Varnish Friday- Fifty Shade Of Grey Collection

Back in December I did a Blogmas post on my nail varnish wants (post will be linked here) and within this post, I told you guys I wanted the new Fifty Shades of Grey OPI Collection which was released on the 1st January this year in connection with the release of the Fifty Shades of Grey movie which will be released on the 14th February.

As soon as I knew the collection had been released, I went onto Amazon and ordered the mini collection instead of the full sized as I don't go through full sized nail polish's quick enough and I thought it would be better and cheaper to get the mini sizes.

These six shades are so beautiful in person and the camera doesn't do them all justice!  Within the collection you get four Crèmes, three grey and one red, you also get a very shimmery silver and a glitter polish.  I haven't tried all of them, in fact I have only tried one and will be reviewing them individually throughout Varnish Friday.

My Silk Tie- This colour is a shimmery silver and I knew that this would be my favourite.

Dark Side of the Mood- This is a very dark grey crème and looks so beautiful.

Romantically Involved- This is a very beautiful red crème and would look great during the winter months as well as special occasions.

Embrace the Gray- This is the only colour I have tried in the collection.  It is a medium shade of grey crème that to me has a hint of blue running through it.

Shine for Me- This is the only glitter in the collection and is a clear base with small holographic glitter running through it.  This would look great over the top of any colour especially Embrace the Gray.

Cement the Deal- This is the lightest grey crème in the collection and I also think that Shine for Me would look good over the top.

All of these are very unique and would look great amongst any OPI collection as they are very different to other colours.

Have you got the collection?  Which one is your favourite?  

Bye for now.

Blogmas day 17 : Nail Polish Wants 2015

I don't often wear nail varnish/polish but when I do, I tend to wear nail polish with a slight shimmer as that is what I have found suits my skin tone better however there is a new collection that is due to be released on the 1st of January (or so I have researched,  correct me if I am wrong )  just in time for the highly anticipated (or at least for me anyway) Fifty Shades of Gray Movie and I am dying to get my hands on this collection.

http://www.reallyree.com/2014/11/opi-fifty-shades-of-grey.html#lightbox/0/

The collection has a nice selection of grey colours and a nice red.  There are a few shades that have really caught my eye.  There are six to choose from and if you are an OPI virgin (like me) chances are you will want them all.  Each bottle will retail at £11.95 however they will also be selling a mini collection of the entire set at £14.50.  

Each shade has a name that has some reference to the film/book.  

• My Silk Tie
• Romantically Involved
• Dark Side of the Mood 
• Shine for Me
• Cement the Deal 
• Embrace the Gray 

All shade names correspond to the order in the picture.

The shades I am really excited for are Romantically Involved and My Silk Tie although I will be purchasing the whole collection (whether in full size or mini is still to be decided)  From what I can tell, layering up Shine On Me with a couple of the other nail polishes in the collection will look stunning and it is a slight shame (in my opinion) that they haven't released them sooner as Shine On Me and Romantically Involved could be good Christmas colours.

What Nail Polish collections are you most excited in 2015?

Bye for now.
