OPI Charmmy & Sugar

OPI Charmmy & Sugar

2 coats

from the Hello Kitty by OPI Collection

Charmmy & Sugar has an iridescent pink base, and contains glitter in several shades- blue, hot pink, light pink, silver, and gold. It's stunning, but a bit hard to photograph. It actually wore well for me, unlike other glitters similar to this that tend to chip on me.

Sephora Formula X Aphrodite

 Sephora Formula X Aphrodite

2 coats

from the Divine Stardust collection ($12.50 each)

From Sephora.com: Bring a celestial sheen to your manicure with Divine Stardust. Named after Greek goddesses, these shades feature a selection of soft pastel hues that are infused with fine, holographic glitter to create an iridescent effect under direct light. Each glittering shade coats nails with a sleek, smooth finish. 

Aphrodite is described as violet holographic glitter, and it's just gorgeous! After the first coat I was concerned about coverage because it was quite sheer, but surprisingly a second coat gave me opaque coverage. It's absolutely gorgeous in the sun!

OPI 5 Apples Tall

OPI 5 Apples Tall

from the Hello Kitty by OPI Collection

I am a long time Hello Kitty fan, as a child of the 70s, so I knew I had to pick up at least a few shades from this adorable collection. I have fond memories of traveling to the big mall, about an hour away from our house, to spend my allowance on lots of HK stuff at a cute store called OK Meow that sold only Sanrio products. I could spend forever in there!

5 Apples Tall is a apple red creme with great pigmentation. One coat gave almost perfect coverage, but I added a second to make sure to have a perfect mani. This polish is named for Hello Kitty's height, which is just 5 apples tall. So cute!

The HK wrap on the handle is a plastic overlay, which is a bit disappointing, but still darling.

China Glaze Don't Get Elfed Up

China Glaze Don't Get Elfed Up

2 coats

from the Cheers! Collection for Holiday 2015 

Don't Get Elfed Up is a gorgeous emerald and blue shimmer that has a pinkish purple color shift you can sometimes can in certain light. Super-hard to photograph that though! You can see a bit of the purple at the bottom of the bottle in the pic above. This was absolutely perfect in 2 coats and pretty darn unique. I love it!
