Sephora Collection Holiday 2012 Collection - The Cinderella Collectiona

I rarely use or blog about color items from the Sephora brand, I have only recently begun using some of their skincare items and while I really like what I have used so far, I haven't yet really worked with any of their color products.  I get too distracted by NARS every single that I go in the store that I haven't really spent much time visiting this counters, also the placement of it in my Sephora store is pretty hidden and I find it way too easy to simply walk right by it (I wonder if it like this in every single store...).  The only reason that their holiday collection caught my eye is that this company teamed up with Disney to create a series of gifts and palettes that are worthy of any princess. 

I really love a lot of movies and products from Disney and Cinderella was a favorite movie of mine when I was a little girl.  I know that I must have dreamed of dressing up in a ball gown and having a Fairy Godmother enough times when I was a child and I fully believe that the fantasty never ends.  Now I am more likely to dream about getting dressed up in a Marchesa gown and going to a Met Gala but the same ideal still holds in this fantasy.  It is no wonder that this collection gots lots of coverage in the massive Sephora Holiday Gift catalogue...

This is a full collection of gifts and also contains a brand new fragrance.  "We all have a story to tell—the tale of our inner princess enlightened by magical beauty. Disney's Cinderella Collection by Sephora promises your own fairy tale-worthy transformation. Its time to experience Cinderella in a whole new light…with her grand entrance at Sephora as a famous icon. She has inspired this collection with words of wisdom about life, love and making your dreams come true. Her voice is your voice. Her confidence is your confidence. And her moment is your moment."  I can't even decide what I am the most excited about already, the color sets or the fragrance!

Here is the Cinderella Collection!

I love this collection and I want to order everything...considering that I have really used the color products from Sephora Collection I should try and temper my online shopping spree!  I love the huge Collectors Set in this collection, buying this would pretty much be me ordering almost every single thing in the collection, I should at least buy this at the store so that I can play with the products before I buy such a large set.

With the exception of the large Collector's Set, there are a few items in this collection that would simply make my holiday season to own.  My favorite item of the collection is already sold out but I am hopeful that I can find it in the store or that it will come back in stock soon.  The Compact Mirror is lovely and I would love to pull it out for touch ups, it is so unique and I love the clock design on the cover of it.  The perfume also holds much potential for me, it contains Tuberose and Jasmine, two of my favorite fragrance notes.  I guess I should just visit the store and try this one out soon while I am playing with the color products.  I don't need the special Swarovski edition but I really, really, really would love to see it sitting in a prime spot of my dresser.

Looking at the color products...  I am mostly interested in the Eye Shadow Palette (the regular edition, the special edition will not be seen when it lives in my train case).  I have not used any kind of eye shadow from this company so I have no idea what to expect on terms of texture and pigmentation so I need to try this in the store first but I am just so hopeful that they work out as well as I am hoping that they do.  The lip set doesn't really do anything for me so I will skip over this one.  The Nail Polish set is another favorite of mine and I am so excited to see a Sephora Nail Polish collection that actually contains limited edition shades for the holidays.  And the bottles are little - a fact that excited me even more!

This might be one of my favorite gift collections for this whole season...I loved MAC's Venomous Villians and now I love the Sephora and Disney Cinderella Collection!

OPI for Sephora Holiday 2012 Collection - Tinsel Town Collection

It looks like another trip to the Sephora Nail Bar will be in order very soon, the OPI for Sephora collection has released their holiday collection and I am so excited to see what these products and sets look like this year!  This was one of the best collections last holiday season and I loved both the sets and the single polishes that were offered.  I do remember being a bit disappointed in one of the largest sets, I expected it to contain all small bottles of the polishes from the holiday collection and it actually contained all small bottles of the some of the best selling shades from the traditional line up.  There wasn't anything wrong with the set, it contained some very nice shades but I was just really excited to buy a set that contained all of the holiday shades and I was very disappointed that I wasn't able to do this.  I hope that I will see a different type of set in this year's collection...

