Nice Stems!

Last time as I was at Ulta I picked up a pack of OPI's Nice Stems Minis. I like to do this when I'm not sure on any of the colors. In this case, I'm glad I did, because in the end I didn't really enjoy of any of these colors on my nails. They are all great colors, but I just don't have to have full sizes.

This set includes:

 'Play the Peonies'. This is a soft white/pink with a opalescent finish. It is kind of streaky, but any color like this that I've ever tried has been a streaky, and this really wasn't that bad. I used 3 coats.

'Come to Poppy' a soft coral pink. This had a beautiful application. I used two coats.

'Be a dahlia won't you?' is a vibrant fuschia pink! It contains pink micro glitters. It reminds me of CG's 108 degrees from their summer collection. This had a beautiful application. I used two coats

Lastly there is 'I lily love you'. This is a pink jelly topcoat containing rainbow flakies and glitters. This is sheer and is definitely meant to be a topcoat. I used one coat on each look

'Play the peonies'

'I lily love you'  over 'Play the Peonies'

'Come to Poppy'

'I lily love you' over 'Come to Poppy'

'Be a dahlia won't you?'

I messed up my pointer lol

'I lily love you' over ' Be a dahlia won't you?'

Thanks for reading!! I know the pics aren't the best but, I'm getting my new camera soon! ack!! soo bad :D
BTW these were based with Nail Life and topped with Seche Vite

Polish Haul & an Awesome ULTA deal!

 Yesterday I had to go up to a bigger town than mine to pick up my Macbook from Best Buy.. and of course right down the street is Sephora/Ulta/Sally's :D

I had been hunting the new China Glaze Metallic Glaze Crackle collection. Ulta didn't have it so I figured no one else would, but Sally's did! Mwah!! So in love!!

Ulta has an AWESOME deal going on. Spend $17 on any OPI product and get a free fullsize polish from their Shimmer into Summer Collection!! I chose 'I'm an Aqua-holic'.

While at Ulta, I found they have a ton of clearance, I picked up three of the OPI Shrek Collection. I also picked up Nice Stems minis and Serena Williams Grand Slam England Edition in Grape..Set..Match!

We hit up Marshall's after Ulta and I found some sweet Mood polishes and Nicole by OPI Matte's!

Okay, enough chit chat.. on to the pics!

Left to Right: 'Platinum Pieces', 'Latticed Lilac', 'Cracked Medallion'
'Haute Metal', 'Tarnished Gold', and 'Oxidized Aqua'(My fave name :D)

A closer shot..
'Platinum Pieces' and 'Oxidized Aqua' have different labels. I wonder if they are changing them.

Originally $8.50, I got them for $4.99 each.

'Rumples Wiggin', 'Fiercely Fiona', and 'Funky Dunky'

I love this color!

'Play the Peonies', 'Come to Poppy', Be a Dahl-ia Won't you?', and 'I lily love you'

I love these mini's because I really didn't know if I liked any enough
to buy full sizes and this way I can wear them and then decide!

 

These don't have names

We have a light teal to light blue combo
A light lavender to dark purple combo
A light pink to dark pink combo
and finally a light blue to dark blue combo

I think these are so pretty! i can't wait to swatch them all! Thanks for reading and have a good day!
