Back At It

So if you couldn't tell, I abandoned this blog after one post because honestly, I got lazy & busy. But I'm going to try and post often. The reason I came back was mostly because of my two ratchet friends, Joanne & Toni. I wanted to talk about how much I hate love them (; Jk, that would take forever to explain. But I wanted to talk about hanging out with both on them this past Wednesday.

I've met Toni before in a previous hangout at Disneyland with another girl from IG, Marinette (@manetteism). After that day of hanging out with them, I already thought Toni was sweet, ratchet & hilarious. And I couldn't wait to hang out with her again.

So Joanne was actually the one who brought up the idea of all of us hanging out together on one of Toni's previous instagram photos, she saw that Toni & I hung out before at Disneyland. She told us she wanted to go with us, & well from there, we exchanged numbers and planned to hang out the following week. We're all passholders, so why not go to Disneyland. First thought when I saw Joanne was that she was tall & I was digging her more edgier and grungy outfit. Toni also came in a more edgier outfit, apparently I didn't get the memo. LOL. Jk. Right off the bat, we all got along really well & I felt like I've known them forever. We just automatically clicked, which is weird especially considering the fact that we only discovered each other was because of instagram & our common interest in fashion. My only regret was not meeting both these lovely & sweet ladies sooner, nonetheless I'm grateful to have gotten the chance to bond with them. And I'll tell you right now, you'll definitely be seeing more of them around on my blog <3 "S4S RATCHETS"

OPI Holiday 2012 Skyfall Collection Swatches

A Ulta just recently opened nearby and the only reason I discovered it was because I was going to watch a movie with my boyfriend. After the movie, we decided to go in. The first thing I see is the OPI Holiday 2012 Skyfall Collection (based from the 007 movie coming out on November 9th). There were a lot of gorgeous colors, but I ended up picking up 3 out of the 12, each one retailing for $8.50. I picked up Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies & On Her Majesty's Secret Service (shown below from left to right)


Goldeneye is probably one of the most gorgeous gold glittery nail polishes I've ever seen. It was the first to catch my eye. It only took two coats of this polish to make it completely opaque. This is definitely a perfect polish for the holiday season.

Tomorrow Never Dies is a royal purple color with some blue and pink undertones. It has a nice rich texture. If you apply one coat, it looks streaky, I recommend two coats for this polish.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service is a silvery blue/grey-ish teal with a ton of blue and gold shimmer. It takes about three to four coats to get it opaque. However, I do love this shade nonetheless. 

And in addition to their entire collection, they released The Man With The Gold Gun. It is a real 18K gold flakey top coat that comes in a limited edition gold bottle. Retailing for around $28 to $30.

Overall, I think this is a great holiday collection. However I would say that not all these polishes are unique. They do have some amazing colors though.