I get very excited for the nail polish collections that released sets containing many small polishes.  I know that for myself, I typically get about halfway through a traditional sized bottle of nail polish and then get sick of the shade and stop using it.  Several weeks later if I still haven't touched the bottle, then I end up throwing it away in order to make room for more polishes in my collection.  I feel bad almost every single time that I throw a traditional sized bottle away and that is why I would prefer to buy smaller sizes.  I don't feel quite as bad thowing away a very small bottle of polish since I am wasting less product and I will usually get almost 100% of the way through the bottle before I get sick of the shade.  I am really excited to see if this collection contains at leat one or two set that I will pick up.  I see two sets that contain a full range of shades in small bottles and I plan to buy at leat one of the sets!

The collection description is found on the Sephora website and talks about what inspired the Tinsel Town collection and what sets it apart from the rest of the holiday polish collections.  "'“This collection is inspired by the glamorous style and alluring mystique of Old Hollywood’s most elegant starlets,” says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive Vice President and Artistic Director. “Just like Greta Garbo and Audrey Hepburn so beautifully lit up the silver screen, the shades in Tinseltown will light up your nails and add instant glam, sparkle, and style to your look.”'  I love Audrey Hepburn and the mention of her in this collection description gets me instantly excited!

I see that the big sets are not the holiday shades again and that really started this collection off on the wrong foot for me, I know that I can't have everything but I would really just love to have a set of all kinds of small bottles of the pretty, festive shades that this collection releases every holiday.  I guess that I will be skipping over both of the huge sets this time around and just get the smaller sets that have the full size bottles.  I am semi-grumpy over this since I will eventually get sick of those shades too and end up throwing away some of the bottles when I am done with the shades.

My favorite piece from the collection is the Four Piece polish set, this contains four shades that I love from the Tinsel Town collection and I will use all four of these shades for the rest of the holiday and winter months.  I can also use these shades next fall since they are all lovely jewel tones.  I don't really need either of the Two Piece sets and I will skip over both of them too.  From the single shades, Ruby Without a Cause is the one single shade that I need, the others that I really like are all in the Four Piece Set.  The Jewelry Top Coats are really pretty but I only really need one of these since I wouldn't use it very often.  I would buy The Golden Age since it is gold and silver glitter and will be the most versatile of the shades.

OPI for Sephora Fall 2012 Collection - Spice Market

The Nail Bar at Sephora is my go to place at this point, I run over to it as soon as I go into the store and look at all the new products.  Then I take the time to walk around the store and pick out the products that I am buying and then I revisit the Nail Bar because it is nearly impossible for me to leave the store without buying at least one or two more polishes to add to my collection.  The largest part of the bar is the OPI for Sephora collection, my least favorite of the nail polish lines that Sephora carries.  I don't dislike the brand however I prefer to run to the Nails Inc and Illamasqua side.  I do have to remind myself that I have gotten some great polishes from the Sephora house line in the past and I will check out the fall collection, Spice Market.  This collection sounds as though it will contain a bunch of neutral and brown hues, not my favorite type of shades but I am still excited for new nail polishes...

My nail polish collection has now outgrown its home in my bedroom and I am in the process of attempting to find a new home for it.  If anyone has good suggestions, I would love to hear them because I have too much at the moment and I only want more every single time that I go to Sephora or Ulta...

Nail Colour - Fashion-forward, wearable nail colours for the modern woman who is looking for an effective, safe, environmentally conscious brand. Sephora by OPI Nail Colour, a line of 54+ trend-setting shades, puts the final touch on fingertips and toes with a top-quality formula you have come to expect from OPI.  The long-lasting, chip-resistant polish ensures flawless results with each application, and its green ingredient list excludes DBP, toluene, and formaldehyde.  Sephora by OPI combines the quality and color expertise of OPI, the world leader in professional nail color, with Sephora's reputation for the latest in beauty and sophistication.
- Justa' Pinch of Glitter - opaque charcoal fine glitter with chunky silver glitter
- I Think I Cayenne - opaque metallic red-orange
- S-Age is Just a Number - opaque chrome gold with two tone effect
- Living in Cin-Namon - opaque metallic dark red-brown
- Have You Met Rose-Mary? - opaque deep rose-red shimmer
- You're A Nut, Meg - opaque metallic spicy terracotta-cinnamon
- Chamomile-lon To One - sheer pink beige with fine gold glitter
- Thyme For a Mani - opaque light khaki

