I’m on a roll like melted butter.

Today is the 11th nail polish from the Selena Gomez 2013 Collection I’ve reviewed! (There are 14 in total.)

This time it’s Nicole by OPI Mi Fantasia.

It was one of the shades I was most anxious about trying because it’s a bar-glitter lacquer!

Seems like a lot of people are in divided camps on this finish.

I really love the idea of bar glitter despite being disappointed by ones like OPI Save Me and China Glaze Marry a Millionaire. (I think I like this one more because the bar glitter is shorter, and therefore easier to manipulate on your nails.)

Just like my philosophy about people, I believe that you can’t give up on nail polish. 😉

Despite the rotten eggs out there, there are real gems, too. It’s our responsibility to keep our eyes peeled like bananas to seek out the good.

Mi Fantasia was a good egg.

Yup, I have another shade from the Selena Gomez Collection coming out in January 2013!

This time, it’s Nicole by OPI Confetti Fun, which definitely lives up to its name. It has a rainbow of glitter that makes you look like a clown who broke into the arts and crafts store and didn’t clean up afterwards. 😉

Nicole by OPI Confetti Fun is what I’d like to describe as OPI Rainbow Connection 2.0. It totally gives me the same vibe, but it’s not a dupe. Read my review to see exactly what I mean.

Plus I’ll also show you swatches of it solo (and not layered over Scarlett like I did here) as well as over two other colours.

While wearing Nicole by OPI Scarlett from the Selena Gomez Collection coming to stores in January 2013, I couldn’t help but think of Katniss from The Hunger Games.

In the same vein that Katniss is The Girl on Fire, this red nail polish comes to life and gives you a manicure that’s on fire!

However, I don’t think I did it justice. Mother Nature didn’t cooperate, so all the days I wore this, I was only able to take photos with my camera’s flash and in dim light.

Nicole by OPI Naturally is from the Selena Gomez Collection that comes out in January 2013.

If you’re into super girly nail polish, Naturally will be right up your alley. It’s soft and sweet. It makes me think of My Little Pony and the Care Bears.

Remember all those cool cartoons from the 1980s? Children’s cartoons these days just don’t seem to have the same magic as they did back then.

And do you remember She-Ra, the Princess of Power? She’s He-Man’s twin sister.

When I was in elementary school, I went as her for Hallowe’en. I remember shopping for the costume with my dad.

Money was extremely tight, so when I was a kid, I hardly ever got the opportunity to wear a store-bought costume. (Sure, I liked making my own costume, but when you’re a kid, it seemed like a big deal to be able to wear something that was already put-together.)

My dad made a huge sacrifice and bought me the store-made She-Ra costume. It was very simple (not deluxe), but it made me extremely happy to have this rare treat, and I appreciated it immensely.

I still have that costume carefully hung up in the closet at my mom’s place. And whenever I look at it, I smile as I think about some great childhood memories.
