Sephora by OPI! Spark-tacular!

Ive been looking for this little beauty for too long. Ive looked on ebay, amazon, everywhere and no luck! I started to give up, until one of my good friends said she was going to Florida, i jumped straight in and asked her to pick me up this, the best glitter top coat, Sparktacular! By Sephora by OPI. 

Beautiful polish, with small glitters and big glitters in rainbow colours.

I teamed this up with just a plain black by Barry M.

This is the end result. Baring in mind that was only 2 coats of the glitter polish im so impressed with it. It leaves loads of glitter on the nail and when i put more on it doesnt all spread and move around like some other glitters. This is my favorite rainbow glitter, i think i may prefer this one to the Nicole By OPI 'Rainbow in the s-kylie'! 

Unfortunatly i did recieve this from America, so i think it will be pretty hard to find in the UK. If you do come accross it though, its so worth it!

Whats your favorite rainbow glitter?

Nicole By OPI, Rainbow In The S-Kylie!

Uh oh! New love alert. I was in love with the Muppet collection 'Rainbow Connection' and i was completely gutted when i couldn't get hold of it, but then i spotted a uncanny dupe in the form of a differnt OPI. Had to be brought! I ended up getting this from ASOS, and yes, i did buy 3, not all for me!

This polish is part of the Kardashian Kolor range and is quite simply rainbow glitter, all different sizes, in a clear based polish. Isnt it beautiful!

Now with glitters, and different formula's its hard to estimate how thick its going to be, hows the glitter going to come out with one coat etc, so i thought ild try it on its own first, and see how it would go on.

 This is with a couple pretty thick coats, and i think it just looks amazing. Like literally nothing I've ever seen on my nails before! I like it like this, but i really wanted a differnt base colour, something to make it stand out even more, and im a sucker for a bit of pink so i thought ild team this beaut up with my favorite pink at the moment which is MUA in shade 16.

Quiet a cute couple, dont you think ;).

Without flash, sorry its a bit of a naff photo! This is mainly to show you the glitter.

With flash, the glitter looks a bit funny, but i wanted to show you the pink, this is my favourite pink at the moment!

I absolutely love this polish, my new found love, and i brought one for my friend and i cant wait to give it to her tomorrow! I also brought one for a cheeky little giveaway I'm planning for pretty soon, so please keep your eyes peeled, as i all want you to enter!

Lots of love.

OPI Katy Perry Last Friday Night!

Okay so, on my little spendout i brought my last piece from the Katy Perry collection, which is pretty much a blue version of Teenage Dream and its called Last Friday Night, i LOVE it!!

Also like teenage dream, its glitter, so if your just going to use this alone it will take a good few coats.

This is it with a couple coats, i do like it but i defiantly think it will look better with a base colour underneath, if you like a subtle hint of glitter though, this would be perfect!

I decided to match mine up with MUA love heart collection in 'U Rok!', which is a very parma-violet colour.

Heres the two together, what do you think? I also brought Zoya in Breezi (post coming soon) and reckon it will look great over that.

OPI Katy Perry The One That Got Away!

Okay, so you all know how much i rave about Teenage Dream, which is also part of the Katy Perry collection, well i have now extended my purchases to two more of the collection, and this was including 'The One That Got Away', ive loved this since i first saw it, but they are very find and when found, way to expensive. I managed to get hold of this for only £7.99, bargin!!

I love this, though i find it very simular to Meep Meep Meep, a varnish that was part of the Muppet collection. 

Its a deep red/pink shade with shimmer. 

I do really like it, but not as much as Teenage Dream, i even brought a 2nd Teenage Dream from the same website as it was the cheapest i saw it at £9.99, and my one at the minuite is nearly all gone (and thats a first!).

Let me know if you like it!

Nicole by Opi, Honey, dew you love me?

So, after my 'heart to resist' by OPI post i did the other week, i mentioned that i had brought pretty much the same thing, but in blue, and after a few days of waiting for the postman to arrive and my dissapointed face when it didnt arrive, it finally came. And oh its a beaut. 

 

Its a clear based polish, with blue hearts and silver flecks of glitter.

I paired mine up with MUA polish in shade 16, which is a beautiful pink shade. 

 Ahh, im so in love, i cant wait to try it with all differnt polishes! 

What do you think?

Nicole by Opi, a million sparkles!

