Pepe's Purple Passion - OPI Muppets Collection

I was so excited to try out some of the fun colors in the OPI Muppets Collection. Shown here is Pepe's Purple Passion. It's not as purple as the name implies, but more of a burgundy wine color. In the bottle it looked like a lot of shimmer or sparkle but that didn't show up as much on the nails. It's not a super shiny finish but I liked it a lot...and it lasted so long without chipping!! The picture below is two coats of polish, which I think is plenty because it went on really thick.  If you want to see all the colors in the Muppet Collection, check out this post here.

Khloé Had a Little Lam-Lam - Kardashian Kolors

Here's a picture of "Khloe Had a Little Lam-Lam" from the Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kolor collection. You can read about the entire collection here. I have to say, I really like the Nicole By OPI shades that have the angled brush, which this collection does not have. I had a hard time for some reason with the brush in this bottle and kept getting it on my skin. This is 2 coats and the color reminds me a little of "Ski Teal We Drop", which is one of my favorites. I really like the color but I have to say, it was messy taking it off. I ended up chipping it really quickly so it was only on for 2 days and I still had faint greenish color stains on my nails.

OPI - Holland Collection

OPI is launching their Holland Collection for Spring/Summer 2012.  The collection consists of 12 shades offering a mixture of sophisticated neutrals and highly-pigmented brights. The collection is inspired by the Holland's range of stunning shades - vivid tulips, windmill-dotted hillsides and bustling canals.

I'm not sure I've been this excited about a collection since the Touring America collection!! Check out the blues and purples!! Can't wait for Spring!
