O.P.I. x Barbie Collection Nail Look (And Some Thoughts About the Polish)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

When I purchased the bottles of OPI x Barbie nail lacquer (Or nail polish as I call it), I intended on painting my nails as soon as possible. Sadly, I didn’t have the time to pain my nails until weeks after I purchased the nail polish. (I sometimes work a lot with my hands, which isn’t good for pretty polished nails!) When I did get the chance to paint them with the OPI x Barbie polishes, I was so excited I couldn’t decide on what colors to paint them. I normally like to paint my nails the same way because I like keeping them uniform and subtle. (Even if the polish color is pretty bold) This time, I decided to go out of my comfort zone and paint one nail one color and the other nails the same color.

O.P.I. x Barbie Nail Polish Collection Haul Part 2

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

After purchasing my first haul of polishes (Or nail lacquer) from the O.P.I. x Barbie collection, I thought my shopping for the nail polishes was done. After all, purchased all the colors I really wanted and, even though I didn’t get the color I wanted the most, I was happy just to have the colors I have.

A few weeks after I purchased the polishes, I found some of the colors still available for purchase at Walmart. This time, they were on sale for a deep discount. After thinking about the nail polishes, I decided it was such a great savings to pass up. So, I purchased three of the four remaining colors I don’t have in my collection.

O.P.I. x Barbie Nail Polish Collection Haul Part 1

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

After discovering the OPI x Barbie nail lacquer (Or nail polish) collection available at Walmart, I decided to purchase bottles of all the colors I wanted most from the collection. I really liked the pink colors the most. I love pink nail polish, but I haven’t found a favorite pink color nail polish in years. When I saw the shades of pink in the collection, I decided to purchase and try as many pink shades I can find available for purchase.

O.P.I. x Barbie Nail Polish Collection In Store Photographs

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Over a month ago, Barbie: The Movie was released in movie theaters. It is currently up for preorder on Amazon and soon, it will be available to stream online. I know I am really late to post a lot about the Barbie: The Movie merchandise, but after a lot of thought, I decided to write a few posts about my favorite inspired by merchandise!

I loved a lot of the merchandise inspired by the movie, but most of it was impractical for me to wear or use. (Well, at this point of my life at least!) For this reason, I would admire it, then move on with my life. One of the more practical and useful merchandise is the O.P.I. x Barbie: The Movie nail polish collection.

I really liked the colors in the nail polish collection. I’m a fan of sparkly nail polish, pink nail polish, and blue nail polish since I was in elementary school. Today, I don’t have a lot of brightly colored, Barbie worthy pink nail polishes in my nail polish collection. I also don’t wear blue nail polish anymore, but I still enjoy looking at it! When I saw the complete nail polish collection, I really wanted to purchase many of the colors. Unfortunately, due to work and other commitments, I knew I wouldn’t be able to travel to an Ulta Beauty until August at the earliest. That meant I would be able to shop for the nail polishes in person before they sold out.

This is why I was really surprised to see the Walmart closest to me had the whole collection for sale! This Walmart has been really good at stocking the limited edition beauty collections available to purchase at other Walmarts. Yet, it is still a small Walmart, which means the store may be passed over when it comes to stocking limited edition beauty collections. This is why I was so surprised to see the O.P.I. x Barbie: The Movie collection there. I took pictures of the colors available at the store to make sure I purchased the right colors I wanted. Even though the photographs did their job, I still wanted to share some of them in a post. Since collection has been out for a while, I don’t have any reason to post them except to share my excitement over finding the collection in a store I didn’t expect to find it in!

Barbie The Movie Dreamhouse In Walmart

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In case you haven’t heard, there is a new live action Barbie movie that will be released in theaters on July 26. Even though it is June, I began to see tie in merchandise for the movie in stores and online. I plan on purchasing a Barbie doll from the movie mostly because I loved Barbie as a child. I planned on buying one at the Walmart closest to me, but they didn’t have any. Instead, they had the Barbie Dreamhouse from the movie…

After looking at it in person, I can honestly say that if this movie came out in the 1990’s, I would’ve wanted this dream house for my birthday or Christmas. I looks pretty nice and just like the one in the movie. There was not an unboxed Dreamhouse to look at in person, so the picture on the box is as good as it gets.

EDIT: After publishing this post, I decided to double check to see if the measurements actually was given in centimeters only. They weren’t. The measurements were indeed given in imperial (Feet and inches) as well as metric (Centimeters and meters). This is why I crossed out the following paragraph. Yes, what I wrote isn’t true and it’s my fault for not double checking myself before publishing! I’m sorry for any confusion this may have cause anyone looking into purchasing the Dreamhouse! The final paragraph is still true though.

 

Even though it was neat to look at, I noticed some things about it. The first thing I noticed is the Dreamhouse’s measurements are given only in centimeters, not inches and centimeters. I’m not sure why this is, but if you or someone you know is looking into purchasing the Dreamhouse, are worried about the size of it, and doesn’t understand centimeter increments like inches, then you or someone you know will need to convert from centimeters to inches. It isn’t as big of an issue as other things, but it is odd to see in the United States. I haven’t seen other Barbie products, movie tie in or not, sold in the United States that don’t have inches given in the measurements!

The other thing I noticed about the Dreamhouse is the price. At the Walmart I found the Dreamhouse at, it was for sale for $179 USD. It is a lot of money, but I know on another website it costs $199 USD. Granted, the higher price is from Bloomingdales, which has other Barbie tie-in merchandise including children and women’s clothes, shoes, and accessories and sells products for a premium price point in general. Still, I found it odd there was a $20 USD price difference between the two Dreamhouses. I can’t see anything different in the Bloomingdales version than the Walmart version to justify the difference in price. Still, I think it would be a good idea to shop around to see which store has the better price for it.

Well, that’s all for now! Thank you for reading!
