Hey there Internet, how are you today?

Remember waaaaaaay back last week when I posted the first part of OPI’s Holiday Wishes collection? Well I finally have the second half to show you. The sad part is, the sun decided to hate me this day, so the pics aren’t as nice as they should have been, sigh. Oh well, I guess I can’t control Mother Nature.

The formula on these is really good and thick. Almost all of them were two coaters.

For me, this is the better half of the collection (read: no red’s). Let me know what you think!

Shim-Merry Chic

Shim-Merry Chic is a caramel colored polish with gold flake glitter, and green  and gold micro-glitter. I love this one because it’s unique, and really pretty. This was three coats for full opacity,

Good morning!

Today I have two colors by MAC from their holiday collection called Magic, Mirth, and Mischief. One is a re-release and one is brand spankin’ new.

These are both metallics, and the formula is pretty streaky. They can be totally opaque in just one coat though and they dry super fast. When applying, be careful to only wipe once down the nail for the middle and each side, and use a thin coat.

FYI these pics were taken on a cloudy day so they aren’t the greatest. Take a peek.

$$$$$ Yes

$$$$$ Yes is a silver metallic. Honestly nothing that exciting here, I feel as though we all have a silver like this by now, though it’s still nice. This is the one that’s a re-release.

Hey there!

Today I will be showing you the first half of my swatches of OPI’s new winter 2009 collection called Holiday Wishes.

Holiday Wishes is comprised of a lot of reds, and then quite a few interesting colors that I wouldn’t normally think OPI would do. The finishes are super cool and different on a lot of them.

As far as formula, these are all on the thicker side, but also nice and opaque in just two coats for most. Let’s take a peek!

Ginger Bells!

Ginger Bells! is a, um, ginger colored creme? Don’t know how else to describe it! Kind of gingerbread cookie-esque. I actually really didn’t like it until the third coat, and I still kind of think it’s just meh. Maybe it just doesn’t look good on me. As I said, this was three coats.

Happy Friday!

I cannot believe I am showing you this, but I need to start posting my holiday collections or I’ll never get them all done!

Today I’ve got Color Club’s mini glitter collection called Wonderland. These are your basic Christmasy looking glitters so let’s take a peek, shall we?

Wonderland

Wonderland is silver glitter in clear gloss. To me this would be best used as “icing on the cake” in other words, on top of other colored polishes. This was two coats.

What’s up party people?

I have a sneak peek at the two nail lacquers coming out in MAC’s Holiday collection for 2009 called Magic, Mirth and Mischief. One is a re-promote and one is new. Check them out!

$$$ Yes (silver) and Lucky Number (pink)

$$$ Yes is a re-promote from the Heatherette collection and is a silver foil. Lucky Number is new and is a metallic blue pink. They are both limited edition. This collection comes out on October 15th and I know I’ll be getting them both!
