Today, I'm coming at you with another OPI polish. It's from the Fall/Winter 2010 Swiss collection, which may actually be my favorite collection that I've seen from OPI. Seriously, I did not get into polish as I do now until last year, yet I've caught a few of the Swiss collection, and I love them all! I really want Just a Little Rosti at This and Cuckoo For This Color, but those two seem particularly hard to find :(
This is Glitzerland, and holy guacamole, it is Sex. On. Your. Nails. The way it glistens under the waves of California April heat is phenomenal, and I found myself staring at my nails on my way home (and almost crashing into a tree, I might add). It's a beautiful gold color, but it's not extremely yellow-toned. I have yellow skin, and I try to avoid yellows and oranges, because they make me look crazy. This one isn't too bad, and the lukewarm undertone doesn't look too bad on my yellow-undertoned-skin.
My pictures don't do it justice (mainly because I take them on my iPhone LOL...), but believe me when I say this is shimmering sex on a fingernail.
Application was fantastic. Every polish that I have from this collection has a fantastic application...
Smooth, non-chunky glitter glides easily onto the fingernail. This is one of those polishes that gives you extra dimension from different angles with each additional layer. This is two coats. One is a nice sheer overlay - nothing too shimmery, but definitely unique and nice. Two is more opaque (duh) and quite golden and beautiful. Three is so incredibly cool, because the darker parts get darker in different lighting, and the shimmer is just glittery perfection.
These pictures don't reveal the true finish of the polish, since I have Seche Vite on top (which I don't really like...), but the true finish is kind of like a satin/semi-matte. It looks insanely cool, but I'd love for it to go all matte. I love matte nails! :D
How would I rate this polish? Oh...10/10 FOR SURE. Maybe even a 10.1. It's just that great. The color is BRILLIANT, the application is HEAVEN, and the overall look is just so sophisticated with a trendy twist. I'd say, if you can find this at nearby beauty salons or anywhere that sells nail polish, I would definitely get it. It is quite a nice find :D
See ya next time!
