OPI Katy Perry Collection (+ Swatches)

I went to 'Sally Beauty Supply' on Monday hoping to grab a few goodies from there that day. I ended up walking out the shop with OPI's Katy Perry Collection (the mini nail lacquers). I was going to buy the regular size of 'Teenage Dream' but I decided to buy the mini collection instead as there was more variety  ^^



L-R: The One That Got Away, Teenage Dream, Last Friday Night + Not Like the Movies
RRP - £12.98

Swatches:


Not Like the Movies

I've seen swatches of this nail polish before I got the collection + I didn't really like it. But after swatching it, I absolutely love it. It's a shimmery metallic purple/green + looks great!



The One That Got Away

This isn't really my cup of tea but it is nice. I probably wouldn't really wear this as I'm not a major hot pink lover. However, those who love pinks, this is great! It's a shimmery hot pink ^^



Teenage Dream

I loved this nail polish ever since I first saw swatches of it. It's a sheer pink with silver glitters on it which is great for special occasions. Also, you could probably apply this over a nail polish to make it more glittery + sparkly ~



Last Friday Night

This is slightly the same as Teenage Dream but a sheer blue instead. You need to apply at least 2 thick coats for the blue to come out as it's VERY sheer. Again, you could apply this on top of a nail polish for a glittery  shimmery effect ^^


I didn't purchase OPI's Black Shatter (which is also part of the Katy Perry Collection) as I already have Barry M's Nails Effect. They're both basically the same (=

What do you think of OPI's Katy Perry Collection?

NOTD: Rimmel London Lycra Pro - Beige Style

Decided to put on Rimmel London's Beige Style nail polish today. It is available in Boots or Superdrug for £4.59. 
I've had this nail polish for quite a while now & it's by far my most favourite nail polish at the moment ^^ 



I think the polish is a creamy beige/nude colour which I quite like. It's nothing too fancy or too casual, just something that you can wear on a day to day basis ^^
It's easy to apply onto your nails & drys pretty quick too.

When applying nail polish, I always use a top coat & base coat. I purchased a new top & base coat today which is Rimmel London's 5 in 1 nail care polish, also available in Boots or Superdrug for £4.59.


I find that it drys really quickly and that it is also easy to apply onto your nails. Would highly recommend it!

NOTD: Nails Inc - Warwick Avenue

I decided to pick up GLAMOUR's December issue of their magazine worth £2 each as it came with a free Nails Inc. nail polish worth £11 alone. They were available in four colours: Hamstead Heath, Warwick Avenue, Saville Row & Jermyn Street.


I ended up buying Warwick Avenue & Jermyn Street ^^

I decided to use Warwick Avenue today & this is what it looks like (with flash):


I like it. It's like a creamy pastel pink, not too pink which I like ^^
