Inaugural

Hey there interwebs! I enjoy painting my nails (or poisoning us all with formaldehyde as my brother would say), reading, and baking cupcakes. So, in the common interests of humanity I have decided to post my experiences and opinions with the products I buy, read, and create. So voila! To formally christen the cupcakenailnerd I present my series on...

Sephora by OPI's The Glimmer Wonderland Eighteen Piece Mini Nail Colour Set!

I passed by this lovely collection while attempting to buy something for less than 25$ in Sephora with a birthday giftcard. Don't get excited, it retails for 48$ but for the price you get a lot of colors and quite a bit of polish too. Apparently an 81$ value and it includes some great colors.

Starting us off I tried out Already Famous, probably because the name reminded me of a favorite movie (Almost Famous, check it out!). It appeared from the bottle to be a nearly taupe base with silvery microglitter. Though it wasn't as matte as I hoped it is probably my favorite polish so far.

This is the first time I wore it. I've actually worn it twice since, mostly because my brother has placed a limit on my polishings to a weekly basis and I want to make each time worth it. No worries, I get around that ban easily enough (love you Alex!)

Because of the poor picture quality it may be difficult to see; the finished product is more pearly than taupe but the fine shimmer is lovely and it really only takes two coats to get a solid and pretty color.



Overall this is great for both casual day wear and something a little more fun. I have yet to try it as a top coat sometime but I hope it will be useful that way too.
