The OPI Hello Kitty collection celebrates all things happy, cute, colourful and sweet with it's 12 limited edition nail polish collection ranging from sweet glittering pinks to bright and punchy primaries.
I have all 12 shades from the collection to share with you today :)
* * *
5 APPLES TALL
5 Apples Tall is a bright primary red nail polish shade.
I really like this shade of red - it's kind of got a pink undertone to it (kind of strawberry red).
The formula is very pigmented and creamy. The polish is very easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. It isn't streaky or patchy and it self-levels pretty well - it's perfection in a bottle!
It builds up to full opacity in one - two thin and easy coats.
STARRY-EYED FOR DEAR DANIEL
Starry-Eyed for Dear Daniel is a stunning glitter mix of hot pink / magenta and baby pink micro glitter along with scattered super fine blue micro-micro glitter.
It's absolutely stunning!! Definitely one of my favourites!
The formula is perfect, especially for a glitter. The polish is really easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. It isn't patchy and it self-levels really well.
This polish could be used as a glitter topper over another nail polish colour (would look amazing over black) or worn on its own. However, It's so glitter dense that it can easily be built up to full opacity on its own.
This polish is completely opaque in two thin and easy coats.
The polish dries down a tad gritty and textured due to the intense glitter density - it's not as gritty and textured as an OPI Liquid Sand polish though. I personally don't mind that it's semi-textured, but if you're not a fan of the textured look, a coat of clear top coat will smooth it out and give it some extra gloss and shine.
KITTY WHITE
Kitty White is a pearly white shimmery nail polish shade.
It's very pretty and dainty.
The formula is good but quite thin and sheer and tends to run on the side of the nail if not applied carefully. It's still nice and smooth, easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. It isn't streaky or patchy and it self-levels pretty well.
This polish could be used as a shimmery topper over another nail polish colour or worn on its own. It can be built up to full opacity on its own in three - four thin coats
It looks beautiful with even just one coat, but when completely opaque, it looks so sparkly and beautiful.
LOOK AT MY BOW!
Look at My Bow! is a beautiful bubblegum pink nail polish shade.
The formula is very pigmented and creamy. The polish is very easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. It isn't streaky and it self-levels pretty well.
It builds up to full opacity quite easily in two - three thin coats. It generally only needed two coats but did look a little patchy on some nails, so a third coat may be needed.
SMALL + CUTE = ♥
Small + Cute = ♥ is a pretty peachy blush-toned pink nail polish shade. This polish is just so flattering and beautiful.
The formula is lovely and creamy. The polish is very easy to apply and glides onto the nail. It isn't streaky and it self-levels pretty well.
It builds up to full opacity quite easily in two - three thin coats. It generally only needed two coats but did look a little patchy on some nails, so a third coat may be needed.
MY TWIN MIMMY
My Twin Mimmy is a bright primary yellow nail polish shade.
The formula is very pigmented and creamy. The polish is easy to apply and glides onto the nail. It isn't streaky or patchy and it self-levels pretty well.
It builds up to full opacity nicely in two - three thin easy coats. It generally only needed two coats but did look a little streaky and patchy on some nails, so a third coat may be needed.
LET'S BE FRIENDS!
Let's Be Friends! is a beautiful and delicate light baby pink nail polish shade. It's very light and white-based, but you can still definitely tell that it's pink. Very feminine and dainty - I just love it!
The formula is lovely and creamy. The polish is easy to apply and glides onto the nail. It isn't streaky and it self-levels pretty well.
It builds up to full opacity quite easily in two - three thin coats. It generally only needed two coats but did look a little patchy on some nails, so a third coat may be needed.
CHARMMY & SUGAR
Charmmy & Sugar is an amazing, amazing, amazing (one "amazing" just isn't enough...it's just that good!) iridescent pink-purple shimmery glitter mix with pink, blue, silver, green small hexagonal glitters. It's so beautiful and unique!! Definitely one of my favourites! (My swatch really does not do this polish justice!)

I like this colour a lot more than I was expecting to.

Overall, I really quite like this collection. The colour selection is so lovely and cute. I also absolutely love the adorable Hello Kitty printed bottle caps.
I definitely recommend checking out this collection for yourself - you will not be disappointed!
There isn't any particular polish in this collection that I wouldn't recommend, (they're all just that good), but my personal favourites and picks from this collection are "Charmmy & Sugar", "Starry-eyed for Dear Daniel", "Super Cute in Pink" and "Let's Be Friends!".
