OPI Spookettes: I Only Date Werewolves!

This is the last of the Spookettes! Finally got to the end!

I Only Date Werewolves, two coats. So this is black, yep just black. Average, nothing very exciting. The name is almost annoying because as much as I love werewolves, Twilight ruined it for me and now its just annoying. But anyway, the polish itself was good, really nicely opaque after two coats and the formula was good. Like Mummy Knows Best, it dried super fast. Always a plus. 

So that's it for Spookettes! What did you guys think about it? The stand outs for me were definitely Zom-Body to Love and He's My Boo.

OPI Mummy Knows Best and New OPI DS Shades and PInk Shatter!

It's an OPI-tastic night tonight! Firstly, continuing on with the Spookettes.

Mummy Knows Best, two coats. One of the average shades of the collection. I get why they put it there, but it is just white polish. 

The formula is good, but can be patchy if you don't get an even coat, which I found hard to do. A second coat smoothes it all out just fine. One thing that's really good about this polish is that it dries really quickly, definitely a plus. 

Next, the new DS  Shades.

Left to right:

DS Temptation- A provocative sparkle of deep purple

DS Bold- A brilliant sparkle of rich, shimmering red

Two new shades will be joining the Designer Series by OPI collection this upcoming fall – DS Temptation and DS Bold. Designer Series shades include vivid hues and sparkling, glitter-packed textures featuring OPI’s diamond-dust formula.

DS Temptation and DS Bold will be available beginning September 2011.

And Pink Shatter!

OPI launches the limited edition Pink Shatter: Pink of Hearts Nail Lacquer to support Susan G. Komen for the Cure® in its promise to save lives and end breast cancer forever. The 2011 Pink of Hearts edition will follow in the footsteps of its namesake 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 Nail Lacquers in raising awareness of breast cancer for the fifth year in a row, during the months of September and October (National Breast Cancer Awareness Month). Unlike previous shade incarnations, this year’s Pink of Hearts Nail Lacquer marks the debut of fan-favorite Shatter coat in OPI’s first pink shade.

Each bottle of Pink Shatter: Pink of Hearts has a special pink-ribbon tag and pink cap wrap to call attention to breast cancer awareness. OPI will also be making its annual donation of $25,000 to Komen for the Cure. Pink Shatter coat contains no DBP, Toluene, or Formaldehyde, and it also features OPI’s exclusive ProWide™ Brush for the ultimate in application.

The limited edition Pink Shatter: Pink of Hearts will be available throughout the months of September and October 2011.

OPI He's My Boo!

Back to the Spookettes! After I kind of tireed this one out a couple of days ago for my candy corn design, I was really excited to do full swatches.

He's My Boo, two coats, no top coat. Wow! Super bright! I was so surprised with this polish because it looks so much lighter in the bottle than it actually is on the nails. The bottle looks a few shades lighter. The color is a true orange, which I hae not been able to find lately. It's not too red or too yellow.. just perfect pumpkin orange.

When I first opened the bottle, the polish looked like it would be pretty sheer and take a bunch of coats to be opaque, but that was not the case at all! This polish is so pigmented it's pretty ridiculous. Also, this polish is super shiny without a top coat.

The formula is great. The pigmentations is amazing, as I said and the polish has great coverage and it super smooth.

Then I decided to add Black Shatter for some black. How it definitely looks like halloween! This is definitely a must have for halloween. I think I'll make a list of must haves for halloween...

I also just got press releases for a bunch of new OPI and Nicole by OPI stuff. It actually reminded me to show you guys their other halloween set.

The Pair’em Scare’em duo pack will bring Zom-Body to Love and OPI’s bestselling Black Shatter together in a hair-raising pair. Inspired by graffiti art, Shatter leaves behind a crackled, two-texture finish when painted over completely dry OPI nail lacquer. Paint Shatter over two coats of Zom-Body to Love and add a top coat for a one-of-a-kind, glow-in-the-dark manicure.

The polishes in this set are both full sized. I debated about getting it instead of Spookettes for a while, but I already had Black Shatter and now that I know how awesome He's My Boo is, I'm totally happy with my decision.

Until next time,

Wet N' Wild Cougar Attack

Happy first day of October!!! (It's actually also National Dessert Month!) I've created a personal challenge for myself this month, every post I do will be Halloween themed! I'm really excited and I have some really fun ideas.

But, first and foremost Cougar Attack from the Wet n' Wild Prowl collection.

As you can see form the bottle, it looks like a black base with orange glitter, but that's a trick! I guess that totally goes with the halloween theme, the bottle tricks you but the polish is a treat... yeahh.

Cougar Attack, two coats. The base  is actually a semi sheer brown base and the glitter is a coppery orange. I was really surprised at how much I liked this polish. I really wasn't very excited about it in the bottle. I was ready to layer it over black, thinking it wasn't going to be opaque but I was very pleasantly surprised when I tested it out on my sister lol. Its very opaque in two coats because the glitter is so dense and the base is dark enough to become opaque when layered.

The formula is pretty thick because of the glitter, not too thick, but more so than I expected. It goes on smooth with good coverage, but be careful not to move it around a lot or you can get some empty spots. The glitter stays put and this polish dries super fast! That was a great feature. But is does dry a little dull so it needs a top coat.

Overall, I really like this polish. The combination of the brown with coppery orange is pretty original, I haven't seen another polish like it. It has that great fall look without being too halloween, which is really nice. Also, I really love the name. In high school our mascot was the cougar so I have an affinity for them...but also just the fact that it's called Cougar Attack is freaking awesome!

Speaking of cougars... heres mine

Haha. It's Cleo!

Until next time,

Wet N' Wild Behind Closed Doors

I got this polish and another one I'm saving for October lol from the Wet n' Wild On The Prowl collection for halloween! Now, I love halloween more than I can even express in words, so when I see something halloween related, I need it. No questions asked.

One coat of Behind Closed Doors over one coat of Sinful Colors Black on Black. I did a semi-crappy job because I did the base coat at like 11pm in half lighting and then it smudged and stuff, so sorry about that. But anyway, Behind Closed Doors has a blacked jellyish base and has small round red glitter and large red hexagonal glitter. Does this look familiar? Yep, looks just like Deborah Lippmann Ruby Red Slippers! A cheap alternative. It's only $1.99! This will be going on the dupe list that I'm working on, plus many others. So keep an eye out for that.

Back to the polish, there a few irregular pieces that just look like they were supposed to hexagons but were cut strangely. Also, sometimes the polish isn't very evenly distributed so you'll have a lot of glitter on one side of your nail but not much on the other, so just be aware of that. 

But look at this! Just my luck I got a really wonky brush. It's bent! I have no idea how this would even happen lol looking at it kind of makes me laugh though. It doesn't really affect putting the polish on too much because not a full coverage polish. 

Other than this, I didn't find any problems with the polish at all. I actually went back to where I bought this and they were all sold out! So, I'm happy I got it when I did. If you want it, you may have to search around!

Until next time,
