Interesting that neither of these are available on the UK website.

Bay is gorgeous, I love the gold glitter in this one, gives it a mermaid vibe, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats.

Breezi is lovely, a dusty blue with a hint of green undertone, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, Breezi also stamps.

If I took the Sunsets set away you'd say that the Summertime collection paired really well with the Seashells collection.

I love looking at these two collections as you can see a very sinilar colour story going on, even though the collections are 4 years apart.

Some Obi pics from this morning, if I dont get out of bed in time I get jumped on by Mr Obi lol I did get woken up at 6 this morning by Ellie who wanted fuss and who then ended up under the covers until the alarm went off.

I think I'll have to do a line up of all these pink leaning purples so you can see the colour story.

Last pic shows all the pink leaning purples together, I'll pop the names up with the pic.
