OPI’s Spring/Summer collection for 2012 looks…vaguely familiar. The base colors look similar to recently-released shades from Zoya, but with the addition of gold and silver flakies - actual flakies, not the cheap mylar strips that some companies think we’ll be satisfied with. (Glancing at some other reviews...
This color is very, very close to Twilight Green - but without the hints of blue. The result is a straight evergreen with the faintest shimmer, nearly a soft pearl finish rather than an all-out shimmer. This is another shade like True Green, in that it almost looks matte. And...
This straight mica almost reminds me of a Blue Spruce, which is a cool evergreen from a distance and the needles have a faint blue when you're up close. Definitely a cooler blue, and without a primer of some kind this won't stay in place very long. I love this...
My best advice is: write about what you're passionate about, in your own voice. That combination will make your blog unique from anyone else, but it will also be the most enjoyable to maintain, and the least work to polish and improve (if you are taking this to a pro...
Not my favorite shade ever. It isn't too yellow for me to wear - always a concern with “nude” lip shades - but I just don't love how it looks on me. It's got a very faint hint of pink, so it's not a straight tan. I just prefer something...
This color ended up being a bit more greyed than Cho, but still…too yellow to work well for me. I may use this for stamping, but not as an all-over color. I'll stick with Shay and Pandora, whose undertones work much better for me - I don't look like...
A nice brighter holiday-green. (Though, I must admit, I liked China Glaze's holiday greens a little better. The colors were less bright, but just as saturated.) This polish will show imperfections in the nail, but not quite as much as other polishes. It spreads well and evenly, not holding any...
I don’t remember accurately; but I think that these might have been temporarily unavailable for about nine months, most of 2011. (But like I said, I don’t remember.) All I know for sure is: these were available in 2012; and there were Fyrinnae blushes available in previous years but I...
This isn’t available for purchase any longer; but it was one of the better ways to pick up a good selection of matte Lipsurgence colors. The mattes have the best staying power, in my opinion; and you can always jazz them up by adding a layer of your favorite...
I don't know if this color doesn't have the same color payoff as True Green, or if it just seems that way…either way, this color is closer to a slightly orange red, than what I personally envision when I think of “coral.” Pigmentation level is decent, just more in...
