OPI Disney's The Nutcracker and the Four Realms Nail Lacquer Mini 4 Pack Swatches + Review

Babes, I was the biggest fan of The Nutcracker when I was younger, so when I saw that OPI had partnered with Disney for a nail collection I had to pick-up The Nutcracker and the Four Realms Nail Lacquer Mini 4 Pack! Thoughts? 100% obsessed with all four colors, and you're about to see why!

Dazzling Dew Drop is a Glimmering Gold Shimmer. Babes, you all know that I'm not a gold girl when it comes to manis; but this! This one I love {or maaaybe it's just the spirit of the season fooling me into thinking that?}. Aaanyway…Dazzling Dew Drop is the perfect shade to move you from your holiday hangover into the throes of the new year! The yellow gold shading is bright and sparkly in a way that doesn't compare to other golds; while the easy breezy formula is exactly what you need if you're looking to polish in a pinch! Though light in hue; this one reaches opacity super fast, and is simply gorgeous to look at. Get it girls! This is 2 coats.


March In Uniform is a Navy Creme. Tbh, I'm kiiiiind of navy-ed out after all of the navy hues that popped up in the fall and winter collections this past year; but I'm still loving this shade because it's the tiniest bit different from the rest of the blues out there. March In Uniform is a rich shade that is perfect for the chillier months; but what makes it special? It actually leans blurple, so it has a multifaceted feel. Though definitely dark; I found that it applied slightly thin, making two coats a necessity. Definitely a must if you're looking for a shade that's not your basic navy. This is 2 coats.


Tinker, Thinker, Winker? is a Sparkling Silver. Winter is the one time of year I go wild for silver shades; so you know I simply couldn't resist this shimmering stunner! Tinker, Thinker, Winker? feels like a winter wonderland on your fingers! It gives off a frosty and enchanting vibe whenever it catches the light, and pairs perfectly with pastels and sequins. The formula is thin {one coat would serve as a nice, sparkly topper to other colors}; but builds to opacity fairly quickly. If you're looking for a way to extend the holidays for a few more weeks, this bad boy is the key! This is 3 coats.


Dreams Need Clara-fication is an Icy Blue Creme. Le sighmints and baby blues always got me like whoa, and Dreams Need Clara-fication is no exception! Babes, this blue was made for the winter months! It has that bright yet pastel vibe that pairs beautifully with everything in your wardrobe - from lights to darks. Formula is perfection. Yes, it takes multiple coats for full coverage; but it's well worth it because the consistency is brilliant! This is 3 coats.


AVAILABILITY: Ulta.

PRICE: $14.50 for the 4PC Mini Set; $10.50 for each full-size bottle.

China Glaze Ready To Wear FW'18 6PC Micro Mini Nail Kit Swatches + Review

I live for fall nail collections because all things autumn are my jam; but none this season have impressed me as much as China Glaze's Ready To Wear FW'18 6PC Micro Mini Nail Kit. Babes, this collection is the. bomb. dot. com. The shades are brilliant, and I honestly cannot get over how perfect the formulas are. Get ready to be obsessed!

Mustard the Courage is a Mustard Yellow Creme. Le sigh. I don't know what it is about the autumn season, but it makes me covet these ugly pretty, pretty ugly nail colors like whoa; and Mustard the Courage is one of the prettiest ugly colors I have ever laid eyes on! Mustard is massive this season - and Mustard the Courage has got. you. covered. This bad boy is the quintessential shade for fall {and Thanksgiving!}, bringing the haute feel of all things harvest to your fingertips! Formula here was easy peasy lemon squeezy - applying flawlessly in two simple swipes. Babes, this is one beauty you need in your life. Trust. This is 2 coats.


You Don't Know Jacket is a Deep Navy Creme. Gotta love a deep, dark hue for winter, amiright?! You Don't Know Jacket is one of those looks-black-but-isn't navy blues. It's deep and dark and utterly delicious, with a formula that is f-l-a-w-l-e-s-s. A lot of polish clings to the brush, so make sure to wipe it well on the lip of the bottle before applying directly to your nail. This shade gave full coverage in one coat; but I opted for two to make it ultra-vampy! This is 2 coats.


Swatch Out! is a Pale Copper Foil with Silver Shimmer.
Harvest hues are giving me all of the heart eyes rn! Babes, Swatch Out! is my pick for Thanksgiving mani. The color is blindingly beautiful, and def falls into that spicy, pumpkin-apropos category.

Whether you do it for the bling or just want a new take on an autumn mani you legit need Swatch Out! in your life. Trust. This is 2 coats.


Central Parka is an Olive Green Creme. Can I just take a moment to rave over the ultra-amazing formula that is Central Parka?! Like omg babes, this bad boy is pure awesomeness! Central Parka is another one of those ugly pretty/pretty ugly hues that I personally l-o-v-e for sweater weather. As I mentioned before, the formula is pure perfection; but even better is that gorgeous, glossy finish. Absolutely obsessed with this baby! This is 2 coats.


Pleather Weather. Gray Matte. Yes, you read the right; this baby is a matte. Unfortunately...I wasn't feeling it in matte form so I added top coat to give it a glossy touch. Babes, I may like this color, but...the formula! Ugh! Total nightmare! Pleather Weather {love the name btw!} legit has the thinnest formula I have ever seen! We're talking nearly transparent on first coat thin. Yes, it does build nicely; but the color isn't a total wow, so I can't say that it was really worth it. This one's a pass IMO. Womp womp. This is 3 coats.


Throwing Suede is a Putty Creme. Where do I begin? Throwing Suede is an interesting shade. It's not white, it's not nude; it's more of an in-between vanilla hue with a subtle rosy undertone that is v pretty and will capture the hearts of those who love a clean, neutral nail. For me, however, I found it a bit...boring. I'm not going to lie; the formula is good {decent consistency, and quick coverage}, but overall I feel as if it's meh, and just doesn't do anything for me. I think this would look best on a darker skintone, as it would really standout. If you're not a fan of neutrals, pass on this one. Womp womp. This is 2 coats.

NOTD: OPI Grease Nail Lacquer Collection in You're the Shade That I Want

Two coats of OPI Grease Nail Lacquer in You're the Shade That I Want. Raspberry Creme.

I live for shades like this at the start of fall, so you know all I could think was I've got to have it when I spotted it! That rich raspberry hue; that creamy, sumptuous finish. Can I get a yum-o?!

You're the Shade That I Want bridges the gap between playful pink and va-va-voom vixen that makes it feel sophisticated yet sassy. The formula is positively brilliant! You could easily get away with one coat for full coverage; but I opted for two to be on the safe side. Babes, you need this shade in your life!
