Pop Culture Cosmetics Christmas Polishes

This year Pop Culture Cosmetics is the Indie brand I chose my Christmas polishes from.  I preordered these and they arrived a few weeks ago.

Pop Culture Cosmetics Magical Christmas  (over Black) - Sunshine

Pop Culture Cosmetics Magical Christmas (over Black) - Shade

Magical Christmas is red Mickey Mouse ear glitter, with green and red circle glitter and smaller red and green hex glitter in a clear base.  This is two dabbed coats over a black cream.

Pop Culture Cosmetics Sugarplum Fairy - Sunshine

Pop Culture Cosmetics Sugarplum Fairy - Shade

Sugarplum Fairy is a pink and purple glitter with white snowflakes. pink stars and various pink and purple glitters in a pink micro-shimmer base.  This is three coats.  I had to go fishing for the snowflakes in this one as they had sunk to the bottom of the bottle.

Pop Culture Cosmetics Winter Wonderland (over Black) - Sunshine

Pop Culture Cosmetics Winter Wonderland (over Black) - Shade

This is two coats of Winter Wonderland over a black creme. This one has snowmen glitter and snowflake glitter, with large white circle glitter iridescent glitter in a clear base.  Again I had to go fishing for the snowmen, but they weren't too hard to pull out of the bottle because of their size.

Pop Culture Cosmetics The Haunted Mouse collection

I love Pop Culture Cosmetics Polishes. They are one of my favourite Indies. Problem is they release so many collections that are topical to me, that I am quickly running out of money. Recently they have had great Disney collections, A Once Upon A Time collection and now an awesome Christmas collection. Check out their store here http://popculturecosmetics.com.

For my birthday Lisa (the other one) bought me two of the polishes from the The Haunted Mouse Halloween collection.

Pop Culture Cosmetics Awaken the Spearits - Sunshine

Pop Culture Cosmetics Awaken the Spearits - Shade

Pop Culture Cosmetics Awaken the Spearits - White Light

This is one dabbed coat of Awaken the Spearits over a black crème. This one is full of lots of different shaped silver glitter in a black base.  It has Mickey Mouse ears, three sizes of circles, diamonds, stars, two sizes of moons, and two sizes of square glitter, as well as little hexes and silver shimmer.  I did have to go fishing for the shaped glitter, but it wasn't too hard to find enough to cover my nails (I think I actually ended up with too many shapes on my nails).

 

Pop Culture Cosmetics Simply Villainous - Sunshine

Pop Culture Cosmetics Simply Villainous - Shade

Pop Culture Cosmetics Simply Villainous - White Light

Simply Villainous is an awesome purple glitter polish. This is three coats.  It has silver Mickey Mouse heads with 3 sizes of purple circles, silver stars, mini moons and iridescent purple squares, in a purple glittery shimmery base.  I love this, and the fact that you can wear it alone.  This one didn't require any fishing for shaped glitter, and after three coats there were enough shapes on each nail anyway.

Can anybody help?

I am the biggest Disney Fan ever!

We don't really get Nicole by OPI polishes in New Zealand and I am in love with the new Tink collection.

Would anyone be able to get me two sets of this collection? I can pay for it and also swap if needed.

Please email me at lnlankshear4@hotmail.com if you can help. Thanks!

Spotted in NZ: OPI Couture de Minnie Collection

I spotted the OPI Couture de Minnie Collection in Farmers yesterday.

This is the second collection OPI has done with Minnie Mouse, with the last one, OPI Vintage Minnie Mouse Collection, being released at the same time last year.

OPI Couture de Minnie Collection

This collection has 5 polishes. One of which is glitter and one is a liquid sands polish.

Left to Right: Chic From Ears To Tail, A Definite Moust-Have, Minnie Style, 

Innie Minnie Mightie Bow, Magazine Cover Mouse

These are NZ$26.99 at Farmers. But can always be found cheaper online.

I am the biggest Disney fan, and need to own every polish that is even remotely Disney related. However I am sitting on the fence about this collection.  I think I will end up getting them just because of the names, but not so much because of the colours or finishes.

Lots of Love

OPI Nothin' Mousie 'Bout It

OPI Nothin' Mousie 'Bout It is the second polish I bought from the Vintage Minnie Mouse collection a few weeks ago.  It is little light pink hearts in a clear base of light pink glitter, that looks similar to a glass effect polish once on the nail.

 OPI Nothin' Mousie 'Bout It over OPI I'm All Ears - Natural Light

OPI Nothin' Mousie 'Bout It over Black - Sunshine

I like the way the pink looks over the black, it shows up more than it does over the pink.  This was two coats over a black creme.

To be honest I found the hearts in this polish very difficult. I had to fish them out of the bottle and try and place them individually on the nail.  The hearts seem to sink to the bottom of the bottle.

OPI I'm All Ears

So in about 5 weeks time I will be at Disneyland! and I am SO EXCITED!!!!! I love Disneyland. I have been once before when I was 23 and I thought it was Amazing. I am a complete Disney nut. I have pretty much every Disney movie on DVD.

So when OPI came out with the Vintage Minnie Mouse collection I had to get them all. I was going to wait until I actually got to Disneyland, but a bad day at work and a sale at Farmers a few weeks ago saw me get two out of the collection.

 OPI I'm All Ears - Natural Light

OPI I'm All Ears - Sunshine

This is three coats. I'm All Ears is a cute glass effect polish in a bright medium pinky red colour.  I am surprised I didn't already have something like this in my collection, but it is unique for me.  This is almost like a jelly polish, and is quite see through until you build up the layers.

Here is me in October 2009 at Disneyland with Minnie Mouse

Spotted in NZ: OPI Vintage Minnie Mouse

I had an absolutely terrible day at work today. So I went shopping at lunch (my day got worse after lunch but I wont bore you with the details) to try and cheer myself up.

I spotted the new OPI Vintage Minnie Mouse collection at Farmers.  It contains 4 pink polishes.

Left to Right: Nothin' Mousie 'bout it, I'm all ears, If You Moust You Moust, The Color of Minnie

I was planning on picking up the Vintage Minnie Mouse collection when I am at Disneyland next month, but after my bad day and the fact that Farmers had a buy 2 get one free for Beauty Club members, I picked up Nothin' Mousie 'bout it, I'm all ears and Every Month is Oktoberfest, as well as Orly Mermaid Tale.

I love getting nail mail

Friday was a great nail mail day for me.

My models own order finally made it to New Zealand.

Top row: Purple Mystique, Golden Peach, Magenta Divine, Evergreen
Bottom row: Blue Med, Purple Haze, Lilac dream, Bluebelle, Peacock Green

These are the polishes I ordered from the 50% of sale. There were a few extra I wanted but they were sold out. Models own polishes are usually £5 each. International shipping is £9.95. All up my order with the 50% discount only ended up costing $65.99, which is only $7.33 a polish. I cant wait to try these out.

I am a huge Disney fan. It sucks because we don't have any Disney stores at all in New Zealand. I saw these on Ebay and had to have them.

Top row: Jasmine, Rupunzel, Pocahontas, Belle, Mulan
Bottom row: Snow White, Cinderella, Tiana, Aurora, Ariel

These are small only 6mls each. The packet says that they are adult cosmetics, so I am hoping they are decent quality. Although based on the smell I assume that they are not B3F. These came from Hawaii and did end up costing a bit. I paid US$55 for the polishes alone. But as I said, I am a huge Disney fan, and when it is combined with nail polish, I couldn't say no.

Hope your all having a good weekend. Its raining here and I need to clean the whole house.

Lots of Love
