China Glaze Sea Goddess Collection Press Release & Promo Pictures

12 Replies

China Glaze Sea Goddess CollectionHere’s something to get really excited about: the China Glaze Sea Goddess Collection is set to officially hit stores in February! (That’s just a stone’s throw away!)

I feel like the collection promo picture doesn’t do justice to the shades. But when you scroll down and see the individual bottle promo shots, those look really beautiful!

The 2 shades that really speak to me are Seahorsin’ Around (a vivid turquoise will always get my attention) and Wish on a Starfish (pink with gold is such a striking combination that I’m drawn to).

Of the 6 nail polishes, which China Glaze Sea Goddess Collection shades stand out the most to you?

OPI Toucan Do It If You Try Swatches & Review

OPI Toucan Do It If You Try Swatches & ReviewRemember when I reviewed OPI Where Did Suzi’s Man-Go? a couple of days ago? I got on board the orange train, Choo-choooooo! My love for these kind of shades is still going strong.

Today, I bring you another orange nail-polish review. This time, it’s on OPI Toucan Do It If You Try from the Brazil Collection that’s scheduled to officially hit stores on February 5.

It has hints of tangerine, but it still has that softer look to it that really makes me think of warm weather, the sun beating down, and shedding the winter jacket.

Oh, I can’t wait for spring to come. (I’ve had enough of you, Old Man Winter. No offence!)

Nicole by OPI Teal Me Something New Swatches & Review

4 Replies

Nicole by OPI Teal Me Something New Swatches & ReviewNicole by OPI Teal Me Something New is one of the shades added to the general collection for 2014.

It’s a gorgeous polish, but boy was it ever challenging for me to photograph!

While Teal Me Something New appears like it’s a very bright aqua, it’s actually more of a medium true teal, so please don’t get confused by the colour inaccuracy of my photos.

Even though the colour is off, at least you can see how smooth the formula is.

OPI Where Did Suzi’s Man-Go? Swatches & Review

20 Replies

OPI Where Did Suzi's Man-Go Swatches & ReviewRemember when I first showed you the OPI Brazil Collection press release? There were lots of great colours available.

Then when I saw them in person and shared with you my Quick Look post on the entire OPI Brazil Collection, I knew that there were so many colours that were real winners!

I feasted my eyes on so many incredible shades, and although I love green nail polish, I couldn’t help but drool over the oranges (especially because I don’t have too many of those in my stash).

The first one I was itching to wear first was OPI Where Did Suzi’s Man-Go? because it was the lightest orange in the bunch – really cute!

Nicole by OPI I Shop Mintage Swatches & Review (Mattified)

16 Replies

Nicole by OPI I Shop Mintage Swatches & ReviewNicole by OPI I Shop Mintage is a new addition to the general 2014 collection.

From the minute I caught a glimpse, I knew that I’d have to wear it mattified with the new Nicole by OPI Matte Top Coat. (You’ll probably remember when I first shared a photo of it on my Instagram.)

Although I’m a fan of shiny polishes, I feel like this one looks especially neat and almost like mint candy when it’s mattified!

I wore this shade for several days because that’s just how much I adored it. By the end, it was looking really ratty, though, and it got scratched up because I’ve been quite busy these days, packing boxes, tidying up, and getting ready to move to my new home soon! 🙂

Pretty Serious They Came From Outer Space Part II Destroy All Planets Press Release

4 Replies

Pretty Serious They Came From Outer Space Part IILast week, I received the Pretty Serious They Came From Outer Space Part II Destroy All Planets Press Release!

It consists of 8 new shades with a cool texture that’s very trendy right now.

Aside from the interesting finish, another reason why I like textured polishes is that they typically dry lightning fast. That’s excellent if you lead a very busy lifestyle!

There’s so much variety, so if you like textured nail polishes, you’re going to have a field day with these!

Which of these is your favourite? If you could create your own textured nail polish, what would it look like?
