OPI DS Extravagance & MaxFactor Fantasy Fire

I thought I would be posting pics of my June/July Haul today but the shipping company stuffed up and put my old address on the package and now I can't pick it up until 5pm! I am really bored as I planned on spending the day playing with my new pretties so instead I decided to swatch Maxfactor Fantasy Fire that has been sitting in my untrieds pile for months, the first set of pics is two coats of OPI DS Extravagance on its own, the second set is after I added two coats of Fantasy Fire it has added a great red/gold flash effect I like this combo but next time I use Fantasy Fire I think i'll swatch it over another a blue or purple so you can see its purple base color better.

OPI Suede - We'll Always Have Paris & Lincoln Park After Dark

I was lucky enough to get some of the OPI Suede Collection in my last haul after I had spent months searching for them, I wore Russian Navy Suede to work a few weeks ago I didn't get a chance to take pics of it but I absolutely loved it!

Today I have swatches for you of We'll Always Have Paris Suede & Lincoln Park After Dark Suede I love matte polishes and the formula of both polishes was great but as far as the colors go I have prettier Man Glaze, Zoya & Nicole By OPI Matte pink and purple matte polishes in my stash so OPI Russian Navy and OPI Ink Suede are definitely my favorites from this collection I will have to try and swatch them both soon.

Smurfs Mani

Today I have another post for you about Nail Art Water Decals from Born Pretty Store, The Smurfs decals were a little bit trickier to apply than the snoopy decals that I posted about yesterday the decals were slightly thinner and were harder to reposition on the nail and sometimes crinkled up a little so I had to do a couple of my nails twice, I tried to find the smurfiest color in my stash to do this mani and decided that OPI Fly from the Nicki Minaj Collection is the closest color I have to a smurf blue, I hope you love this mani as much as I do!

OPI Ink

I have been on a bit of a mission the last couple of months to find the perfect blue based purple nail polish and I think I have found a really great contender.

I love OPI Ink I think it is almost the perfect purple for me, I still have a lot more purple polishes in my huge untrieds pile but I am really happy to find such a great color, I have came across a lot of purple polishes that did not live up to my expectations so I am really happy to add OPI Ink to my favorites pile.

OPI Nicki Minaj Collection Mini Set

I have been so excited about the OPI Nicki Minaj Collection since I found about it last year I decided to get the Mini Set rather than full size bottles of the collections as I love mini bottles and the set included all my favorite colors.

I normally do a Pink Wednesday Post every Wednesday but decided this week it was ok to post the Nicki Minaj Collection as Pink Friday is included in the set.

Overall it was great set I would recommend it to all OPI & Nicki Minaj fans, my favorite color is Fly it so gorgeous it is now my favorite blue creme, Pink Friday is the girliest pink I have ever worn I would call it a barbie pink but all you nicki fans know her nick name is barbie so it makes sense.

Did it On Em reminds me a lot of OPI Who The Shrek Are You? I'm not sure if they are exact dupes, I decided to only swatch Save Me over the other three colors as I think it looks better layered, It was really hard to try and take pics with the mini bottles so I had to use the OPI Top Coat bottle instead.

What do you think of the collection? is anyone else a huge Nicki Minaj fan?