Spice Market Mini 4-Piece - A four-piece set of petite nail colors in a variety of spicy, fall shades.  Featuring a sun-lit spectrum of reds, golds, and a sparkle-packed silver gliter, Sephora by OPI's Spice Market translates the season's most talked-about trends into must-have nail lacquers for the fall and beyond.  The long-wearing, chip-resistant formulas are free of DBP, toluene, and formaldehyde.
- I Think I Cayenne - opaque metallic red-orange
- Have you Met Rose-Mary? - opaque deep rose-red shimmer
- Justa' Pinch of Glitter - opaque charcaol fine glitter with chunky silver glitter
- S-Age is Just a Number - opaque chrome gold with two tone effect

I see some polish shades in this collection that will bring me back to the front of the Nail Bar, instead of running right to the other lines, I might actually stop at the OPI line of polishes and pick out some new shades.  The best shade in this collection is the charcoal silver shade, Justa' Pinch of Glitter.  I love charcoal shades in the fall and winter and this will be a great addition to my nail polish wardrobe, charcoals are neutrals for me in cold weather.  Chamomile-lon To One is the only other shades that I really want from this collection, this will be another good neutral for me.  I had been wearing pale pinks with shimmer or glitter topcoats all spring and summer and this shade is a way for me to update this look into the fall months.

Most of these shades are too warm for my skintone, I would find them very attractive on other people but not me.  Living in Cin-Namon is my favorite of the shades that are warm-toned, this is very pretty warm red with a shimmer finish, I just wish that this polish was a bit better for my skintone.  S-Age is Just a Number also falls into this category, I will have to see how warm the gold hue really is since cool-toned golds have been coming out recently and this one might fall more into that category, I certainly hope that it does since it will come home with me if it is flattering.

Sephora by OPI Nailed It! Set - Top 10 Best Sellers

The Sephora by OPI line has grown like crazy over the past few years, it started out a few years ago with only a few shades and quickly became one of the top selling lines in the store.  It has grown from a small rack of shades to the feature of the Nail Bar.  This line combines the top rated formula of the OPI line of polishes with the Sephora knowledge of colors and trends, a winning combination.  Over the years, this company has released a series of great sets with all kinds of polish combinations, some of the ones that are released at the holidays make some of the best gifts that you can give!

I just found a brand new Sephora by OPI set up on the Sephora website and this one might just be one of the best yet!  This set consists of the 10 top selling shades from this company, so this is a great introduction to the brand or makes a great gift for any lady who loves nail polish.  I love that the polishes are mini-sized, I personally can never use a whole polish up and usually end up throwing the bottle out before I can finish it.  Mini bottles would actually allow me to use the whole bottle up and gives me a range of shades to try out.  I wish that more companies would make smaller bottles of polishes in sets...

"A 10-piece collection of mini nail polishes in the most popular shades of the year.  Adorn your tips and toes with the best selling nail colors from Sephora by OPI.  From shimmery and glittery, to nude and electric, this collection will have you painted in the right colors all year round.  The purse-perfect size means you can change hues while traveling and easily share the delightful shades with your friends."

This set contains...

