September 4, 2013 by Kathryn 149 Comments

Part of fall fashion for me is discovering trendy new nail colours and OPI has some great options available for women looking to update their look with a new polish. From two new Designer Series nail lacquers to the limited edition Pink of Hearts polish duo, there’s sure to be something for you from OPI this fall!

I received the new OPI DS polishes and Pink of Hearts set to review recently and I could hardly decide which shade to try first. The new Designer Series shades were gorgeous DS Raw Granite colours inspired by granite stone. DS Pewter is a grey and silver sparkling shade that would look great with almost any outfit. DS Lapis is a bold sparkling blue. Both colours feature a textured finish similar to the popular OPI Liquid Sand finish that is so incredibly popular.

Light Up Your Summer with the Nicole by OPI Notorious Neons Mini Set-Giveaway

July 7, 2013 by Kathryn 152 Comments

I love summer fashion because it lets me add light, bright colour choices to my wardrobe. Nicole by OPI prides itself on always offering the latest and trendiest nail lacquers for every season and this year is no exception! The new Notorious Neons Mini Nail Lacquer Kit is bright, vibrant and tons of fun, perfect for showing off that summer tan. I couldn’t wait to test it out and see how it looked.

The secret to bright neon nails is a white polish underneath the neon shade, so the kit included the white undercoat and three neon polishes to layer on top. I decided to try the Neon Orange polish and see if it gave my nails the retro-80s look I was craving.

I recently experienced Disneyland for the first time ever and it was every bit as magical as I had hoped it would be. My boys and I enjoyed live shows, action-packed rides and all kinds of great shopping. And I got to wander the park in style too thanks to the new OPI Couture de Minnie collection!

The collection is a set of five fun nail lacquers features a variety of finishes and colours inspired by the most fashionable mouse of all time and I was delighted when I received a few of the new polishes to review.

julep maven bombshell introductory box The Julep Maven program has five style profiles so that women can choose a profile that suits them perfectly. I received a Julep Bombshell Introductory Maven Box so I could see for myself what the boxes were like. The products were beautifully packaged in a pink, ribbon-wrapped gift bag within the sleek black box and I had so much fun pulling them out. I had decided on the Bombshell Box, which included Julep Nail Vernis polish in Oscar and Natasha and a tube of Julep The Best Pedi Crème Ever.

While I was eager to use the glittering gold and intense orange polish on my toes, I really wanted to try the pedicure crème first. With exfoliating AHAs, hydrating shea butter and coconut oil and nourishing essential oils, it promised to show noticeable results with just one to two uses. I have to admit, I had a hard time believing that. My feet were in pretty rough shape and I was starting to think that nothing would get them sandal-ready. [Read more…]
