Upcoming Nail Polish Collections

Hello Ladies!!

We made it to 300 followers over the weekend so there will be a new giveaway next week.
We got back a few hours ago from the wedding over the weekend and I am so tired!

Polish brands are finally starting to realize how important the internet is and how much information gets shared this way. These companies are finally letting us know about upcoming collections sooner rather than later and not trying to stop people from sharing this information before they want them to.

So here is a post about all the upcoming collections that have been announced recently.

OPI

OPI has lots of collections coming up soon. A movie one, a brights one, a soft shades one and the next Fall/Winter collection.

Color Club

Colour club has released a few extra spring/summer collections this year with the glittery Starry Temptress collection and the scented Wicked Sweet collection. These are already available in some parts of the world, and if you really cant wait (like me) you can order online at transdesign.com

Zoya has some great bright summer colours coming up with the sunshine ans summertime collections. I cant wait to get some of the Sunshine collection - these are glass effect finishes with duo-chrome gold yellow flashes running through them. Zoya are also the first to bring our some bright coloured matte polishes!

After spotting Nicole by OPI finally in New Zealand, I am hoping we get more of these polishes here.

OPI La Paz-itively Hot - Matte

Thanks to all those lovely bloggers who gave me advice yesterday after my little panic. You are all amazing people. That's one of the things I like about blogging - you get to meet such nice amazing people, who care about you and are willing to share their knowledge and time :)

I waited quite a while before jumping on the OPI Matte band wagon. I had not heard many good things about this collection, so instead I focused my interests on the Suede collection instead.

I finally did get a polish from this Matte collection and I am glad that I did.

OPI La Paz-itively Hot - Matte - sunshine

I actually quite like this. This was two coats and the coverage was good. When it is wet is still looks slightly glossy, but you can see it turning matte as it dries. It is smooth and nice to have something different for a change.

OPI La Paz-itively Hot - Matte with Top Coat - sunshine

But this is when this polish really got my attention. I added a layer of OPI Top Coat and this polish is transformed to an amazing bright pink polish with an amazing blue shimmer. This is great. I love it and will be bringing it out to wear lots this summer.

Click on the picture to enlarge it and you should be able to see the blue shimmer working its magic here.

What are your feelings on the Matte collection? or Matte in general? Do you know if any of the other ones turn to amazing shimmer with a top coat?



Lots of Love
