Overview and Swatches - Sephora's Hello Kitty Collection Part II

This is Part II of the Sephora's Hello Kitty Collection. To view Part I, click here.

As you can see, I had ordered Hello Kitty Apple Cheeks in Blushing and Pink Grapefruit. I also ordered, Minty and Bubble Gum Polishes. The Apple Cheeks in Blushing is much more coral and lighter in shade and tone than the Apple Cheeks in Charmmy. Charmmy is much more brown based and a deeper, more rich shade than Blushing. Pink Grapefruit Sweet Gloss is more pinky and light than Peachy Sweet Gloss. Both sweet glosses apply rather sheer, which is a little disappointing, because I'd hoped there would be a noticeable difference between the two on the lips. Both shades are very wearable and moisturizing and neither is sticky.

The nail polishes applied very differently. I had some trouble getting Minty to apply opaque. Unlike it's sister polish, Blueberry which applied opaque with just one coat, Minty required three coats to apply evenly and opaquely on the nails. I was kind of disappointed how streaky it initially applied. I also was disappointed with my application of the products, so please excuse the sloppiness.


Bubble Gum applied more opaque than Minty and Banana Cream. It was the second most opaque, with Blueberry as the most opaque of all the nail polishes. Bubble Gum is quite a light pink, more like chewed bubble gum than fresh bubble gum. Ewww. hahaha.

I used OPI's nail envy as a base coat and Seche Vite as a top coat. Enjoy!