- Nonfat Soy Half Caff - sheer pale cappuccino
- Already Famous - sheer pewter with medium champagne and silver glitter
- Havana Dreams - sheer pale sky blue
- Break A Leg-Warmer! - opaque charcoal gray
- It's Bouquet With Me - sheer violet with silver and holographic chunky glitter
- Bare To Be Different - sheer warm ecru
- Leotard Optional - opaque mocha brown
- Metro Chic - opaque dark smoke with a hint of purple
- I'm Wired - opaque electric coral red
- Mermaid To Order - opaque metallic turquoise greem
Of the shades that are listed above, the only one that I currently own is Mermaid to Order.  This shade is a turquoise duochrome that is perfect for the summer months.  I know that I have looked at many of these shades before, many of them were in limited edition collections and it appears that Sephora made some of the best sellers part of their permanent collection.  I love that they decided to keep some of the best sellers around and this is a concept that I hope that MAC catches on to at some point (though I give them kudos for many of the shades that they brought back for the permanent Nail Lacquer collection).  The shades that I want to try the most are It's Bouquet With Me, Metro Chic, and Havana Dreams, the last shade will work well this time of the year and the others will be great for the fall months.  Leotard Optional and Bare To Be Different are the only two shades that might not work out for me since they are both on the warmer side however eight out of ten is pretty good for a set of polishes.

This set makes a great gift for anyone who loves polishes, there is a great range of shades included and everyone will find multiple shades that work out for them.  Any of these are a great addition to the polish collection or this is a great set to help a younger girl start her nail polish collection.  I see this as a great gift for a girl who is just beginning to get into beauty products, there are so many shades for them to try and it will give them some ideas as to what types of shades are the best for them.

I love this set and I am really considering buying this set the next time that I go to the Sephora Nail Bar, I was at the store the other day and I didn't see it yet so I bet that it will be out within the next few days.  Looks like I have to make another trip to the store and to the Nail Bar!

OPI for Sephora Summer 2012 Collection - Indian Summer

Back when Sephora first starting carrying the OPI for Sephora collection, they were among my favorite polishes.  However the last time that I went into my local Sephora, they had a brand new Nail Station and my store now carries a limited line of Nails Inc and Illamasqua (FINALLY!!!) polishes.  Even though this line was all over the front of the stand, I ignored into and ran right to the back for the above brands.  Don't get me wrong...I still like this brand of polishes and I find great shades every season from them but other brands are beginning to overshadow their store display.  OPI for Sephora has finally released their new summer collection, it is only six new shades but they look great on first glimpse.

This new collection of polishes is named Indian Summer and it consists of single polish hues and a set of mini polishes.  This time around, I am hoping that the set of polishes actually contains polishes from the collection, Sephora please tell me that you have learned from my complaining about the past few sets that have come with the collection!  I can tell that this collection will make me want more nail polish hues...I already see a bright pink polish.  I have bought more pink polishes this season than any time before but I keep finding more shades that I want to add to my collection!

"A collection of vibrant polishes that capture the heat of summer.  This set of bold colors pays homage to the carefree attitude of a sizzling summer vacation, reminding you to kick off your sandals, enjoy a sunset, and soak up the sun.  Whether you leave the house in a bikini or a little black dress, these chic polishes will add instant flare and a kiss of summer to any look.  From tantalizing turquoise to fierce fuchsia and bright poppy orange, this bevy of beautiful shades will have your tips looking as hot as the sun overhead feels."

- Paisley Attention to Me - opaque tangerine orange
- Henna-Thing is Possible - opaque metallic fuchsia
- I'm So Sari! - opaque turquoise with fine and chunky iridescent glitter
- Seriously, It's a Naan-Issue - opaque deep purple
- What Aura You Gonna Wear? - opaque hot pink
- Looks Like Rain Dear - opaque gold with fine and chunky iridescent glitter

Indian Summer Mini Set - A collection of four petit nail colours with vibrant, summer-inspired hues.  This set of bold colours pays homage to the carefree attitude of sizzling summer vacation, reminding you to kick off your sandals, enjoy a sunset, and soak up the sun.  Whether you leave the house in a bikini or a little black dress, these chic polishes will add instant flare and a kiss of summer to any look.  Experience a variety of the season's brights and have your tips looking as hot as the sun overhead feels.
- Paisley Attention to Me - opaque tangering orange
- What Aura You Gonna Wear? - opaque hot pink
- I'm So Sari! - opaque turquoise with fine and chunky iridescent glitter
- Seriously, It's a Naan-Issue - opaque deep purple

I am all over the new set, finally Sephora has decided to make a set that only contains new shades from the collection.  And it even contains some of the best shades at that, good job Sephora!  However I actually thinking that I might skip over the set since I really want many of the single shades, my favorite shade is the one that I have pictured.  This shade is I'm So Sari, one of the best glitters that I have seen this summer.  I love this turquoise hue and I must buy this the next time that I go to Sephora.  The only other shade that I must own is Look Like Rain Dear, this is a lovely and very unique gold shade that I will wear all through the summer and well into the fall and holiday season.  I like What Aura You Gonna Wear? but it isn't the most unique hot pink and since I just bought Illamasqua's Collide shade, I don't really need another hot pink shade the way that I need the two above shades.

