I *think* this collection is called Holiday Wishes?
DISCLAIMER: These swatches are NOT COLOR ACCURATE. Some are close to how they look in real life while a couple of them are very 'off'. I took these pictures under artificial light at midnight. I just wanted to give you an idea of what to expect.
And don't worry, I will have 'real' pictures of these as soon as I get a chance. I'm just too excited about this collection not to show you!
All A-Bordeaux The Sled, Shim-Merry Chic, Merry Midnight, Holiday Glow
Sapphire In The Snow (this is not at all an accurate portrayal- it is purple), Ginger Bells, Smitten With Mittens, Meet And Jingle
Comet Loves Cupid, Crimson Carol, Glove You So Much, Dear Santa
As you can see, this collection is heavy on the glitter and it totally rocks.

ReplyDeleteWhoa! I'm so digging the four in your first pic. Is it October yet?!
ReplyDeleteI think Merry Midnight has my name on it.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the preview! :) I already know which to get my paws on: Shim-Merry Chic, Merry Midnight
ReplyDeleteSapphire In The Snow, Ginger Bells
I am really meh about the last few OPI collections. A blue, lots of reds, a charcoal-ish grey and some glitter. Yawn... sounds like last winter. OPI needs to get with the program!
ReplyDeleteI need merry midnight and smitten with mittens! Maybe more, but will wait for your other swatches. They look so different from the bottle pics. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWellll hello Merry Midnight! Thankyou for the quick pics, looking forward to the full post.
ReplyDeleteMerry midnight and vampies Oh No there goes the holiday budget!
ReplyDeleteMerry midnight is gorgeous! Vampies, reds, glitter...Holiday budget blown!
ReplyDeletelovley glittering colors :-) thanks for not keeping us in the dark...LOL
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see "full" swatches on your beautiful nails...
Wowza, this DOES look like an amazing collection. Yay for OPI, especially after that awful South Beach collection. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my...after all the disappointing collections, FINALLY, OPI!
ReplyDeleteLove all the glitters...will definitely be getting a few of these!
Sorry if it has been asked Scrangie, but when is the approx release date of these??
Merry Midnight looks so interesting. I'm looking forward to more pics!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Not just one flakies polish, but two! Must have!!! OPI is getting pretty awesome all the sudden...
ReplyDeleteThe top 4 are my picks. Bring on the swatches!
ReplyDeleteWOHA! what a great collection!
ReplyDeleteYippe! I love All A-Bordeaux The Sled, Shim-Merry Chic, Merry-chic will be horded by ebayers i can tell.
ReplyDeleteLadies, is it just me or are ll A-Bordeaux The Sled and Shim-Merry Chic begging to be turned into a moonicure. Tee hee! giddy with joy.
Meet And Jingle is very similar to the 310 Red Carpet, from Rimmel London.
ReplyDeleteI Love it!
It's a very cool colection.
OMG for Merry Midnight!!! It looks like OPI really nailed it:)
ReplyDeleteoooh glitter!! they look promising.. can't wait for your real swatches.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sneak pic!
wow they look amazing! I think I want them all!!
ReplyDeleteO.O
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the proper Scrangie review! Thanks for the teaser!
AAAAAA ::flail:: FLAAAAAAKES!
ReplyDeleteAs an aside-I love how the trans design page for the Misa only human collection has the image sideways so it looks like the lady aggressively attacking the fruit, and opposed to her previous more, um, passive?, posture
Lovely colors! But Merry Midnight is so similar to my last Alessandro NOTD
ReplyDeletehttp://xoxo-parisky.blogspot.com/2009/08/notd.html
omg thanks for the super fast swatches, I'm dying to have most of them.
ReplyDeleteWoah, Merry Midnight! I can't wait to see that bottle in person.
ReplyDeleteOMG I can't wait for your next post on these - this may be a whole collection for me - I LOVE OPI brush and I love reds and glitters. That Ginger Bells totally rocks my thanksgiving ideas ;~)
ReplyDeleteI might need Shim-Merry Chic and Merry Midnight...love that chunky glitter!
