OPI: Pirates Of The Caribbean On Stranger Tides

Arrrrg! Tis be a real swash buckling affair as OPI celebrates Disney's newest recruit to the Pirate family. Ahoy there - nautical nails lie ahead!

All pictures taken with flash

Silver Shatter Top Coat - a glittery silver metallic shatter

Skull & Glossbones - I love this shade! A grey putty tone that applies like a dream and is a far cry from the standard reds and corals seen in most OPI collections. Definitely one to check out.

Steady As She Rose - a dainty lilac based rose pink.

Sparrow Me The Drama - a bright and vivid yet dusky toned pink. The colour pulls slightly more purple in real life. I expect many dupes will be floating around.

Planks A Lot - a bold creme purple

Stranger Tides - a truly wonderfully quirky murky green. Tis the colour of a rocky sea!

Mermaid's Tears - I can't wait to get my hands on a bottle of this emerald gorgeousness. I know many are bored of the jade trend, but I still absolutely love it!

So, me hearties - what treasures are you tempted to behold? Fancy the whole booty!?

All bottles are priced at £10.50 - or as a quad mini set for £12.75

OPI: Femme De Cirque S/S2011

Gorgeous, delicate, feminine shades for subtle but ever so pretty fingers...

I Juggle Men - a sheer icy white packed with tiny specks of elegant glitter

So Many Clowns...So Little Time - an ultra pale cream with the loveliest, albeit it very light hint of pink

In The Spot Light Pink - super soft candy pink. I love this shade!

Step Right Up - a sheer pink that works perfectly for french manicures

To some this collection may be bland, but I'm seriously digging these fresh spring shades. Any colours grabbing your fancy?

All shades available priced at £10.50, or as a quad mini set for £12.75

OPI & Katy Perry - Last Friday Night

If glittery nails are your thing then stop what you're doing now! Katy Perry's only gone and made every sparkle fanatic's dream...!

Last Friday Night is a limited edition glitter packed blue released exclusively as part of O.P.I's latest collaboration with Mrs Russell Brand. Thick to apply, the colour and sparkle take around 3 coats to achieve a desirable level of Las Vegas style glamour. The longevity isn't great, but for a special event, date night or evening out with friends it's the perfect party shade. I'm not a huge fan of glitter based varnishes - mainly because they're such a pain to remove - yet after sporting this formula for the last few days my mind has most definitely been swayed. Nice one, Katy!

Last Friday Night - 3 coats

Last Friday Night is available from selected OPI retailers and amazon.co.uk for £10.50

OPI & Katy Perry - Not Like The Movies

I like popstars.

I like nail lacquer .

So I BLOOMIN LOVE OPI MEETS KATY PERRY!

Launching in January 2011, this glittery quartet of Katy inspired shades are showbiz glamour to the core. I've been playing about with 'Not Like The Movies' a shimmering metallic silver packed full of glitz.

This polish is one of the better sparkle based lacquers I've applied. Taking around 3 coats to achieve a solid colour, the finish is reasonably smooth and a definite pro at catching the light. The one trait that must be mentioned though is it's ability to change colour in a flash - and I mean a flash. Throughout the day my nails appeared silver, lilac, green (as the above bottle shows) and grey - ideal for all you Katy like cosmetic chameleons. I love the playful qualities of this shade and the silver tones make it the perfect option for a slightly more grown up glitter.

'Not Like The Movies' is available from OPI retailers in the new year priced at £9.95
