Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kolors Collection Swatches & Review
Posted by Unknown on Monday, November 28, 2011
Happy Monday! Today I have Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kolors Collection to share. This collection consists of 14 polishes with a mix of glitters, shimmers, and cremes!
Rainbow in the S-Kylie is a rainbow mix of big hex glitters and small glitters in a clear base. This was 3 coats. It's pretty much a dupe to Rainbow Connection.
Disco Dolls is a gold glitter mixed with multicolored glitters. 3 coats. Very interesting, I like!
Kendall on the Katwalk is a blue silver glitter with a sheer blue base. 2 coats
Wear Something Spar-Kylie is a pink and silver glitter with a sheer jelly like pink base. 3 coats.
Follow Me on Glitter is a charcoal silver glitter mixed with multicolored glitters. 3 coats. The multicolor glitters are not as visible here as Disco Dolls.
It's All About the Glame is a pearly white creme with hints of silver shimmer. 3 coats. I like this one because it looks pretty elegant.
Kim-pletely in Love is a baby pink creme with hints of white-ish silver shimmer. 3 coats
Listen to Your Momager is a royal blue shimmer. 2 coats
Kourt is Red-y for a Pedi is a orange red creme. 2 coats.
Sealed with a Kris is a dark brick red creme. 2 coats.
Hard Kourt Fashionita is a dark brown creme. 2 coats.
My Empire..My Rules is a light tan brown gray creme. 2 coats
All Kendall-ed Up is a bright barbie pink creme. 2 coats
Khloe Had a Little Lam-Lam is a dark teal creme. 2 coats.
The formula for these were great, they all applied smoothly and even with no complaints. The cremes were pretty opaque with just two coats. The glitters weren't hard to work with. As for the colors, there are some hits and misses. Some are easily dupeable and some are just plain boring. But I did have a few favorites, such as Khloe Had a Little Lam-Lam, Disco Dolls, and It's All About the Glam. Overall, the collection is not bad. The only thing I didn't like were the names, no offense, but they were a bit...corny. But sometimes, it's mostly the color that counts! :D
What do you guys think of this collection? Which are your favorites?

OPI The Muppets Collection Swatches & Review
Posted by Unknown on Monday, November 21, 2011
Hi all! Sorry that I took a mini break from posting. But I'm back and have plenty of posts to share with you guys! Today I have OPI's The Muppets Collection. I have a confession, when I was about 3 or 4, I used to terrified of Miss Piggy. It just irked me that she talked and she had those huge eyes. Silly I know but I was young! Haha. This collection consists of 6 glitters and 6 shimmers.
Rainbow Connection is a multicolored glitter with clear base. This was four coats. It's a mix of large hex glitters and small round glitters.
Excuse Moi! is a pink glitter with silver hex glitters. It has a sheer pink base. 3 coats. This was the most opaque glitter of the collection.
Gone Gonzo! is a icey blue glitter with silver hex glitters in a clear base. 3 coats.
Gettin' Miss Piggy with It is a golden red glitter with silver hex glitters in a clear base. 3 coats
Divine Swine is a purple glitter with silver hex glitters in clear base. 3 coats
Fresh Frog of Bel Air is a green glitter with silver hex glitters in a clear base. 3 coats.
Animal-istic is a bright red shimmer. 2 coats
Meep-Meep-Meep is a fuchsia shimmer. 2 coats
Wocka Wocka! is a wine red shimmer. 2 coats
Warm & Fozzie is mix of brown, green, and gold shimmer. A very interesting color. 2 coats
Designer..de Better is a silvery pink metallic. 2 coats. What's interesting about this one is, if you look super closely, you can see pink specks on it!
Pepe's Purple Passion is a plum purple with pinkish flakes. 2 coats. They're not exactly flakies, but they're like bits of non-shiny glitter inside the polish that makes it look interesting. It's quite hard to describe.
The formula for these were pretty good. I just wished the glitters were more opaque. Maybe they're more meant for top coats, but I prefer to wear glitters alone, that's just me. As for the shimmers, I also wished it was a variety of colors instead of just red tones.
Overall, the collection isn't too bad. Quite an interesting collection. My favorites are Rainbow Connection, Excuse Moi!, and Designer...de Better.
That's all I have for today! What do you guys think of the Muppets collection?

