Has anyone noticed the most recent OPI mini collection???
If you haven’t, about to give you a spoiler alert………
Da daa da da (my impression of a drum roll)… it’s the MUPPETS SHOW!!!!
Yep that’s right, apparently you can turn a troupe of crazy furry puppets into nail polish shades, complete with cute as a button names!
I won’t divulge all the colours and names (you may want to rush out and peruse them yourself, I can’t ruin the surprise for you!) but I will shine the spotlight on just one of the colours, with a gorgeous name:
Gone Gonzo!
What could also be construed as the Cookie Monster on acid (he he), this is a bright electric blue glitter with silvery flakes….craziness!
I have to admit I wasn’t sold on the colour just by viewing the bottle alone, rather I started lusting after it when I saw it being worn.
Perhaps this picture will help you judge it better:
I have used three coats, I found two quite enough for coverage (very sheer with just one coat) but three gave a nice coating…I then topped it with a clear coat (to smooth down the rough edges of the glitter) and sprinkled a dot of OPI rapid dry over the top (a lovely little product that makes the nail polish dry toot de suit)
A full size bottle from the OPI collection will set you back $19,95, there is also a mini pack of 4 colours with little bottles for $24.95… just suss out the colours though, I prefer the other shades than the ones in this pack J
Best location for the biggest range of OPI is David Jones (and very helpful staff) or selected chemists and cosmetic chain stores.
Happy OPI hunting everyone!
PS -a little update, three days on and the nail polish has not chipped once (not at all!)... however when I had to remove it, the stubborn polish refused to budge! It took an hour and a big bottle of nail polish remover to get the glitter off -just bear this in mind if you need to remove it quickly :)
I have to admit from looking at the bottle I wasn't loving the colour.. but you are so right, on the nails it looks amazing!! I seriously need this colour!
ReplyDeleteAw, looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI also did not like the color in the bottle, but when it is on, it looks fresh and glamorous. Good to know that it doesn't chip but a bugger that it is hard to get off.
Great name too!
Quick note, I find using the soak method always works well with glitter polishes!
ReplyDeleteWhere you soak a cotton pad in acetone polish, pop it on the fingernail, wrap it with tin foil (to prevent the acetone evaporating), wait 1 minute and remove...it usually swipes off cleanly. A lot less grief than scrubbing at it for ages!
