My Collection Part 4

Here is the last of my OPI. 
Pearl of Wisdom, Happy Anniversary, Up Front and Personal, Birthday Babe
I call these my "effects" because I use these to layer over other colors. 
Birthday Babe is used for stamping.

Summer Flutter
Flower to Flower, Flit A Bit, Wing-It!
Every year OPI releases 4 pinks.  Summer Flutter is my favorite "pink set" because it
included an orange and a very popular blue (Catch Me In Your Net).  CMIYN is hard to find and
I settled on getting WNW Teal of Fortune (close dupe)

Shrek Forever After
Rumples Wiggin, Funkey Donkey, Fiercely Fiona, Who the Shrek Are You?
I'm missing the 2 blues but I can do without them. 

2009 South Beach in Paint My Moji-toes Red and Conga-Line Coral
2010 Swiss in The Color to Watch and Ski Teal We Drop

OPI Brights in Bright Lights Big Color and Blue My Mind (franken)
The 3rd bottle is my "Absolutely Alice dupe" consisting of Milani Blue Flash
and OPI Spark De Triomphe

Burlesque Glitters
Simmer and Shimmer x2, Show it and Glow it, Bring on the Bling,
Extra va-vaganza, Sparkleicious x2
Burlesque is my favorite holiday collection to date.

Burlesque Foils
Ali's Big Break (slight jelly), Let Me Entertain You, Take the Stage,
The Show Must Go On (duochrome)

2011 Serena Williams releases
Grape Set Match, Servin Up Sparkle, Rally Pretty Pink


Night Brights in Give Me the Moon (gray with blue flash) and My Private Jet 2nd release
Miss Universe in It's My Year! and Swimsuit I Nailed It!

Lincoln Park after Dark Suede, La-Pazitively Hot Matte,
Meet Me on the Star Ferry

Amazing Spiderman in Into the Night and Just Spotted the Lizard

Okay, there you have it-my entire collection. It adds up to 189 bottles including mini, backups, and frankens.  To some it may be a lot and to others its hardly anything compared to their own collection.  I try to be selective and buy polish that is unique to what I already own.  There are a lot of untrieds that I'd like to get to and some favorites that I can wear over and over.  I've seen most of what's coming out for the rest of the year and it's not really anything that I "gotta have".  I'm on a low buy until January.  OPI is joining together with Mariah Carey in January.  I'm thinking glitter and lots of girly-ness.

My Collection Part 3

Good morning.  This week I have the second half of my polish collection.  It consists of only OPI.  I have 2 OPI racks on my dressor and am going to show you whats on the first rack today and the second rack will be on Wednesday.

POTC Stranger Tides. I collected the whole set including the Silver Shatter.
It's one of my favorite collections.


Texas Sorbets (These are so versatile and they dry super shiny)
Houstan We Have a Purple, Y'all Come Back Ya Hear?, Guy Meets Gal-Veston,
and Do You Think I'm Tex-y?

DS Fantasy and Couture
Muppets Rainbow Connection and Designer De Better
(I really wasn't excited about the Muppets Holiday set-the colors weren't for me)

Russia Collection
Siberian Nights, Boris and Natasha, Russian Navy, Midnight in Moscow
My camera did not pick up how beautiful and vampy these are. 
Fall favorites!!!

Espana Collection
Manicurist of Seville, Ate Berries in the Canaries, Here Today Aragon Tommorrow
Well pigmented shades.  These do not disappoint!

NYC Ballet
Pirouette My Whistle, You Callin Me a Lyre?, Care to Danse?,
My Pointe Exactly, Don't Touch My Tutu
I'm usually not a soft shades fan, but these were amazing.  Jellies-I can't resist.
I'm just missing 1 from the set (Barre My Soul).

Misc. Soft Shades (see, I rarely buy soft shades)
Time-Less is More 2008, Fairytale Bride 2009 in At First Site and I Pink I Love You,
I Juggle Men top coat 2011

Misc.
No Room for the Blues (Paige Denim), I Lily Love You (NIce Stems),
Save Me (Nicki Minaj), Thanks So Muchness (Alice in Wonderland)
I would have liked all 4 of the Alice in Wonderland, but this is the only
one I could hunt down.

Shatters
Silver, Red, White, Teal
The white is getting goopy.  I had black, but it was beyond saving.
I just bought the red a couple months ago.  It is kind of jelly like. <3

Katy Perry
The One That Got Away, Not Like the Movies 2nd release, Last Friday Night,
Teenage Dream, Not Like The Movies duochrome
I really liked the color range in this set.  It is another favorite of mine.

Okay, so this was the first half of my OPI collection.  Hope you're enjoying it so far. 
Do you have any favorites from these collections?