This line still doesn't hold a candle to Illamasqua or Nails Inc but this is a solid collection that I think will sell very well this summer.

OPI for Sephora Spring 2012 Collection - Bohemian Brights

I still haven't found the Electropop collection from China Glaze at my Ulta store and I have been filling the void by checking out every other nail polish brand that I can think of.  I am hoping that this collection comes out before I go crazy, China Glaze is also coming out with another collection this spring for the release of The Hunger Games movie and I am dying for shades from both collections.  I may not be as excited about some of the other spring collections of nail polishes but at least I know that I can find them easily.  Today we will look at the newest collection from OPI for Sephora, a cery easy to find collection in which all the shades are almost always in stock. 

The newest collection from OPI for Sephora is called Bohemian Brights and is a bit different than many fo the collections that we have been seeing throughout the spring.  This collection is a series of bright polishes (but not neons) that will work from the end of the spring season and then into the summer months.  I am not a huge fan of bright polishes but I have been looking for a bright pink to add to my collection.  Which I do see in the overall picture for this collection so I looking forward to seeing this collection in person at a Sephora store.

"A stunning combination of relaxed neutrals and daring brights, each one makes the perfect companion to your spring wardrobe.  Inspired by vintage jewelry and free-spirited bohemian style, these hues are both statement-making and effortlessly chic - so you can unleash your free spirit."

Nail Colour - Fashion-forward, wearable nail colours for the modern woman who is looking for an effective, safe, environmentally conscious brand.  Sephora by OPI Nail Colour, a line of 54+ trend-setting shades, puts the final touch on fingertips and toes with a top-quality formula you have come to expect from OPI.  The long-lasting, chip-resistant polish ensures flawless results with each application, and its green ingredient list excludes DBP, toluene, and formaldehyde.  Sephora by OPI combines the quality and color expertise of OPI, the world leader in professional nail color, with Sephora's reputation for the latest in beauty and sophistication.
- Paisley Attention To Me - opaque tangerine orange
- What Aura Gonna Where? - opaque hot pink
- It's Totally Karma - opaque lime green
- Neutral Beauty - opaque honey tan
- I Only Shop Vintage - opaque metallic golden bronze
- Happy Earth Day To Me - opaque dark army brown
- White Hot - opaque white
- Bright As a Feather - opaque metallic light blue
- What's Your Sign - opaque metallic peach

Bohemian Brights Mini Nail Colour Set - A six-piece set of petite nail colors in spring's best brights and neutrals.  Bright, punchy hues groove with earthy chic shades in this stunning collection.  Each statement-making hue is as unique as the vintage jewelry a "bohemian-ista" wears so fashionably.  Adorn your fingers and toes with the long-wearing, chip-resistant formulas and take the travel-friendly sizes with you wherever you wander.
- Let's Hear It For The Free Spirit! - pink/orange shimmer
- What Aura You Gonna Wear? - bright pink
- It's Totally Karma - bright green
- Neutral Beauty - camel
- That's What Fringe Is For - brown shimmer
- Happy Earth Day To Me - olive

My favorite shade is the What Aura You Gonna Wear?, I love the bright pink hue and the fact that it has a cream finish.  This is the only shade that I really want from this collection, the neutrals are rather basic and the other brights aren't really my style.  Bright as a Feather is the only other shade that I like enough to purchase from this collection so I doubt that I will be buying all that much the next time that I visit this counter at Sephora. 

China Glaze...you are killing me at the moment!

