Disney by Sephora Jasmine Collection "One is Never Enough" Nail Set Swatches and Review


Phew, what a wordy title! Today I'm going to show you the new Sephora by OPI mini polishes that are included in the One Is Never Enough limited edition nail polish collection. This is the second installment of the Disney by Sephora collection. The first collection centered around Cinderella and this one focuses on Princess Jasmine from the Aladdin series. I am such a sucker for the packaging of these products, they're so lovely. For both collections, I have limited myself to just the nail polishes because they're the only beauty products I'm guaranteed to use with any regularity.

The One is Never Enough set includes six miniature (~3.7mL) nail polishes for $24.50. That's a little over 4 dollars for each miniature bottle, and $1.10 per mL of polish. For comparison, a regular Sephora by OPI bottle is $9.50 for a 15 mL bottle, which is around $0.63 per mL. In other words, the price increase for these polishes is pretty steep, so keep that in mind. All of these swatch pictures were taken in a lightbox.
Berry Tale Romance. Two coats. This is described as a dark berry, but this reminds me of the lighter plum shades that have been released lately. The formula was great, if I didn't have a visible nail line, this could have easily been a one coater.
Your Wish is My Command. Three coats. This lilac has a slight silver shimmer, but it's honestly hardly worth mentioning because it is so hidden, both in the bottle and on the nail. The formula was also great, a little on the sheer side which is why I had to use three coats, but still smooth and self-evening.
Fit For Royalty. Two coats. This is a sort of generic pearly purple, similar to the one included in the introductory It Girl Julep Maven box. I'm not sure if they're dupes, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were. The formula on this one was great as well. No complaints!
All That Jasmine. Two coats. This is a light turquoise with the same great formula as the rest. It reminds me a lot of Zoya Wednesday and other similar shades.
Aladdin's Girl. Three coats. This glittery copper/orange/pink color is almost (if not) identical to Deborah Lippmann Phoenix Rising and OPI Sprung. It's really pretty, and the formula is easy to work with and comparable to that of Sprung. I personally prefer Phoenix Rising for its formula though, it's a two coater!
Dream Princess. One coat over each of the other five colors. This is a glittery clear top coat. It's pretty, but was hard to see over most of the colors. I liked it best over Fit For Royalty. The contrast in the colors is quite striking. The formula was good, but I can't see myself reaching for this one very often.

This set comes with some great colors and even greater formulas. However, they are quite pricey for the amount that you get. Also, if you have a sizeable nail polish collection, you likely have a dupe for many (if not all) of the colors. As a person who doesn't care for Disney movies or Disney princesses or anything of the like, this collection holds no sentimental value for me. But, I would recommend this set for anyone who is a fan of Disney (and/or Jasmine in particular) because the set is really cute and you are getting a nice product. I would also recommend this set for those with small polish collections who are looking to add a few more gorgeous colors to their collections.

If you'd like to get a set of your own, head over to your local Sephora store. Otherwise, you can get them online at Sephora's website. Thanks for reading!
