OPI Miss Universe Review – Crown Me Already!
Crown Me Already!, my third pick from OPI’s Miss Universe collaboration, is a bright silver glitter. There is very fine “glitter dust” as well as larger sized hexes mixed in. It’s like having discoballs on your nails!
Here’s how it looks layered over It’s MY Year, which I reviewed two entries back.
My middle finger has only two coats of “Crown Me Already” on a bare nail. While the density of the glitter builds up with each layer, you will still have some bare spots because the polish body is clear. This is a fun polish for layering thinly on top of other colors or layering on its own for super discoball sparkly goodness.

OPI Miss Universe Review – Swimsuit… Nailed It!
This is the second polish I picked up from OPI’s brand new Miss Universe line. There are blues and then there are blues. Holy moly, this one is bright! Swimsuit… Nailed It! is an electric metallic blue polish with shimmer.
Great formula, easy application. I used 3 coats here. But I’ve gotta warn you, you must must wear a base coat! I didn’t and now I’m paying for it with blueberry-stained nails. >.<
This is what Swimsuit… Nailed It! looks like with 2 coats of Sinful Colors Hottie holo glitter on top. Mm, so much depth and twinkle.
And then I mattefied that baby. I actually think this looks awesome both glossy and matte.
Does this blue resemble any other shades you know of?

It’s MY Year Review from the OPI Miss Universe Collection
I am so excited! I dropped into Ricky’s today on my lunch break and the first thing I saw was the brand new OPI collection for August – a collaboration with Miss Universe. The girl working there informed me that they had just come in yesterday. Squee! The polishes are sassy and fun, and I ended up taking three of the four home.
And you know that I started swatching immediately. See my #1 polish pick from this collection after the jump.

Today’s Haul – Brooklyn Beauty Supply Haul
Today I hit the three beauty supply stores in my neighborhood and came away smiling, with a droolicious haul. It’s amazing to have these resources within walking distance of my apartment but such a danger to my wallet…
Anyway, I must share! I wasn’t exactly planning to buy 11 polishes, but I found so many beautiful things. Feast your eyes… after the jump!
