OPI - Designer... De Better (Muppet Collection Holiday 2011)

I'm so loooving this collection! This is OPI's Designer... De Better from the Muppets Holiday Collection. I feel like this one is a good Fall colour too as metallics are great for Fall. This is the second polish from the collection that I'm swatching. 

It's a foil polish, thats mainly silver with bronze speckles. At first glance I thought this was a rose gold colour, but looking closer it is silver/bronze.

This is one of my favourites from this collection. This collection should be hitting salons fairly soon. In Canada these are about $9-$10 CAD and in the states it a little less. OPI can be found in London Drugs, Chatters, and salons. In the states it can be found at Trade Secret, Target, and salons. 

Revlon - Carbonite (Finally arrived in Canada!)

So I know Revlon's Carbonite has been around for you American girls for a little while now. But here in Canada we finally got some displays with it. I looked forever for this over a month ago, and looked with no avail, and pretty much just moved on. I really didn't think it was worth ordering from eBay since I do have Chanel's Graphite, which is suppose to be a close match (I'll talk more about that in a comparison post).  I finally found it, it was on a display with The Expressionist Collection (link here to read more about that collection).

I would describe Carbonite has a pewter/gun metal type of colour. It's very grey with a hint of greenish gold to it.  It's a foil finish to it and has a ton of depth. Super great colour for Fall, and also a great neutral. One issue I had with it was it seemed thick and didn't just "slide" on like Chanel's Graphite did. You can sorta see how almost clumpy it looks. I used two coats and one coat of Seche Vite top coat. I've seen displays with Carbonite, literally in every grocery store and drug store this week. Mine is from Zellers and was $4.99 CAD.  London Drugs and SuperStore both had the from $5.99 CAD.

OPI Serena Glam Slam - Your Royal Shine-ness

So these lovelies have been sitting untried in my apartment for quite sometime now. OPI came out with a bunch of different Serena Williams sets this past summer. I have two or three of them. But this one I think I like the most because it skipped the shatter. The set comes with Your Royal Shine-ness and Servin' Up Sparkle. 

This is Your Royal Shine-ness by itself. It's two coats to get a nice opacity and one coat of Seche Vite top coat. I'm loooving this colour. It's a foil finish thats silver with a slight touch of gold to it. It's suuuper blingy on your nails. 

I really really enjoy this colour, I think metallics are great for Fall. I was a little scared it would be a lot like the other silver polishes I have, but there is something a little different to it :) I believe I paid about $16 CAD for this at a hair salon, it's been months so I can't quite remember. I do know it's still available on e-tailers if your having a hard time finding it locally. I wanted to wear this alone cause it's gorgeous, in my next post I'll show you it with Servin' Up Sparkle over it.

Thanks for reading :) Please follow!

She sells sea shells by the sea shore! Orly - Sea Gurl (Birds of a Feather Collection 2011)

Orly's newest collection Birds of a Feather has a few great polishes, I already posted the hit Fowl Play (see here). This is Sea Gurl and in Orly press release for Birds of a Feather they describe it simply as "grey shimmer." It's a dark grey with tons of silvery micro-shimmer. You can see the bottle has veins of shimmer. It has a touch of gold to it, which makes it look kinda antiqued. 

This was two coats and they both went on very smoothly. Isn't it stunning!? It's a great neutral to wear everyday but it's not boring at all. Love it! I'm thinking this would look amazing with a LBD?

So far Fowl Play and Sea Gurl are the two I have from the collection. They seem to be the most unique, so I went with them to try. I bought mine from an e-tailer for $9.50 CND and shipping was free because I spent over a certain amount. I'm pretty excited for Fall, loads of great colours being released!
