OPI You Are So Outta Lime! Swatches & Review

6 Replies

OPI You Are So Outta Lime Swatches & ReviewGreen is a colour that I’m always itching to wear, and OPI You Are So Outta Lime! from the Neon Collection was calling my name (but not like a mother telling you to make your bed)! 😉

This lime green is not for those who shy away from loud colours or who stay close to traditional fare.

OPI You Are So Outta Lime! is just the right punch of colour that says, “Hells yeah – I’ve arrived!”

Hehe, yeah, so apparently it’s a bit into itself. Can you blame it? (I can never blame a good green! Biased? A bit! Honest? Fo’ sho’!)

OPI Wipe-Off! Acetone Free Lacquer Remover Wipes Press Release

4 Replies

OPI Wipe-Off! Acetone Free Lacquer Remover WipesStarting July, you’ll be able to get your manicured hands on the OPI Wipe-Off! Acetone Free Lacquer Remover Wipes.

I think this is a great idea! I’ve never tried any nail-polish remover wipes, but they’d be perfect for when you’re on vacation or even just to have in your purse in case your manicure chips and you’d rather remove the polish than wear it all raggedy.

Plus I like how it’s free of acetone and is supposed to have a lavender scent!

When I try these, I’ll definitely let you know what I think of them. Stay tuned! (I imagine that they’d work well for cremes and shimmers, but I’m curious if they also are heavy duty enough for glitter polishes.) But, for now, check out the rest of this post for more details.

OPI Push & Pur-Pull Swatches & Review

12 Replies

OPI Push & Pur-Pull Swatches & ReviewToday, I have for you an in-depth review of OPI Push & Pur-Pull, which is from the Neon Collection that I did a Quick Look post on earlier.

Please note that in real life, the polish has a touch more pink undertones than what the bottle pictures might suggest. (I wasn’t able to get spot-on colour accuracy with my camera, and I keep it simple and don’t do colour correction with editing software.)

In the bottle, it looks like an ordinary purple, but I was so happy to see that on the nails, it has a jelly-ish finish for that ‘squishy’ look that’s so cool!

You must wear a top coat to really bring out the outstanding beauty and the jelly-ish finish.

You know, whenever I see purples added to a neon collection, I tend to get very hopeful. But, in actuality, I don’t think there’s such a thing as a true deep neon purple.

OPI Push & Pur-Pull is very pretty, but I definitely don’t consider it to be a retina-burning neon. (Same deal with ‘neon’ blues. They’re often not as bright as their pink, coral, green, and yellow counterparts.)

OPI You’re So Vain-illa Swatches & Review

8 Replies

OPI You're So Vain-illa Swatches & ReviewOPI You’re So Vain-illa from the Coca-Cola Collection that I did a Quick Look post on not long ago isn’t a typical colour that I would naturally gravitate toward.

Brights, bold shades, and in-your-face colours usually make my heart race, but sometimes you need to slow down and enjoy something more demure in order to truly appreciate the louder variety.

OPI You’re So Vain-illa is one of those shades that could go really well or clash with your skin tone. I see these kind of shades as being almost like foundation – you have to get the right undertone, or it could look really wrong.

I don’t have many nudes, so I was really happy to add this one to my collection. And I really enjoy how clean this polish makes my nails look without being harsh like a white.

Quick Look: OPI Ford Mustang Collection Swatches & Bottle Shots

10 Replies

OPI Ford Mustang CollectionYesterday, I shared with you the press release on the OPI Ford Mustang Collection that’s set to be released in July, and today, you get to see the real deal! 🙂 YAY!

Last night, I came home to a box full of the entire OPI Ford Mustang Collection, so I whipped up this quick post for today because I just had to show you. I know many were interested in seeing them!

The shimmery blue gets my attention the most because you can never really have too many of those colours, right? Right? 😉

All of these colours can easily be combined with each other, so I think many fellow nailphiles will consider them to be manicure staples.

Note: The OPI Ford Mustang nail polishes have the Ford Mustang horse logo all over the caps, but since mine are press samples, they don’t have that. If you buy any in the store, yours will have that neat feature. The horse pattern is printed on the cap’s shrink wrap. (Check out the press release linked above to see what the horses on the caps look like.)

OPI Ford Mustang Collection Press Release & Bottle Promo Pictures

4 Replies

OPI Ford Mustang Collection 2014You may remember that I shared some press information about the OPI Ford Mustang Collection back in March.

Well, yesterday, PR sent me additional information about the OPI Ford Mustang Collection and of the 6 colours, which are set to be released in July.

Check out the rest of this post to learn more about each shade in detail and see the bottle promo pictures!

The handles are covered with a really cool Ford Mustang horse, which sets it apart from other OPI nail polishes.

Out of all the colours, my heart beats faster for The Sky’s My Limit. You can never have too many shimmery blues! 😉

I’m curious to find out if 50 Years of Style (the golden pearl) will be streaky or not.

Angel with a Leadfoot could be interesting if it actually has an ethereal, ‘halo-like’ look to it.

Is there one shade that speaks to you?

Edit: Click here to see my Quick Look post featuring swatches and bottle shots of the entire OPI Ford Mustang Collection!

OPI Coca-Cola Collection PicturesThe OPI Coca-Cola Collection launches this month, so if you haven’t already seen them tip-toe into stores, you will soon!

(In case you missed it, be sure to check out my post on the official OPI Coca-Cola Collection press release for more information.)

Since it’ll take me some time to wear each one individually as a full manicure, here’s my Quick Look post with bottle shots and simple swatches to whet your appetite. 😉

You know that I’m a green fiend, so Green on the Runway is my first pick from the OPI Coca-Cola Collection.

But, it’s closely followed by Orange You Fantastic!, which is an interesting glitter that reminds me of autumn, my favourite season.

The other shades are nice enough, and they all look very easy to wear.

Which are your top picks?
