September is here!
I have a quick post to share. I bought the OPI Nordic Fall 2014 mini set. I'm not really into mini sets normally because I like the full bottle. Also it seems like I rarely reach for the mini set. However, I like all the colours in this mini set, so I have decided to buy it.
Originally I was only going to get the full size of My Dogsled is a Hybrid but I also like How Great is Your Dane? So mini set it is.
I saw the commercial for the Nordic set on youtube and it is pretty. It's set in a winter forest. It's absolutely beautiful! I am easily influenced for goods, and I just thought of Frozen since it takes place in Norway. I'm also currently reading the third book in the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series (Game of Thrones). It kind of reminds me elements of that even though the show is shot in Iceland.

When I bought this, my friend said that My Dogsled is a Hybrid looks like a colour I own. While it might be true, I decided to swatch it against Mermaid's Tears from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection from 2011.

I apologize in advance as I should have kept with the scheme above.

As you can see, Mermaid's Tears is a little more murky in colour and My Dogsled is a Hybrid is a lot brighter.

I bought my set at Trade Secrets for $14.99. The mini set is 3.75mL or 1/8 Fl. Oz each bottle. Is it worth it compared to buying a full size? Cost wise, not really considering 3.75mL x 4 - 15mL which is a full size. However, the benefit is I get 3 extra colours. I have never finished a full bottle of polish, so it's good enough for me to play around with this. I know some other places normally retail this for $16.99.
