Nicole by OPI - Dream Maker

The picture really doesn't capture the sparkly silver shimmer shot through with goldish multi-colour particles. It's a really fine shimmer bordering on glitter - meaning you don't see big chunks but you can, by staring hard, pick out the individual particles.

I have two coats on my nails in the pic and this shade to me seems like a really fun way to wear a nude. It's not so bling as to seem juvenile (but I think teenage girls will like this one too), it's work-appropriate because it's a quite colour, but at ht same time it's young and pretty.

It's a cool pink so it makes the whites of your nails look whiter. It's sheerness means that chips don't show up that easily - but overall it lasts about 5 days with a top coat. 

I'm really enjoying this one and using it all the time. I think it'd also look really pretty over another shade.

Nicole by OPI is a more affordable range of polishes and this one I picked up in Sasa for about HKD75.

OPI in Meep-Meep-Meep


Part of the muppet collection, Meep-Meep-Meep is a gorgeous sparkly deep pinky red. Two coats to opaque.

I always wondered if OPI was worth the price tag but this shade and another gorgeous metallic shade (Designer de-better) have convince me that it may be. At least the sparkly shades.

They dry fast and last a full week on my fingers with a base coat and top coat.

I picked it up with Syen in a buy two get one free deal. Usual price is HKD$89.

Edit: Whoops ladies, it seems I made a mistake. We paid HKD$88 per bottle with the deal, it's usually HKD$132 in Mannings. However Nicole OPI is about HKD$80 in Sasa and if you look in Bonjour you can score bottles for HKD$68 or less (welcome to HK pricing)
