OPI Nail Polish Haul + Swatches

I haven't blogged for quite a while now + I'm sorry for that. Been a bit busy with school work etc as exams are coming up after the Easter Holidays. 

Anyway, moving on to the main subject. I have an OPI haul! I managed to grab a few OPI goodies on sale in Sallys yesterday ^^

OPI ~ My Daddy's the King!

RRP: £8.99 £3.49

OPI Princess Minis 

RRP: £12.15 £4.49

L-R: Bubble Bath, Alpine Snow, Pink-ing of You, RapiDry Top Coat

Great bargains don't cha think? ^^

Swatches:

OPI My Daddy's the King!

This is a shimmery pink/nude colour. Applied with 2-3 coats so I would say it's not very sheer! Great for those who love pinks or nudes + love a bit of shimmer ^^

L-R: Alpine Snow, Pink-ing of You, Bubble Bath

You can actually use Alpine Snow as a tip for French manicure but I decided to do apply it onto my nail to see what it would look like on it's own. It's quite nice, but a little too bold for me ^^

 Pink-ing of You is quite similar to Nails Inc's Warwick Avenue. It's a cute pink colour, great for pink lovers!

Bubble Bath is a very sheer nude. Probably not as sheer as OPI's Samoan Sand though. It's a great nude, great for daily wear.

I hope I don't start an OPI addiction... I'm starting to become really interested in OPI nail polishes these days! 

What's your favourite OPI nail polish?

NOTD: OPI Last Friday Night (Katy Perry Collection)

Okay, I was 'attempting' to not put any nail polish onto my nails till I go to Hong Kong which is 2-3 weeks away but I just couldn't help myself! I managed only two days with nothing on my nails + I just had the sudden urge to repaint my nails today. 

So this is what I'm wearing!

Last Friday Night

From OPI's Katy Perry Collection

Last Friday Night is a very sheer blue glittery polish. I would probably apply this over a light blue polish next time but I currently don't have any light blue polishes. 

If you'd rather wear this on it's own, you would have to apply A LOT of coats for the blue to turn out. Although it may look very blue in the bottle, it is very sheer so don't be fooled if you want a visible blue glittery polish!

Overall, I don't mind it. The color is okay, great for applying over other colors though ^^

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 (=

Nail Polish Haul + Swatches (feat. Nails Inc, OPI + Drugstore)

My second haul post so far. Nail Swatches will be towards the end of this post!

Today I took advantage of Superdrug's 3 for 2 promotion on selected Maybelline New York products. I picked up three nail polishes from their Forever Strong Pro collection - Ivory Rose, Pink Shimmer & Nude Rose. These are normally £4.09 each so a pretty good bargain for the 3 for 2 promotion!

L-R: Ivory Rose, Pink Shimmer, Nude Rose

I also picked up Rimmel London's Matte Finish top coat as I've been wanting a matte top coat for quite a while now!

RRP: £4.59

My friend Anna (check out her blog here! She will be posting a nail polish & cosmetics haul soon!). She managed to pick up two Nails Inc nail polishes for me while Boots held there Diet Coke promotion which was to buy two bottles of Diet Coke & recieve a free Nail Inc polish. My friend kindly picked up the Caramel & Denim polishes for me:

L-R: Caramel, Denim

I am also delighted to be the owner of my very first OPI nail polish as my friend Anna passed down one of her OPI nail polishes to me. It's the OPI Samoan Sand which is a very sheer nude coloured polish:

RRP: £9.95

NAIL SWATCHES:

L-R: Maybelline Ivory Rose, Pink Shimmer, Nude Rose, Nails Inc Caramel, Denim

I have applied Rimmel London's Matte Finish Top coat here. I must say, the results are really nice!

OPI Samoan Sand

Again, I applied Rimmel London's Matte Finish Top coat. I have this nail polish including the matte top coat on my nails at the moment. Loving the colour!

So this it the end of my haul, hope my nail swatches were okay! First time swatching so many polishes ^^

Also just wanted to add a photo of my slowly growing nail polish collection ~
