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 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.

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.

Pink lovers, you’ll want this polish ‘right meow!’

As if an adorable kitten needs to call out for my attention! Little furballs make my heart melt, especially because they remind me of my cats from years gone by.

But, okay, OPI Look at My Bow!, I will do what you ask and look at your bow. It’s cute! 🙂

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!

Don’t look now, but my nails are mooning you! 😉

I’ve gone ‘plum crazy’ over this plum: OPI I’m in the Moon for Love from the Starlight Collection!

It reminds me slightly of the first non-drugstore nail polish that I’ve ever purchased: OPI Louvre Me Louvre Me Not. Although it’s not a dupe, they’re like sisters.

This shade is nostalgic for me because long before my love of green nail polishes, I was in love with berries, plums, and purples.

OPI I’m in the Moon for Love is one of those easy-to-wear colours because it’s not dark and not bright – just right and with a touch of subtle shimmer.

Nail polish and I are BFFs. So when a lacquer told me the other day that it wanted to spend some time apart and see what it was like to be on someone else’s nails, needless to say, I felt a little hurt.

But, since I’m not one to restrain the freedom of another, I let OPI Give Me Space from the Starlight Collection wander off and explore new territory. This was not before I prepared it a hearty breakfast and packed it an extra sweater (in case it got chilly) and a new bottle of top coat (in case the journey was long).

A few days later, to my great joy, I looked up and saw it skipping happily towards me! It came back, kissed my nails, and told me that there’s no place like Helmer home!

After hugging it long and hard, I promised it a special feature on the blog, so here is my detailed review of OPI Give Me Space! 😉
