Spotted in NZ: Recent Orly Displays

I spotted these both at Farmers a last week. The Hope and Freedom collection has been out for a while now, while Mash Up is a new release.  I was a bit shocked to see the price of these has gone up to $24.99 now (they used to be $22.99). I tend to only buy Orly from Farmers when they are buy one get one free. Hopefully they will have another one of those sales soon.

row is out of place and not part of this collection)

Spotted in NZ: New Essie Displays

Essie recently started being stocked in Farmers. I spotted this display about a month ago at Farmers on Lambton Quey in Wellington (I haven't seen it at the other Farmers at Cuba Street in Wellington though).  The polishes are retailing for $22.99 each.

Spotted in NZ: Sally Hansen Lustre Shine Colletion

I spotted the new Sally Hansen Lustre Shine collection in Farmers on Friday. This is a collection of duochrome polishes, similar to the China Glaze Bohemian Collection. 

These polishes are "An intense and radiant nail lacquer infused with real silver. Inspired by the lustrous color flip of molten, liquid metal and the iridescence of a peacock feather. Creates an iridescent effect on the nail."

These are retailing for NZ$12.99, which isn't bad because when I was in America last year I saw these for about US$7.99.  However do note that these bottles are only 10mls (regular polishes are 15mls)

Spotted in NZ: OPI Couture de Minnie Collection

I spotted the OPI Couture de Minnie Collection in Farmers yesterday.

This is the second collection OPI has done with Minnie Mouse, with the last one, OPI Vintage Minnie Mouse Collection, being released at the same time last year.

OPI Couture de Minnie Collection

This collection has 5 polishes. One of which is glitter and one is a liquid sands polish.

Left to Right: Chic From Ears To Tail, A Definite Moust-Have, Minnie Style, 

Innie Minnie Mightie Bow, Magazine Cover Mouse

These are NZ$26.99 at Farmers. But can always be found cheaper online.

I am the biggest Disney fan, and need to own every polish that is even remotely Disney related. However I am sitting on the fence about this collection.  I think I will end up getting them just because of the names, but not so much because of the colours or finishes.

Lots of Love

Spotted in NZ: MAC Baking Beauties

"Exquisite. Scrumptious. Utterly indulgent. The artistry of cake decoration is a world filled with tempting creation, as is our colour collection inspired by the most couture of cakes. Gorgeous shades, from Mooncake and Pistachio Crème to Pink Buttercream, transform into a succulent showcase of confections for eyes, face, lips and nails." (from the MAC website)

Kirkaldie and Stains in Wellington held an event last week in store to celebrate the release of the MAC Baking Beauties collection.  Complete with painted lady (she is supposed to look like a cake).

Picture from the Kirkaldie & Stains Facebook page

The Collection has three nail polishes:

• Blue Velvet - Light periwinkle blue (Cream)
• Confectionery - Light blue pink (Cream)
• Pistachio Creme - Light teal mint (Cream)

These are not overlly unique, but I adore the baking theme.

Spotted in NZ: OPI The Bond Girls collection

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

I spotted these in Farmers last Monday.  The Bond Girls collection is the 2013 bright scollections from OPI. All 6 shades are the new textured liquid sands polishes. 

 

• Solitaire: This diamond-sparkling white is totally engaging
• Pussy Galore: This light feminine pink has the purrrfect amount of shimmer
• Tiffany Case: A classic light blue worth investigating
• Vesper: A mysterious and intriguing deep purple
• Honey Ryder: Take a ryde on the wild side in this shimmery gold
• Jinx: This mesmerizing matte coral has lucky sparkle

Jinx is by far my favourite, but alas was not able to come home with me (unfortunately I am banned from buying any more polishes for the foreseable future).
These are retailing for NZ$26.90 in Famers. 

Lots of Love

Spotted in NZ: OPI the Great and Powerful Oz

I spotted these in Farmers yesterday. The Great and Powerful Oz Collection. This is the 2013 Soft shades collection from OPI, that also features one of the new liquid sand polishes.

I had already picked up the three polishes I wanted from this collection two three weeks ago at the importers clearance for NZ$12 a polish (instead of NZ$27 at Farmers)

There has been a lot of hoo ha on the internet about When Monkeys Fly! which is the gold glitter polish. The large gold pieces of glitter curl and do not sit flat on the nail. OPI has offered to replace bottles of this with another polish from this collection (but I am pretty sure that that offer is only open to those in America). So if I was you, I would stay away from When Monkeys Fly! in New Zealand as you will surely be disappointed.

Spotted in NZ: Orly Flash Glam FX

Thanks to (the other) Lisa who sent me this picture last week of the Orly Flash Glam Collection in Farmers.
I like to wait until Farmers has a buy one get one free when I buy Orly polishes.  I mean who doesn't like getting stuff for free :).

Spotted in NZ: OPI Germany Collection

Usually we are alot further behind the rest of the world when it comes to things like fashion (it also doesnt help that we are experiencing the opposite weather season to most of the world) so I was quite suprised to spot the OPI Germany collection in a chemist yesterday.

Are you going to be getting any of these?

If you in New Zealand head to your local Unichem/Life/Amcal pharmacy because they have buy 2 and get a free gift (one of which is another free bottle of polish - so its like buying 3 for the price of 2 - and most chemists still have OPI cheaper than Farmers does now)

I spotted the OPI New York City Ballet collection in a pharmacy a few weeks a go. I have only seen them  in chemists, not yet in Farmers. This collection has 5 pastel jelly polishes and one glitter top coat.

Into the Night - This perfect midnight blue was made for prowling.

Call Me Gwen-ever - Girlfriend, be sure to pick up when this urgent coral calls.

My Boyfriend Scales Walls - Climb new heights with this cityscape white

Number One Nemesis  - Show your metal in this sparkling nickel.

Shatter the Scales - Deep green shimmer Shatter coat inspired by graffiti art

I cant wait until my no buy ends to get some of these.  I only have to wait three more months until I am in Canada and America when I can buy up large. No buys are hard, and so many nice polishes have been released since I started it in March.

Lots of Love
