Essie

 

I struck gold a week or so ago, when OzSale had a wide selection of Essie polishes on sale for $5 (with free shipping).  In Australia they retail for almost $20.  I'm a creature of habit who usually wears shades of nude pink and red, so I picked up "Limited Addiction" and "Rock Candy" along with a top and base coat to replace my old OPI favourites.

Couldn't resist!

New OPI goodness

I received a new 6-pack of goodness from 8ty8beauty this week.  Don't you love receiving packages?  I find it more exciting than walking into a store and coming out with a paper bag.

5 new colours and a base coat arrived.  Isn't it amazing that 6 colours, plus extremely expensive postage equals 2.5 polishes at David Jones?

From left to right:

• OPI - Bullish on OPI - a red/very very dark pink/clay colour.  No shimmer.
• OPI - OPI On Collins Ave - a really bright red/orangey colour. No shimmer.
• OPI - Lincoln Park After Dark (matte version) - a very very deep purple.  An OPI classic.  This one is ultra matte.  Only one coat required.
• Orly - OMG - the perfect bright pink. No shimmer.
• OPI - A Oui Bit Of Red - bright red with a shimmer.

OPI does amazing reds.  The best, easiest to apply, true red, without shimmer is Big Apple Red.
