OPI - I Brake For Manicures

I Brake For Manicures face parte din colectia OPI - Touring America din toamna lui 2011.

I Brake For Manicures is part of the OPI - Touring America Collection from the Fall of 2011.

Culoarea este dificil de descris si de fotografiat, probabil cel mai bine descrisa ca pruna, cu inflexiuni gri, dar in lumina artificiala poate parea chiar maro. Desi este o nuanta inchisa, nu pare niciodata neagra. Textura este crema si daca aveti putina grja la aplicare poate fi opaca dintr-un singur strat. Trebuie sa reunosc ca nu am fost prea incantata de culoarea din sticluta dar pe unghii parca prinde viata! Se usuca repede, rezista cateva zile fara probleme si e perfecta pentru tomana.

The color is quite difficult to describe and photograph, but it seems to be a deep plum with dusky inflections, but in artificial light it can even seem brown. Although it's a dark shade, it never looks black. Texture wise it's a creme and if you're a little careful when applying, it can be opaque in one coat. I must admit i wasn't all that excited when i saw the bottle, but on the nails it comes alive! It dries pretty fast, no chipping for a few days and it's perfect for autumn.

OPI - What's With The Cattitude?

What's with the Cattitude? face parte din colectia OPI - Shrek Forver After si e cel mai frumos bleu pe care l-am vazut!

What's with the Cattitude? is part of OPI's - Shrek Forever After collection and it's the prettiest baby blue i've ever seen!

Cum am spus, oja este un albastru pastel superb, ce imi aminteste de cerul unei zile insorite de vara. Tinand cont ca este inspirata de Puss in Boots m-as fi asteptat sa fie un portocaliu dar cum nici capcaunii din film nu sunt albastrii iar Ogre-The-Top Blue e, se pare ca cei de la OPI si-au luat anumite licente artistice cand au creat colectia. Formula nu e chiar excelenta dar decenta pentru o nuanta pastel: 2 straturi subtiri si un al treilea mai gros ar trebui sa va ofere o acoperire perfecta. Nu se usuca foarte repede dar nuanta merita! Eu pur si simplu o ador!

Like i said, it's a gorgeous light blue that reminds me of the sky on a clear summer day. considering it's inspired by Puss In Boots i would've expected it to be an orange but just like ogres aren't blue and Ogre-The-Top Blue is, it seems OPI took some artistic freedoms  in creating this collection. The formula isn't the best but pretty decent for a pastel: 2 thin coats and a thicker third one should give you perfect coverage. The drying time isn't very fast but this shade is definitely worth it! I just love it!

OPI - My Boyfriend Scales Walls

My Boyfriend Scales Walls face parte din colectia The Amazing Spiderman, lansata de OPI in vara lui 2012.

My Boyfriend Scales Walls is part of The Amazing Spiderman collection, released by OPI in the summer of 2012.

La baza, pare a fi o simpla oja alba dar la o privire mai atenta putem observa ca are o usoara tenta de gri. Asta o face sa fie si o baza buna pentru nail art sau pentru o oja neon dar poate fi purtata si simpla, pentru un look chic si curat. Este perfect opaca in doua straturi si se usuca destul de repede.

At first glance it seems to be a basic white creme but on a closer look we can see it has a slight grey tint to it. This makes it a great base for nail art or for a neon polish but it can also be worn by itself, for clean, chic look. It's opaque in two coats and dries pretty fast.

OPI - Rumple's Wiggin

Rumple's Wiggin face parte din colectia Shrek Forever After din 2010. Nuantele pale nu sunt exact pe gustul meu dar daca vreti "dulce" si feminin, poate fi o alegere buna.

Rumple's Wiggin is part of the Shrek Forever After from 2010. I'm not extremly fond of pale shades but if you're in the mood for something "sweet" and girly, it can be a good choice.

Este o lavanda foarte deschisa, crema, dar cu o formula dificila. Sunt necesare trei straturi pentru o acoperire buna si fiind un pic groasa, raman urme de pensula daca nu se lasa destul timp intre straturi.Clar, nu este una dintre preferatele mele, mai ales ca in realitate este mult mai deschisa decat in majoritatea swatch-urile de pe net.

It's a very pale lavender creme,with a difficult formula. It takes three coats for good coverage and being a little thick, makes it leave brush strokes if you don't give it enough time to dry between coats. Obviously, it's not one of my favorites, especially because in reality it's a lot paler then in the majority of the swatches you can find online.

OPI - Did It On'em

Did It On 'em face parte din colectia Nicki Minaj din primavara lui 2012 si este prima oja OPI pe care am cumparat-o!

Did It On 'em is part of the Nicki Minaj Collection from the Spring of 2012 and it's also the first OPI nail polish i ever bought!

Nuanta exacta este dificil de descris dar poate fi considerat un verd lime cu tenta galbuie sau mai curand ca chartreuse. Este la jumatatea drumului dintre Who The Shrek Are You si Fiercely Fiona din colecatia Shrek la OPI. Acopera cel mai bine dintr-un prim strat subtire si un al doilea mai gros. Imi place la nebunie dar as fi fost ca adevarat perfcta daca ar fi fost putin mai intensa!

It's difficult to describe the exact shade of the polish but you can think of it as a lime green that leans more yellow, or better yet as a charteuse. It's exactly between Who The Shrek Are You and Fiercely Fion for Opi's Shrek Collection. You get the best coverage from a thin first coat and a thicker second one. I really love it but it would've been absolutely perfect if it were a little brighter!

