OPI Pirouette my whistle

The bride collection New York City ballet from OPI is a collection full of sheers but also a glitter that I got really interested in.

Pirouette my whistle is a silver glitter in a clear base. It contains of lots of silver micro glitter and hexagon shaped bigger glitter, also silver but these look a bit white, almost matte. I like the effect, it is glitter but still subtle. It works best a top coat though, when you want to do that little extra on your nails. Then one coat of this is perfect. I tried to get it opaque but gave up after four layers.

The formula was smooth and easy to work with. The glitter ended up a bit randomly on the nails but that is no problem I think, but it is necassary to turn the bottle a few times before you start painting so the glitter mixes.

One layer of Pirouette my whistle over Don't touch my tutu!

A pink sandwich

I have been playing around again with my polish and ended up with an sandwich on my nails. I wanted to try how the white jelly Don't touch my tutu! from OPIs upcoming bride collection works in a situation with two other polish.

So, I started with two coats of the pink creme Lady Like from Essie, then one layer of the pink glitter Candy cane from Color club. And on top of that I put one coat of Don't touch my tutu! which gave it all a soft, milky finish.

What do you think?

OPI Don't touch my tutu!

The first polish that I try on from OPIs upcoming bride collection New York City ballet is the white jelly Don't touch my tutu!

I like this polish the best when I use only one coat. Then it gives the nail a  fresh look. It is almost not visible on the nail but it is there. When I add another three coats I get a nice white color, but it is not opaque. But hey, it is a jelly, it is not supposed to be opaque.

The fomula is a bit streaky. The trick is to not have too little polish on the brush here.

Is this something you like?

One layer.

Four layers.

Isadora Silver sky

Well, when I don't find a blue sky when I look up I put it on my nails instead. And it is a beautiful silver sky that Swedish make up brand Isadora is presenting for spring.

Silver sky is a baby blue polish packed with micro silver glitter. I like this. It is sweet and cool at the same time and it makes me smile when I look at my nails.

And it is so easy to work with, which I often find this kind of polish to be. It is like the glitter gives the polish a substance and makes it easier to control on the nail. For opacity I needed two coats.

I also did a kind of french manicure using Bahama mama from Essie on the tips. It is agees since I last did something like this and I did it on free hand so it is not perfect. But I like the color mix.

OPI New York City ballet

Time for OPIs wedding collection, this year it is called New york city ballet. It contains of  five polishes with a jelly finish and a silver glitter. And of course, the colors are all sheer and subtle. Not the thing I would wear if I get married again, then my nails will have a strong, vibrant pink or some kind of red. But hey, not all want that.

But I can still see the beauty in the colors in this collection because I like the jelly finish. It gives the nails a glas look that I like. And the glitter is a bit unusall. It looks like the hexagon glitter parts are matte. Will be interesting to see how it turns out on the nails.

Barre my soul, You callin' my a lyre?, Care to danse?

My pointe exactly, Piroutte my whistle, Don't touch my tuto!

OPI Did you ear about van Gogh?

Hmm. I guess you have learned by now. Nude is not my color. It is not a color that makes my heart jump and nudes usually dont't work with my skintone. But hey, I keep trying them on. And people say I am stubborn...

Well, so, here is Did you ear about van Gogh? from OPIs Holland collection. This is a nude cream.  A safe color that you can wear to anything I guess. But to me it is a bit boring. I want something more to happen.

The formula though was great. Very smooth and easy to work with. Two coats were enough for opacity.

OPI A roll in the hague

I never thought I would say this because orange on my nails has never been my thing. But I have just learned that I never should say never. The reason is A roll in the hague from OPIs spring collection Holland.

A roll in the hague is a bright but saturated orange. Tomato orange I would call it because it looks a bit red sometimes. The color that dries on the nails is much darker than the one you see in the bottle. But I don't mind that. The end result looks cool and makes my nails pop, especially now since I shortened my nails insired by my friend Kristina who always have short nails. And this kind of color looks its best on short nails I think.

The formula was great, smooth to work with and for opacity I used two coats.

Essie Bangle jangle

Another purple, I do have soft spot for them. Bangle jangle (by the way love the name, I have a soft spot for bangles too) from Essies winter collection, the last of that collection for me to try.

Bangle jangle is a light purple creme with a grey undertone. The color is lovely, it is, but on me it feels a bit pale. I do need that humph I get with a strong color.

The formula was excellent though, esecially for being this kind of light creme, they easily gets streaky but not this one. For opacity I needed two coats.
