Review: O.P.I The Bondettes Collection (Inspired by SKYFALL)

I went into the Smoochiezz stand at Tanjong Pagar not knowing which nailpolish I should get, but I know I will get some nailpolish! And sure enough, I tried hard to only choose one set, and I walked out with the O.P.I The Bondettes Collection (Inspired by SKYFALL) and also some other stuff, which you can read about on my haul post. 

This set is GORGEOUS. I love my reds, dark deep colours and glitters and this set has all of them. Precisely why I got the set in the first place! 

The set costs S$20! I think if you get it online (ASOS for example), it's much more expensive, so yay Smoochiezz! 

The colours didn't look nice when I took the photos using natural lighting! I have no idea why because I'm a noob photographer, but maybe because it's too cloudy?

Colours from left to right:

• GoldenEye 
• The Spy Who Loved Me
• The World Is Not Enough
• Live and Let Die

GoldenEye looks like your basic gold glitter nailpolish but ohnonono, it's a yellow-tinted base nailpolish with gold glitters and gold shimmers in it. The glitters and shimmers are extremely fine and when you apply it, you don't get chunky applications. It's very smooth and your nails look so festive! :D

The Spy Who Loved Me is a warm tone red with fine gold shimmer. It's like trying to go sensual and funky at the same time!

The World Is Not Enough is a sheer metallic grey with fine multi-colour shimmers. I'm quite disappointed with this nailpolish. When I say sheer, it's REALLY sheer. If the colour came true to what I saw from the bottle, then it's a perfect colour! But no, I had to layer 3 coats to get like 75% of the pigmentation. :(

Live and Let Die is what I have on my nails right now. As always, I will turn to the dark colours first! Live and Let Die is a dark navy with fine glitter shimmers. It's really quite gorgeous because when the colour catches the sunlight, it turns into this glorious multi-dimensional colour. LOVE IT.

All 4 swatched on my fingernails. Sorry for this bad photo quality. :(

Anyway, look at The World Is Not Enough (2nd from right), this intensity was only achieved after 3 coats. I'm beyond depressed because the colour is so gorgeous but it's not showing up right!!

Can't wait to change to GoldenEye next week!! :)

Have a great day everyone! For those with exams, MUG ON!!

Smoochiezz Haul (April 2013) - e.l.f Studio cosmetics, Leaders Insolution masks, O.P.I nailpolishes

While walking back to Tanjong Pagar MRT from a job interview (which was a success, HOORAH! No more job-hunting!! They also read this blog, so HELLO!!), I realised I was in Tanjong Pagar Xchange! I can buy cheeky makeup stuff from Smoochiezz! It was the best walk-to-an-MRT-station ever because I wanted to spend some moolah!! 

I got myself quite a few random things, which totalled to S$39. Not too bad. Not too bad! I controlled myself very very well because initially I wanted to get the NYX Nude on Nude Palette, but I decided to save up for the LORAC palette instead. VERY GOOD. 

Beauty items:

• e.l.f studio Eyebrow Kit in medium (amazing stuff, review coming up soon!) - S$7
• e.l.f Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder in Sun Kissed (this is a repurchase! I used up my last one COMPLETELY. Love this product so very much) - S$4

Skincare items:

• Leaders Insolution Teatree Relaxing Skin Renewal Mask (1 for S$3, 2 for S$5)
• Beauty Clinic AC-Dressing Ampoule Mask (1 for S$3, 2 for S$5)

Nail items:

• O.P.I The Blondettes Collection (or The Skyfall collection) - S$20
• mini Seche-Vite topcoat (I misplaced my other one booooo) - S$3

Overall, I'm pleased with my haul. Tried everything out (except the masks) and so far so AMAZING! :) Smoochiezz really earning a lot from me. HAHAHA. Thank goodness the company is moving to another location soon, but I may need to rethink the "thank goodness" part because apparently the new location is only a 3-minute walk away. So, expect to earn more from me, Smoochiezz!! :D

Favourite copper nailpolish: O.P.I Warm and Fozzie from The Muppets collection

I have officially found the best and prettiest metallic copper nailpolish, and it's from O.P.I's The Muppets Collection! :) 

Rainbow Connection reminds me of the Deborah Lippmann nailpolish that created a huge frenzy in the beauty world huh? I think it's called "Happy Birthday"? So here's an cheaper alternative for those who want multiple chunly colourful glitters on a nail. I think to a nailpolish addict, these kinds of nail-polishes are like ecstasy on tap. 

ANYWAY, I was about to talk about Warm and Fozzie! Got carried away there. hehe. 

The entire The Muppets line from O.P.I. I'm gravitating towards the glittery options. Look at that crazy cyan blue gone wild. !!!!!!. 

Warm and Fozzie is definitely a glitter nailpolish, however it will also appeal to those who hate chunky glitters. The glitter particles in Warm and Fozzie are very very fine. More like powdered disco ball. The more interesting thing is that it does not only have one type of glitter, but many! Under different lighting, I spot green and pink glitters too! SHO PRETTY!! :) 

Definitely my favourite nailpolish at the moment! 

PHOTOS PHOTOS PHOTOS!

And as with all glitter nailpolish, this was A BITCH to remove. HAHA. Oh well ~~~

Nailcolour of the week: O.P.I I Don't Give A Rotterdam

Such a pretty muted sky blue-greyish colour. It has pale pink and silver finer glitters too! My nails become especially multi-dimensional under sunlight!

O.P.I Nail Polish Haul

Guess where I bought these nail polishes? 

... IN THE FREAKING OFFICE!! 

An email came in informing us that there was going to be a nailpolish sale, but I didn't read it properly and thought it was a promotion for the employees at some flea market, and so I deleted the email. 

AND THEN, I went to the pantry to get some M&Ms, and I saw the entire Meeting Room 6 in the process of being turned into a nailpolish showroom. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!

OBS by Oo-ri International Pte Ltd came to our office for a special 3-hour nailpolish sale!! :D
