OPI Nail Polish Color Review

Recently I went to Mall of Emirates and bought two new colors from OPI. My main purpose is for using them for french manicure however I can use them on their own as well if i choose to.

The white color is called "Alpine Snow". It applies easily. I put two coats and I'm pretty happy with the result. I believe three coats will be even better but I prefer to put two coats maximum.

The 2nd color is called "I'll Take The Cake", delicious name. It's light peachy color. Even with two coats you can hardly see the color. However for french manicure it's perfect. On it's own it's ok but the color will not be too visible. You'll get a light covering.

The cost is aed 34 each. The brush is big enough and easy to apply. The colors are pretty good for french manicure. The white "Alpine Snow" on it's own is great but not "I'll Take The Cake". Overall very happy with these colors.

Salsa Jeans Review

I went to Salsa a few days ago. No, not a restaurant but the jean store. I bought my 1st pair of Salsa jeans! I was in Festival City in Dubai just walking around and saw the store for the first time. I went in not intending to buy anything. However the sales lady was very helpful and asked me, what I was looking for. She showed me one pair of jeans and she said it gives a nice derriere. Since I'm always on the lookout of a good pair of jeans I decided to try them.

On the back, both pockets have sequins

I didn't even look at the price tag I just put them on. They fit me like a glove! I must say they are the best pair of jeans that I have tried on in recent months. I decided to buy them right then and there. They are skinny low rise jeans and they give a "push up" effect. If you need some help like me, you would definitly love them. I wasn't blessed in that deparment so when I find a good pair of jeans I get so happy.

I paid aed 515. When I got home I noticed under the top sticker price was another sticker price of
aed 495. I guess it's a popular jean and they increased their price. I hope after this review, they don't increase their price again, otherwise I'll be forced to be on the lookout for another brand:)

One more side note. I found the brand online and the same pair of jeans was 89.90 Euro. About aed 30 less and they ship for FREE in Europe. Whoever is in Europe is so lucky and I feel so jeanlous:)

How Product Reviews Work

I buy new items all the time. Sometimes I love them other times it seems a waste of money. Since I'm located in the UAE it's a bit hard to find local places for product reviews. That's why I decided to blog about it. If you know me, you know that I'm very passionate about what I purchase and will give you my opinion on it.

My reviews include:

•  products I buy and try out (make up, creams, polishes etc)
• restaurants and food quality (taste, ambiance, price)
• traveling and my experience (places I stayed, cleanliness, friendliness etc)
• customer service and much more

My reviews will not be biast. I will give a fair review based on my experience. Even though most of the time the products I buy from Dubai are fantastic, I will still post if something is not satisfactory. This is just one person's opinion. I'm not intentionally going to give negative reviews on a product. Many of the products are made or come from US, China, Europe etc.

Here's is how I rate them:

[*****] totally cool, will recommend to my friends
[****] is good, will buy again
[*** satisfactory, it's good enough
[**] it's ok but not worth it
[*] total waste of money, will never buy it again


I buy everything with my own money. If somebody wants me to do  a review on their product they can contact me. If I didn't purchase a product and was given to me for free I will disclose this information.
