My OPI Collection

Today's post is going to be dedicated to my OPI collection. It's by no means the biggest collection but I'm happy with my ever growing collection. I'm thinking of doing a post like this for my China Glaze collection and then maybe with the rest of my nail polishes. I'm just going to do a brief overview of the colours so if you want a more in-depth review or look at a certain colour then feel free to comment below or email me. Address can be found in the contact me tab above. Now onto the pretty things...

I also own the James Bond 'The Man With The Golden Gun' 18K Gold Top Coat but forgot to take a picture as I keep it in it's box separately. I know this is kinda sad but I did mention it in a NOTN post here.

How many OPI polishes do you own?

Zoya Lovely Collection for Spring 2013

Today i'm here to talk about another Spring 2013 collection I'm excited about. I'm a bit late as these are already available to buy but I thought whats the harm in sharing the beauty that is these new shades. The only downside to these are they are very hard maybe even impossible to get hold of in the UK. So you could always try eBay or maybe a swap with someone lovely in the US. Anyway onto the shades...

"Spring is awash in six soft and lovely new Zoya shades including three dewy metallics and three fresh blooms of cream. Poetic in nature, this collection is sure to capture the beauty of the season like no other."

Julie

Julie can be best described as a full coverage, soft wisteria purple metallic. The soft colour and subtle shimmer give nails a feminine and delicate look. Originally created as a custom runway shade for fashion designer Zang Toi.

Neely

Neely can be best described as a full coverage earliest spring green in a glossy creme finish. A fun colour in muted finish gives a cool vintage edge to your look. Originally created as a custom runway shade for fashion designer Peter Som.

Jacqueline

Jacqueline can be best described as a full coverage perfect magnolia nude cream. This light creamy beige has slight warm undertones and a glossy cream finish. Originally created as a custom runway shade for fashion designer Peter Som.

GeiGei
GeiGei can be best described as a full coverage blushing cherry blossom pink metallic. A shimmery light shade for an always-appropriate natural pink nail look. Originally created as a custom runway shade for fashion designer Zang Toi.

Piaf
Piaf can be best described as a full coverage fresh forsythia yellow metallic. A light, cheerful yellow that's soft and easy to wear thanks to the subtle shimmer finish. Originally created as a custom runway shade for fashion designer Zang Toi.

Blu
Blu can be described as a full coverage soft and delicate pale baby blue with a glossy creme finish. A dreamy, calming blue that's both fun and flattering on the nails.

I absolutely adore this collection and only wish it was easier to get hold of in the UK. My favourite shades have to be Neely, Julie and Jacqueline. All information was found from the Zoya website.

What's your favourite?

Color Club All About French Collection

Just before Christmas I did a post about the amazing deal I found in TK Maxx on these Color Club sets for £7.99 for 7 polishes. You can read that post here.

So today I want to show you the 'All About French' collection. As these bottles come with no name on each polish I tried to do some digging to find out what one's I had. I've read some other peoples posts on these sets and it seems a lot of people get different colours in each set. This isn't surprising for TK Maxx as packaging is always open and people blatantly switch colours around to what they want.

On the back of the packaging it does give you a list of names, well 3 lists in this case so I'm guessing there are 3 different sets out there. As hard as I looked I couldn't find anyone who had the same colours as me so I'm sorry for that but you can still admire the pretty colours right?

This is a little deeper in real life but looks like it will be a lovely pinky coral for the summer.

This is a very sheer pink pearl colour. It definitely will take a good few coats to make it a solid colour.

This is the most perfect baby pink colour. Reminds me a lot of Essies Ballet Slippers.

This is a slightly deeper pink then the previous one. A bit more of a Barbie pink.

This is one of the two glitters in the set. Its a pretty pink fine glitter in a pale pink varnish.

This is the only colour in the set which isn't pink or a glitter. It's a gorgeous pale egg blue.

The final polish is the second glitter. Its a white pearl fine glitter suspended in a clear polish.

Like with the other set, when I get a chance to wear all these colours I will do swatches and a review.

Color Club Glitter Vixen Collection

A while ago I picked up this little beaut in TK Maxx for a bargain price of £7.99!! 7 Glitter polishes from Color Club. I've been meaning to post about them for a while and also review them but I haven't had the chance to actually wear them. All 7 of these are made up of multi-sized glitter suspended in clear polish. Most glitter polishes apply sparsely – these are the complete opposite of sparse. Anyway onto the colours...

Object Of Envy

Object of Envy is a gorgeous emerald green. I definitely do not own anything like this.

Art Of Seduction

This one will make everyone very much think of China Glazes 'Ruby Pumps' but they are massively different. 'Ruby Pumps' is very opaque and is a very fine glitter in a very sheer red polish whereas 'Art of Seduction' is full on red glitter in a clear polish so you can build it up, perfect for this festive time of year.

Sex Symbol

This is such a lovely silver glitter. I can't wait to try this out. I will probably wear this on my ring finger as a accent nail.

Magic Attraction

This is the one polish of the 7 I am most excited to try out. It's a holographic chunky glitter to which I don't own any others.

Sexy Siren

I love this colour. Who doesn't love a turquoise glitter polish.

Tru Passion

This is a delightful violet colour, and you can't go wrong with violet and glitter.

Sultry

I am currently wearing this on my nails as I have to work tomorrow (Christmas Day) so to get my into some sort of a Christmas mood I painted this and surprisingly it only took 2 coats to get a perfect finish.

Hope you enjoyed this little overview and when I get a chance to wear a few more of the colours I might do a swatch & review post. I also have another Color Club Collection post coming up.
