Mini OPI's

I had a bit of fun on ebay and may have gotten slightly carried away. I ordered a bunch of the OPI mini's.

The mini's are tiny. Absolutely tiny.

I ordered Go Goth. The 2010 Halloween polishes, featuring Sanguine, Obscurity, Nevermore and Unripened.
I also thought I'd grab the 2009 Halloween polishes, with Witch Arm, Tattoo Want Candy, I Love Mummy and Glow-Ink the Dark. I needed to round of the Halloween collection.

Obscurity: Matte black.  Nevermore: basically OPI Ink. Sanguine: Blood red. Unripened:" Black with turquoise shimmer.

Witch Arm: black creme. Glow-Ink the Dark: rather sheer glowing cornflower. Tattoo Want Candy: bright orange creme. I love Mummy: White creme.

Glow-Ink the Dark, Witch Arm, I love Mummy, Tattoo Want candy. (All one coat only)

I also felt the need for some mid year christmas cheer, so I ordered the 2009 Mini Merries.
I am in love with Shim-merry Chic! Must get full size.

Mini Merries: Comet loves Cupid, All a-Bordeaux the Sled, Holiday Glow and Shim-merry Chic.

Shim-merry Chic, Holiday Glow, All a-Bordeaux the Sled and Comet loves Cupid.

 Shim-merry Chic: as I said I love this colour. Antique bronzey gold with glitter and flecks and sparkles and shimmer. Christmas.
Holiday Glow: I really didn't like this one. Its just too brown and dirty for me. Although I loved it layered over All a-Bordeaux the Sled.
All a-Bordeaux the Sled: A dark vampy wine red. Not really my colour, I'm much more of a pink girl. I do like it with Holiday glow layered over top though.
Comet Loves Cupid: A bright red creme. I like this colour but I'm not really a red nail girl.

More gorgeous OPI!

As well as my very long awaited for package of NYX eyeshadow trio's I also received a nicely bubble wrapped parcel of OPI nail polishes.

These arrived in record time. I ordered them as some retail theropy when I was feeling unsettled and uneasy on Wednesday while we were waiting for news and they arrived with the courier on Thursday morning before 8am.
I would highly recommend Beyond Beauty for buying your OPI nail polish.

After much debating I decided on colours I wanted.

Nomads Dream, Who needs a Prince?, Dancing in the Isles and Affair in Red Square.

Nomads Dream: I just had to have, I saw a beautiful swatch somewhere on the internet and knew I needed it. I'm not sure its really me, but I'm determined to make it me!

Nomads Dream

Who Needs a Prince?: Who needs a prince when you have this gorgeous colour on your nails. I just need to look at my nils and it cheers me up. This is perfect for me with 2 coats. Sheer and shimmering. I love the tiny red shimmers in this sheer white polish.

Who needs a Prince?

Dancing in the Isles: I'm looking for the perfect pink. I'm not sure that I found it. Dancing in the Isles is a beautiful colour. I wore this today and wasn't feeling it. I think it's more of a summer polish than a "I wish it was summer so I'm going to wear a summer polish with my winter white hands".

Dancing in the Isles

Affair in Red Square: wow, I'm in love. This is an amazing red. It glows from within. The perfect shade of red, the perfect amount of shimmer, the perfect glow. It's just plan perfection. I can see myself wearing Nyx round lipstick Hebe and Affair in Red Square on my nails.

Nomads Dream, Dancing in the Isles, Affair in Red Square and Melon of Troy

You may have noticed that Melon of Troy magically appeared. Melon of Troy made it into my collection as I realised I now had an odd number of polishes and still felt the need to indulge in some more retail therapy.
I needed milk, so I drove a little out of my way to the mall and bought milk and stopped off to buy Melon of Troy as well. I was after the perfect peachy coral. I'm pretty happy with Melon of Troy so far!

OPI Excitment

Yesterday I had a long awaited for package of NYX and today, running late again, I found an exciting parcel of OPI on my doorstep. It's not encouraging me to get up earlier and be on time!

Lets see the Ring, Princesses Rule!, Heart Throb, Dim Sim Plum and Dutch Tulips.

Nail polish is a very recent obsession of mine. I've only just seemed to notice my nails are not the same as when I was a teenager. I had very week nails that broke easily and were never lon enough to look good with polish. Now my nails seem alot stronger and have been growing nicely. I also seem to have just discovered the vast shades of nail polish I can buy!
I played it safe with this order, but I love all the colours.

Lets see the ring: Yes I did just buy this one for the name! I wanted a pearly white colour so choose this one for the name. Hint hint, I would like a ring... My mother tried this polish first, and wow it looked pretty bad on her. It was rather funny, but on me, a whole different story. It looks so clean and pretty.

Lets see the Ring

Princesses Rule!: YAY sparkles! How could I not order a pretty, sparkly pink polish that includes princess in it's name...Love love love.

Princesses Rule

Heart Throb: This is amazing. Its prefect for me. I didn't realise that Heart Throb would be so sheer, but I'm so glad it is. After two coats my nails have a gorgeous shiny pinkness. I first tried Heart Throb to layer Princesses Rule! over, but its so gorgeous by it's self. I prefer it alone.

Heart Throb

Dim Sim Plum: I bought this one to specifically match a cardigan I have. The cardigan matches three dresses I own and now I have the perfect nail polish to match.

Dim Sim Plum

Dutch Tulips: I'm much more of a neutral and pinks girl. Dutch Tulip has more of a pinkness than I expected, which puts me back in my comfort zone! It's such a pretty colour, I cant wait to find a good excuse to wear it out and show it off.
