Recently some people had asked me if I had reviewed Sephora by OPI Midnight Mambo or Only Gold For Me. I hadn’t but when I was purchasing some fun goods from Sephora, I decided to pick ‘em up and see if they were any good.

Midnight Mambo is from the limited edition Havana Nights collection (I reviewed most of it here) and Only Gold For Me is a top coat with pizazz.

Midnight Mambo

Midnight Mambo is a light, bright blue with silver and holographic chunky glitter. The silver glitter is small, round and very fine and the holographic glitter is hexagonal and larger. I dunno, I kinda like it. I wasn’t all that excited for it in the bottle, but when it’s on I think it’s pretty cool. It does dry a little gritty, but a top coat would help with that. It was pretty opaque, I only needed two coats and I had no formula or application issues.

Happy Saturday folks!

As you may have heard Sephora by OPI has their new fall collection out on their website already. It looks like they have about nine new colors and I bought four of the ones that looked the most interesting to me.

I wound up being pretty pleased with three of the four. I was a little worried because some of them were described as “sheer” but they really are only sheer if you use one coat.

The formula was pretty decent. The metallic ones were a wee bit streaky but not too bad. They all were only two coats with one exception.

Go My Own Way

Go My Own Way is a kind of dusty blue metallic teal with light blue shimmer. This reminds me of the ocean. It’s an unusual blue, which makes it fairly unique for me. I liked it even though it was a little streaky. This was two coats.

Good morning!

Today I’ve got the new Sephora by OPI colors for summer 2010. Well I have 4 out of 6 of them at least.

I have reviewed a lot of colors in this line by now and overall I really think the polish is pretty nice. I do wish they were less expensive and I am not fond of the bottle shape, but I can’t control everything I suppose.

The formula on these was pretty decent. I did have some clumping at the tip with one of them, but I think that was more my fault for applying too thick and fast rather than the polishes fault.

Read on!

Read My Palm

Read My Palm is yep, you got it, a mint green creme. What can I say, it’s pretty, flattering and opaque in two coats. It has a slightly dusty effect compared to some other mint greens I have. I love it. I think I am going to have to add this and yet another mint green I got yesterday to another mint green post soon!

Morning!

Today I have a weird hodge podge kind of post.

I have some Sinful Colors that I wanted to show but I also wanted to show a comparison of some glitters that have all come out recently and are very similar.

Uhhh nothing much else to say other than check the reviews and pics below!

Nail Junkie (without flash)

Nail Junkie is a pale sheer-ish sea-green jelly with multi colored and sized glitter in it. We’ve got some round glitter and some flake glitter, which I think makes this pretty interesting. I don’t think I would wear this on its own since it’s so sheer, but it would look crazy (good) over another green or black. This was three coats.

Hallo!

Sephora by OPI has some new colors out for spring! There are 6 new colors, and I have the four that appealed to me the most.

I am apologizing again for these not so great pics, sorry!

Handpicked For Me

Handpicked For Me is a pink/lilac, shimmer. This pic is kinda blown out, the color is a little deeper in real life. This was a wee bit sheer and I used three coats to get it to this opacity.
