NOTD: OPI Simmer & Shimmer

Hello everybody!

This is OPI's Simmer & Shimmer. A very pretty blue glitter with lots of other colours in it! I'm wearing three coats.

The bottle:

Also, you may have noticed, but I guess not... haha. But I got a new camera! The pictures below are taken with poor lighting so the quality of them isn't that good... But the first picture is taken with my old camera, and the second picture is taken with my new camera. Can you see the difference?

Thanks for stopping by! :)

NOTD: OPI The show must go on

Hello everybody!

This is "The show must go on" from OPI. Again, also part of the burlesque collection ;) I'm wearing three coats here.

These were the pictures I took with the photostudio. So this simulates the polishes in day-/sunlight. The duochrome effect isn't that visable all the time, but when the light hits it correctly it's a very pretty effect!

Bottle pic:

How do you like these kinds of pictures? Better? Are the pictures so much better that it's worth to buy the new lightbulbs?

So, pictures: Yay or nay? Haha!

Thanks for stopping by! :)

NOTD: OPI Glow Up Already!

Hello everybody!

Here's another glitter from the OPI Burlesque collection, this is Glow up Already! I'm wearing three coats.

Again, this is a multicolour glitter with a lot of golden glitter. But it's a different kind of gold, more greenish looking?

Bottle pic:

Glow up Already is on the left, on the right is Bring on the bling for comparison!

Thanks for stopping by :)

NOTD: OPI Bring on the Bling

Hello everybody!

This is another glitter from the Burlesque collection, this is Bring on the Bling! I'm wearing three coats.

This glitter is mainly gold, but has a lot of different colours in it, such as pink, blue, green, orange and silver.

I'm really liking these glitters! They're opaque enough to be worn alone and they're super sparkly! :D

Thanks for stopping by! :)

NOTD: OPI Ali's Big Break

Hello everybody!

This is OPI's Ali's Big Break. I'm wearing two coats, but I think I should've gone with three... I did this mani in the dark so it was kind if hard to see, but today I noticed that the coverage wasn't as perfect as I want it to be.

It's a bright red colour with lighter red shimmer in it. Or glass flecks, I always have problems with defining finishes...

The bottle:

To me, this colour isn't really special. It's just a sparkly red, probably a ton of polishes which look like this.

But overall, I don't wear red. Or like red polishes. I don't know why, it feels "wrong" on me? Or something? Still, this is a pretty polish, maybe just not for me?

Thanks for stopping by! :)

NOTD: OPI Let me entertain you!

Hello everybody!

This is OPI's Let me entertain you! I'm wearing three coats.

It's a very pretty bright magenta polish, but it is also very hard to capture the true colour of this polish. It's a lot more vibrant in real life!

Bottle pic:

You can see some golden duochrome/undertone going on in there, but this doesn't show up on the nail. Maybe I will see some of the golden undertone when I remove this polish...

And also a picture with flash, in order to try to show the true colour of this polish... Basically it's somewhere in between the colour with flash, and the colour without flash haha!

Thanks for stopping by! :)

NOTD: OPI Extra-va-vaganza

Hello everybody!

This is OPI's Extra-va-vaganza, also from the Burlesque collection. Are you beginning to see a patttern here? ;)

I applied two coats of this polish over Take the Stage. I think this glitter could be worn alone with one or two coats more, but I wanted to try it over Take the Stage 'cause the colours match so well with eachother.

This glitter shows a lot of orange and silver, but if you look closely you can also see blue, green, yellow and pink in there. It's very pretty and sparkly! :D

The bottle:

How do you like glitters?

Thanks for stopping by! :)

NOTD: OPI Take the Stage

Hello everybody!

This is my second swatch out of the Burlesque collection! This is Take the Stage. Again, problems with finding natural lighting...

Artificial lighting:

I used two coats. This is a very pretty orange-bronzy colour. This one is also sparkly and reflective!

With flash:

Bottle pic:

What do you think of this colour? ;)

I'm really annoyed by the lack of good lighting. I'm thinking about buying a small light box, I did some research on the internet, and you can get a small one for not too much money.

Being cheap, I'm still doubting if I should buy it. I do think it's a good investment for better pictures. What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by! :)

NOTD: OPI Rising Star

Hello everybody!

This is my first on nail swatch of the Burlesque collection! This is Rising Star and I'm wearing two coats.

Because of the lack of sun it was really hard for me to take colour accurate pictures. The polish has a more orange-like undertone than in the pictures, where it looks more yellowish.

Picture with flash: (Most colour accurate)

(Blurry...) bottle pic

At first I thought that I wouldn't like this colour, but after I tried it on, I really liked it! It's very shiny and reflective. Don't know if it really fits my skintone, but I don't care, I like the colour, so I'll wear it ;)

And sorry for being absent a few days. I was waiting for the sun to come out, but of course that didn't happen... Also my new school schedule makes it really difficult to take pictures during the day. I don't like taking pictures in the dark, so sometimes I'll simply have to wait until I'm free to take pictures. And that means I'll also have to wait to change up my mani, and that's more difficult than you think! ;) haha

Anyway, thanks for stopping by! :)

OPI Burlesque collection

Hello everybody!

Source

You might have guessed it... I ordered the Burlesque collection today! Every single one of them! :D

At first I only wanted to buy 7. But as more and more swatches came out, I just had to have them all... I ordered them from eBay.

I hope they will arrive soon, and then I will posts pictures and a small review of the seller. I really can't wait :D

I decided to buy them now, because I need something new and shiny to make me feel better! I'll receive them after my exams are over, if they went well then it's a reward, if they went bad it's a comfort! :P

But of course, my exams will go well... Right? :P

Thanks for stopping by!
