THE MUPPETS ROUND UP

Hi Goddesses

A couple of weekends ago, I was lucky enough oreceive my set of The Muppet Collection by OPI, otherwise known as “OPI tries to ctach up with everybody else” lol.

In the UK, these polishes are £10 EACH, but I got the whole set of eBay USA for $64 …. Do the maths, polish prices are crazy in the UK.  It sent my blog a little crazy, and I got a lot of new followers purely because of these posts – so thank you, each and every one of you who has chosen to have a Crumpet everyday J

What I didn’t do originally, is 1 overall post including them all, so here they are now, IN POPULARITY ORDER.  Popularity based on number of post views.  Also, I didn’t swatch Goin Gonzo, Fresh Frog of Bel Air or Warm & Fozzie (just not my bag …. Sorry!)

In first place, with almost 2.5 times the views of its brothers and sisters, we have RainbowConnection, the crazy glitter bomb.

In 2^nd place, the favourite of the discerning polish-aholic, Designer de Better, a metallic suede.

3^rd place goes to one of my personal favourites, Meep Meep Meep, a cranberry crush with amazing glass flecks.

4^th place goes to the 2^nd best glitter in the collection (imo), Excuse Moi! (head toss).  Beautifully named.   As if OPI put Teenage Dream through the blender.

5^th is Divine Swine, a violet and silver glitterama.  I swatched it over lilac, but this will probably look best over black, especially if you are lemming Deborah Lippmann’s Bad Romance.

6^th place is a tie!  Ooooooh!  In the red corner, Wocka Wocka, my disappointment from the Collection, a reddy shimmer that OPI do All The Time ….

…and Gettin MissPiggy With It, the hilariously named red cousin of Divine Swine.

And the 2 that finished last, I do not get it!!  7^th place was one of my unexpected favourites from the bunch, Animal-istic, an orangey flecked masterpiece …

..and bringing up the rear, Pepe’s Purple Passion, a browrple with fabulous flecking.  How the hell is this last lol ???

So there you have it.  I don’t know whether Rainbow Connection is really the favourite, I suspect it was the one people were most interested to see swatches of.  Whatever, I’m just glad OPI finally got their asses back in the game (albeit a lot late).

Thank you for reading – I’m glad you enjoyed these posts, and if you haven’t already, don’t forget to enter the GIVEAWAY !!!!

Enjoy xxx J

OPI – Designer De Better

Hey Goddesses

Another one from the Muppets Collection, and I know a lot of you are lemming this one.

Me ?  not so much.  DDB is a metallic shimmer – shades of icy sand, champagne, bronze and silver, all mixed together in a cold foily blast.   Application is fantastic and smooth, and it just slides on to the nail.

But this is just not my colour at all.  I would never wear it on it’s own, however …. It has a lot of potential as an arty polish and I can imagine how cool it would look splattered or galaxyed or in a sponged mani.

Tonally, it reminds me a lot of Not Like The Movies, but this is not duochrome. 

Sorry, this is a lot like asking me to review a hip-hop CD – it’s just not my thing lol.  Gorgeous, yes; me, no.

Love xx
