OPI The Muppets collection review!!!

Welcome,

A friend surprised me a few weeks ago with this amazing present :)
The OPI Muppets Collection

Wocka Wocka!, Excuse Moi!, Designer… de Better! and Warm & Fozzie (from L to R)

 

Let's take a closer look at the four mini polishes!

Starting with the first one: Wocka Wocka

 
Wocka Wocka is a classic deep red shade, very opaque with a great formula, not too thick or too thin! The pigmentation was excellent - I've used 2 coats but the first one was almost enough. It was very easy to apply, not watery at all and dried reasonably fast. 
It's probably the least original shade of the set but it packs a pretty Christmas red that gives it a golden look in some lights.
The mini brushes are always a little more fiddly to use but with two coats.

2nd colour: Excuse Moi!


Excuse Moi! is a sort of reddish-pink toned glitter filled colourthat it was opaque in just two coats, so I was happy with the application.
The base is a gorgeous sparkly raspberry color with thicker chunkier glitter.It creates an interesting, textured look and seems like a good holiday polish.
The glitter and the pink is full on and I believe this can be achieved in two coats I might have tipped the ends with a third layer to get more consistent glitter coverage. I only applied it on one finger over Wocka Wocka. I haven't tried this polish on all my fingers but I hopefully will soon, and share that moment with you. From the one finger I polished, the colour reminded me kind of OPI's Teenage Dream only in a red version :)

3rd colour: Designer… de Better!

Designer... de Better! is a mixed silvery champagne colour with micro flecks of orange/red flecks. This is a great polish! It's so shinny! It applied great and the pigmentation is good so I've used 2 thick coats. Drying time was average. The only problem was the small brush that comes with the OPI minis. I've never seen the same shade anywhere so for me this is definitely a unique shade. Sure I've seen silver foil polishes but they haven't had these orange/red colored flecks. In other lighting the specks can look a bit pink.
This colour was the base of my NOTD - Holo nails!!!
Last but not least: Warm & Fozzie 


Warm & Fozzie is a metallic colour with gold/bronze sparkles with a slight ducochrome effect.
However, depending on the lighting, there are also hints of pink, ret and green!
This colour is quite hard to described because it looks like foil but it's not really foil. Also all the particles are kinda in a light coloured jelly. I've used two thick coats and the coverage was quite enough. Polish dried fast and the colour is so cool!

I presented you this colour already in my last week review!!!

NOTD - OPI Warm and Fozzie

Welcome,

As you have probably seen I got the OPI Mini Muppets Collection 2 weeks ago. (Whole review is coming soon ;)) I absolutely fell in love with this bottle that I just had to buy the bigger bottle of it :D

Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce you to OPI - Warm and Fozzie:

 

I have to add that I'm actually not a big fan of brown nail polish colors as I always felt they don't fit good with my skin ton but when I tried this nail polish I was so surprised and it wasn't love on the first sight BUT love on the first varnish ^^

This color is for me unique! It feels like you wear falling leaves from a tree in Fall, on your nails, in other words you practically wear the Fall itself on your nails! Or to describe it even more differently it's just like a painting, on your nails. I wore this color over a week on my nails, which is an award for this polish cuz normally I get really fast enjoyed wearing one color so long but not with this one :D


I needed two coats to cover my nails perfectly! It has red and yellow shimmer on a very beautiful brown/bronze color as base.

Here is it with some flash light!


I really hope you could see what I can see in this color :) My camera isn't the best one to catch the perfectness of this polish.

This polish is one of my new favorites and if you are still looking for a polish in Winter, I can only suggest you this one cuz I think it's also good for Winter as for Fall. It's definitely a must-have nail polish. Go get em!!!!!!!!! ;)

Next week a more specific review about the Muppet Collection coming… but as you probably heard from my excitement about this color, you can sure already guess that this is my favorite of the Muppet Collection.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE OPI NAIL POLISH? O.o

GOODBYE,

Nail polish swap?!