OPI for Sephora Holiday 2011 Collection - Glimmer Wonderland

Everyone who has been reading this blog for the past few months knows that I have been obsessed with nail polish since the middle of the summer, nail polish was one o the few beauty items that I was never all that interested in until I discovered China Glaze from a friend's manicurist.  Ever since that happened, it is rare that I go two weeks without ordering or buying a few new shades of polish.  So far, we have looked at a bunch of holiday polish collections, all of which are focusing on glitter polishes in fun holiday shades.  The new OPI for Sephora collection, named Glimmer Wonderland, promises more of the same polish shades that we have been seeing all season. 

In the spirit of the holiday season, this collection is currently available in both single polishes and sets that are perfect for those on your gift list.  Personally, I am looking at the sets for myself if I find that I love a bunch of the shades in this collection.  "Inspired by all things bright and sparkly, Sephora by OPI's Glimmer Wonderland Collection captures the energy of the holiday season.  These shimmering, color-rich shades are like 'the instant glam you get from a sequin party dress or sparkly accessory you throw on to glam yourself up!' says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI VP and Artistic Director.  Add glimmer to your tips and toes with Be-Claus I Said So, a red glitter, or Naughty is the New Nice, a light blue metallic.  Even better, these festive shades are long-wearing, chip-resistant, and free of dibutyl phthalate (DBP), toluene, and formaldehyde."  The last thing that I could possibly need is more nail polish but I can't wait to check these shades out!

I thought that the sets were going to be the Christmas shades since they are all part of the Glimmer Wonderland collection, not sure why they would be labeled as part of this collection and not contain any holiday themed shades at all...  Anyway, I still love both the six and four piece sets and will be adding both of them to my nail polish wardrobe soon.  The single shades are very traditional holiday with what we have been seeing so far this season, lots and lots of glitter!  The shades that are clear with the color glitter will be skipped over, I already dismissed many of them with the traditional OPI holiday collection and I don't like them any better this time around.  Chest-Nuts About You is my favorite shades of the collection, it is great neutral basic with a bit of gold shimmer in to make it something special.  Stop Stocking Me and Countdown to the Kiss are my other choices from this collections, both are great deep shimmer hues that will work this whole holiday season and the rest of the winter months.

O.P.I for Sephora Fall 2011 Collection - Garden of Good and Evil

We have already seen Too Faced's Garden-inspired beauty collection to start this fall season off.  It seems like floral and garden-inspired hues are going to be big for the fall season since now O.P.I. for Sephora has released a nail polish collection that is based around these types of hues too.  Lately I have been in love with deep, jewel-toned shades and this collection is not going to disappoint me.  I have been done with summer brights for the past few weeks and have really been looking forward to purchasing some of these new deep, jewel-toned hues. 

"Inspired by the rich jewel-toned hues, exotic feather accessories, and cascading silk gowns featured on fall runways, Sephora by O.P.I. Garden of Good & Evil Collection is as high fashion and extravagent as the trends that inspired them.  Tempt yourself with What's Your Poison, a sparkling red, or Frankly I Don't Give A-Damn, a hyponotizing gray.  These sinful shades are sure to empower your inner mistress and adding an alluring mystery to your everyday look."  I just love this collection on first sight and I am so excited to get my hands on some of these polish shades, I will wear them all fall and well into the winter months!

Vice President & Artistic Director. 
- Completely Fernished - dark green
- Eve-y On The Eyes - opaque metallic grape
- Tempted by Teal - opaque metallic teal
- Frankly I Don't Give A-Dam - opaque light gray

I love this collection, the only aspect of it that puzzles me is that the Completely Fernished wasn't on the Sephora website as being available in the single bottles.  This is a shame because this is a lovely deep emerald.  My first purchase from this collection is the Garden of Good & Evil polish collection since I would buy Eve-y On The Eyes and Frankly I Don't Give A-Dam by themselves without hesitation.  I like the Tempted by Teal shade however it doesn't seem all that different from Mermaid To Order, except it is not a duochrome.  I love the deeper of the two teal shades, My Personal Serpent.  My Personal Serpent might be my favorite shade of the collection, I just love the deep teal shades.  I love the Designer Fig Leaf and What's Your Poision shades too.  This will be a great collection for the fall and I predict that this one will sell out quickly at Sephora.

