Whoa – it’s been quite some time since I reviewed a scented candle on here!
The most recent one I’ve been burning is the Bath & Body Works Merry Cookie Candle, which (obviously) came out around Christmas.
Although it’s harder to find now, you can still spot a few on clearance.
The packaging is cutesy, and the scent will have you drooling like one of one of Pavlov’s dogs!
Yesterday, I painted my nails with OPI What Wizardry Is This?, which is from the OPI Disney’s Oz the Great and Powerful Collection due out in March.
If you follow me on Instagram, you got a first peek at some bottle shots from the collection that I took quickly with my iPhone on Tuesday. I was so ecstatic, so I had to share!
Andddd…I am still very excited because this is the latest addition to the Liquid Sands series – it’s the 5th one.
It’s different than the Liquid Sands in the Mariah Carey by OPI Collection. In this post, I’ll explain my experience wearing this as a full manicure.
OPI The Impossible from the Mariah Carey Collection reminds me of cherry Jell-o a bit because it has that jellyish look. However, instead of being shiny like a jelly, it has the awesome Liquid Sand finish, which is a matte texture.
It’s safe to say that I’m completely smitten by the Liquid Sands. Everything from the unique concept to the quick dry time floats my polish boat.
I’ve now worn, enjoyed, and reviewed all 4 of the Liquid Sands from the Mariah Carey Collection. And, shortly, I hope to crack open the new Liquid Sand nail polish from the Oz the Great and Powerful Collection!
(By the way, if you haven’t already seen the quick Oz bottle shots I shared on Instagram yesterday, check them out! I think that even those who weren’t excited about the collection before may be more interested now. The glitters are hot stuff!)
Also, everyone, please keep your fingers, toes, and eyes crossed that OPI will put out an emerald-green Liquid Sand! I might faint! (And you all want me to faint, right? Wait a minute…) 😉
But…without further ado, let’s get on with the review of OPI The Impossible!
If you follow me on Instagram, you already saw a sneak-peek photo of OPI Can’t Let Go well in advance of this blog post!
It took me some time to crop the photos, but it’s finally done and ready to go. 🙂
I have worn all of the OPI Liquid Sands. The review on the last one (the red polish called The Impossible) will be coming soon. Keep your eyes peeled like a banana!
OPI Can’t Let Go is from the Mariah Carey Collection, and it’s the 3rd Liquid Sand polish I wore.
If you’re a purple lover, you’ll probably like this one. I sure did!
While I’m obsessed with the Liquid Sands, that doesn’t mean I neglected the rest of the Mariah Carey by OPI Collection!
Ever since I got OPI Pink Yet Lavender, I’ve been dying to layer it over another colour.
Pretty Serious Hot Summer Nights was The Chosen One.
The two polishes became instant soul mates. I’ve even caught the extroverted glitter sneaking into my Helmer’s blue drawer to find Hot Summer Nights. 😉 (Haha, that could be interpreted in a variety of ways!)
The result was unexpected (I’ll explain later in this post), and I fell in love with it because it almost had a galactic vibe.
I swear this nail-polish combination wanted to live forever on my nails. A cute little shriek could be heard when it saw a cotton ball soaked with acetone getting closer…and closer…and closer! *Psycho knife/shower scene music here*
But it had a good run. And I’m pretty sure that I’ll wear this combination again. It’s one of my favourites!
Pretty Serious Hot Summer Nights is from the Christmas Without Snow Collection.
It made me think about how, after last winter was unusually mild here, a lot of people were predicting that Mother Nature would hook up with Old Man Winter this year for a real doozie!
Thankfully, that hasn’t been the case. Mother Nature didn’t reply to Old Man Winter’s e-mail….yet! 😉 Maybe she’s busy planning an awesome summer, and she doesn’t want to get distracted. Or maybe his e-mail accidentally landed in the spam folder…
Pretty Serious Blue Gums on Boxing Day is from the Christmas Without Snow Collection.
The name cracks me up because it conjures up a mental image of chattering teeth on a winter’s day or the way Polar Bear Plunge participants must feel after they jump into the freezing water.
Wikipedia says that a Blue Gum can refer to Eucalyptus in Australia.
Considering that Pretty Serious Cosmetics is an Australian brand, this plant is probably what they’re referring to. Still, I like my idea of chattering teeth because it brings to mind those little wind-up toys that are both amusing and creepy.
