OPI - Designer Series 2 new colors for fall 2013

Hellooooo ya'll!

Excited about fall approaching?
For me, I have mixed emotions... I miss being able to walk around in flip flops and a little dress...
But it's also nice to snuggle up in a big blanket, lighting some candles and sipping on tea.

Today I'll show you 2 new polishes from OPI and their "Designer Series" polishes.
Did you know that the DS polishes contain diamondpowder? Actual diamonds??
How cool is that! I didnt know that and got to learn it recently. These kind of polishes are really expensive, but now I know why :)

First up is a cold toned purple, truly sparkly.
Drying to a semi matte finish so if you want it really shiny, don't forget to apply a good top coat :)

"DS Lapis"


Second is a cool toned, gunmetal pewter.
This also dries to a semi-matte finish so on with your top coat and you're good to sparkle away.

"DS Pewter"



So these where the polishes for this time :)
Don't forget to check out my video to see how they apply with my live swatches!





Have a sparkly weekend all of you my loved ones :)



Mwacks!

OPI - San Francisco - Fall collection 2013

Hello my loves!
Today I'm doing swatches for you showing you the coming collection from OPI and their fall collection for 2013 - San Francisco -
This collection is a mix of reds and "sea" colors :)
Normally a large collection has 12 colors. This one has 15!
12 regular polishes and 3 liquid sand polishes.

This collection will be out in stores in August!!

Here are the swatches :)

"A piers-to be tan"
A yellowtoned, nutty, hazeulnut brown.
This can be a bit hard to wear but if you have a nice tan and the right toned skin for this you'll look great in it.
Here's what it looks like outdoors in the shade
-

"I knead sour-dough"
This breadish red brown has really pretty shimmer in it.
A pretty unique color to me..

Here's the color outdoor in the shade
-

 "First date at the golden gate"
This is a beautiful ruby red. Want to be "the lady in red"? Then this is for you ;)
Here's the  color outdoors in the shade

-

"Lost on Lombard"
A darker version of the previous color. It also has a brownish tone in it.
The same color outdoors in the shade
 
-

"Embarca-dare ya"
Love this raspberry magenta shimmer polish.
It comes out lighter onto the nail than in the bottle, I found that to be a good thing:)
 Outdoor in the shade
 -

"In the cable car-pool lane"
Here's a burgundy, plum jellylike color. I did a comparions in my live swatches video showing you a comparison with "Anti-bleak" and also "Casino Royale". Curious? Check it out :)

Ourdoor in the shade
-

"Peace & Love & OPI"
This is a superpretty duochrome color. OPI describes this as a holographic, it isnt. Too bad.. but it's really pretty.
Here's what it looks like outdoors in the shade
-

"Muir muir on the wall"
This dark gorgeous burgundy gives me the chills! GORGE!! It's been compared to the color "Every month is Oktoberfest" from last years fall collection and I must say they are SIMILAR.. but not as close as people say... in my opinion. Either way, it's beautiful! Very sheer with just 1 coat with splash on coat nr 2 and you'll gasp.
Outdoors in the shade
 -

"Dining al frisco"
Light blue, like the sky! kinda icy blue.. lovely! 
This shimmery blue will lift your spirit ;)
Outdoor in the shade 
 -
"Keeping Suzi at bay"
A kind of a dusty medium blue. Almost like a mix of a royal blue and superman blue :)
Outdoors in the shade
 -

"Incognito in Sausalito"
A very dark, dusty, ink black blue. Dark as the night.
Love this creme :) Great opacity
Outdoors in the shade
-

"Haven't the foggiest"
A beautiful silvery grey with tons of shimmer!
WOWZA opacity and just gorge!
Outdoors in the shade
 -

NOW ONTO THE LIQUID SAND POLISHES :D

"It's all san andreas's fault!"
A cold toned taupe with absolutely no shimmer. A really interesting color that dries with the liquid sand texture and pretty much "matte" in the color.
 Outdoors in the shade
-

"Wharf, wharf, wharf!"
A medium dark blue with no glitter in the blue liquid sand either.
Me like :)
Outdoors in the shade
