My nail polishes from Asos, that is. It only took six days! The box looked like it was about to fall apart but the nail polishes were in good condition. Phew. I can't wait to try them, they're all so pretty! The OPI polishes are teeny tiny as expected but the rest are fine, especially the Barry M polish. It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be.
 |  I was worried that the Barry M polish (Aqua Glitter) and the Models Own polish (Emerald City) would be really similar but in real life they're nothing alike. Aqua Glitter has turquoise microglitter and blue, or aqua, coloured hexagonal glitter. Emerald City just has small square shaped greenish teal glitter in it. My picture makes it look a bit more green that what it really is. The other two Models Own polishes are Scarlet Sparkle and Bluebelle. As far as I can tell, Scarlet Sparkle has the finest glitter of them all, and Bluebelle is pretty fine too. I can't say much about the formula yet, I'll dedicate a post to the swatches later! |
Now here's what I've been really looking forward to. My mini OPI collection! I haven't even tried them on yet and I already love them. Such a shame they're so tiny, I'd love to swatch them all right away but I don't want to waste a single drop! So individual bottle shots will have to do for now.
 I Have A Herring Problem is a gorgeous, shimmery, blueish gray. Or grayish blue? Anyway, on the box it says it includes real silver! The shimmer in it looks golden and silver and blue and pink, but in a very subtle way. I can't wait to try it on! |  Red Lights Ahead... Where? is a coral red. It's not as warm toned as in my pictures, or as muted. It's very bright! Otherwise it's a pretty basic creme. |
 Kiss Me On My Tulips is a hot pink creme, and this time my picture is way off. It looks like a bubblegum pink here but it isn't. It's sort of more fuchsia in real life. Probably not the most unique colour in the world but it'll probably be the first one I'll try because I don't have anything like it yet! |  Pedal Faster Suzi! is a pale pink with plenty of silvery shimmer. I don't have such pale, delicate nail polishes in my collection so I'm looking forward to trying this one and seeing how different it looks compared to all the dark colours I normally wear! |
Another thing that arrived today was my nail foils from eBay! Everything I've ordered from eBay so far has been a very pleasant surprise, mainly because the delivery was so quick and both orders were in envelopes so I didn't have to pick them up at the post office. Yay! Here's pictures, with and without flash so you'll see all the holographic awesomeness of the gold and red foils.
So in case you can't tell, the foils are: gold, champagne, leopard, lace (transparent), holographic gold, rose (transparent), flowers and holographic red. It also included the adhesive and some golden flower rhinestones.
Phew, that was long. Now all I have to do is decide what I should try first!
