OPI Holland collection

I recently went o ULTA looking for Butter London Disco Biscuit and ended up stumbling into the new OPI Holland collection instead.
I wasn't super impressed by the shades overall. Luckily though there were swatches right there, so I was able to see the actual colors. While I was unimpressed by the bottles, I fell in love with the pastel pink (Pedal faster Suzi!). This is not the average pastel; it's a beautiful light pink with a subtle frosty silver shimmer. So pretty!


This is the only photo in which the silver shimmer is a little visible.
I liked the formula, it goes on smoothly and i gives you good coverage in 2 to 3 swatches. Actually 2 are plenty, but I put on a third coat just because I'm super picky!
Also, I've had it on for 5 days now and it hasn't chipped at all, it looks still absolutely perfect.
I also got Kiss me on my tulips, but I haven't used it yet.

Zoya Mimi+Maisie

Today I went to get a 'proper' mani. I always bring my own color with me, otherwise I feel like my collection is going to waste.
The colors I picked are both from Zoya: I have two coats of Mimi, and one coat of Maisie.
I love it!

The pictures don't do the colors justice. The flecks look green in the photos, while they're actually blue. It's really gorgeous, one of my favorite combinations ever.
