OPI Haul & Review; Ridge Filler, Nail Envy, Drip Dry, Thanks a Windmillion, Mermaid Tears



My latest online purchase arrived in the mail today !
Perfect excuse to ditch the books and procrastinate. (':


I bought OPI's Ridge Filler, Nail Envy, Drip Dry and two colours; Thanks a Windmillion and Mermaid Tears.
Kinda a stupid choice given they are almost the exact same colour, a darkish minty greeny colour, ahhahah... except that TAW is a bit more grey.

LOVE LOVE LOVE, Ridge Filler, Nail Envy and Drip Dry !!
I was never really a nails person because I would always, always, either have crazy ridges and imperfections on my nails, have peeling, or touch them while they were drying - always.
So once these arrived, I tried it out straightaway. and, I am so pleased with the results !!
Ridge filler made my nails so smooth, no ridges or bumps,
Nail Envy, although I have yet to see the long term effects, is a really good base and top,
And Drip Dry, omg, is my saviour. It helped dry my nails so quick that I didn't have time to forget that I had wet nails and touch something.

Now to the colours, didn't like them as much as I thought I would, which is unfortunate given that they are so similar.

Mermaid's Tears came out last year I think as a part of the POTC Collection, and Thanks a Windmillion this year as a part of the Holland Collection. Both are a minty-ish, green / blue colour, with Thanks a Windmillion being a little more grey.
When I used it, I was a little disappointed since I thought that they would be a little more of a pastel mint. So,... I mixed white in. (On a little palette, not the whole bottle !) (:  I like the colour a whole lot more, but the consistency not so much, its much more thicker, and less smooth and slightly streaky mixed and does not go on as nicely. So, I won't show a picture, cause it would kinda contradict what I said earlier about my nails being super nice, cause after I mixed in white, they aren't as nice... ):
Thanks a Windmillion- Left
Mermaid's Tears- Right

Andddd yea, I guess if you have unhealthy nails like me, grab yourself Nail Envy and Ridge Filler ! Or if you have a tendency to forget that your nails are wet, - Drip Dry is the answer !
And OPI still remains the leaders of awesome nail polishes (and nail polish names.)
