OPI Designer... de Better!

Another color from the OPI Muppets collection:

Sunlight

Shade

OPI Designer... de Better! 3 Coats. Silvery/bronzy foil base with rust-colored flecks. I didn't want this at first because I never noticed the flecks. When I finally got around to seeing this in person, I had to have it. Its so pretty!

OPI Excuse Moi!

Happy November! Its officially holiday season in my book :) Except for working retail, I love this time of the year.

When I got the other 3 Muppets glitters (Divine Swine, Fresh Frog of Bel Air, and Gone Gonzo) they were out of this glitter but I finally got my hands on it. Check out the magic:

Sunlight

Shade

OPI Excuse Moi! 3 coats. Pink base with multicolor glitter. So beautiful. Unlike the other glitters in this collection, This is an full coverage glitter that can be worn on its own (yay!). This is my favorite glitter from the collection because of that reason. This is probably a toe color for me since I generally don't do pinks on my fingers but its so unique I may end up wearing it. I wear Katy Perry Teenage Dream on my fingers because its fantastic so I may very well wear this on my fingers. Its beautiful. And here's a mandatory bottle picture to show the multi-colored gorgeousness:

Thanks for reading!

OPI Warm and Fozzie + Current Mani and Pedi

Today's post is another color from the Muppet's collection plus my current manicure.

OPI Warm and Fozzie. 3 coats. Bronzey/Copper shimmery glitter with red and gold glitter. This color reminds me of Thanksgiving and will definitely be wearing it on that day. I like it because its a fall glitter and its not too overpoweringly sparkly. 

Here's my current mani. I wanted something a little toned-down:

OPI Dulce de Leche with OPI Warm and Fozzie accent nail. 2 coats each. Like I said before, I wanted something toned down and Dulce de Leche is a perfect neutral for my skin tone but I didn't want just Dulce de Leche so I figured Warm and Fozzie would be glittery accent color. I really like this combination! 

And now a picture of my feet (haha!):

OPI Paint my Moji-toes Red (1 coat) with OPI Divine Swine (2 coats) on top. Pretty and glittery, yes? Yes. I like it!

I'll be continuing my China Glaze Holiday collection swatches in the next few days... I also have one more new Muppet's collection color to post :) Check back!

OPI Divine Swine

Like I promised, here's the third Muppets glitter

OPI Divine Swine. 3 coats, no topcoat. Gorgeous red-based purple glitter with silver hex glitter. Just like with Gone Gonzo and Fresh Frog, this one is a layering polish which I'm not really a fan of. Like I said before, I was really hoping these would be solid glitters. It still doesn't take away the fact that its a beautiful color! I'll be posting some Orly Holiday Soiree collection colors in the next few days, check back for that!

OPI Fresh Frog of Bel Air

Today I bring you another of the Muppets Collection glitters!

OPI Fresh Frog of Bel Air 3 coats, no topcoat. These Muppets glitters are definitely layering glitters. I'm kind of disappointed by that because I was hoping these would be just glitter that could be worn alone instead of having to layer. This is gorgeous though. I love green and I love glitters so this is nice. This is also the perfect green glitter for the holidays... I already have big plans for this color come December!! 

Tomorrow I'll have a swatch of another one of the Muppets glitters! Until then :)

OPI Gone Gonzo

Today's post is the first of the Muppets collection glitters that I picked up (4 total)

Gone Gonzo. 3 coats, no topcoat. Clear base loaded with light blue glitter and silver hex glitter. I'm fairly sure that if I thin this, it'll cover better though Its not a very dense glitter and can't be worn alone (sad). Its a beautiful color. This is the one my eyes were drawn to immediately when I saw the collection first. Its beautiful ! I also picked up Fresh Frog of Bel Air, Rainbow Connection, and Divine Swine... Fresh Frog and Divine Swine will be posted in the next couple of days! I'm planning a comparison post for Rainbow Connection that should be up at some point later this month. Until then, I suggest you go look at these in person just be aware they need to be layered!

Currently on my nails: Ski Teal We Drop and Gone Gonzo

Just finished doing a manicure first I started off with just Ski Teal We Drop but then I thought that one of the new Muppets glitters would be perfect as an accent... here's what I got:

OPI Ski Teal We Drop. Basecoat, 2 coats, Seche Vite. 

Ski Teal We Drop, 2 coats + 1 coat of Gone Gonzo on accent nail. Ski Teal We Drop is a dark teal color. I just picked this up today. I've been wanting a color like this for a while and I love it. Its fantastic! After I did my mani, I thought that Gone Gonzo would look awesome as an accent. Since it currently feels like summer in So-Cal (It was 101 yesterday!) I didn't want to stick with just Ski Teal We Drop though its a perfect fall color, it doesn't feel like fall so Gone Gonzo really helps liven it up! I love this combo!

OPI Press Release: Muppets Collection!!!!

This line features six shimmery reds and neutrals, as well as six glitter-packed shades, including:

Animal-istic
This wild bright red cannot be tamed!

Meep-Meep-Meep
Missing out on this fuchsia would make you weep, weep, weep!

Wocka Wocka!
The popular deep berry makes everything fun and merry!

Pepe’s Purple Passion
This deep, decadent shade is the best purple ever, okay!

Designer, de Better! 
And this light metallic bronze is ready for the runway.

Warm & Fozzie
A feel-good shade of metallic copper.

Rainbow Connection
The rainbow glitter of your dreams.

Excuse Moi! 
Ahem! This pink glitter has something to say!

Gone Gonzo!
The aqua-blue glitter is taking over the world!

Fresh Frog of Bel Air

Divine Swine
The finest, most fabulous magenta glitter ever.

Gettin’ Miss Piggy With It!
Red glittery fun for everyone!

Lacquer packed with micas and sparkle gives a 3-dimensional textured look that makes nails look like jewelry. With shades ranging from textured glitters in rainbow, red, green and blue to softer shimmers in copper and bronze metallic hues, these twelve colors provide the perfect accessory for the holiday season.

As with all OPI nail lacquers, these shades inspired by Disney’s The Muppets contain no DBP, Toluene, or Formaldehyde, and feature OPI’s exclusive ProWide^™ Brush for the ultimate in application.
