OPI Kiss Me At Midnight

Hi, you guys! Hope your week is off to a fantastic start! :-)

Today, I wanted to wrap up my selection from the OPI Mariah Carey Holiday Collection with another favorite of mine! Kiss Me At Midnight is a medium blue that leans slightly periwinkle with lots of shimmers and larger silver glitters that dries down to a textured matte glitter finish. 

I think this is such a gorgeous blue! It's bright and saturated, and the sparkly silver glitters stand out so well against the base. The formula is great, just like the other liquid sands in the collection. It's a little thinner on the first coat, but it still builds up nicely to opacity by the second coat. 

Now that I've shown you my picks from this collection, I have to say that while there are quite a few stunners, it's really the liquid sands from this collection that have captured my heart. OPI has done a fantastic job with them. They are all sparkly and festive, totally appropriate for the season. If I had to narrow down my choices to just one or two from this collection, my must-haves are Make Him Mine and Kiss Me At Midnight. 

I'd love to know what you think of this collection. Which ones stand out to you and will be making their way into your stash? :-)

You can find Kiss Me At Midnight at your local nail salons and beauty stores such as Ulta and Dillard's for a retail price of $9 for 0.5 fl oz.

OPI Baby Please Come Home

Hi, you guys! Yay for it being the weekend! Gosh, this past week has just been absolutely crazy. I'm so thankful and relieved that the weekend is finally here. Hope yours is off to a fun and relaxing start! :-)

Today, I've got another beautiful liquid sand from the OPI Mariah Carey Holiday Collection to share with you. Baby Please Come Home is a subtly purplish silver with lots of shimmers and larger silver glitters that all dries down to a textured matte glitter finish.

This is another lovely liquid sand, scattered with the larger silver glitters that I've really come to love from OPI. While it appears to have a good amount of purple in the bottle, I feel like once it's on the nails, the purple seems more subtle and the overall polish leans more silver, probably due to its large amount of silver shimmers and glitters. The formula is everything you can ask for, making application super easy. Each coat comes out smoothly and with even distribution of the glitters and sand particles, and two coats is all you need for full coverage. :-)

You can find Baby Please Come Home at your local nail salons and beauty stores such as Ulta and Dillard's for a retail price of $9 for 0.5 fl oz.

OPI Make Him Mine

Hi, you guys! This week is just flying by, which is totally ok by me. :-)

Today, I've got another liquid sand and a favorite of mine from the OPI Mariah Carey Holiday Collection to share with you. Make Him Mine is a neutral pinkish rose with lots of shimmers and larger silver glitters that all dries down to a textured matte glitter finish.

Wow, this is just stunning! It's a classic and girly shade, with enough neutral in here so it doesn't appear too pink. The larger silver glitters add just the right about of bling and sparkle to make it fun and festive. When I received this, I immediately wore it for a whole week and got quite a few compliments on it. :D The application is just as good as all the other liquid sands I've tried. Each coat comes out evenly and uniformly, and two coats is all I needed for opacity.

You can find Make Him Mine at your local nail salons and beauty stores such as Ulta and Dillard's for a retail price of $9 for 0.5 fl oz.

OPI It's Frosty Outside

Hi, you guys! :-)

I'm really excited to be getting into my selection of polishes from the liquid sand portion of the OPI Mariah Carey Holiday Collection. OPI is one of my favorite brands for textured polishes, so I had really high expectations for what we would see in this holiday collection. First up is It's Frosty Outside, a silver with tons of shimmers and glitters that dries down to a textured matte glitter finish.

This is such a gorgeous and sparkly silver, made all the more so by a sprinkling of larger-sized reflective silver glitters, a signature of OPI's for their liquid sands. The larger glitters do such a good job of catching the light as you move your hand, adding an extra dimension to this textured polish. The formula is fantastic, with all the glitters and gritty particles spreading out evenly across the nails. And you just need two standard coats for total coverage. :-)

You can find It's Frosty Outside at your local nail salons and beauty stores such as Ulta and Dillard's for a retail price of $9 for 0.5 fl oz.

OPI Alcatraz... Rocks

Hi, you guys! Hope your weekend is going well! :-)

Today, I wanted to share with you the last of my picks from the OPI San Francisco Fall Collection. Alcatraz... Rocks is a dark steel blue with hoards of different colored glitters—green, pink, and blue—that all dries down to a gritty, textured finish.

Ok, I'm totally in love with this one! It's so sparkly and pretty, and the texture really enhances the multi-colored glitters in here. The formula is flawless. Each coat goes on smoothly, with the glitters and texture particles distributing evenly across the nails. And two coats is all you need for total opaque coverage. :)

I think overall, this collection has quite a few gems. Of my picks, my absolute must-haves are Peace & Love & OPI and Alcatraz... Rocks. Now that you've seen my picks from this collection, I'd love to know yours. Which colors will be making it into your stash?

