NOTD OPI Ski Teal We Drop

This is an oldy but goody. A favourite of mine (I possibly say that too often), from the Swiss Collection from 2010.

It is a beautiful green, blue that is opaque in two coats. I had 20 minutes to apply this and get out of the house with two kids in tow! Thank you Seche Vite! Not a bad job considering I had such little time.

I found this on Cheap Smells for £7.50, and Beauty Bay for £10.50.

OPI Holland Collection Mini Pack

The Holland Collection is OPI's newest for Spring/Summer. This was love at first sight. I love every colour of this collection, link. I bought this mini set from Beauty Bay for £12.95, who are currently offering free delivery, link.

The colours, left to right:

I Have a Herring Problem

Red Lights Ahead.... Where?

Kiss Me on My Tulips

Pedal Faster Suzi!

Aren't they gorgeous?! Here are some swatches:

OPI's descriptions:

I Have a Herring Problem 'What's that you say? I need to "sea" this shimmery green-blue'

Red Lights Ahead... Where? 'This coral-packed red is the hottest in the district'

Kiss Me on My Tulips 'A smooch-worthy shade of hot pink'

Pedal Faster Suzi! 'This pink-lavender shimmer will have you "wheeling".'

 I love all the colours, but my favourites have to be 'Red Lights Ahead... Where?' and 'Kiss Me on My Tulips'. They both were opaque with one coat, however I always do two! Creature of habit! I found that both the shimmers will probably need 3 coats to achieve complete opaqueness. They are so glossy, all photos were taken without a top coat.

Another colour firmly on my 'Lust List' is Gouda Gouda Two Shoes, a gorgeous rose colour. I have no colour like this in my nail varnish collection.

Do you like this collection?

NOTD, Parlez-Vous OPI?

This is my all time favourite nail varnish. I completely love it. My number 1!

It is a gorgeous grey purple colour.

I have so many compliments when wearing this. It is my 'go to' nail varnish. If I'm sat looking at my nail varnishes feeling 'meh' I reach for this. It doesn't last much more than a day, depending on whether I'm working or at home with my monsters.

What's your number one?

NOTD, OPI Skull & Glossbones

Over the past few weeks, possibly months, I have been sticking with darks on my nails with a few glitter polishes chucked in. So this was a welcome change on my nails.

OPI Skull and Glossbones is such a lovely nudey grey colour. I originally bought it in a Pirates of the Carribean mini set and loved this so much, I had to buy it in the full size!

The first coat of this is very streaky, but the second is fine. I wear it with my beloved Seche Vite as a topcoat.

I am very pleased as this photo was taken on the second day of wear. Now that is unheard of for me, I haven't even had to touch it up. To be fair, I have been working and not doing the usual house work I do when I'm around the house (snoooze). So very happy with this.

I love this type of colour. This is one I know I will reach for over and over again.
