aye aye OPI!

My current collection stands at....2!

I have Done Out in Deco (a kind of dull lavender colour) and Baby Blue (light aqua with a bit of a green tinge). The colours are nicer in real life!

I was thinking of getting Mod About You (baby fairy floss pink) and saw the newest Alice in Wonderland collection consisting of a few old school glittery ones (it's kinda sad...I think I might still have some mega glittery ones in my drawer I used to save for those school dances....and I'm a little ashamed to admit that I had lipstick to match. yurghh!) and a couple of red shades. There was also the Hong Kong collection, a few of which I really like - Dim Sim Plum and Jade is the New Black, but I realised I had a bit of a weird feeling when I was thinking about which one I might buy.

Is it just me, or does anyone else get a bit turned off limited edition cosmetics? Yes - there's something very alluring about a once-off collector's item, and some of the colours are a lot more exciting than a few standard ranges, but then what happens when you finish the product and realise that you'd fallen in love with it? There may be ebay sellers who happen to have bought up big, but when the limited time is over, there's that feeling that you'll never be able to get back. Is that completely shallow? :)

A nice concept, but if i love something, i want it to be available to be mine forever and ever.