As i was on one of my favorite beauty websites, i stumbled across a sign saying they had the new Nicole by OPI varnishes available, and knowing they had a polish i wanted (but they only had it in America) i clicked on it straight away, i spotted this colour immediatly and HAD, yes as a matter of urgancy, to get it. Its called 'A Million Sparkles', and the name does not lie.

Its blue glitter with gold specks of glitter and red shreds of glitter. On, this reminds me of Gone Gonzo, part of the muppet collection, but Gone Gonzo is much more tones of silver, but the blue is the same colour.

I teamed mine up with Rimmel London i love lasting finish in 'Azure' for the first two bottom coats, then applied 2 coats of  'A million sparkles'. 

What do you think? I love the differnt shapes of glitter!

Opi Pedal Faster Suzi!

I love a good OPI, and as soon as i saw the new Holland Collection swatches i fell in love. Half are shimmers and half are creams. I fell in love with this shade, its called Pedal Faster Suzi! 

Its a baby pink shimmer, not translucent, but you would need a couple thick coats to get the best results.

What do you think? Do you have any of the Holland Collection?

Opi Heart to resist!

Oh my god, thats all i can say. Im in love, complete love. This has got to be the best thing i have brought in a very long time. So much so, i have brought the exact same thing in blue (post coming soon when it arrives in the post!).

 May i introduce you ladies, to Opi's grand masterpeice that is 'Heart to resist'.

Its a clear polish, with flecks of glitter and small hearts. Im in love. 

Im guessing this was part of Opi's seasonal ranges, but it was really hard to find. But when Lauren sees something she likes, she has to have it.

I teamed mine up with Blue Moon by Barry M. 

I must admit, it was a challenge in itself just to try and get the hearts on the brush and onto my nail, but what do you think? I absolutly love it, and am tempted to buy another for when this one runs out!

Opi Big Apple Red!

Everybody needs a red in their nail varnish collection, so i was very surprised that i didn't. To me red nails are a symbol of femininity, of women pin ups in the 50's, and the ultimate sex symbol. With red being one of the most traditional colours, i knew i had to invest in a good, sex symbol-Esq red.

Marilyn Monroe and Dita Von Teese work the red nail look.  

To me, red nails make me feel more of a woman, more lady-like and vintage glamour. I really like Dita's backwards manicure.

OPI, they do my favorite polishes and they are the best make for high-end varnishes (in my opinion), so i wanted to purchase a really vintage red i knew it had to be OPI. I spotted 'Big Apple Red' and LOVED it. 

To me, this shade is the 'typical red'. It applys beautifully and drys glossy and fast.

I love this colour. And its a very strange sight for people not to see without glitter nails!

Whats your favorite red shade?

OPI Teenage Dream and Pink Friday!

Hello you. Now, ive blogged about these two polishes before, and i absolutly love them. But whenever ive used teenage dream, its always been really thickly with no pink undercoat. Im running very low on it now, so new to keep it going i had to find a shade that goes perfectly underneath! (I have never finished a nail varnish before, so you know this is love!). Nikki Minaj 'Pink Friday' is a stunning baby pink shade. And Katy Perry 'Teenage Dream' Is a pink bashed, glitter packed polish.

Sorry about the messy sides! I love these both together! And its a great way to pro-long your nail varnish, especially if there £12 a pot!

Nails of the day!

Just a qwick little post today. Ive only just got home from work and my throat feels like im swallowing razorblades but i HAD to show you my nails, because if truth be told, im pretty proud of them.
I used...

(Sorry for my shocking paint skills, i hope this is clear enough). While im here can i just express my love for these AMAZING glitter nail files! Small things please small minds, so they say.

Heres my finished look...

(Sorry im holding the eyeliner, took this picture for twitter and this is the clearest picture of the nails!)

How i did it...
Firstly i used the nail files to file my nails to desired shape. Then used the base coat to stop staining and to give a smoother base for my colours.
Then i used Pink Friday from the Nicki Minaj OPI collection and applied 2 coats to each nails and left to dry.
Once dry, i used Fly (also from the Nicki Minaj OPI collection) and very carefully used the small brush to sweep a diagional tip from each side, to create a zig-zag kind of impression. Overlap the diagional tip to create look. Doesnt have to be amazingly neat, we can sort that out later.
Left to completly dry and use your MUA felt tip eyeliner (can be any eyeliner, but this is so easy to use as its like a pen) and cover any mistakes and to create a even line.
Leave to completly dry. Then add a layer of top coat. I use Look Beauty Nail Pop (this stuff is amazing!). I did the top coat before the white dots as i did one nail white dots before top coat and it smeared all over my nail. Not cool.
Once top coat is dry, carefully use the white nail art pen and place dots along the eyeliner line. (you can use any colour, i just used white because its what i had).
Leave it to dry for a couple hours then apply top coat to the whole thing.
If you have any questions please comment me!

