Obsessed (Mariah Opi Mini Set)













 I seem to be gathering quite a collection of these Opi minis and I have been waiting for the release of this one for a while. I am and have never been a fan of Mariah,don't get me wrong I like a few of her songs but I am by no means a fangirl (ugh).

 I don't really know what to make of her to be honest but if she really had anything to do with this collection then I could see myself becoming a fan.When I intially saw the colours I didn't really associate them with with Mariah. I expected Pinks, Purples and where are the butterflies and rainbows?. As for Liquid Sand? its basically matte glitter which doesn't sound as exciting. I love the choice of colours, with these sets there is usually at least one dud shade or a bottle of Opi rapid dry that is not appreciated.

From L-R

Stay the Night (Matte black with red glitter)3.75ml

The Impossible (Matte Fuschia)3.75ml

Can't Let Go (Matte Purple)3.75ml

 Get your Number (Matte Blue) 3.75ml



I have had a look at the rest of the collection and have my eye on A Butterfly Moment, Pink yet Lavender & Sprung. I may or may not have already purcahsed these!

I purchased my set from Ebay. The seller is linked here

What do you think of this collection? What is your favourite shade?

NOTD: OPI Minnie Mouse Mini Collection - I'm all ears


This is from the Opi Minnie Mouse Mini collection. I purchased this for £7.50 on buyapowa link.

The colour is described as a glittery magenta. This picture doesn't do it justice, it is infact very bright.

What do you think of this shade? What's your favourite shade from this collection?

NOTD: Nicole by Opi - Its all about the glam

This was part of a limited edition Kardashian Kollection by Nicole for Opi. I wasn't too fussed when I first saw it on ASOS but as with all LE now that it is hard to find I want it! The colour is a milky white with a fine purple/pink shimmer that runs through. The bottle is different to the typical opi shape we are used to and the formula is sheer but buildable. It took four coats to get it to what you see in the pictures but it does dry pretty quickly between coats.This was an Ebay purchase from this seller  it is also available from this seller
 


I have my eye on kim-pletely in love which is similar to this but pink. Laura from Secret diary of a fashion journalist reviewed it here

What do you think of this colour? Will you be buying this?

NOTD

Base: Opi nail envy
Polish: Opi Sparrow me the drama
Topcoat: Seche vite

I love this colour I tend to have a lot of bright pinks or pastel pinks this is somewhat different. This took 3 coats , the formulation is not the best I found it to be a bit streaky even after 2 coats. I can't vouch for drying time as I use SV.

What do you think?