OPI - Solitaire

Desi la inceput am fost circumspecta in privinta ojelor texturate, Stay the night din colectia Mariah Carey m-a cucerit de la prima aplicare si mi-a schimbat total conceptiile. Tocmai de acea am fost extrem de entuziasmata cand OPI a lansat in aceasta vara colectia Bond Girls Liquid Sand. Doua nuante mi-au atras cu adevarat atentia si azi am pentru voi minunata Solitaire!

Although at first i was circumspect about textured nail polishes, Stay the night from the Mariah Carey Collection won me from the first try and completely changed my opinion. That's why i was extremely excited when OPI released this summer the Bond Girls Liquid Sand Collection. Two shades got my attention and today i have for you the wonderful Solitaire!

Solitaire este un alb perlat cu particule mici si rotunde de sclipici argintiu, ce se usuca in textura nisipie folosia de cei de la OPI. Imi aminteste de stralucirea zapezii intr-o zi luminoasa de iarna, si abia astept prima zapada ca sa o port din nou. Formula este destul de buna, se aplica egal si se usuca rapid. Singura problema pe care eu o am, si pe care am intalnit-o la toate ojele texturate, este ca pensula se ingroasa cu lac si asta poate face aplicarea un pic dificila pe unghiile scurte.

Solitaire is shimmery white and has small, round, silver glitter particles, and dries with the gritty sand texture used by OPI. It reminds me of glistening snow on a bright winter day, and i can hardly wait for the first snow to wear it again. The formula is quite good, it goes on evenly and it dries fast. The only problem i have, and that i have encountered with all textured nail lacquers, is that the brush thickens from all the particles in the polish and can make applying it a little difficult on short nails.

OPI - San Francisco Collection, Fall/Winter 2013

Sunt o mare fana a ojelor Opi iar colectiile lor de tomana mi se par intotdeauna cele mai reusite.

I'm a huge fan of Opi nail polishes and i love their fall collections best.

Anul acesta Suzi Weiss-Fischmann a folosit ca sursa de inspiratie San Francisco iar rezultatul este o colectie de 15 nuante ce te poarta prin cele mai emblematice locuri din oras. Paleta de cuori folosita variaza de la nuante intense de rosu rubiniu, maro si burgund, la griuri metalice si albastruri marine. Avem si 3 noi oje cu formula Liquid Sand. Swatch-uri cu intreaga colectie puteti gasi pe blogul Polish Infatuated.

This year Suzi Weiss-Fischmann used as inspiration San Francisco and the result is a 15 shades collection that carries you through the most iconic places in the city. The palette ranges from intense hues of ruby red, brown and burgundy, to metallic grays and marine blues. We also get 3 new Liquid Sand polishes. You can find swatches of the entire collection on Polish Infatuated.

Preferatele mele sunt Peace & Love & Opi, In The Cable Car-Pool Lane, Haven't The Foggiest si mai ales Alcatraz...Rocks, dar nu garantez ca ma voi putea opri doar la acestea... :-) Data oficiala de lansare a colectiei este 7 August 2013.

My favourites are Peace & Love & Opi, In The Cable Car-Pool Lane, Haven't The Fogiest and above all Alcatraz...Rocks, but i can't guarantee i'll be able to stop myself from buying more... :-) The official release dat of the collectin is August 7th 2013.

OPI - Eurso Euro

Probabil cea mai intalnita culoare in colectia mea de oje este albastrul, iar Eurso Euro din colectia OPI - Euro Central din primavara lui 2013 este pur si simplu superb!

I think the majority of my nail polishes are blue and Eurso Euro from OPI - Euro Central Collection, Spring 2013 is a gorgeous one!

Eurso Euro este o crema si acopera perfect din doua straturi. Este mai degraba un albastru mediu, cu tenta indigo, si nu unul royal precum Dating a Royal. Finishul este extrem de lucios chiar si fara top coat, si cu totul surprinzator pentru un albastru, nu pateaza deloc unghiile.

Euro euro is  cream that gives perfect coverage in just two coats. It's more of a medium blue that leans more towards indigo, and not a true royal blue like Dating a Royal. The finish is very shiny even without a top coat and extremely surprising for a blue, it doesn't stain the nails.

OPI - Ski Teal We Drop

Ski Teal We Drop face parte din colectia Opi - Swiss din tomana anului 2010. Din fericire, cei dei la Opi au inclusa aceasta superba nuanta turcoaz inchis si in colectia lor permanenta. 

Ski Teal We Drop is part of the Opi - Swiss collection from the Fall of 2010. Fortunately, Opi included this gorgeous dark teal polish in their permanent colection.

Ca si formula oja este o crema ce devine opaca din doua straturi subtiri. Nu pateaza unghiile desi eu folosesc intotdeauna o baza pentru a proteja cat mai mult unghiile. Este extrem de lucioasa si fara top coat dar utilizarea unuia creste rezistenta ojei pe unghii. Timpul de uscare este unul mediu, ca in majoritatea ojelor de la Opi.

Formula wise, it is a creme nail polish that gives full coverage in two thin coats. It doesnt stain the nail, although i always use a base coat to protect my nails as much as possible. It's extremely shiny even without a top coat but the use of one increases the resistance on the nails. The drying time is medium, like in majority of Opi nail polishes.
