OPI: Polly want a laquer

Hello spring nail colors! Although I wear all colors all year round, now it’s officially time for brighter and pastel shades. I even ordered myself a green polish, but it hasn’t arrived yet, so we’ll talk about it next time (if it arrives).

Anyway today I want to show you something from last year’s spring Fiji collection from OPI. The shade’s name is ˝Polly want a laquer˝ and it’s to me true lavender. I blindly bought some lilac-ish shades before, but they always somehow managed to disappoint me. They were even too blue or too violet/pink and never lavender. So I wanted to own this shade so badly and pre-ordered from abroad. Of course it stuck in mail somewhere and waited for it extra long…



Let’s get to the point. This is cream shade. Color is bright and definitely not boring or too vibrant, so it still looks sophisticated and it’s office friendly. Formula is easy to work with but thin, so you might need up to three coats for fully opaque color. Wearing time is good, average for OPI. I’m very glad I picked this; it’s one of my favorite nail polishes, so I would strongly recommend it. It is simply color that makes me happy.

I find OPI collections from this year to be somehow boring. Not a single color from ˝Lisbon˝ or upcoming ˝Grease˝ collection hasn’t impressed me enough to buy it. Older collections were much better and included original colors, I sometimes find something unique enough to buy.

Wishes

  It is time for another wish list or as I like to say it – things that recently caught my attention. Honestly, this is just a small fraction, but I’m too embarrassed to everything out there. The center of the list represents a linen lounge shirt from Intimissimi . I bought one last year and I am super pleased with it. It keeps me cool during these crazy tropical nights and feels very comfortable. I also very much enjoy their silk shirts, but the buttons are simply too annoying sometimes … Now, let’s go up and right to Dior. Another blush? Yes, please! Dior yet again reformulated their famous Backstage Rosy Glow blushes and added some new shades. I always desperately wanted to buy the lavender one, but it was not available in our country. But now something completely different caught my attention – muted, peachy, beige shade – Toffee . I swatched it already and it is pretty, but packed with gold glitter, so I need to try it again to be fully convinced. Smooth&Glow...

Dior Forever Glow Maximizer - Peachy

Apparently this year I have been obsessed with highlighters and blushes because it is time to review another one – Forever Glow Maximizer by Dior in the shade PEACHY. If the Star Glow Filter is very subtle, this is not. It is not tacky and can be beautifully blended, but it’s a real highlighter that serves its purpose. Peachy – light, golden peach with gold and pink shimmer. On my light skin tone, I often wear this as a blush, because I think it works better on me like this. It gives that slight amount of warmth to my face and a subtle golden sheen. It can be built up, but it can also look too much. Now when I’m getting a bit darker I love to put it on top of my bronzer or/and use it as an eyeshadow to achieve a light monochromatic summer look.  Indoor light Sunlight This is a great and versatile product, but I still prefer powder versions of Dior highlighters, they are just easier to work with and blend more effortlessly. I think that with liquid highlighters you always need to be...