Hey guys,

Someone needs to explain me how those nail polish swaps work! I always see pictures of swaps but I don't know how you do them!!!! xD

It would be nice to know thought, cuz maybe I'd like to try it out :)

Can you give me advises, tips??!!!
Do the polishes need to be brand new or can I also swap polishes I only used 1-2 x?!

I really like to owe a Zoya, China Glaze or Wet N Wild polish but I can't buy them here...


DON'T FORGET TO ENTER MY 400TH FOLLOWER GIVEAWAY!!!

I don't know when I'm gonna update my page this week as I'm in the middle of my exams, probably on Friday or Saturday! ;)

Much Love,

Sinful Colors Lavande - My first SC nail polish :)

Welcome,

This is my first Sinful Colors nail polish I bought and have been wearing the last days!

Taaadaaaa, it's a violet, Lavande to be more precise, since that's my favorite color (as you can also see from the background lol) I had to owe a SC in that color ;)

 

 
  

I really love this one, it is stunning! I think the color looks amazing and I was surprised how good the coverage of this brand is. I mean I actually only needed one coat, but I did 2 as I'm used to it, but one would have been enough.
 

Depending on the light, this color can look a bit like blue.


I love the design of the bottle, it's really handy and the formula convinced me totally too ^^

I can only suggest you this brand, and if you like violet I think this polish is the perfect one, not too dark, not too light, and a perfect coverage after one coat!!!

So I payed almost 7 € for this one, which I think is a good and nice price in the price-performance ratio. I heard that they are very cheap in the US *jealous* I'd buy a houndred of these if they were a bit cheaper!

What do you think about this brand? I'd like to hear your judgment/opinion :)

I'm sooooo SORRY!!!!! I made a mistake

Heeey guys,


My 200th follower giveaway is closed and the winner announced! One week to early -.-" My mistake!!!! I hope you are not pissed. That's why I'm writning this post, things in my head got messed up latetly, I'm in the middle of my exams, and it was actually planned that the giveaway end this Friday, but on the form is marked next Friday, and I first didn't even notice it until a few of my followers were asking me what's going on. I'm very deeply sorry but also I can't change the fact anymore that the winner was already announced and it is how it is now… :( I didn't had the intention to gain more followers by this way!!! Keeping my giveaway on sidebars, making people enter my page, to get their attention and make them follow me although my giveaway is already over was really not what I wanted, I wish I could turn back time!!!!!

Can those of you that put my giveaway on their sidebar, please remove it??? That would be a help already to not let people enter it anymore.


I still hope you guys can forgive me, and don't unfollow me for that reason.
There will be a new giveaway to be able to win, tomorrow PROMISED and it wil be a little apologize giveaway! :)


Much love,


Irsada

EOTD - Vanille-Black Look AND Comparaison of black and white waterline

Heeey peeps,

 This is my eye make-up of the day that I have created using the black and vanille eyeshadows by Urban Decay! (products at the bottom of the review)

 

I first applied my eyeshadow base!
Then I put "Blackout" onto my whole lid keeping the outer corner round, and then I put "Vanille" on my inner corner, as brow bone highlight and a bit under my upper lashes, before I draw the black upper eyeline. The shimmery of "Vanille" will find it's way on the black eyeshadow, so DON'T BLEND (there's no need for that)!


With flash light:

 

I absolutely adore "Vanille" it pimps the matt black automaticly up :) and looks also beautiful used with other dark shadows!


THE COMPARAISON:
left: black lower waterline & right: white lower waterline

I'm showing you this because I wanted you to see the difference of a white and black upper waterline!!!
With the black waterline my eyes look more sexier, I suggest this look when you go out! Probably too sexy for the day.
With the white waterline my eyes look bigger, sweeter and kind of more Lolita.


ZOOM:

  

PRODUCTS USED:

essence I <3 STAGE eyeshadow base



On my lids: "Blackout" & "Vanille" by Urban Decay (15 year anniversary palette)


 


For the black waterline: essence I <3 ROCK gloss eye pencil

 
And for the white waterline: essence white kajal pencil
  

WHAT DO YOU THINK?


Much love,


Irsada

P.s: I won't be much on or do reviews the next 2-3 weeks, as my exams are starting on Monday! Wish me luck ^^