ReplyDeleteUmm hurry up with the full swatches, please!!! They look awesome!
ReplyDeleteI need that entire collection. I was just saying on MUA that I needed more reds in my life. Thank you OPI!!
ReplyDeleteLovely winter collection, but I'm wondering if these are the kind of glitters that are hard to remove and leave my brittle nails all scratched. I looove Merry Midnight but I'm afraid of how hard it will come off?
ReplyDeleteScrangie? :(
I love the top 4!!! I am definitely getting these. Thanks for putting swatches out so quickly!
ReplyDeleteblown away by Holiday Glow!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the complete swatches! I thought I read they are coming out Sept 1 though.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the swatches...I adore Merry Midnight!
ReplyDeleteMerry Midnight looks AMAZING. Can't wait to see the bigger pics!
ReplyDeleteI'm absolutely freaking drooling over the flakies! yay! I can't recall OPI doing this before but I can't wait to see it!!!
ReplyDeleteMERRY MIDNIGHT! = <3
ReplyDeleteomg I love the first pic! I am sooo lovin the blue and red shimmer one
ReplyDeleteI can already tell that I'm going to have to cave on Bordeaux...can't wait!!!
ReplyDeleteMerry midnight! Ahhhh!!!
ReplyDeleteMerry Midnight calls me. So awesome.
ReplyDelete:( I'm actually disappointed... Maybe because this post was so quick and dirty. Hah.
ReplyDeleteSide note: Have you seen this? I spotted it on head2toebeauty.com
Orly Matte Top
Satin Finish Topcoat
Matte Top turns glossy nail lacquer into a matte finish for a unique satin effect. This special topcoat is great for creating nail art and spot-varnished nail looks.
OR-964502 0.6 oz Price: $4.95
The essie matte about you is out of stock and this is cheaper... I wonder if it is any good... Surprised you have not investigated it. I also saw a China Glaze MAN matte on transdesign.com
I'm SOOOO EXCITED!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAny idea what the release date in the UK will be?
Holy CRAP - Merry Midnight MUST BE MINE!! I lurve these colours - Scangie you rock!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much
These are so pretty! I can't wait to get my hands on them:)
ReplyDeleteGINGER BELLS!!! UNIQUE!!! I WANT IT lol
ReplyDeleteooh I can't wait for this one! I'm loving all the glitters!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for posting. I have a question, is Comet Loves Cupid a possible dupe candidate for It's raining men? Bullish on Opi comes close but is less clean and bright and more dullish beige-ish
ReplyDeleteThank you in advance
Omg, Merry Midnight looks amazing!! Can't wait for the full swatches
ReplyDeletehey i know its off topic but i have noticed that you did your nails wonderfully and made every single nail polish look smooth and non-streaky SO I was wondering if you could do perhaps something like a tutorial or whatever because I would love to know how to apply nail polish so smoothly as you do
ReplyDeleteawesome!!! love Merry Midnight & Holiday Glow to bits... when will it be release?
ReplyDeletethis is one fab collection! i want so much of it! thanks so much for the swatches! i def look forward to buying the polishes!
ReplyDeleteGinger Bells I like... the others are meh for me
ReplyDeleteJust so excited to see them - they all look fab - esp on your nails. I choose my six from the promo pictures but it doesn't look like they're real representations or descriptions at all so now, after your pics this is the first time I want them ALL!!! I keep saying thanks for you blog - you do a great job - and don't ever stop x
ReplyDeleteAbout time OPI released some shimmer, shine & glitter! All those cremes are driving me to drink. My only critizism is I am so over red!
ReplyDeleteJust the names of OPI polishes can make me smile!
ReplyDeleteHmm, I dont really like glitter finish (I prefer creme) and I just got the entire Espana collection (which had MY NAME ALL OVER) so I think I skip the Holiday collection all together. What about Halloween?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your post. i can't wait for the real post and high quality picture from your swatch.
ReplyDeletei love Merry Midnight so muchhhh.
I cannot wait for the full post! Merry Midnight looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteI want Smitten With Mittens. One of my cats is named Mittens. Merry Midnight is GORGEOUS. :)
