Justin Bieber's One Less Lonely Girl Collection - Nicole by OPI

 





When I heard Justin Bieber was teaming up with Nicole by OPI I was so excited!  I waited a (really) long time to pick up a color, though, because my only experience with Nicole by OPI wasn't fantastic.  Finally, I saw "My Lifesaver" and just had to have it! 





 
The One Less Lonely Girl collection has a bunch of cute colors- with a lot of purple since that's the Biebs' favorite!  The names of the colors all relate to him/his songs in some way so it's fun just to read them!  While the names and colors are really cute, the quality is not that great.  It chipped fairly quickly (granted, I didn't use a top coat) and is a little darker than it appears in the bottle.  The "perfect stroke" brush is not so perfect, either.  It left me with streaky and uneven coverage!  Overall, though, the colors are so fun and bright that I can look past the brush and definitely buy another.

OPI


After (kind-of) stopping the awful habit of biting my nails, the only way to keep my nails growing is by painting them! The very first nail polish I used on my new, more lengthy nails was OPI. In '"Sheer" Your Toys', to be exact. Now, about six months later, I'm hooked. Although kind of pricey, their still worth it, if you ask me. Usually a bottle will put you back about $8. However, sometimes you find things when you're not looking for them. Last night, my mom and I were walking around Bed Bath & Beyond when we came across the clearance section. (our favorite :P) What else did we find but... OPI! Woohoo! And only 3.99! So now I'm wearing 'Lincoln Park at Midnight and, although I don't usually go for dark colors, I do love this dark purple. My summer favorite, though, 'Let them Eat Rice Cake' because it looks great with my tan! Check eBay too; you can always find good OPI bargains there.


Despite the cost, between my mom and I, we've acquired about ten different bottles:

-"Sheer" Your Toys

-Lincoln Park at Midnight

-Breathe Life

-It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's OPI

-Pillow Talk

-My Kind of Brown

-Nantucket Mist

-You're Such a Kabuki Queen

-25 Colorful Years

-Let Them Eat Rice Cake

What's your favorite OPI color? Comment!

Grrrr...tiger nails!


New obsession alert! Watching nail polish tutorials on Youtube.
Have you seen these girls? Man, they're good! (Most of them, anyway.) They can do just about anything on nails. Here's my attempt at painting tiger stripes on Lizzie's nails. What do you think? Have you tried any nail art lately? Let us know! We'll post pix!
