Love: O.P.I.

O.P.I. has within the last year tied Milani for my all time favorite nail polishes. I love how they both go on really easily and smoothly without being too thick, and make it easy for multiple coats to be applied.

The new Katy Perry O.P.I. line is coming out soon, if not already in stores near you, and once I saw it on a friend's Facebook page my roommate Kelly and I had to run out and try to find it. We are particularly interested in the "Black Shatter" color shown below. It goes on in one solid coat and as it dries it crackles up to leave a really cool looking effect.



From left to right, all shown with Black Shatter: Last Friday Night, Not Like the Movies, The One That Got Away, and Teenage Dream

You can see a video here of the colors in person and how the Black Shatter works. I love all the colors but I really love the Teenage Dream because it's more of a multidimensional sparkle opposed to a flat shimmer.

Unfortunately the salon by us did not have it in yet, but of course while we were looking I found another color (or fifty) that I convinced myself I had to have and bought "Glitzerland." I love it because it's almost a combination of gold and silver that looks like champagne, and lighter colors like this look way better on my almost non-existent fingernails. (Click picture for source- I only wish my nails looked this good!)


We will definitely be going back in the future to look for the other colors! Have you ever tried O.P.I.? What are your favorite colors?

  2. I love OPI! They make my favorite shade of red ever, though I can't remember what it's called. I saw another blogger posting about the shatter polish, she used it over gold and it was amazing! I want it so bad now! Teenage Dream is really pretty too. How to decide?
