Cupcake Polish Berry Good Looking Swatch & Review

Hey there! Today I have to show you my newest obsession! From indie company Cupcake Polish this is Berry Good Looking, from the Berry Patch collection they put out this summer. I kept seeing this on Instagram and fell head over heels and had to buy it! It's a super hawt almost neon vibrant violet purple linear holographic. This is mind-blowing in real life, trust. 

This is two coats, it's almost fully opaque in one because it's so pigmented. I did use topcoat and it didn't dull the holo at all. The rainbow effect is epic. This is so super full of pigment that it may stain though, so be careful.

It was thicker than I'm used to for a holographic and I noticed that it would thicken up even more the longer I had the bottle open. I had to close the bottle and roll it in my hands to loosen it up every few fingers, which isn't the greatest. However, I would still recommend it, today, tomorrow and the next day because it is so flippen beautiful!! I got this on Friday, wore it on Saturday, took it off, then put it back on Sunday night. I may or may not be wearing it right now... Yup, I'm in luuurve!

I purchased this from the Cupcake Polish website for $13.00. Have you tried Cupcake Polish yet? This is my first polish from them, but I definitely need more. Have a wonderful week cookies!

OPI Coca-Cola Two To Celebrate Duo Swatches & Review

Happy Saturday! I'm back today with the two new Coca-Cola shades from OPI! This duo was created for the 100th anniversary of the Coca-Cola green glass bottle. I prefer to drink my soda from a can, but I can appreciate a glass bottle when I feel fancy ;) Let's take a look!

Press Sample

Visions of Georgia Green was obviously inspired by the classic Coca-Cola bottle, it's a warm soft green metallic with a silver/pale purpleish pink shift, green shimmer flecks and pink shimmer. This was exciting to me when I first heard about it but I found it a little underwhelming once I put it on. It's pretty sheer, I had to use 4 coats. Nice idea, but doesn't quite hit the mark for me.

You can see the complexity better in the shade photo, but I still wish it was a bit darker or something. It's like just a whisper of green, which I'm sure was the look they were going for, mimicking the glass and all.

And this is Centennial Celebration, a silver foil with a touch of gold. It might look totally silver here, but next to a true silver, like My Signature is "DC" from the full Coca-Cola collection, it definitely comes off warmer and more pewter. However I don't think it's that big of a difference to warrant another silvery foil in the same collection. This was opaque in one coat, but I used two. The brush in this one had some wonky bristles, so it wasn't fun to paint with, but if your brush is normal I'm sure you won't have any issues.

OPI polishes can be purchased at professional salons like JCPenney Salons, Trade Secret, Sally Beauty Supply, Ulta.com and Ulta as well as a lot of other retailers and online. What do you think of the two new Coca-Cola shades? Are you a Coke fan?

OPI Coca-Cola Collection 2014 Swatches & Review

Hi everyone! Today I'm going to show off the OPI Coca-Cola collection. This originally came out last year at the beginning of summer, but a lot of the shades are being re-released this year. There are also two additional shades that I will show you in another post soon. This bunch of colors is perfect for the Coca-Cola fan, they are all inspired by their different drink flavors!

Press Sample

A Grape Affair is an homage to Grape Fanta, which I've personally never tried but it sounds good. This is a deep, vampy purple crème. It was easy to apply and opaque in two coats. This is one of the shades that has been re-released this year.

Next is probably the most popular of the collection, Coca-Cola Red! Talk about iconic! This is an amazing, quintessential bright red. It's actually opaque in 1 coat! The formula reminds me of one of my favorite polishes of all time in it's perfection, the original Sally Hansen Pacific Blue. I used two coats for consistency but you could definitely use just one if you wanted to. Another shade that is being re-released, 'natch.

Get Cherried Away is a wine-y magenta crème inspired by Cherry Coke. It has nice coverage but it's on the thin side. Be careful to avoid any pooling in your cuticles because this one might stain (see the edge of my cuticle on my pointer?). Two coats here. This is also being re-released this year.

Here is Green On The Runway, a metallic green to reddish brown duochrome. Sprite is the inspiration flavor here, and I think they did a good job with it! This one has a thin formula but I got it opaque on two coats. It is kinda brushstrokey though. This shade was not one of the repromotes for this year.

My Signature Is "DC" is a classic silver foil. This is the shade they made for Diet Coke, which is my personal pick out of the Coca-Cola beverage line up. This might be the best silver foil I've ever used! Easy, perfect formula and opaque in one coat! You can get this one in the re-released collection this year.

Here is Orange You Fantastic!, a sheer yellowy orange jelly with orange, gold, yellow and red glitter inspired by Orange Fanta. I wasn't sure if this was a texture polish, but upon fully drying down it most definitely is. You can add a thick layer or two of top coat if you don't want the texture, but I left it off in this swatch. Easy to apply, two coats. This polish makes me think of Fall and Halloween and I love it! Not re-released this year.

Sorry I'm Fizzy Today is a smooth pink crème. I can't believe I haven't worn this until now, but it's really beautiful. This was made with Vanilla Coke in mind, which I kind of don't get. Just an ok formula, I used 3 coats here. The color is just different enough to actually be a unique shade for me, which is saying something considering all the pinks I have in my collection! It's got a touch of coral or maybe peach to it. This is one that you can pick up in the updated collection this year.

This guy is called Today I Accomplished Zero, inspired by Coke Zero. It's got a black jelly base with muted red metallic hex glitters. It goes on sheer at first, but builds up in three coats to be opaque. I was surprised at how smooth this is, not chunky at all. It doesn't dry very shiny, so I would still recommend a top coat. Not one of the re-released shades.

Last is You're So Vain-illa, a pale yellowy beige crème for Vanilla Coke. This is a cool shade, much prettier on than I expected. Ok formula, I needed three coats to even it out but it was painless. This polish is available in this year's collection.

OPI is found at places like Ulta, Sally Beauty Supply and professional salons for around $9.50 each. Did you pick up this collection last year? If not, are you picking any up this year? Stay tuned for the two new shades and we'll see you again soon!
