Ulta OPI Holiday Mini sets 2006-2012

As I was putting my 2012 Ulta OPI holiday mini set away with my others, I realized I have all the sets from 2006 thru 2012. Did they do sets before 2006? I will have to visit Mr. Google and check.

On Black Friday I picked up the Ulta Exclusive OPI Holiday Mini set (as I always do!). I need to take some pics and document all the sets I have.... I have them going back quite a few years.

(Last Minute Shopper, Skip the Gift Wrap, and Gift Cards for Everyone!)

In person Last Minute Shopper leans so much more pink than red on me..... Application was nice and even at 2 coats. I've seen other bloggers say they needed 3-4 coats for full opacity, but mine was fine at 2.

Did you pick up the Ulta Exclusive OPI Holiday Mini set this year? I got it for $7.50!

NOTD: Nicole by OPI All Reindeer Go to Heaven topped with Extra Snowflakes Please

Last month I picked up the Nicole by OPI Merry Must Have Minis at Target for about $10, and I am absolutely loving this set. It contains four shades: All Reindeer Go To Heaven, Extra Snowflakes Please, Miss Claus' Night Out, and How Rude-olph!

I was excited to see that Extra Snowflakes Please is a dupe for my beloved Cover Girl City Lights.

and look at those gorgeous multi-colored glitters in low light with a flash!

Hope you have had a happy holiday season!

NOTD: OPI Amethyst Twist

OPI Amethyst Twist

This shade is from the Ulta Tiny Tinsels set from Holiday 2009. Isn't that gorgeous?

I'm laughing about the tiny bottle in my hand, thinking about the Cafe Disco episode of The Office where Michael is serving espresso in those tiny cups and saying "Oh, look at my giant hand and this regular-sized coffee cup...." Too funny!

NOTD: OPI Berry Brilliant

OPI Berry Brilliant

This is one the shades in last year's holiday mini set, and I really like it! It's actually a bit deeper color in person, more wine-like, but really really pretty.

OPI Season's Sparklings!

OPI Pretty Plum-tuous (2 coats)

OPI Season's Sparklings! (1 coat)

both from the Ulta OPI Season's Sparklings! Christmas Mini

Mr. Sasha just came in and saw my nails and said, "Whoa, whatcha got going on there? That's....... different!"

What do men know? I actually like it. Not sure I'd wear it all the time, but it's the holidays, and time to be "sparkly".
