jenni's mini opi haul & swatches

Hello girls,

I recently purchased OPI "Isn't that Precious?" for my sister's birthday and decided to pick up a couple of others (as you do).

To the left is OPI "Suzi & the Lifeguard" and to the right is OPI "Princesses Rule!" These are both gorgeous shades, particularly if you LOVE pink!!

 
First off, I tried Suzi & the Lifeguard. It is a very sweet creamy pink. Below I'm wearing two coats and, with a base and top coat, it didn't chip once during the 7 days I wore it!


Next is Princesses Rule! This polish has a lot of depth. Under certain lights, it can look like a very Barbie pink while other times, it reflects a very subtle light champagne pink. No matter what lighting though, it reflects light amazingly! Very sparkly (and I love it!). It is a sheer polish. Below is two coats and is still a bit sheer. I'd love to try one coat of this polish over a light creamy beige or pink.


That's it for now! Next time I see my sis I'll have to swatch the "Isn't that Precious?" for you!

Exams are pending...  back to the books

oh my, opi!

Hello again, Jenni here,

Firstly, I'd like to say thank you to all our followers! Blogging is not the easiest thing to get started, so we are really grateful for all your support :)

So this lovely package was waiting for me at my post office:


Take a look what we got!!

1. Pink of Hearts 2 (below left)
2. A Dozen Rosas (below right)


 
3. Dancing in the Isles
4. Cozu-Melted In The Sun


 

5. Suzi Sells Sushi By The Seashore
6. Nomad's Dream



7. Bling Dynasty
8. Mauving To Manhattan



9. I'm Not Really A Waitress
10. Lunch At The Dehli



11. I'm India Mood For Love
12. Atomic Orange



13. Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat



So this is my growing collection of OPI:





And looking very much forward to sharing some swatches with you in the future :D

So, I couldn't wait to try it out, so I put on #4 Cozu-Melted, and it is divine! Very metalic and shimmery and in the perfect shade of pink, almost salmon :D In the shade it looks more pink than below.



And a close up of the shimmer:


Love love love it. And I cannot tell you how incredible this seche vite top coat is. I heard recommendations and I had previously used OPI's rapid dry top coat which didn't work too well in my opinion, so I thought it'd be a good time to try. Nothing worse than chipped or smudged nails. Seche Vite, however, is AH-MA-ZING! It dry so fast and intensely hard so if you haven't tried it: get it - it's definitely worth the US$5.

Hope you enjoyed this haul. Tell us your fav OPI colour! Leave a comment! 

More swatches coming soon!


love
