OPI Super Cute in Pink Swatches & Review

OPI Super Cute in Pink Swatches Review

Move aside, Molly Ringwald! Why be Pretty in Pink when you can be OPI Super Cute in Pink?

A peppy pink from the OPI Hello Kitty Collection sends your nails a love letter that’s signed, sealed, and delivered! With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, it’s great timing.

It’s been an OPI Week, as you’ll notice that I’ve been doing back-to-back reviews of OPI Hello Kitty Collection nail polishes. I hope that you’ve been enjoying the posts so far! It has been a blast for me because pink is a colour that I don’t wear as often on my nails as other hues. This week has allowed me to explore more colour territory.

For those who aren’t crazy about pink, you’ll be happy to know that other colours (as well as other brands) will be reviewed soon. Hehe, I was just on a pink roll lately.

OPI Starry-Eyed for Dear Daniel Swatches & Review

OPI Starry-Eyed for Dear Daniel Swatches Review

There’s no ignoring OPI Starry-Eyed for Dear Daniel – in my beauty book, it’s one of the stars in the Hello Kitty Collection that will make you look twice!

In the bottle, it looks pretty, but it wasn’t until I wore it on my nails that I unleashed the Pink Panther dancing to disco. What a sight! (I nearly had my eyes poked out.)

If you want the ultimate princess manicure, this is it! It twinkles like a jewel-encrusted tiara, and it’s pink like a traditional ball gown.

I’m not even the biggest fan of pink, but this one got my manicure motor humming.

OPI Let’s Be Friends Swatches & Review

OPI Let's Be Friends Swatches Review

OPI Let’s Be Friends from the Hello Kitty Collection is a heavy white-based pale pink. It resembles a strawberry that just saw a ghost…if that has ever happened.

This is great for nail-polish enthusiasts like me who rarely wear a solid white lacquer. OPI Let’s Be Friends has just enough pink to give it colour, yet it still has that fresh appeal like a white polish.

Darker and vivid hues are more my speed, but when I need a break from them or when I’m looking for something light for the winter, this is the type of shade that I like to wear for a breather. It’s easy, clean, and simple.

OPI Charmmy & Sugar Swatches & Review (Layered Over OPI Look at My Bow!)

OPI Charmmy & Sugar Swatches Swatch

Are you ‘kitten’ me?

The cute nail-polish train keeps on chugging along on the blog with OPI Charmmy & Sugar layered over OPI Look at My Bow!, both of which are from the oh-so-adorable Hello Kitty Collection!

OPI Charmmy & Sugar is what would result from combining Barbie and the Snow Queen…with a little glitter fight in the arts and crafts room.

Sure, you could wear it solo and use multiple coats for better coverage, but I preferred to use one coat over OPI Look at My Bow!, which is the medium pink that I shared in yesterday’s in-depth review.

Even if you don’t follow nail-polish collections religiously, by the wrapper-covered handle, you’ll know that OPI Look at My Bow! is from the highly anticipated OPI Hello Kitty Collection.

This blue-based bubblegum pink might just make your nails purr!

Pretty Serious Badlands Bandit Swatches & Review

Pretty Serious Badlands Bandit Swatches Review

Don’t feel blue. Wear blue!

Pretty Serious Badlands Bandit steals the nail show. (It hails from the Post Apocalyptic Princess Collection.)

If there was a swimming pool for robots, I imagine that they would look like Pretty Serious Badlands Bandit. It has a futuristic feel, and the rich sapphire blue packs a lot of punch, like the boxing glove on a spring activated by a button in The Goonies.

OPI New Orleans Collection

OPI New Orleans Collection

Edit: Click here to see my swatches of all 12 OPI new Orleans Collection shades!

With frigid winter winds so biting that you’re almost tempted to sink your chattering teeth into a habanero pepper for heat, the OPI New Orleans Collection is a welcomed nail vacation with warm vibes!

Officially scheduled for a February 2016 launch, the spring collection embraces fun colours that are a pleasant reminder of warm weather on the way.

There are 12 limited-edition colours in the OPI New Orleans Collection, and I’ll give you a guess as to which one my eyes darted to. Yup – the green called I’m Sooo Swamped!

The other hues that caught my attention in their colourful net were the blue creme (Rich Girls & Po-Boys), periwinkle shimmer (Show Us Your Tips!), and coral creme (Got Myself into a Jam-balaya).

Which ones have you pining for spring?

I was so inspired by the playful colours that I created the below image. Just seeing them all lined up makes me think of warmer days! 🙂
