OPI - DS Glamour






Though I'm not a huge lover of Blue, 
this polish is one of my all time coveted polishes.
From OPI's Designer series, this highly sought after shade
is a vivid Royal Blue prismatic polish.
While it's no secret that OPI is not even close to being 
on of my personal top 
brands, the formula on this gem is TOP NOTCH, 
needing just a single coat for this superb brilliance. 

Pure holo goodness.

my old camera had.

More L.A. Girls

As I mentioned in my previously haul,
I loved these polishes so much, I was going back for more.
And that is exactly what I did. 
I picked up 4 additional colors from the
Glitter Addict collection,
and then I also picked up 3 colors from their 
Metal Collection.



These Glitter Addict polishes are A-MAZ-ING!
I adore them, hence why I went back for more :)

This time around I picked up
Euphoria, Jostle, Purge, and Provocative

All of the polishes in this collection are densely packed 
glitters in a clear jelly base.





All are solid color glitters, consisting of tiny and large hexagon glitters.
The only polishes that are not solid are

Celebrate, which is a multi-colored glitter

 Euphoria, which is a Purple glitter with random holo hexagons

Nostalgic, with is a Teal glitter with random holo hexagons 

It's not often that you come across pure clear jellies that are
so densely packed like this, and I guess that is why I love them

You can use a light coat for layering, or 
in 2 coats you've got a solid glitter nail

They are a definitely MUST-HAVE for any glitter lover.



Next up are the Metal polishes.


Copper Alloy turned out to be quite sheer and it 
took 4 coats to achieve some decent coverage

I'm not really thrilled with that, but it is a vibrant Copper once you get there.

Pink Steel is my favorite of the 3

It's a frosty metallic cool-toned Pink, 
I really like it. That was applied with 2 coats.

Lastly, Iron Red....though it's not Red at all
it's a rich metallic Hot Pink, still, I'm not complaining, it's beautiful.
This also was 2 coats.

All of these polishes I purchased for $2.49 in a special sale 
which always seems to have them on sale in one form or another, 
so I say take advantage and go grab a few!
