OPI brings you a brand new collection straight from New Orleans itself ! The colours are vibrant, fun and will make everyday feel like Mardi Gras ! All of the shades had an amazing formula and the shine was just incredible.



Let Me Bayou A Drink 
This shade is a really soft and pretty nude polish. It has quite a bit of pink to it and reminds me of the 2015 Soft Shades collection. 



Humiditea
This one's a peculiar shade, it's sort of a brown/ coral based nude shimmer. It's ok but I felt about 80 years old once it was on my nails. Not a huge fan of this one.



Take A Right On Bourbon
This shade seems really similar to both Press * for Silver and This Silver's Mine!. Out of all of the shades in this collection, I found application the trickiest. It doesn't come across as bad in the photo but it was quite streaky and patchy around the cuticle. Still a pretty shade though.



Craw Fishin' For A Compliment
This shade is a light, creamy orange shade that reminds me of Fruit Tingles for some reason. It also seems quite similar to Is Mai Tai Crooked? from the Hawaii collection.



Got Myself Into A Jambalava 
This shade is a melony pink that makes me want to go on a beach holiday for some reason !



Suzi Nails New Orleans 
This is a nice and bright pink that is really lovely. I had no issues with application and I can see myself wearing it in the future.



I'm Sooo Swamped !
I must say that this shade looks much better in the photo than it does in person. It's really not my favourite shade and along with Humiditea, it's down there in my least favourite polishes.



Rich Girls and Po-Boys 
This shade has to be my favourite of the whole collection. It's a stunning china blue and I want it on my fingernails all day, everyday.



Spare Me A French Quarter?
This shade is a deep raspberry creme that just glides on. I had no problems with application and it was opaque in two coats.



I Manicure For Beads
This is a luscious purple cream, quite similar to Lost My Bikini In Molokini but brighter.
 


She's A Bad Muffuletta !
This shade is a lovely bright pinky/red creme polish. As like all of the shades in the collection, the finish was super glossy and not at all patchy.



Show Us Your Tips
If you like shimmery periwinkle shades, then this colour is for you ! Application was a breeze and it took two coats to be opaque.



You can pick up shades from this collection from February for $19.95 each from selected salons, MYER and David Jones. For retail stockists call 1800 812 663 and for salon enquires call 1800 358 999. Thanks COTY !

Rimmel London have released a new gel nail polish collection called Super Gel and it can give you up to 14 days of colour and incredible shine. The shades are quick to apply with only two to three coats of colour needed and you finish your mani off with their top coat; and the best thing is that you don't need a UV lamp !


All of the shades had a fantastic formula and were opaque in two to three coats. They also have an amazing shine. The only negative I found was that the top coat bubbled slightly.



New Romantic
This shade is a lovely light pink that has a shimmer through it. 



Soul Session 
This is a brown based nude that needed three coats to be opaque. 



Angel Wing
If a bubble gum pink is your style than this is the perfect pink for you !
 


Perfect Posy
This orange based shade reminds me so much of spring.



Blue Babe 
This shade is my favourite of all of the shades. Its a bright light blue that looks absolutely fabulous.



Shallow Bay
This green/teal shade is so pretty and I can see myself wearing it lots in the future !
 


Cocktail Passion
This shade is a pink with a slight orange undertone.



Happily Evie After
This orange is quite bright and fun and would look great for summer.


Red Ginger
This shade is a pinky/red colour that would look great on anyone.



Darling Dahlia
This shade is a spicy red that just pops.



Urban Purple
This shade was probably that hardest to capture the true colour. It's a deep pink/red that's really lovely.


Rock N Roll
Out of all the shades, this is the truest red. It has a slight brown undertone to it.


 I really loved all of these shades and I still can't believe how glossy they are. I've been wearing Urban Purple on my toes for the last three weeks and they've only just starting chipping.
You can pick these up from Priceline, Big W, Woolworths, Coles, Chemist Warehouse and My Chemist for $9.95 each. Thumbs up from me !

 As soon as I heard about this collection I was super excited and when the package arrived on my doorstep I was absolutely gobsmacked ! The people at COTY Pr were beyond generous and the press kit was just too cute. The new Hello Kitty collection is made up of 12 new limited edition shades that will have you tickled pink.



Kitty White
This shade is a pearly white glitter that looks great layered over light coloured polishes.



Let's Be Friends !
I'm loving this pale pink ! It was opaque in two-three coats and is one of my favourite light pink polishes.



