Obsessed, listen! EDM music videos never do their songs justice though, so don't bother watching it.
Since Sephora was having a 20% off sale, and they hardly ever have sales, I bought myself some goodies. I didn't even know about this collection, and I was very excited to have discovered it. I LOVE Betsey Johnson's designs. I love the pinup girl styled dresses, but of course those are far out of my budget as of now. I am also obsessed with her jewelry, but I have yet to buy any for myself. For my mom on the other hand, I picked her out 2 pairs of gorgeous teardrop crystal earrings. Anyways, I bought the mini set for this collection, and this is the first set of Sephora By OPI polishes I've ever gotten. I was very pleased! Note, for all of these I did not use a topcoat, so they're not at their glossiest.

| Sephora By OPI Betsey XOX |
This is Sephora By OPI Betsey XOX. It's a pale dusty pink creme, and I love it! I mean, this would definitely look better on someone who was tanner than me, but I don't care and I'll still wear it. This was really opaque and it covered in 1 coat, but I used a second coat because my nails are pretty stained.

| Sephora By OPI Alley Cat |
Sephora By OPI Alley Cat is a fuchsia creme. This color looks pretty generic pink, but when I look back at my collection, I don't have anything that close to this. But that's looking at MY humble collection! It's a magenta/fuchsia, that is all. It actually looks more purple in person, cameras are really weird. Pretty color, and also same as Betsey XOX it was opaque in 1 coat, but I needed a second coat for good measure.

| Sephora By OPI Yellow My Name Is Betsey |
This is Sephora By Opi Yellow My Name Is Betsey, and wow! It's a daffodil yellow creme, and I don't usually go for yellows by this is so typical Betsey Johnson yellow that I am loving it! It's not too warm-toned, but it's bright. This is also opaque in 1 coat, but I used a second coat to even out the color.

| Sephora By OPI Son Of A Gun |

| Sephora By OPI Son Of A Gun shimmer |
Sephora By OPI Son Of A Gun is a dark turquoise with a lot of shimmer. It really reminds me of OPI I Have A Herring Problem from their Holland Collection, but unfortunately I don't have that for a comparison. It's definitely got a warm tone like it's Holland Collection cousin, and it's showing a lot more gray than it really is. It's more blue in person, my camera just sucks! The color totally reminds me of those faded jeans that have a yellow tinge in their faded areas. This was the sheerest in the collection, and I used 3 coats here. That bald spot is just because my fingers touched while it was wet...oops!

| Sephora By OPI Too Too Turq |

| Sephora By OPI Too Too Turq shimmer |
Sephora by OPI Too Too Turq is a turquoise creme, with a subtle green shimmer. I was so impressed and surprised by this one! I totally did not expect that green shimmer until after I put it on. I tried really hard to capture it, but the sun was already gone by the time I started swatching. I will probably take another picture of this when I wear this again, and the sun is out. This shimmer was actually noticeable indoors too, it was just not a good day to take pictures. This was opaque in 1 coat, but I used a second coat because I can.

| Sephora By OPI Pushing Your Luck |
This is Sephora By OPI Pushing Your Luck. Oh my god I died. I just love my reds so much...my precious. This is a red jelly/creme; 1 coat looks like a jelly, 2 coats looks like a creme. It's a vibrant red, perfect pinup!
The formula for all of these were perfect! I've never used Sephora By OPI before, so I don't know if they're always like this...but these all went on so perfectly. I actually did these in such a rush, trying to beat the nightfall because I got this collection after I came back from work and I was too excited about it. I think I spent at most 30 seconds applying each color, and they came out so clean. My favorites would probably be Yellow My Name Is Betsey and Too Too Turq. But overall, I am really liking this whole set, toodles!
Love your swatches, I think my favorites are Son of a Gun and My name is Betsey. Btw, I nominated you for "The Versatile Blogger" award, details are posted on my blog.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you! I will respond to it when I get time!
DeleteSon of a Gun and Yellow My Name Is Betsey are the ones that interest me the most. I'm always looking for a good yellow and I never seem to find one. Thanks for swatching!
ReplyDeleteNo problem!
DeleteWow, I actually really love the pale pink, Betsey XOX. I wouldn't have thought that would be the winner for me, but it's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI agree, it's really great! I definitely don't own a color like that already and I can't stop staring at the picture myself haha
