OPI Swiss Collection

Source: Google Images

I know this collection has been out for a few weeks now (I think the release date was Aug 4) and I actually had no intentions on getting any new nail polishes after summer was over. But, lol, I was at Ulta the other day redeeming some beauty reward points and saw these in person...OMG, they are so pretty. And there are tons of colors in this one, so it took a little while for me to choose. I ended up picking up 5 of the colors:
 From left to right: Yodel Me on My Cell, The Color to Watch, Diva of Geneva, Cuckoo for this Color, Ski Teal We Drop

I'll try to post pics of these on during the next couple of weeks...I'm not changing my polishes as often as I used to due to a skin allergy I'm battling at the moment :( But I will survive!

Did you get anything from this collection? Any faves so far?

Take care,
A.

FOTD: An Ode to Leopard Luxe

Happy Tuesday!
MAC's Fabulous Felines Collection hits stores on Thursday, and I still don't know if I'm passing on it or hauling. If I do get anything, it won't be much (I swear!), because I really want to work on building my collection of other brands (Nars and MUFE, namely).

I happen to have found MAC Ochre Style e/s last week on eBay, and decided to give it a go today. By the time I was done with the look, it reminded me of the colors in the Leopard Luxe sub-collection of FF (specifically the Leopard Luxe quad and Drive Me Wild lippie), which makes me even more unsure as to whether I will get any products from it.

Here's the look. Thanks for checking it out :) Let me know if you think I should get them, lol.

Side note: I think the flash is washing out the colors a bit. It is much darker/smokier in person. Hmm, will have to play around with the settings again, I think...
