OPI "The Bond-ettes" mini nailpolish set

Hello and happy mid-week guys !! :P
How have you been? How was your week so far?? I have some exciting nail varnish swatches for you today. As most of you already know, OPI released their Skyfall /James Bond collection. Some of the colours were exciting and others ,not so much. However, I was looking for one of them and couldn't find it anywhere so when I realised it was available in the set with the mini varnishes I decided to pick that up instead of going on a wild goose chase so-to-speak.
Now, without further ado, here are some pictures of the varnishes...!

This is "Goldeneye" and I bought the full size bottle before I purchased the set.

Now, since the last one(live and let die) is the reason why I bought this set in the first place I also have some swatches of this polish ,on the nails, to share with you...



Did you pick any colours up from this collection?What do you think of these colours??

I ♥ owls NOTD

Quick NOTD from me today featuring my attempt to do an owl nail design....!!!I really wanted to have more than one owls on my nails but I did start working recently and I didn't think it was appropriate. I chose a nude base which is my all time favourite Essie "Sand Tropez" (swatches HERE). I also made the owl using OPI's "Barefoot in Barcelona" which is relatively nude as well.
Anyway.....take a look and let me know whether you like it or not. Also keep in mind that I am not the most talented person when it comes to designs so please be lenient.


What do you think??Decent?? :P

NOTD: OPI "Thanks a windmillion"

Hello my lovelies,

How have you been? This week has been pretty hard for me. Work was worse than usual and I have been experiencing more and more anxiety as the days go by. Easter flew by and I didn't experience any of it really , much like Christmas, which makes me a little sad but what can you do?Having said that I only have a month before I come back home and that is the only thing that keeps me going at this point. 
Now on to super-happy-fun stuff...I have a NOTD for you today and it features the 2nd varnish I picked up from the OPI Holland collection. The colour is called: Thanks a windmillion and it is a pastel green. The shade is between a mint and a dusty/muted pistachio green. It is a gorgeous spring and summer shade and I have nothing like it in my collection. 



Let me know if you like this colour and whether you would pick it up, given the chance!! ;) ;)

NOTD: Dutcha just love OPI

I have a quick NOTD for you today featuring OPI's "Dutcha just love OPI" from their latest "Holland" collection. This is a gorgeous mid-toned purple with very very fine golden shimmers. It is a very unique colour and I have nothing like it in my collection. I have spotted one more colour that I like but I am trying to cut back on spending money so I am not sure whether I will splurge on that.Let me know what you think about this colour and/or whether you'll be picking up any colours from the collection.




What do you think??

OPI Mini Muppets swatches

Hello my beautiful readers!!
I have a post for you today featuring swatches of the OPI muppets mini nailpolishes.

From left to right: Wocka Wocka, Excuse Moi, Designer...de Better & Warm and Fozzie


I also have some individual swatches. They are not perfect and I would like to apologize for that. I am planning on buying a new camera so that I can "deliver" better photos for you. If you have any suggestions please do let me know...:)

Wocka Wocka: This is a nice red with a gorgeous gold shimmer that doesn't show up in photos unfortunately.

Excuse Moi! : This is a multicolour glitter with a red base.

Designer...de Better. This is my favourite colour. It is a metallic silver with a bronzey undertone.Absolutely gorgeous and very unique colour.

Warm and Fozzie: This is a metallic brownish colour which is a little difficult to describe. This polish has gold and red undertones. This mixture of colours makes the polish look brownish/bronzey.

Now, if you are looking for the most unique colour to pick up from this collection I would recommend: Designer...de Better.I am also considering picking up the multicoloured glitter polish from this collection because it caught my eye, however I haven't decided yet. If anyone owns please please let me know what you think of it.
That is all...!I hope you liked this post.
