Haul - OPI, Nicole by OPI and Ole Henriksen!

I told you I had another haul post for ya! I love this haul, to be honest... well, lots of polish and (hopefully) great skincare - what's there not to love?!?


L-R:
  • OPI Femme De Cirque minis - this set of four minis has gorgeous light hues - pinks and nudes, as well as a really special "glitter" topcoat. Can't wait to try them out.
  • Ole Henriksen Starter Kit for Normal/Combination Skin - I had been saving up for this one, since it's high-end skincare and on the pricier side, and I'm so happy to finally have it. I have heard great things about Ole Henriksen's skincare line, and I thought this kit was a great way to get to know his products. You get 2 months supply of complete skincare, and the six products include cleanser, face tonic, day creme and night creme, a walnut scrub and a firming mask. I'll do an in-depth review when I've used these for a while!
  • OPI Nice Stems! minis - Another set of four mini OPI shades, but those are quite the opposite of the other one - these are bright summer colours! Sounds like me!
  • I had to get at least one pirate shade! I only picked one since I was already buying quite a lot that day, and the one I chose was Stranger Tides by OPI, which was the one that seemed most unique to me. It is a greyish green, really pretty in a strange way. Arrr!
  • And finally, we all need some glitter! I'm not really a Justin Bieber fan, but when I saw that his Nicole by OPI collection was out here, I had to pick one shade We've never had Nicole by OPI in Iceland before and my heart started beating so fast when I saw the stand - yes, I know. I´m a polish junkie, proud to be :) I chose Step to the Beat of my Heart, which is a clear polish with purple glitter and purple hearts floating around! This will be so pretty for layering over other shades, particularly for accent manis!

So, like my haul? I have to say that I'm in love with all my new polish!

OPI - The Katy Perry Collection

I'm so late posting this! You've probably seen this collection months ago, but I like my minis, so I'm putting this post up anyway :)
I bought this set of mini polishes in March, when I was in Berlin, and it has all four shades of the Katy Perry collection, except for Black Shatter:


The One That Got Away, Teenage Dream, Last Friday Night and Not Like the Movies

  • Teenage Dream and Last Friday Night are glitter polishes, the latter is blue, the other one is pink. Last Friday Night is the thickest polish I've ever worked with, it felt like applying pudding to my nails!
  • The One That Got Away is a dark pink with shimmer/glitter.
  • Not Like the Movies is a... strange colour! It's a metallic grey/dark silver, with green and purple shimmer. Pretty, but not really "me".


Teenage Dream is my favourite from the four, it is super sparkly and pretty, especially over another polish for some "bling". Wish I had gotten the full size before they ran out!
Pretty much self-explanatory, but I have The One That Got Away on my thumb and my pinky, Last Friday Night on my index finger, Not Like The Movies on my middle finger and Teenage Dream on my ring finger.
Just in case any of you haven't seen a mini OPI nail polish bottle, I have a momma-polish and a baby-polish of The One That Got Away. The "momma" is 15 ml, the "baby" is 3.75 ml. They're so cute!

Same order of polish, but with OPI Black Shatter on top. Teenage Dream with Black Shatter is so pretty, with all the glitter peaking through!

Over to you: What did you think of the collection, did you buy any of the shades? And what about mini bottles, do you like them?


Love,
Miss Diorista

Haul from Berlin (part 4) - OPI

I was going to wait with this post until tomorrow, but I am so excited about getting this haul out (and finally having time to blog) that I just had to write it now. Besides, those polishes are so pretty that the joy has to be shared! 

L-R:
  • OPI Katy Perry Mini Nail Lacquers - I love minis, and I really wanted to try the Katy Perry collection, so those cuties just screamed at me from the shelf! Unfortunately, it doesn't include Black Shatter, but I actually just found it in the store today, so there's no harm done :)
  • OPI Green-wich Village. I love this colour! It's the perfect green, not too bright, yet not dull at all, and I don't think I could ever get bored with it! It's kind of like grass... the formula is a cream.
  • OPI Who The Shrek Are You? I always wanted this polish but couldn't find it until now! It is a cream formula, and literally, it is Shrek's exact colour! So fun!
Reviews for all of those are coming up, but if there are any that you would like to see sooner than others, let me know! Also, stay tuned for the next part of this haul, which will be a few goodies from Victoria's Secret (cosmetics of course :)

Love,
Miss Diorista

OPI - Summer Flutter Minis!

How delightful to be enjoying the peek of summer... what? Whoa. Hold on! It´s not summer? What? It´s autumn?! No! That can't be! I don't believe you ;)

Yep. I seem to be doing a series of "late" posts... it's not on purpose, though. I promise :)

So the other day, I got my first OPI minis! They came four together, and yes, they are summer colours. But who cares? They're fun and pretty!

First of all, don´t you just love the supercute green packaging? You might have noticed that I love the colour green (my blog design is a little hint for you!) so this packaging is right up my alley!

Bold
And here you have the four little cuties! They are, from the left:

Flower-to-Flower, a bright pink with a hint of shimmer.
Flit a bit, a bright orange, cream.
Wing-it! a rather bright reddish pink, with ToNs of glitter and shimmer!
Catch Me in Your Net, a blue teal colour (who'm I kidding, teal is blue!) with the same ton of glitter and shimmer. This one might be my favourite of the fabulous four...

I have yet to try these out, wearing another one at the moment, but I do expect them to be of the same great quality as the other OPIs I have. I'll let you know!

So, how are you feeling in your grandmother´s trousers these days? Liking those colours? I most certainly am :) July, I'm on my way!

Yours,
Miss Diorista

P.S. I asked you guys a few days ago, but nobody answered, so I'm asking again, since techonology and computers mixed with MissDiorista is just bound to fail... How do I get that "You might also like..." under my posts? I would be so grateful if you could help me out, I've looked for it everywhere (literally, even under my bed... it wasn't there...) and I can't find it!
