NPOTW - OPI by Sephora Almost Famous

Want gorgeous summer nails???? I am currently loving one of my Sephora/New York purchases.  This little lovely goes by the name of Almost Famous.

sorry for the dodgy misshaped nails

A pretty champagne colour with a fine silver glitter, this polish is very a joy to apply ...1-2 coats and you're all done.  Sadly Sephora is only a US or a European store.  In the UK we are unfortunately not blessed with our very own Sephora stores......(yet, never know one day) Grrr!!  This is a nice quality polish and doesn't chip or peel.

If you're in the UK you could visit Paris or Calais for the nearest stores....or if you wish to push the boat out...NEW YORK!!! Lol!!!

If you cannot buy Sephora OPI, then the UK version I would recommend is Models Own Champagne.  It's a real similar shade, they could almost be twins.  I'll do another post shortly comparing the pair.

New York purchases (+pic's)

It's been a while since I came back from NYC. Over two months nearly, bit depressing seems to have been and gone in a flash.  I did go a bit crazy shopping wise, but in my mind I thought 'I won't be here next week', so what the hell.

From the left and clockwise:

Cover Girl eyeshadow palettes in: Urban Basics 220, Blossoms 257, Sheerly Nudes 265, Make Up For Ever Aqua Creams 1 and 3, Benefit Bella Bamba, Studio 35 Beauty Buffer/File, Stila convertiables in Petunia and Gerbera, Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash, Cover Girl Lash Blast, Marc Jacobs Daisy Roll-on Perfume, MAC Select Cover Up, Stila Palette with Sun and Kitten pan eyeshadows, Laura Mercier Brightening Powder, Pacifica Lotion, Stila Eyeliners; Kajal and Smudge stick waterproof, Fresh Supernova Mascara and Twilight Face Glow.

Yes that's it.  I did buy from Victoria's Secret but I won't go into that!  Here are close ups ...

Close ups of:

 MUFE Aqua Creams, Stila's Sun and Kitten eye shadows, Benefit Bella Bamba, and right up the top Stila Petunia and Gerbera Convertibals

I also picked up some nail polish.  The Essie Polish is from Walgreens and the OPI's are from Sephora.

I've been wearing Almost Famous tonnes in April it's my go to colour at the moment!  So I thought I'd show you some picture's I took.  Here's some snaps of ...

I'm so wishing I could make it back to the States again...it felt like home.  So comfortable.  Plus I love their shops :-)