O.P.I. for Sephora Summer 2011 Collection - Safari Luxe

Animal prints are right on trend this summer and this is one of the first major collections that I am seeing that embraces this trend.  I have seen lots of neutrals and bronzes this summer but so far, I haven't been seeing all out safari shades.  Until I saw this nail polish collection that is...  O.P.I. for Sephora has released a new collection for summer that is all safari hues and a group of animal print nail prints that stick right onto the nail.  I have been interested in these types of stick on products since I first saw some earlier this spring but I don't think that this type of product really works my style.  Maybe this collection will sway me...

"Inspired by animal-print fabrics, snakeskin pumps, and stacks of gold bracelets, Sephora by O.P.I.'s new Safari Luxe collection takes after one of the hottest trends to hit the runways: safari chic.  'We came up with a nail lacquer collection as stylish and fun as the trend itself,' says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, O.P.I. VP and Artistic Director.  'And just like a leopard-print scarf spices up an outfit, each summery shade adds instant edginess to your wardrobe.'"  We have six new nail polish shades and three of the stick-on prints to chose from in this collection.

First the new nail polish shades...

- Caught With My Khakis Down - opaque fatigue green
- Don't Feed The Hand Models - opaque pink beige
- A Color That Can't Be Tamed - opaque mint green with fine holographic glitter
- I Don't Bite - opaque soft purple with fine holographic glitter
- Wild About Shimmer - sheer champagne with medium gold glitter
- Once A Cheetah, Always A Cheetah - opaque orange with medium gold glitter

Chic Print - Safari Luxe - Animal print pre-cut nail patches for extraordinary nails, instantly!  This innovative line, brewed by Minx and loved by your favorite celebrities, creates customized nails, featuring fierce patterns and prints to satisfy your wildest mani-and-pedi dreams.  One set of Chic Prints contains 16 nail patches of varying widths, for a one time application to fingers or toes.  The nail patch is a solid-film material with an adhesive bed that is activated by friction, allowing the patch to fit over the compound curves of your nails and seal onto the nail bed.  The patent-pending material removes easily by rubbing and peeling off.
- Giraffe - giraffe print (brown spots on clear background)
- Leopard - leopard print (black spots on gold background)
- Zebra/Leopard - one half zebra print, the other half leopard print (black stripes/black spots on a white background)

I am much in doubt that I could pull off the Chic Prints, maybe I would be able to wear them one night out to match a black dress adn then take them off in the morning.  I guess that if I were to try them out, I would buy the Leopard print ones, the black and gold ones.  If the Zebra wasn't combined with Leopard, then I would love the Zebra but there is just too much going on for me to pull this pair off.  From the nail polish shades, I think that my favorite is I Don't Bite, the lilac with holographic shimmer.  We all know that I have been loving lilacs and purples this spring and this is another one to add to my collection.  I also really like Wild About Shimmer, I could use this by itself or as a topcoat to other shades.  Caught With My Khakis down is one of my favorite names of all time and since I like the color, this one ends up on my shopping list too.

O.P.I. for Sephora Spring 2011 Collection - Urban Ballerina

The O.P.I. for Sephora collection is one of my major downfalls every single time that I go shopping at that store. I walk all around and take about an hour to decide what I want to purchase and then I finally get in line with my items. Then, WHAM!! I am waiting in line and come face to face with the display of all the shades of polish and I end up playing with them while I wait. And the final outcome? I always end up buying one or two of them on top of everything else that I already have in my hands. From a marketing perspective, that is superior product placement in the store. They are the perfect impulse purchase, since they are under $10, they aren't so expensive that you get out of line and put items back but Sephora can add about $9 to almost every sale without doing anything additional.

This nail polish line has released a new shade collection for spring and it draws on inspiration from all the ballet trends that have been dominating the past few months. This collection contains six shades that are various shades of pinks, grays, cool beiges, and purples. All cool toned, there is nothing for you if these types of shades don't work for your skin.

