![]() I needed 3 coats for full opacity.įirst off, apologies for my horrible swatch picture on this one. It is creamy, but I had trouble with the brush leaving some low spots. It looks much darker on the nail than it does in the bottle. It is a taffy or light khaki color that falls between a very light brown and a very dark off-white. You’re So Vain-illa is from the 2014 Coca-Cola Collection. I also like the finish, even though it shows some brush strokes. It is lovely and bright, but kind of glamorous at the same time. This polish will show some brush strokes. It is opaque in 2-3 coats, depending on whether or not I am too heavy-handed with the brush. I feel it leans a bit toward being a foil. This is an “old”/antique-looking gold metallic. Glitzerland is from the Fall 2010 Swiss Collection. Needless to say, this one is a definite keeper! In the winter and around the Christmas holidays, this topper combined with OPI Chiffon My Mind is one of my favorite manicures. I love it over darker colors, but it’s also amazing over a sparkly white. ADORE it!! It has a beautifully delicate look and shimmer on the nail. I can get this one opaque in 3-4 coats on its own, but it is fabulous as 1 coat over a base color. The base is neither too thick nor too thin, and it is easy to apply. It is a clear base with scads of white, pearl, and iridescent shimmer and glitters. ![]() Make Light of the Situation is from the 2015 Soft Shades Collection. So … grab a snack and a soda or cup of tea and get ready for some major nail polish picturage! I know “picturage” isn’t a word. I debated over giving the stragglers their own post, but I decided I was ready to jump into my China Glaze polishes starting next week. And I decided to toss my few stragglers into the end of this post, too. This is gonna be a long one, folks! I’m wrapping up the last of my OPI whites (and others, as you can see from my extremely creative (not) and LONG post title - ha, ha!). Unfortunately, if I already destashed a polish, we all have to make do with my original swatch photo. ![]() I update and add newer, better photos where I can. As I take new swatch pictures and update them here in the blog, you will see a mix of older and newer photo styles in some of my older posts. Over the time that I have been learning how to swatch and doing photos for my blog, I feel my photo skills have improved. (Hello from the Future!! Without upsetting the space-time continuum, I think I can safely give the following advice: Buy masks and hand sanitizer! Lots of hand sanitizer!) In all seriousness, I want to note that my photos from many of these earlier posts are going to vary widely. ** A Note About Swatch Photos: I am coming in to edit this in October of 2020.
