NOTD: Sephora by OPI Bibbidi, Bobbidi, Pink! and Collection Wrap-up

Sephora by OPI Bibbidi, Bobbidi, Pink! (2 coats)

over Sephora by OPI So Totally Enchanted (2 coats)

Oh my gosh, I FINISHED swatching the Cinderella minis! I am so glad to have that done- I have lots of new pretties but felt like I couldn't wear them until I made it through this set! (I'm a bit OCD about projects once they are started.)

As I said with Rags to Rhinestones, I find glitters that are in clear bases wear better on me when I layer them over a solid color.  Since I already had on So Totally Enchanted (silver) I decided to try Bibbidi, Bobbidi, Pink! over it and I think the combo was OK, not my fave, but I didn't *dislike* it.

Unlike So Totally Enchanted, Bibbidi, Bobbidi, Pink! was very textured. And also hard to remove. I should have used the foil or Reesa method, but I just used my scrubby tub and, well, scrubbed.

I thought I'd go ahead and do a collection wrap-up in this post.

The A Brush With Fate Nail Polish Set was part of Sephora's Disney Cinderella Collection in Fall 2012 and retailed for $24.50 for 6 mini bottles.

Overall, I really like this collection, but the shade descriptions are really not at all correct. They've labeled every shade as "glittery" even though only 3 shades have glitter in them. The others are more of a foil. I'm also unclear on where they got "purple" because there is absolutely no purple in Step Off, Sister!

See the turquoise and pink shimmers in this macro shot? Gorgeous!

Although pretty, this shade has frustrated me so much! This is the fourth time I have worn it an attempt to swatch it. The lack of sun gave me fits one day, and then I had several problems that probably had to do with painting too fast and my basecoat being old. Foils are finicky! But this time I got it! :-)

It looks like this set is out of stock, but here's a list of the shades included:

note: they really need to work on their descriptions.... not all are glittery, some are foils!

- So Totally Enchanted (glittery silver) 
- Step Off, Sister! (glittery purple) 
- Blue My Curfew (glittery royal blue) 
- Bibbidi, Bobbidi, Pink! (glittery pink) 
- Self-Maid Millionaire (glittery gold) 
- Rags to Rhinestones (glittery bronze)

Both of these shades are from the A Brush With Fate Nail Polish Set that was part of Sephora's Disney Cinderella Collection in Fall 2012.

I have found that if I layer glitter polish over a solid color, it will last much longer on me. A clear with glitter usually chips on the first day, but I am working on Day 4 of this combo and it still looks great!

 

This is a great glitter because it is not  textured at all! It's absolutely smooth, and with just one coat of NYC Grand Central Station, it is smooth as glass.

Scrangie has swatches of Rags to Rhinestones on it's own and it's pretty, but I like it this way better.

I just snapped this with my iphone here in my indoor office to give you a better idea of what it looks like in most light. In sun, the gold glitter really stands out and almost looks like a different color, but indoors, it blends together so nicely and is just a gorgeous glitterly gold- the base color and the glitter are almost the same shade. I love this combo!

It looks like this set is out of stock, but here's a list of the shades included:

- So Totally Enchanted (glittery silver)

My Blue My Curfew mani still looked good, so I decided to add a shade from the A Brush With Fate Nail Polish Set that was part of Sephora's Disney Cinderella Collection as a topper. I thought Step Off, Sister! would look great.

I added 1 coat of it and found it covered well and evenly. I topped it with one coat of NYC Grand Central Station and it was actually quite smooth- not gritty at all.

Scrangie showed Step Off, Sister! by itself and I think that looks great too. Scrangie also pointed out something I found interesting too- Sephora referred to this shade as "glittery purple" and there's not a bit of purple in it! 

It looks like this set is out of stock, but here's a list of the shades included:

- So Totally Enchanted (glittery silver) 
- Step Off, Sister! (glittery purple) 
- Blue My Curfew (glittery royal blue) 
- Bibbidi, Bobbidi, Pink! (glittery pink) 
- Self-Maid Millionaire (glittery gold) 
- Rags to Rhinestones (glittery bronze)

Here's another shade from the A Brush With Fate Nail Polish Set that was part of Sephora's Disney Cinderella Collection. Of course, the last few months have been crazy busy with the holidays so I am just now getting around to trying them out.

I used 2 coats and found it covered well and evenly. I topped it with one coat of NYC Grand Central Station.

But what I loved most about this shade was the purple that flashed in the sun. At first glance all I saw was a blue shimmer base with turquoise and silver blue crushed flake glitter. But in the sun- purple pops out! So so pretty!

It looks like this set is out of stock, but here's a list of the shades included:

- So Totally Enchanted (glittery silver) 
- Step Off, Sister! (glittery purple) 
- Blue My Curfew (glittery royal blue) 
- Bibbidi, Bobbidi, Pink! (glittery pink) 
- Self-Maid Millionaire (glittery gold) 
- Rags to Rhinestones (glittery bronze)

A few months ago I purchased the A Brush With Fate Nail Polish Set that was part of Sephora's Disney Cinderella Collection. Of course, the last few months have been crazy busy with the holidays so I am just now getting around to trying them out.

I have to say I am pretty impressed with this shade- the pic above is on DAY 5! I honestly think I could have worn it for a few more days before seeing any major tip wear or chipping, but my ADD kicked in and I  had to do a new mani.

I used 2 coats and found it covered well and evenly. I topped it with one coat of NYC Grand Central Station.

It looks like this set is out of stock, but here's a list of the shades included:

- So Totally Enchanted (glittery silver) 
- Step Off, Sister! (glittery purple) 
- Blue My Curfew (glittery royal blue) 
- Bibbidi, Bobbidi, Pink! (glittery pink) 
- Self-Maid Millionaire (glittery gold) 
- Rags to Rhinestones (glittery bronze)