Hope you like and hope you start experimenting with your polishes with this design! MUA have told me that Shades 9 and 16 work a treat together. Hope you like.

Thanks!

Opi Nicki Minaj Minis!

This big Opi spend up has not been good for my bank balance, but for beautiful nails, i think i can justify. Ive recently brought the Nicki minaj mini collection, purely for the fact that i loved them all i didn't know which full size one to pick, so decided ill get 4 in mini form! The colours are literally like nothing ive ever seen before. I love each one.

The 4 bottles are very small, only enough for about 10 applications. But for £12 it was well worth the spend.

 First up is Did it on 'em, and its a green and yellow shade. Its actually like nothing ive ever seen before and i was actually pleasantly surprised when i saw it on my nails because this isn't a shade i would usually go for, but it looks so nice on!

This was taken without flash, i applied two coats but i reckon a third one is needed as i still had a few thin patches. 

This was with flash on, looks almost yellow florescent, but its defiantly darker then this in non-flash real life.

Next up is Fly. And i reckon this is probably my favourite shade. Its a bright sky blue and looks fab on.

This is without flash, isnt it beautiful?

This photo is with flash on, and this is defiantly the shade that it looks like in daylight. My fingers look so wrinkly.

3rd shade is Pink Friday. Ive got alot of baby pinks, and alot simular to this, but its nice to have a new one once in a while.

This picture is without flash, this was with 2 coats and i definatly need to put another one on as you can see thin bits. 

This picture is with flash on and it is such a nice pink. This reminds me of Niki minajs' pink lips that she always has.

Lastly is a mini verson of Metallic 4 life. This is a black/grey base with little specks of glitter and shimmer, its actully soo pretty. 

This photo is without flash as this picture is definatly how it comes out. Ah beautiful!

Which one is your favorite, i couldnt pick, i love them all!

Thanks for reading. Lots of love.

Opi Pirates of the Carribean Mermaids Tears!

Now, all the nail varnishes ive owned and worn recently have been packed with glitter, shimmer and anything that sparkles. But, ive stepped away from the glitter nails and gone back to basics with a stunning emmerald green made by OPI. I brought my sister this nail polish for christmas and loved it, my friend also has it and everyone ive spoke to about it have told me how much they have fallen in love with it, and truth me told. Im smitten with it.

Its so beautiful, a sort of green, jade, grey and emmerald shades and looks amazing on. The finish is glossy and smooth, and also qwick drying which is always a plus!

This picture is without flash, this picture gives of very grey shades. Yes that is my spotty bed cover and yes i am very lazy sitting in bed doing this, a long day at work has not helped!

Im actully in love with this polish. Aah! This picture is with flash on.

Goes amazingly with my new ring!!!

Thanks for reading my lovely readers.

Opi Muppet Collection Animal-istic!

If you are a regular visitor on my blog, you will be very aware of my obsession with OPI, and my slight obsession with glitter, just a little. This is my fourth muppet collection blog post, i have Gone Gonzo, Divine Swine, Meep meep meep and now ive added to my collection by purchasing the BEAUTIFUL Animal-istic, this is very simular to Meep meep meep. Where as Meep meep meep is very red and pinky fine glitter, this is red orangy fine glitter, i love them both!

As you can see its red tones and orange tones and shimmer glitter in it. It looks beautiful on!

This photo is with flash on.

This photo is without flash on. This was only with 2 coats, and such a beautiful, glossy colour! This would look amazing in the summer. 

Do you have any favorite OPI's?

Thanks for reading!

OPI Muppet Collection Gone Gonzo!

My sister is the best sister in the world, she knows me too well and for christmas she added to my OPI glitter collection by getting me the muppet Gone Gonzo! I already have Divine Swine which is purple/pink glitter and this one is very simular glitter but bright blue/ silver. This is amazing, i think i may love it more then Divine Swine!

                                                            This picture is with flash on.

These pictures are without flash and are more true to the colour. With any intense glitters i had to put this on quiet thickly, but to be honest, its worth it right? This colour will be amazing in the summer. If your going to invest in a top nail varnish, its got to be OPI everytime!

Thanks for reading!