You can find Alcatraz... Rocks at your local nail salons and beauty stores such as Ulta and Dillard's for a retail price of $9 for 0.5 fl oz.

OPI Magazine Cover Mouse

Hi, you guys! :)

Today, I'm wrapping up the OPI Couture de Minnie Collection with the last and only textured polish of the set. Magazine Cover Mouse is a cool-toned red full of pink and gold shimmery glitters that dries down to a textured matte glitter finish.

Just like the rest of the liquid sands, the texture in here comes from not just the glitters, but also gritty particles added for additional textured look and feel. The formula is quite good, as is typical for the liquid sands. It applies smoothly and evenly, with the glitters and the texture particles distributing themselves nicely across the nails. It's also pigmented, so two coats is all you need for total coverage.

Hope you have enjoyed my posts on the OPI Couture de Minnie Collection. Now that I've tried all the colors, I have to say it's definitely a fun and girly collection that captures the spirit of Minnie. I'd love to know how you feel about the collection. What are your moust-haves (hehe... that joke never gets old :P)?

You can find Magazine Cover Mouse at your local nail salons and beauty stores such as Ulta and Dillard's for a retail price of $9 for 0.5 fl oz.

OPI Tiffany Case

Hi you guys! :-)

Let's wrap up the OPI Bond Girls Collection today with the last but definitely not least of the set. Tiffany Case is a cool-toned icy medium blue full of sparkly blue glitters that dries to a textured matte glitter finish.

The blue base has a hint of teal in it, so that it looks a bit aqua at times. The glitters in here are slightly bigger, so they have a more chunkier look, kind of like sequins. The formula is pigmented and easy to apply, going on glossy and then drying down to the textured finish. You need just the standard two coats for sufficient coverage. A word of caution - this stains a bit, so remove carefully or you may end up with smurf fingers. :-)

Hope you have enjoyed my posts on the OPI Bond Girls Collection. Now that I have tried all the colors, I have to say I love most of this collection! It's brought some unique colors to the textured polish world, and the formulas are fantastic. I have trouble picking a favorite from this collection. Vesper is the only miss for me, but the rest all hit it out of the park! :-) What about you? What are the hits and misses for you, and which will be joining your collection?

You can find Tiffany Case at your local nail salons and beauty stores such as Ulta and Dillard's for a retail price of $9 for 0.5 fl oz.

OPI Jinx

Hi you guys! Hope your week is going along well! :-)

Today, I've got another gorgeous color from the OPI Bond Girls Collection to share with you. Jinx is a bright coral with golden shimmers and glitters that dries to a textured matte glitter finish.

This is such a rich and sparkly summer color, and definitely a must have for coral-lovers! Depending on the lighting and the warm/cool tones in your skin, it can shift from more of a pink/red coral to more of an orange coral. The formula is great, as expected. The first coat looks more pink, but the second coat adds the depth and richness to the coral color and achieves opaque coverage.

You can find Jinx at your local nail salons and beauty stores such as Ulta and Dillard's for a retail price of $9 for 0.5 fl oz.

OPI Vesper

Hi there! :-)

I've got another color from the OPI Bond Girls Collection to share with you today. Vesper is a dark murky eggplant purple with black glitters that dries to a textured matte glitter finish.

To me, Vesper is the odd child out in the collection. While all the other colors of the collection are bright and happy, this one is dark and moody. The black glitters in here aren't very sparkly, so they look a bit like pieces of dirt stuck on the nails. The formula is also not like the others. It's thin and the glitters are sparse, so I needed three coats for full coverage. At that number of coats, the base is so dark that it looks almost black under certain lightings. And drying time is quite slow.

You can find Versper at your local nail salons and beauty stores such as Ulta and Dillard's for a retail price of $9 for 0.5 fl oz.

OPI Honey Ryder

Hi you guys! Mondays are just the worst, aren't they? Hope your week is off to a tolerable start! :-)

Continuing with the OPI Bond Girls Collection, I've got another gorgeous liquid sand polish to share with you today. Honey Ryder is a luxurious gold with sparkly gold glitters that dries to a textured matte glitter finish.

This is a beautiful gold shade. It's not too yellow, so it's compatible with more skin tones and quite wearable. The formula is fantastic, as is usual for this collection. It's smooth and easy to apply, with the glitters and texture particles distributing evenly across the nail. It's also pigmented, so two coats is all you need for opaque coverage.

You can find Honey Ryder at your local nail salons and beauty stores such as Ulta and Dillard's for a retail price of $9 for 0.5 fl oz.
