Ciate Caviar Mini Bar

A few days ago, I posted the Ciate Mini Mani Month, and today I have the Caviar Mini Bar set; which is also no longer available. The Caviar Mini Bar set contains 4 polishes and 4 caviar pearls.

 The Caviar Pearls Candy Shop and Prom Queen was also in the Mini Mani Month set therefore I just used the same swatch.

The formula for these also weren't good. The polishes had wonky brushes so application was a bit tough. I don't know if it's because of the short brushes but I had a very hard time applying these. The only one I like from this set is the hologram caviar pearls. Other than that I feel like I've wasted my money on both of these sets. I like the idea of the caviar pearls, but I just really wished they lasted longer.

Well this is all I have for today. Enjoy your weekend!

Ciate Mini Mani Month

I can honestly say, the formula for these kind of sucked. Some of the brushes were a little wonky so application was kind of rough. I don't really remember how much I paid for this set, but I believe it was somewhere around $50. And I must say, it was not worth it at all. So if you missed out on this set, you're fine. The colors aren't unique, and well the caviar pearls don't even last a day. They fall off even after allowing a long dry time for it. 

Well this is all I have for today, I'll be posting the Caviar Mini Bar set I bought also in a few days.

OPI Couture de Minnie Collection Swatches and Review

Hey everyone! Today I have a very exciting collection to share with you. OPI's Couture de Minnie Collection! Last year, OPI did a Vintage Minnie Mouse Collection of pinks and reds, and once I saw that they were doing Couture de Minnie I was extremely excited. Not to mention I really love that picture of her on the displays!

She looks so classy with a big attitude! I love it. This collection consists of 3 polishes, 1 liquid sand, and 1 glitter.

Chic from Ears to Tail is a bubblegum pink with very subtle hints of silver shimmer. 2 coats. This is a cute pink to wear.

A Definite Moust Have is a coral like pink that have a pearly shimmer finish to it. 2 coats

Minnie Style is a white, red, pink hex glitters in a clear base. I put this over A Definite Moust Have but I think it might've looked better over Chic from Ears to Tails. This is a unique glitter, I definitely don't have anything like this in my stash.

Innie Minnie Mightie Bow is a gorgeous red shimmer. 2 coats. Remember my addiction with red? This just tops the shimmer reds in my collection. It's stunning in person.

Magazine Cover Mouse is red liquid sand with pink and gold shimmers. 2 coats. Remember when I said Jinx was my favorite liquid sand polish? Well I changed my mind, because this one is. I love the pink shimmers in this one!

OPI did a fantastic with this collection in my opinion. I liked every single color especially the liquid sand and the glitter. The formula for these were excellent like all the OPI polishes, and I had no issues with application. I was excited for this collection, and definitely was not let down.

What do you guys think of this collection? Will you be getting? Which is your favorite?
