Life is Short. Buy the Makeup.

OPI "Miss Piggy's Big Number" I picked up OPI's "Miss Piggy's Big Number" nail polish during a Buy One Get Two Free Sale (Check out the details for these sales HERE ), and I finally got a chance to try it on! This shade is from the OPI 2014 Muppets Most Wanted Collection. These polishes retail for around $9 (0.5 fl oz) at mass locations and are available year round. Let's get in to the review!

OPI Eurso Euro I was finally able to get my hands on an iconic shade from OPI, Eurso Euro. This shade is from the OPI Spring 2013 Euro Centrale Collection.  This shade is on clearance at Ulta for $4.75, down from it's original retail price of $9.50. You can still find this shade at mass retailers for around $9. Let's get in to the review!

OPI "My Vampire Is Buff" I recently got a great deal on OPI's "My Vampire Is Buff" from a local salon, one bottle for $3. Check out my post on how to get this deal HERE . Each bottle of OPI Nail Polish is the standard 0.5 oz glass bottle. This shade and other OPI polishes retail for about $9 at Ulta , Walmart, and other mass retailers.  But how does this shade perform??

Deborah Lippmann Glitter Polish I recently picked up my first Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish! I found this little beauty at my local TJmaxx for only $6.99! See my complete haul post HERE . The Deborah Lippmann Glitter Polishes retail for $20 at select Ulta and Sephora locations, as well as online at Deborah Lippmann's website .

The last review for the OPI Fifty Shades of Grey Collection is here! Last up is the darkest shade from the Collection that is now available at Ulta  and select locations, Dark Side of the Mood. Each nail polish is the standard 0.5 fl ounces and retails for $9.50 at Ulta. 

Up next for review for the new OPI 50 Shades of Grey Collection is "Cement The Deal". You can read the review for "Embrace The Gray" HERE . Each of these OPI polishes retail for $9.50 and are available online and in-store at Ulta and select salons and locations.

OPI recently released the Fifty Shades of Grey Collection for 2015 ! I am absolutely obsessed with the book series and cannot wait to see the film, so I knew I had to pick up the collection! Each bottle within this collection is the standard 0.5 fl ounces and retails for $9.50 at Ulta , and around $9 at select salons and retailers that carry OPI. I picked up three of the matte gray shades as you will see in the coming swatches and reviews. The first one I shall be reviewing and swatching for you guys is "Embrace The Gray". Which I'm sort of disappointed with the name, why not "Embrace The Grey", just my thought. But let's get into the review!

With the Fall season under way, I thought I would show you guys my favorite nail polishes for the fall! I love dark nail polishes year round, so being able to rock out the dark reds and purples is awesome!! These brands are also my favorite for drugstore nail polishes. Here we go! OPI "Got The Blues For Red" OPI "Germanicure By OPI" Revlon Brilliant Strength "Enthrall" Revlon Nail Enamel "Plum Night" Revlon Nail Enamel "Carbonite"

 I recently picked up a shade from the semi-new line available from Sinful Colors, the Sinful Shine Nail Polish in "Alfresco" . They are available at Walgreens and depending on your location, can retail for between $1.99 and $2.99 . They are the standard Sinful Colors 0.5 fl oz size and are made in the USA. The Shine collection claims to have the same formula as a gel nail polish with the same high shine finish and the same long wearing formula . The packaging of this line is also slightly different from the original in that the top is a reflective steal grey versus the traditional non-reflective black. There are 32 shades available . "Alfresco" can best be described as a periwinkle blue . This is a creamy matte color with no shimmer or sparkle. The perfect color for spring and summer! What I love most about this shade is that it's almost completely opaque with 1 coat! I'd say it's about 90% opaque with one coat. Below on the right is ...

OPI recently launched their Nordic Collection for Fall/Winter 2014. And in the collection is this little beauty, OPI "Do You Have This Color In Stock-holm?" . This collection is now available at Ulta, and other select retailers that carry OPI. Each bottle retails for $9.50 at Ulta , which is where I picked mine up. "Do You Have This Color In Stock-holm?" is a beautiful deep blue-purple . I would describe the color as a dark royal blue with a touch of dark purple. Don't let the color in the bottle fool you, the actual color is much darker on the nails and more blue than it appears. You'll see in the pictures below the blue is much more prominent. For some reason the color in the pictures and in the bottle is showing up much more blue than it actually is. In person it's definitely more purple. The formula is perfect , not too thick or thin. One coat is too thin, but not streaky. Two coats will provide total opaque color and intensity...

I recently picked up OPI's "German-icure" from the Fall 2012 Germany Collection at Ulta on clearance for 99 cents, it rang up at 50% off its $1.97 price tag! The full name of this polish is "German-icure by OPI" but for convenience I'll just call it "German-icure". Here is a quick review and comparison of this polish for you guys! The packaging is the standard 0.50 fl oz glass bottle that OPI uses. While I did find mine on clearance at Ulta, and this collection did come out 2 years ago, it's possible to still find it at salons or other places OPI is old. "German-icure by OPI" OPI "German-icure" is a dark burgundy brown with a metallic finish . It has a very fine shimmer to the polish that gives it the metallic finish. This color is absolutely stunning in for the Fall, or year round if you love dark polishes. The finish is very shiny and reflects the light perfectly to enhance the metallic finish. "German-...

OPI Start To Finish Base Coat, Top Coat & Strengthener 3-in-1 Treatment   Formaldehyde-Free I was recently in the market for a new base coat for under my nail polish.

This clear coat retails for  $12.95  at  Ulta , and at other locations where OPI is sold. Let's get in to the review!

OPI "4 In The Morning" Nail Polish I recently picked up OPI's "4 In the Morning" from the Gwen Stefani 2014 Collection. This Satin Finish polish is a dark charcoal grey black with subtle small flecks of shimmer . Let's get in to the review!

"All Sparkly and Gold" OPI's "All Sparkly and Gold" came out in the OPI Mariah Carey Holiday 2013 Collection . As the name suggests, this sparkly gold nail polish is perfect for the holidays, as either a nice glitter top coat or completely on its own. Let's get in to the review!

"Visions of Love" OPI's "Visions of Love" is a dark ox blood red . From a distance it looks almost black. This shade came out with the Mariah Carey 2013 Holiday Collection . This color is perfect especially during the fall and winter time but I love it year round. Let's get into the review!
