Brunette Beauty

Packaging: The bottles are the same as a full sized OPI polish. Smell/Taste: Nail polish. Colour: I Manicure For Beads - mid tone purple creme. Rich Girls & Po Boys - china blue creme. Available in 12 shades. Formula/ Texture: These shades are perfect for a pop of colour during winter in some creme shades. They may be dupeable to someone with a larger collection but they're all unique to me. I've found both needing only 2 layers but I could get away with one if I had more steady application.  Other then this, they all perform the same consistency and wear wise as a permanent full sized nail polish from OPI. I can get 4-5 days of wear using a base and top coat. I love these colours, they're bold but not screaming in your face for attention. Available: Only for a limited time from Myer Stores, myer.com.au for $20 30ml/1fl.oz.

  Packaging: The mini's come in their own branded cardboard box. The bottles are the same as a full sized OPI polish just scaled down. Smell/Taste: Nail polish. Colour: It's In The Clouds - soft white with a hint of beige that makes it slightly warm. Stop I'm Blushing - muted baby pink. It's A Boy - soft baby blue. This Cost Me A Mint - soft mint. Available in 6 shades. Formula/ Texture: These shades are perfect for a pop of soft colour during winter in brighter shades. They may be dupeable to someone with a larger collection but they're all unique to me. I've found In The Clouds and It's A Boy to be the most sheer requiring 3-4 layers for even and full opaqueness. Other then this, they all perform the same consistency and wear wise as a permanent full sized nail polish from OPI. I can get 4-5 days of wear using a base and top coat. I love this mini packs as they're tasters for the collection and you get the shade you...

It's getting to that time of the year when things are starting to heat up and this really excites me.  Without fail I have a small selection of nails colours that I have on rotation throughout the warmer months that I love wearing (plus all year round). So as a new post, I thought I'd show you some of  my  favourite picks for the Spring/ Summer seasons. L-R: OPI Bubble Bath, Your Such A Budapest, Dating A Royal,  Pink Flamenco I don't know about you but I love bright colours during summer, playing off the heat and excitement that comes with the months. So a vivid pink like OPI's Pink Flamenco shown here is a fun, girly way to add some colour. I also love a tomato red or even an orange red colour but I finished up those bottles last year, so a fresh new one will have to be purchased soon. Now not all summer colour shave to be girly. Another bright colour is a citrus colour like yellow or orange. I have these colours that I'll be cracking out of the f...

This is a baby purple colour. It is a flat colour with no shimmer or glitter. Only two coats are needed. In this picture I have it as an accent nail on my ring finger with OPI's Teenage Dream from the Katy Perry collection over the top. I really like this colour, can't believe it took me so long to get it. It's a feline colour without being a typical pink. It's also perfect for spring/ summer.

Packaging: OPI angled glass bottle with a matte black skinny top with the brush end. Smell: Nail Polish. Colour: Clear. Formula/ Texture: This is an all in one polish that acts as a base coat, top coat and strengthener. It's thin and easy to apply and dry. It doesn't yellow or split my nails. Use every other day for stronger nails. I found it does a good job of being chip resistant for coloured polish for up to 4 days. Available: From Myer and David Jones for $19 for 15ml/0.5fl.oz.

This is a rich royal blue colour. It is flat with no shimmer or glitter to it. It is opaque in one coat but two verifies this. In the picture I have it teamed with a metallic silver on my ring finger as an accent nail. I love the blue depth to this. I'm not a fan of sky or baby blue colours, but the deeper, more richer colours are to my liking. I love wearing this all year round, more so on my toes. On my fingers it's a more edgier vibe yet still classic.

This is a deep true red colour. Depending on the light it almost borders on a mauve but it's not. It is a flat colour with no shimmer or sparkles to it. It is opaque in one coat. This is a fairly new colour to my collection. So it's not the first colour I wanted to have or picked up. I was intrigued by the depth of it. It's that classic red shade but deeper, something you'd pull out in winter to wear.

This is a bright pink with slightly blue undertones to it. it's a bit deeper in colour but still flat with no shimmer or sparkled. this is opaque in one coat. I absolutely love this colour!! I've been on the hunt for months trying to find a bright pink almost neon shade without going neon. The bit of depth to it makes it more wearable and office appropriate and the blue undertone gives it that brightness. I love this colour on either my toes or fingers but defiantly is in my collection to stay.

This is a light pink with cool undertones. It is very sheer and flat in colour. It's opaque in three coats. I love how this is an everyday colour. It goes with everything and chipping isn't that noticeable. It's also very chic as well. I like wearing this only on my fingers when I don't know what colour to wear especially for an occasion. There'll always be room in my collection for a light baby pink.

This colour is a typical pink. It's not too deep or light. It is a flat colour with no shimmer or glitter. It is opaque in two coats. This is one of my first polishes. It's a neutral, wearable pink. I love it all year on either fingers or toes. It's most defiantly a girly girl colour that I'm proud to wear! I think a versatile oink is needed in anyones collection.

This colour is a deep purple. It is a flat colour with no shimmer or glitter. It can be streaky if the brush isn't wiped before applying it. It is opaque in two coats. I love wearing this on my toes and occasionally on my fingers. I do think this is a winter colour due to the depth of the colour. Or a party colour for the mysterious parts of the night. I can't help but feel sultry and mysterious when I wear this. It's that pop of colour above a black. In the picture I am wearing it with 'Teenage Dream' from the Katy Perry OPI collection as a twist on a french manicure.
