O.P.I Autumn Winter Nails

I adore Autumn Winter nail colours and I love when the new collections are launched. O.P.I has two fantastic collection out this year.

First up is the OPI Skyfall Collection dedicated to the 50th Anniversary of Bond 007 films. All colors of this collection are named after James Bond movie titles. I love the look of them all except Die another die and The spy who loved me (not much of a red fan).

Next up is Germany Collection by OPI, inspired by what fashion editors are calling "Europe’s hottest new fashion metropolis," the Germany Collection by OPI embraces the classical elegance as well as the avant-garde that is modern Berlin. Again I love all but the red and Schnapps Out of it!

The Germany collection is out now and I think the James Bond collection is out October with the new Bind film Skyfall out November.

What do you think? Which shades do you like?

Thanks

Nicki Minaj for OPI

Love the lastest collection from OPI, although I will admit that despite loving the shades I think I was expecting a bit more with it being the Nicki Minaj collection. Not sure what though!

The collection consists of from Left to Right above:

1. Pink Friday - her signature Pink

2. Did it on 'Em - bright lime Green

3. Fly - bright almost turquoise blue

4. Metallic 4 Life - dark slatey grey

5. Save Me - silver/rainbow glitter

6. Super Bass Shatter - burgundy shatter

I think its the shatter I'm disappointed by despite loving the shade I thought she would have gone for something a bit more out there.

Have to say it's the mini set that I really want, as it contains the dark glitter and not the rainbow one.

Do you like it...

Hey,

I hope everyone's having a great weekend, the weather isn't great today! I just wanted to show you a lovely O.P.I shade I have fallen for...Do you Lilac it.
I think it's a lovely spring shade, I applied two coats here and I like the coverage.

Thanks

NOTD - Eiffel for this Colour

Hey

Today's post us a quick NOTD for you. I went and had my nails done on Saturday afternoon, my nails have been terrible of late. I was completely fed up as they kept splitting and peeling. So I decided to go and get tips done. I know it'll ruin my nails and I'll need to start again to restore my actual nails. But at the moment I'd rather pay than look at my horrible short naked nails.

I decided to have them painted as well and choose OPI Eiffel for this colour.
It's a lovely rich dark blackberry shade, I love it! I had two coats applied and it has a nice opaque finish. It looks almost black but in the light you catch the plumy purple tones.

Thanks

Search for a Gorgeous Red Nail Varnish

Right I have been on a hunt for a red nail varnish recently, now I do want it more red than burgundy and at the moment I am struggling to get a colour I love! Before I go and buy anymore I thought I would show you what I already have and a suggestion from L, hopefully you could help me.

Now again my photo's are not great and this post is a bit picture heavy. Also as I didn't want to keep taking all the reds off my nails I have used some false nails for the pictures (hate the staining).

Below are the reds I already have:

(l-r Rimmel Hot Gossip, Nails Inc/Diet Coke Milan, MUA shade 8, OPI The Thrill of Brazil, George no.53 Shock)

From the colours above, I would my fave is the George at Asda, as I really like the colour (with it being a bit darker). But below is each of the colours seperately

First up is Rimmel Wear Maxx in Hot Gossip, I have used 2 coats on the nail, the brush is easy to use and the varnish dried quickly. This is a lovely colour but I'm not sure if it suits my colouring very well, but I do like it as it has a slight sparkle to it as well. Also Rimmel tend to be one of my favourite polishes as I find they last well on me and the price is good.

Second is a freebie I got from Nails Inc with Diet Coke, the colour is Milan. Now I have to admit that I've not used this polish yet! I used two coats and I have to say it didn't go on great (I think that is down to the brush).

Third up is MUA in shade 8, this is from the bargain range in Superdrug. I picked up a couple of these polishes and so did L. You do really need to use 3 coats to get a nice opaque finish. Now I really like this colour as it is a bit darker than the first two but it is poor to use on my finger nails as it is a bit watery, I think I will keep for my toes.

Fourth up in a OPI polish I got about 2 years ago for a black and red themed night I went on. This shade is The Thrill of Brazil and I used 2 coats to get the lovely opaque finish. Now I love OPI for their colour choice and the fact that they are so easy to apply and I find I always get a nice finish with them, and they last well. Lastly we have another bargain polish from George (currently £1) in Shock. This again is not the best polish to apply but I did only use 2 coats for this, I love this colour as once again, its darker which I think suits me more and has a hint of sparkle which I love!!

So out of the collection I already have, OPI is definitely the best to apply but for me the George polish is the colour I prefer. What do you think?

Now L has given me a picture of a red she likes, this is from the Rimmel scented range in Cranberry. Now she likes the smell but I'm not sure about having a nail varnish that smells fruity. What are your thoughts? I do think the colour is lovely on her.

If you could suggest any colours/ranges to try I would appreciate it?
