Sephora by OPI (discontinued) Crackle Polish

I know it is terrible to show you discontinued products, but I really wanted to see what you all think about crackle polish. Hate it? Love it? I have had a bottle of crackle for ages, but I have never actually used it, until now. The crackle I have was made by Sephora by OPI. They no longer make this brand. It is called Blasted Black. I decided since I am sharing a discontinued polish, I may as well show you two. The polish I layered this over is also from Sephora by OPI and it is called Henna-thing is Possible. 

Swatch and Review of Different Dimension 50 Shades and That Is So Fetch!

Today I have a new to me indie brand to share with you! Different Dimension is a brand I have been following for quite a while, but never purchased, until now! I have two shades to share with you today: That Is So Fetch! and 50 Shades. I'm not really sure what to classify them as, but maybe a glitter topper with a jelly base? The base is pigmented but not entirely a full coverage type of polish. That Is So Fetch! was inspired by Mean Girls character: Gretchen Wieners. So funny! 50 Shades was inspired by 50 Shades of Grey.

Character Inspired: Fiona Goode, American Horror Story

I wanted to start a new series on the blog called "Character Inspired". I've been thinking about this for a long time. While watching one of my favorite shows, American Horror Story, I wondered what type of nails Fiona would like. This turned into a whole series in my mind, what about my other favorite characters? 

Today I start with Fiona Goode, the Supreme of the witch coven of New Orleans. Dangerous, evil and enigmatic, she is a force of nature. She has a very classic style and always opts for black. Her goal in life is to remain Supreme and rule her coven with an iron fist.

Swatch and Review of Sephora by OPI: The Way Tutu His Heart

With the discontinuation of Sephora by OPI, I now have a stockpile of it. There were too many good sales for me to let the deal go by, but now I am teasing you with discontinued polish just forewarning you. I have SOPI The Way Tutu His Heart, which appeared to be a milky white with a sheer finish online, however in real life it is a pinky-white with an opaque finish. This polish reminds me of a white that just got a tiny drop of color.I applied four coats to get this look.

As I was painting my nails I noticed a striking resemblance to Essie Fiji- which I adore. So, I thought I would do a comparison. Below I have Essie Fiji on my pointer and ring fingers and SOPI on my middle and pinky fingers.

 

These two are really similar! I can barely notice a difference in real life, I wouldn't say these are dead on dupes, but they are so close I wouldn't buy both. I prefer Essie to the SOPI. The Way Tutu His Heart had such great prospects, but it was really streaky. Not the endearing- we'll get there- streaky, but the -I hate this polish- streaky. I thought I could get away with three coats, but there was just a streak here or there that drove me crazy. I would actually be really upset if I spent the full amount on this polish, but I got it for $3, so I can't complain. Since it is discontinued, Essie is a great option. Essie is one of those- we'll get there - streaky polishes. The first coat is not pretty but a thicker second coat does it. I added a third coat here just for extra coverage. I do love the color of both, even though it wasn't as sheer as I had hoped, The Way Tutu His Heart is a lovely soft shade that I know will go with anything. Thanks for reading!

Swatch and Review of Sephora by OPI: Henna-thing Is Possible

Today I have Sephora by OPI: Henna-thing Is Possible!  Currently, Sephora just further reduced the Sephora by OPI polish!! Now you can get it on sale 3 for $10. Go get that! I bought mine when it was 50%, so I got Henna-thing Is Possible for $4.50. SOPI always seems to have a great formula and some unique colors. Henna-thing Is Possible is from the Indian Summer Collection 2012.

Macro Shot of the Bottle

This is a bright color for summer! I love how in some light is looks pink or fuchsia and is some it looks purple. It definitely has some blue leaning glitter micro-flecks. I applied two coats of this polish and it covered really well. It had a thinner formula than I am used to, but it evens out great in the second layer. This is one of those polishes that you are happy to apply because it is to wonderful and smooth. I actually wore this color much longer than I usually do and I had no staining. Colors similar to this have left stains on my nails, but this is stain free which is always a plus. Like I said, Sephora by OPI is one sale now for the same price as Sally Hansen polishes, so go get some girl!

Swatch and Review of Sephora by OPI: I Only Shop Vintage

I have a Sephora by OPI polish for you today! This one is called I Only Shop Vintage. This name fits the color so well! I don't know what it is about this color, but it definitely looks vintage doesn't it? It is really a gold with a creamy base, which makes it really unique. Usually gold looks really metallic, but this is really more of a toned down color. All of the photos below were taken outdoors with natural lighting.

 

The formula of this polish was flawless! It was two coats, but it was like butter! I really enjoyed applying this. I didn't take a picture of the brush but it is similar to the regular OPI brushes, just a tad thinner. Sephora has a 50% off Sephora by OPI polish sale going on right now, so get on that! I think I bought this one at TJ Maxx, but it was the same price as the 50% off sale going on right now. Sale price now is $4.50! I bought a few of the SOPIs so I may do a series of swatch and reviews here soon. I enjoyed this a lot, hope you do too! Thanks for reading!
