Hi everyone! Today’s post is a quick one to show that China Glaze TTYL from the new 2018 OMG Flashback Collection can stamp. I had this on for a few days before the sun came back out and I could get some pictures. I am not affiliated.
Hi everyone! Oh boy! I’m going to have a long post with a lot of photos today!
In 2008 China Glaze released the OMG Collection. There were 12 beautiful, linear holographic polishes in the collection. This June, for the 10 year anniversary, they have released an OMG Flashback Collection with 6 of the 12 polishes. Before it was released, there was speculation if they would be as great as the originals or if we’d be let down like with the Hologlam and Tronica “holographic” collections from a few years ago. I’m here to tell you (and show you) that this is not at all a let down! These 6 polishes are just as wonderful as the originals!! Way to go China Glaze! This is how a Flashback collection should be done!
Hi everyone! Today I have the new/upcoming 6 piece Pop Culture Collection from OPI. You all are going to think I’ve lost my mind when you see the photos below, but I am not hating this collection! Keep in mind you are seeing up close and expanded photos and they don’t look all that appealing, but in real life, at arm’s length, these do not look that bad. I actually really love a couple of them and at least one of them I would not wear again.
Now, I am a big fan of textured polishes. I have all the Zoya PixieDusts, OPI Liquid Sands, and a few from L’oreal among others. You do have to be a fan of gritty texture or just turn away now, these are not for you! In my opinion, these do not look good with topcoat and even worse with matte topcoat. They actually are not as bumpy and obnoxious if you layer one coat over a similar base color either. I will show you all of that below.
I bought these from PolishPick.com. You can find them HERE. I am not really affiliated, I do buy the polish from them but I am a choice in their drop down menu of where you heard about the company. I don’t get any perks if you do or don’t pick me, but please choose my name if you do make a purchase! I am not affiliated with OPI.
I do have a lot of photos today!

Hi everyone! Today I have the only polish I bought from the new China Glaze Shades of Paradise Collection. I probably would have bought others, but the display at my Sally Beauty was really picked over and had wrong items in it, etc, so this was the only one I ended up getting. The great news is this is a holographic polish! I love when mainstream polish companies put out something other than the same cremes or shimmers!

Hi everyone! Today I have a collection of 6 polishes from Finger Paints to share with you. Finger Paints are only found at Sally Beauty stores. I checked my store in the middle of April and this collection was not out yet, but I went again a couple days ago and a full, new collection was out on the shelves. Even better, the polishes were Buy 1 Get 1 50% off! You have to love a polish sale!
If you love contrasting shimmer like I do, this is the collection you have to see! I am not affiliated with Sally Beauty or Finger Paints.

Hi everyone! Today I have the last 3 polishes from the new/upcoming OPI Grease Collection. This collection corresponds to the 40th Anniversary of Grease the movie!
All 3 of these polishes dry to a “Leather Like Effect” finish. Don’t let that scare you though! Wait until you see what these look like at just 1 coat!!
You can see my Grease Collection Part 1 swatch and review HERE.
You can see my Grease Collection Part 2 swatch and review HERE.
I bought all 15 polishes from this collection at PolishPick.com. Check them out HERE!!

Hi everyone! Today I have the next 6 polishes from the upcoming OPI summer collection! This collection corresponds with the 40th anniversary of Grease the movie! As I said in Part 1, I may or may not be old enough to have seen this when it originally came out in theaters (I’ll never tell!) but I do still own the vinyl record!
Be warned that if you’re familiar with the songs from Grease, some of these names will cause you to be humming the songs all day!
I bought this collection from PolishPick.com. They have all the recent OPI collections (plus many other brands too!) for great prices and reasonable (and quick) shipping!
You can check out the mini collection of Leather Like Effect polishes HERE.
As usual, there are a lot of photos today!!

Hi everyone! Today I have the first 6 polishes from the new/upcoming OPI Grease Collection to share with you! This is the 40th Anniversary of Grease the movie! I may or may not be old enough to have seen this in a theater when it first came out (I’ll never tell!) but I do still have the original vinyl album!
Grease is one of a handful of movies I would watch over and over. It’s been a long time now since I’ve seen it. I was really looking forward to this collection when I heard it was coming!
As I was painting my nails with some of these I got an ear worm of the song the polish related to, so that was a fun remembrance!
I bought this collection from Polishpick.com. They have good prices and reasonable (and quick!) shipping! Check them out HERE.
As always, I have a lot of photos today!!

Hi everyone! I became aware that the OPI Lisbon Collection had store exclusives and ordered them online right away. Both Sally Beauty and Ulta have 3 exclusive colors each. I ordered mine online so I am not sure if they are in stores or not, but I just checked both online stores and they all seem to be available still (as of my writing this post). There are also some comparisons at the bottom of the post with other Lisbon Collection colors. I am not affiliated with OPI, Sally Beauty or Ulta.
Hi everyone! I have a quick look at the next Orly Collection for Spring 2018, Pastel City.
I’ve been getting the Orly Collections from the Orly Color Pass. With the Color Pass you sign up in advance for a year’s worth of collections (4 in all) at a discount price. So every three months or so you will just receive in the mail the most current Orly Collection plus some great bonuses with each shipment. You can check out and sign up for the Color Pass HERE.
They also included a way to save $10 off the annual subscription price by using the code PASTELCITY. This is not an affiliate code, just a way to save you some money. I am not affiliated with Orly and will receive nothing by you using that code.