The Sephora website states the following for the description of the new collection of shades. "A collection of long-wearing, chip-resistant nail polishes. Inspired by the eclectic style of an urban ballerina, this striking collection infuses a punk-rock edge with the typically soft, sweet (and pink) palette of classical ballet. The shades in the Urban Ballerina collection reflect the urban dancer's dynamic textures and colors, like shimmering pink satin, the steely gray of downtown buildings, and the neutral tones of a city landscape. Each shade is totally wearable, fashionable, and a must-have accessory!"

The new shades...

- Break A Leg-Warmer! - opaque charcoal gray

- Leotard Optional - opaque mocha beige

- Let's Pile - opaque metallic light beige

- Shiny Dancer - opaque slate with fine iridescent glitter

- The Way Tutu His Heart - opaque light pink

- Who's Spinning Tonight? - opaque metallic true grape

I like all six of the new shades and would have a very easy time working them into my nail polish collection. That being said, none of these shades are very unique and if I wasn't a fan of the formula of this polish then I wouldn't be all that interested in some of them. I think that I can safely skip Leotard Optional and Who's Spinning Tonight? without any type of heart break. My favorite shade in the collection is Shiny Dancer, both for the shade and the name of shade (Tiny Dancer is my favorite song in the whole world). I would also get a lot of wear from The Way Tutu His Heart and Let's Pile since they are both easy to wear pales. Break A Leg-Warmer! might be a better winter shade than a spring shade beinf that it is deep cream. If I see it in person and really like it than I might buy it and either use it on toes only for the next few months or put it away until October.

Much as I all the pinks, silvers, and purples, I have a feeling that the endless cool tones that are being offered this spring are not going to go over really well with entire population and soon we are going to see a ton of warm toned or bright shades...

O.P.I for Sephora Fall 2010 Collection - Rocker Chic

When I am in the checkout line at Sephora and I have to wait for more than two minutes, I get sucked into their display of nail polishes. Talk about marketing for impulse purchases! I end up looking at every color and before I know it, I'm next in line. I haven't really used this line as much I as I would like to, I only have one polish from this collection, Mermaid To Order from Summer 2009. I really like that polish and since the fall is fast upon us, I decided to take this time and look at their newest collection of shades.

"Sephora by O.P.I. Nail Colour, a line of 54+ trend-setting shades, puts the final touch on fingertips and toes with a top-quality formula you have come to expect from O.P.I. The long-lasting, chip-resistant polish ensures flawless results with each application, and its green ingredient list excludes DBP, toulene, and formaldehyde. Sephora by O.P.I. combines the quality and color expertise of O.P.I., the world leader in professional nail color with Sephora's reputation for the latest in beauty and sophistication".

The new collection is called Rocker Chic and consists of deep, edgy shades. "Inspired by the empowered, impassioned, and addictive sound of rock and rool, this tough and trendy collection puts an edgy twist on classic colors. Make a bold statement with Just a Little Dangerous purple or Fiercely Fabulous red, or go gritty glam with Club Scene Queen metallic blue and Already Famous glittering gray. Are your nails ready to rock?"

Here are the new shades...

- Just a Little Dangerous - opaque metallic amethyst

- Already Famous - sheer pewter with medium champagne and sliver glitter

- Fiercely Fabulous - opaque poppy red

- Go My Own Way - sheer muted teal blue with fine blue glitter

- Studs and Stilettos - opaque metallic mahogany

- Rock His World - opaque deep cranberry

- Club Queen Scene - sheer smoky gray with blue fine glitter

- Do I Know You? - opaque dusty rose beige

- Dating the Drummer - sheer warm walnut with fine holographic glitter

There are some fine shades in this collection! I think that my favorite is the Go My Own Way, I love the sheer teal shade. I also want to get Just a Little Dangerous since I have been reading that purple shades are going to be very big this season. Of the other shades, I like Fiercely Fabulous, Rock His World, and Club Queen Scene.