Deborah Lippmann Get This Party Started Set Swatches & Review
Posted by Unknown on Friday, October 7, 2011
Today I finally have the set from Deborah Lippmann called Get This Party Started. I know this set came out like months ago, but I finally got the chance to do some swatches on it. This set contains three polishes, one is the popular glitter polish Happy Birthday, along with one pink with multicolored glitters, and a black with multicolored glitters. Let's take a look.
Happy Birthday is obviously should be worn as a top coat since it's not full coverage. This was three coats. I've read that there are differences between the new Happy Birthday and the old Happy Birthday. The only big difference is that the old Happy Birthday has tiny square multicolored glitters and the new ones have tiny round multicolored glitters. I know you can barely tell if you just take a glance.
Candy Shop is a sheer bubble gum pink creme packed with Happy Birthday glitters. 3 coats. I love the finish of this. I love how the glitters look like its stuck inside the polish trying to escape. I've seen a lot of ladies franken this polish because well it's pretty easy and simple. You actually don't even have to franken it. You can easily apply a pink base coat and a coat of multicolored glitters and apply two coats of sheer pink over it. The finish is quite similar.
Forget You (I see you driving around town with the guy I love and I'm like...forget youuuu) anyways Forget You is a sheer black creme with Happy Birthday glitters. 3 coats. This one was a so-so for me. Don't love it but don't hate it as well. This one looks like Happy Birthday is applied OVER a black creme, which makes it not so special compared to the Candy Shop.
The formula for these were a little hard to work with since we are dealing with so many glitters. It's hard to get the glitters to stay put, especially near the edges. I hate having to file down my nails because the glitters are perked out and cutting me. They were a little thick, again that's because we're dealing with so much glitters.
Overall, I was satisfied with this set. I just wished they included another color mixed with Happy Birthday instead of putting a bottle of Happy Birthday to the set. Like maybe a green one, just saying! Other than that, I have no complaints!
This set is still available at nordstrom.com for $42.
Did you buy this set? What do you think of it?

Sephora by OPI Spark-tacular! Top Coat
Posted by Unknown on Sunday, August 21, 2011
Good morning all! Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend so far. Next thing you know it's Monday soon :(
Today is me and my boyfriend's 4 year anniversary. I decided to do my nails with Sephora by OPI Spark-tacular Top Coat over white. And I must say, it looks quite festive, exactly what I had in mind!
Spark-tacular! Top Coat is a clear base with multicolored glitters in various sizes. We have tiny glitters and then we have hex glitters, all the glitters are in different colors, which makes this amazing. This was 2 coats over white.
It's like a little sister to Lippmann's Happy Birthday. The glitters are more dense and a little less vibrant, it's soft to the eyes. I really like how this one turned out! Glitters are smooth after applying one coat of top coat. I haven't removed them yet so I'm not too sure if these are gonna be tough to remove. I'm hoping it won't be.
I can't really say much about the formula being that it's a top coat really. But it was a little watered down and running, but nothing too hard to work with. I let each finger dry for 1-2 minutes before applying the second, this usually avoids the balding of the glitters.
Well that's all I have for today. What do you guys think of Spark-tacular? Do you love it just as much as I do?

Skittle nails inspired by Scrangie
Posted by Unknown on Sunday, August 23, 2009
Hi everyone! All these nail polish swatching is keeping me busy. But of course I'm having fun with it. However, while I was going through Scrangie's blog, I was inspired by her skittle nails with konad design. I decided to try it for myself. And I absolutely love it. I received so many compliments on it and people asking me how and where I get it done. They were surprised that I did it myself. Oh the wonders of Konad<3 href="http://www.scrangie.com/2009/08/starting-off-konad-week.html">here
All nail colors are from OPI. Thumb to pinky: Big Apple Red, Brights Power, The IT color, Greenwich Village, and Dating A Royal. Konad plates m74 with black konad special polish.
It is VERY artistic, and I adore it.
Of course I couldn't help but to apply Rescue Beauty Lounge Matte top coat on it. I think this was the only one I didn't like matte. It dulls out the bright colors. My boyfriend liked the non-matte one as well.
Well that is all I have for you today. I've plenty more to go!!
