The Power of Pink, as well as photos of a couple of polishes from the OPI Peanuts Collection.
I’ll definitely be wearing and reviewing OPI The Power of Pink, so stay tuned! Hehe, so many polishes and so few nails! š
Autumn is just a wink away, and although the last thing you may want to think about is the weather getting cooler, I have some nail news that I hope you love as much as I do!
TheĀ OPI Peanuts CollectionĀ isn’t just a fall launch, but it’s a Hallowe’en collection! *Squeals*
It hits stores in September, which I can’t believe is next month! The summer has really flown by so quickly this year, hasn’t it? And there has been a lot of rain, which is odd.
(In case you didn’t know, Hallowe’en is my favourite holiday, so although I’m trying to contain my excitement, um, I just can’t!) š
There are 4 shades, so it’s a small collection, but that’s okay. The colours look fun, and I think it’s a very unique collaboration to pair Charlie Brown with nail polish. It’s also cool to see fun black glitter polishes. Plus there isn’t a typical orange that you see a billion times in other Hallowe’en collections.
