NOTD Sephora by OPI Club Scene Queen

Hello my dear readers!

What a name for a polish, Club Scene Queen! So I definitely hat to snag that one, love the name! To make it even better, this is one awesome little polish *yay* The color is a smoky blue with a teeny tiny bit of gray and tons of fine blue microglitter. Thank goodness it is one of those glitters, where the glitter is so fine, removal is a breeze instead of a royal pain in your behind. The first coat of this was incredibly sheer, it almost looked like a clear base with some fine blue glitter in it. The second coat wasn't really better, it looked streaky and aneven...
But the came coat number three and boy did it surprise me! Nice coverage, awesome color and beautiful glitter, all without being piled up and looking gunky on my nail.
So I hope you gals don't mind my wacky pics, I have two bandaids on my left swatching hand, so I had to use my right hand this time *arg*

But here comes the evidence of the day, please enjoy!

So, to sum it up, Club Scene Queen seems to me like a more smoky Version of OPI's Absolutely Alice, minus the gold glitter of course. I really like it, it is such a perfect color for fall/winter and it just screams to be worn with a pair of dark blue jeans :-)

Some more hot summer nights - Sephora by OPI Havana Nights Collection

Hi there my dear fiends!

Today I am back with a HUGE PIC HEAVY post concerning Sephora by OPI's current collection called Havana Nights. I did not get all polishes, since I wasn't too intrigued by the colors, so instead I got the Mini Collection Sephora offers and one full size bottle. The quality of these is awesome, I would even go as far and say I do like the Sephora by OPI polishes better than the classic OPI ones. But that's just my humble opinion =)
Some of the polishes were on the sheer side, but nothing an extra coat wouldn't cure. What really surprised me was that the colors I was looking forward to tunred out to be "nice" but the ones I didn't really want to get but were included in the set just turned out awesome, funny huh? Did you guys ever have that experience with a collection?

Anyway, lets move on to the good stuff. Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride through Havana *winkwink*

P.S. Oh before I forget:
I am moving pretty darn close towards the 100 follower mark. So thank you guys for your support for the past months *thumbsup*
I guess I should think about having some nice giveaway to celebrate, what do you guys think?

Havana Nights Collection - Caribbean Cocktail
Love that one, isn't that one heavenly, silvery kinda blue? Can#t have enough blue shimmers, let me tell you. this one was three coats, since it is a bit on the sheer side, but application is sooooooo smooth, it really isn't a big deal to add on more layers. Now looking at the pics again, this one really reminds me of China Glaze's Blue Island Iced Tea, I think I need to do a comparison swatch some time soon...

Havana Nights Collection - Caliente Coral
Beautiful creme polish that applies very smooth. But hey, what's up with that name? Can't find anything coral about this, even if my life depended on it. This is one hot, bright, vivid orange creme in my book, so I better go check if there is something wrong with my glasses...

Havana Nights Collection - Rumba Romance
now this one was one stunning surprise out of the collection. At first I was like, ugh another brassy brown wanna-be-tan shade, but after applying this gem I was completely wowed! This is a clear base 8yup, clear) packed with about a gazillion gold,brass and caramel colored microglitters. Three coats give you one perfect metallic coverage. This looks so awesome I can't stop swooning about it. But alas, why oh why is my skin not compatible with this??? Bummer for poor me =(

Havana Nights Collection - Read My palm
Woohoo, another surprise! This is a loooovely light jade green creme. Nothing too minty ( I was thinking, boy, an Essie Mint Candy Apple Clone) but just clear crisp light green. Gorgeous, a winner in my book!

Havana Nights Collection - Teal We Meet Again
Hmmmm this one was not what I hoped for it to be. I mean, where is the teal, the slight duochrome shimmer I saw in the promo pics? Nevertheless, it is pretty, more of a fall than summer color I think. A dark blue shimmer with some teal in it, but the blue is definitly dominant. Like it, but I am to bummed out to love it. Personal opinion though ;-)
