Massive haul! (pic heavy)

I got these from an eBay seller that doesn't really sell a lot on eBay anymore. I just emailed them my wish list and they tell me out of that, what is in stock and what isn't. I then send my final list to them and they sent me a PayPal invoice. Pretty easy! The polishes are a little bit dearer than the likes of nailetc and some other ebay sellers but you do get FREE, FAST worldwide shipping! Well, as long as you buy 10 or more polishes. One (out of 27) did break in transit so they sent out a new one straight away.  It took just over one week to get to me and one week exactly to get the replacement bottle. It was the first time i bought from them and i'm definitely happy and i would buy from them again! Anyway, on to the polishes!
I had a crappy time trying to photograph these polishes, i have no photography skills whatsoever! and a crappy camera, in fact, in the end these were taken on my iPhone, along with taking these when the sun was going down! So sorry in advance!

Wow, that was all of them! I haven't had much of a play around with them yet but i can't wait to use them! I'm also still waiting on more polishes to come. Yes, more! haha 
If anyone wants details on the eBay seller just sent me an email. Also, just letting you all know, I bought these with my own money and i am not affiliated with this company. I just wanted to let you all in on this awesome seller and i'll be buying from them again in the future.

Enjoy the rest of your day,
Bye for now! xo

OPI Nice Stems Collection!

I received one of my massive orders yesterday in the mail! So excited for it to arrive and early at that! I wasn't expecting it until Monday at the earliest! In that order, I got the OPI Nice Stems polishes. 
At first i didn't want them all but definitely wanted Come to Poppy. The collector in me, was saying "buy them all" even though i would never wear Play the Peonies, and Be a Dahlia Won't You didn't look that unique and might even have a dupe out there somewhere! So i ended up getting the Mini's. Problem solved? Not really, i kinda regret it. I really should have just got a full sized Come to Poppy. Don't get me wrong the others are nice colours too, but i just wouldn't wear them! At least those ones are only mini's i guess. Mini's are also a PITA! They really are just too small which means the brush is too small and kind of a waste, in my honest opinion. Anyway, on to the pics! 


L-R: I Lily Love You, Play the Peonies, Come to Poppy, Be a Dahlia Won't You.


Play the Peonies, 3 coats then PTP with 1 coat of I Lily Love You.
Be a Dahlia Won't You, 2 coats then BDWY with 1 coat ILLY
Come to Poppy, 2 coats then CTP with 1 coat ILLY
I Lily Love you, 1 coat then I Lily Love You 3 coats.



Play the Peonies is a very pale pinky pearl colour, it was a little bit streaky which you can see and it also didn't help that i was using the mini brush. Not that fond of this colour and i don't really like I Lily Love you over it. It looks a streaky mess.

Be A Dahlia Won't You is a shimmery fuchsia in a jelly like base. This one has grown on me a lot since owning it but i have colours similar (but not dupes) to this.



Come to Poppy is my absolute favourite! The one i wanted from the start. It is a pink coral with lots of shimmer. I really love this. It could be that i don't have many corals and i was on the hunt for corals but this is a beauty! I think the must have if you were to get just one from the collection!

I Lilly Love You is of course better used as a layering top coat. It has flakes not quite holo, rainbow glitter of different shapes and sizes all suspended in a sheer pink jelly.

Hope you all enjoy your Thursday! Bye for now!