Charmmy and Sugar 
This shade is a glitter packed polish that has a pink frosty base and mutli-coloured circular glitter flakes through it.



Look At My Bow !
This pink is a creamy bubblegum pink that has a really nice formula. It was slightly streaky on the first coat but evened out nicely on the second coat.



Small and Cute = ♥
This shade is lighter pink than Look At My Bow with peachy undertone to it. The formula was ok, a little bit streaky but not that difficult to work with.



Spoken From The Heart
If you're after a bright, coral/pink shade then this is the one for you. It's more of a crelly formula, so it goes on a bit differently than the creme polishes. 



Starry-Eyed For Dear Daniel 
This glitter polish has pink, purple and blue microglitter through it and is really pretty. It goes on really nicely and is opaque in two coats. The formula is a little thick but it dries pretty quickly. 



Super Cute In Pink
This shade is more of a purple colour than the name suggests and definitely has the most jelly like formula. It took three coats for full opacity.



My Twin Mimmy
Personally, I'm not much of a yellow person but if you are, this shade is nice. It's a creamy sun like yellow that reminds me of spring and summer. 



5 Apples Tall
This shade is a bright red that is the sort of shade that will look great on most skin tones. Similar to Spoken From The Heart, it's a crelly formula that took two coats to be opaque.  



My Pal Joey
I really love this shade ! It's a super pretty, bright and vibrant royal blue that got me so many compliments when I wore it. It goes on really well and has a amazing formula.  



Never Have Too Mani Friends ! 
This shade is a really glossy black that looks super elegant and it was almost a one-coater. 

With Christmas just around the corner, OPI have released their new Starlight Collection. The whole collection has a glittery and shimmery feel with deeper colours and golds and silvers. Bring on Christmas I say ! The people at COTY Pr are always so generous and this time is no exception. They sent me 12 polishes of the 18 piece holiday collection. So let's get stuck into it !



Love Is In My Cards
This is such a gorgeous red, the photo doesn't do it justice ! It's completely opaque in two coats and is the perfect red for my skin tone; I'm already wearing it on my toes !


Ro-Man-Ce On The Moon
In comparison to Love Is In My Cards, this is a deeper red and has a micro-shimmer running through it. It's a really nice shade and very Christmasy to me.


Comet Closer
This shade is a sort of a greenish tinged gold that has a textured finished. Not my favourite of the collection but it's still a nice shade nonetheless.


Guys & Galaxies
This is such a gorgeous deep burgundy and has a super glossy finish. This shade would look great in the colder months or even during Autumn.


I'm In The Moon For Love
This is a really funky colour. It's a mid purple that's got a fine shimmer running through it. Quite understated and has a really nice finish to it.


Give Me Space
This has to be one of my favourites of the whole collection ! Its a darker blue with a glitter finish but the magic of this colour is that it has so much dimension to it. I got so many compliments wearing this shade and I really didn't want to take it off.


Center Of The You-Niverse
I wasn't so sure about this shade when I swatched it on a swatch stick but it looks so much nicer on the nail ! It has small glitter but also larger flecks of glitter running through it. It evened out nicely on the second coat and is sort of like a dark grey version of Give Me Space.


Super Star Status
I'm loving this shade ! It's quite similar to It's Frosty Outside by OPI which is a silver liquid sand polish and is my favourite to use for accent nails. Super Star Status is a textured glitter polish that has a mainly silver hue but with some gold glitter flecks as well.


Infrared-y To Glow
I normally wouldn't pick up a polish like this myself because glitter toppers aren't my favourite but it didn't look so bad layered over Guys & Galaxies. If you're a glitter kind of person then this polish would be right up your alley.


Let Your Love Shine
Out of the three reds in this collection (Love Is In My Cards, Ro-Man-Ce On The Moon and Let Your Love Shine), this is the darkest shade and has the most obvious shimmer. It reminds me of Every Month Is Oktoberfest by OPI and would be such a good toenail colour.


Ce-less-tial Is More
This shade is such a nice rose gold textured polish. It would look amazing on a darker skin tone or even as an accent nail. So pretty !


Press * For Silver
To me, this is a more rose gold version of This Silver's Mine ! from the 2015 Soft Shades Collection. I found it quite streaky but the colour is really pretty and would look great in nail designs.



Overall I really liked this collection and will definitely be reaching for a lot of these polishes again. If you like metallic or deeper shades that are shimmery or glitter, than this collection is for you.
