Bye Bye, OPI

I'm sure most of you have heard that OPI has been purchased by Coty.  Coty is the same company that owns Sally Hansen and Rimmel cosmetics.  They also use products that test on animals.

I have contacted Coty's customer service with an inquiry on their current status on animal cruelty.

OPI is a huge part of my collection and I would hate to have to stop purchasing it like I have for Essie after L'Oreal bought it out.

I will keep you all posted.

Link to Coty's News Page.  Philosophy might be another brand for me to be cautious of. :(

L'Oreal, Revlon, Wet n Wild

Got some new polishes the other day!

Wet n Wild Wild Shine - "Wild Orchid"

L'Oreal Resist & Shine Titanium - #734

Revlon Glimmer Gloss - Banana Blaze

So far I've only tried the L'Oreal #734

It is a very dark polish with a copper/red luminescence to it. These photos were taken indoors and the colour isn't true to life. In most lights it looks almost black with the coppery red shining in the middle. I think I will try and take some natural light photos tomorrow when the sun is out.

The formula was fairly thick compared to most polish, so it was a little difficult to manage. A bonus with it being thick was that it went on almost completey opaque with one coat, but I used two coats for good measure. One thing I did not like about it was the brush. It was very flat on the end so it was difficult to not smear it on my cuticles on my pinky finger. I'm sure with some practice I could apply it just fine.

Overall the polish looks wonderful, and unlike with most thick polishes it didn't bubble.
