OPI – Minnie Mouse Collection

Here is a fun and flirty looking Summer 2012 collection by OPI called Minnie Mouse. I have not yet gotten my hands on but I cannot wait for it to arrive in the post. But here are some samples by others.

I am really loving that Barbie pink color. The glitter nail polish looks kinda cute but I can already tell that is going to be a bit of a hassle to apply, you always have to fish those glitter pieces out.

Do you own any of these? which one is your fav?

I would love to match up these polishes with fuchsia lipstick.

Jordana Haul and Swatches

jordana cheap nail polish

Couldn’t resist buying up some polishes today, luckily the colors that caught my attention were from the cheapie range Jordana.

The first is called Creamy Fuchsia and is anything but fuchsia, even if it were creamy. This is more of a salmoney hot pink, very caliente! Can’t wait for summer to wear it, I think it will look amazing against tanned skin (not so great against my dry, winter chapped hands).

The second nail polish is my favourite shade, it’s called Boy Oh Boy and is a gorgeous teal. However, I could NOT get this color to photography correctly, it always turns out much bluer and lighter in the images.

The third polish is from the Jordana Glitters range called Lunar Lights and it is a multi colored holographic glitter with larger hex glitter and tiny round glitter in a milky jelly. I just loved the sparkle. This polish smells very strongly of the type of glue I used as a kid in school. I unfortunately have to say it smelled cheap, even though the price for this one was dearer (coming in at $5.95 as opposed to $3.50 for the other two).

….and now for the pictures, please excuse the short nails, dry hands and dodgy mani. Two coats of the teal and pink and then one top coat of glitter.

OPI – Steady As She Rose

OPI - Steady As She Rose

Steady As She Rose by OPI is a cool dusty, greyish rose with strong lilac undertones, not much rose as the name implies but my eyes pick up more of the lilac. I enjoyed wearing this, it’s a very subtle polish that delivers a very nice and neat looking mani.

I used three coats, the formula was consistent and smooth and dried fairly quickly.  This one is one of my favourites out of the Pirates of The Caribbean Collection.

Rimmel – Hot Shot

rimmel hot shot a hot pink nail polish

Hot Shot by Rimmel is part of the  I Love Lasting Finish Collection. This is a great hot pink that is very warm and lustrous. I am using this one in winter but I can imagine this looking fab in the summer against tanned skin. Like the other Rimmel polishes on this blog, I scored this one for a bargain at Big W for $1.84 (usually retails at $5 something). I love good bargains in nail polish, cannot go past them.

The formula in this is okay, a bit thicker than the others I tried from the same line and you can see the thickness of the polish in the image above. I used two coats and it dried fairly quickly.

Rimmel – Strawberry Fizz

Strawberry Fizz by Rimmel, hot pink nail polish swatch

Strawberry Fizz nail polish by Rimmel is part of the I Love Fruities Collection and is a strawberry scented hot pink nail polish.

I love this color, a nice Barbie pink shade that really stands out. I applied three coats to get this opacity, it does dry fairly quickly so that is a plus side to this polish. Another pro to this polish is that it is not too costly, usually retailing at $5 something (here is Australia) but I got a major bargain as it was reduced to $1.84 (Aussie dollars) at good old Big W which is very cheap. (I bought a good 8 Rimmel polishes that day so you will see them coming up here, in fact I have already used quite a few so you can see them under the Rimmel Category). I love a good nail polish bargain, that is something that will really brighten up my day!

I loved this color so much that I took copious amounts of pictures of my nails so we can see this amazing pink in all different lighting conditions! If you see this polish and you love pink then you probably will not be disappointed with this color!

Nubar – Pink

nubar-pastel-pink-creme-nail-swatch

If you are looking for a true Barbie Pink nail polish color then Pink Creme from Nubar’s Pastel Fever Collection is for you! A real Pepto Bismol pink. When I saw this color in the bottle I thought it would be a bit more demure than how it actually turned out. It is a very noticeable nail color, I felt very bubbly and girly wearing it.

This polish dried superbly fast! There was a bit for streakiness but not too bad. I only used two coats for these images. Has a very nice glossy finish.

Essie – Tour De Finance

Essie – Tour De Finance from the Navigate Her Spring 2012 collection is a bright fuchsia pink with a pink/purple/blue shimmer. The shimmer really does lend this polish something special and it gives this hot color a cooler shade in certain lights when your eye catches the shimmer.

The following images are in various lighting conditions with just two coats of polish!

OPI – You Callin’ Me A Lyre? is a sheer pink jelly polish from the 2012 New York City Ballet Collection. Nothing new really, nice and sweet nonetheless.

I used three coats for this mani, this jelly formula is good, no streaking!

Misa – Baby I Love You

misa-baby-i-love-you-nail-polish-swatch-pink

I LOVE Baby I Love You from Misa.  A soft corally pink that is very girly, feminine and a perfect shade for summer. This is the exact kind of color I am into at the moment. Great cream based polish with only two coats needed for full opacity.

Sugar Pink Ombre Nails

Took it upon myself to perform some quick nail art today. Wanted to create that super popular ombre, gradient look you see just about everywhere. I love it!

So, I just used a makeup sponge and used three different shades of pink which I sponged on with my shaky hand. I really need more practice to perfect the blending but I quite like how this turned out.

I used:

  1. Opi – Pink-ing of you (base)
  2. Natio – Vivid Fuchsia (middle color)
  3. Natio – Raspberry Rays (tip color)
  4. Misa – Sweet Pleasure (top Coat)
