Quick and Dirty Preview of OPI Holiday 2009

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.

    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!

    Meet And Jingle is very similar to the 310 Red Carpet, from Rimmel London.

    I Love it!
    It's a very cool colection.

    AAAAAA ::flail:: FLAAAAAAKES!

    As 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

  38. DaniAugust 9, 2009 at 6:16 AM

    Lovely 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?
    Scrangie? :(

    :( I'm actually disappointed... Maybe because this post was so quick and dirty. Hah.

    Side 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

    Thanks 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

    Thank you in advance

    hey 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
