Wet n Wild Spoiled For CVS Bite Me!

As most of you know, a collection came out a few months ago exclusively for CVS called Spoiled. Now it literally took me until I bought some of these polishes to know that they are made by Wet n Wild. Not sure how I missed that detail. I was noticing that some names and colors were the exact same as some Wet n Wild polishes that I have, but just didn't put two and two together lol



Bite Me, two coats. This is a blackened base with dark red shimmer. Does this remind you of anything? OPI Sanguine, maybe?! I've been looking for a dupe of it and this comes pretty close. I'll have to do a side by side comparison to make sure though. I love love love this color, it's so pretty and vampy and dark and just awesome.

The formula was actually really good. It was opaque in one coat, which is amazing, it also dried pretty fast if I recall correctly. The main problem is the brush, and I found this with all the Spoiled polishes. The brush is shaped kind of like the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri brushes, like a paddle shape, but the bristles are much harder and they are so unevenly cut! The brush on this was cut almost on a weird diagonal. On some of the other polishes, some bristles were longer than others, it's kind of a mess. They are also a bit too wide for my nail beds at least and can get a little messy.

Other than the brush, I really like this polish!

OPI I Have A Herring Problem

This is the other OPI Holland color that I got, so lets get to it.

indirect sunlight

direct sunlight
I Have Herring Problem, three coats. This is a cornflower blue shade with gold flecks and shimmer. It reminds me, and kind of is the blue version of Zoya Neeka. The blue is kind of dusty and not too bright, which is a nice contrast with the gold. I thought this was a super interesting color.

The formula was good, as most OPI formulas are. This was opaque in two coats and was very smooth. It also dried really really fast, which is great.

The more I looked at this color, the more the word 'matte' popped into my head, and so I couldn't help myself. So, this is one coat of Manglaze Matte-Astrophe over the three coats of I Have a Herring Problem. I thought the gold flecks would be cool matte, and they looked pretty cool, but I didn't totally love it. You can enlarge this to get a better view (as with the other pictures).

OPI Vampsterdam!

OPI Holland was finally released a few weeks ago and I couldn't help but buy a couple of the colors.



 Vampsterdam, three coats. I loved this the second I saw the promo. It's a dark, slightly frosty burgundy/ plum color. In some lights it looks more purple and it others more burgundy and you can see the frost finish best in direct sunlight. I actually like that it has a little bit of frost to it, in the bottle it looks more frosty than it actually applies. I think the frost actually adds a lot to this color. Definitely makes it more interesting than it would be in just a creme finish.

The formula was good, it was opaque in two coats but I liked the third coat for good measure and more depth of color. Usually polishes with a frosty finish are super streaky, but this one wasn't, so that's a big plus. It also dries really fast, so the three coats was really no problem.

I had this polish on for about a week, maybe 5 days, which is a pretty long time for me lol and it wore really well. I do find that OPI polishes sometimes have a little bit more tip wear earlier on. Granted I do a lot of typing and things like that, which greatlyyyy affects tip wear.

I always love new OPI collections. :)

Well, it may not be the perfect venue for every proposal, but for a couple of past "American Idol" finalists, it's a pretty nifty time to do it. At the Season 11 "Idol" finale, Season 5 finalist Ace Young came up on stage with his girlfriend Diana DeGarmo, the Season 3 runner-up.Seacrest brought them up under the guise of wanting to talk to them about their relationship, after casually saying

Nicole by OPI Launches Three New Nail Lacquers, Exclusively at Walmart!

The last of the new Nicole by OPI! Getting through them, so lets keep on trucking.



The Gold Shoulder
A surprisingly approachable shimmery light gold.


Best Pink Ever 
Seriously. This magnificent metallic pink is the best in town.



“Fabulous” is My Middle Name 
But you can call me “multi-colored sparkle.”


Nicole by OPI announces three new shades to be exclusively sold at Walmart, in stores January 2012. These rich shimmer and glitter hues give fingers and toes an elegantly chic look, with colors that include a sparkly champagne gold, a shimmering rose pink, and a confetti glitter.

“Nicole by OPI is excited to bring three new nail lacquers exclusively to Walmart for 2012,” says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, Nicole by OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “Both the gold and pink hues have a chic metallic finish, but the warm-toned pigments in these lacquers are distinctly feminine. The glitter in ‘Fabulous’ is My Middle Name includes red, fuchsia, blue, gold and silver sparkles, adding multidimensional shine when worn alone or layered over either of the other two shades.” 

“Metallic and glitter are currently very trendy lacquer finishes,” explains Weiss-Fischmann. “Some metallic lacquers look 3-dimensional or holographic when applied, while others sparkle from different angles, or reflect when exposed to different types of light. All are extremely beautiful!” 

These came out last month, so they should be available in all Walmart locations already.

New Nicole By OPI Kardashian Kolors for CVS!

Back to new Nicole by OPI collections! These are the new Kardashain Kolors for CVS.

Smile for the Glam-era 
The paparazzi is all about this photogenic plum.

Back to Reality…TV 
This pretty little periwinkle was made for TV.
 
One Big Happy Fame-ily
This lavender shimmer is the American dream.

Our Fuchsia’s Lookin’ Bright 
This purple-y fuchsia has the world at her hands.

Ladies in the Limelight 
The most talked-about yellow-lime of our time!

Paparazzi Don’t Preach 
This pretty blush pink is doing just fine.
 
Strike a Pose 
A totally camera red-y color. 

Nicole by OPI announces seven new Kardashian Kolor shades to be exclusively sold at CVS, in stores February 2012. These richly-pigmented, fashion-forward hues include crèmes in bright key lime, pinky peach, poppy red and fuchsia, as well as shimmers in light lilac and deep burgundy.

“Nicole by OPI is very excited to bring new Kardashian Kolor lacquers exclusively to CVS for 2012. The CVS shopper knows how to find the hottest look at the best value,” explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, Nicole by OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “In collaborating with the Kardashian/Jenner family on the CVS exclusive shades, we came up with lacquers to represent each of their vibrant personalities and individual styles. The seven resulting colors offer the perfect accessory for spring’s bright colors, feminine frocks and reinvented neutrals.”


 So, there you go. This collection is about half the size of their first one and not really very interesting. These came out this month and I have actually seen them. 

1/2 of the display. Enlarge to get a better view of the colors. Paparazzi Don't Preach was apparently sold out and someone put a Rainbow in the S-Kylie in its place lol

Other part of the display. 
It was weird because the top row of the display is the new exclusive to CVS colors and the bottom row is original Kardashian Kolors. I found that it was a little hard for me to see the top row, maybe it's because I'm kind of short lol but either way I would have expected them to highlight the collection more. 

So what do you guys think of these? Buy any yet?


Until next time,
