OPI Swiss Haul

My partner has been spending a lot of weeks away for work lately and as he was unable to find me any presents where he was he said he would get me some nail polish instead - I think it is true love :)

He let me get the three polishes I wanted from the OPI Fall/Winter Swiss collection and the latest OPI suede I was hunkering after.

Swatches to come later on :)

OPI Suede Collection now in New Zealand

The OPI Suede collection is now being sold exclusively at Farmers in New Zealand. These are selling for $24.90 each.
This collection was released last year (fall 2009) to the rest of the world, and has taken ages to become available in New Zealand.

I managed to get the whole OPI Suede collection last November when I was in America on holiday. *Now would be when I would post some swatches of the suede collection, but I still have my shellac on, so am unable to swatch anything at the moment* These polishes look great by themselves and even more amazing with a top coat on, which makes them look glittery and shimmery.

My mum and dad have just gone on a holiday to America and I set my mum the task of finding me the new OPI Here today...Aragon Tomorrow Suede polish. (This is not part of the suede collection just released in New Zealand). Fingers crossed she manages to get me a bottle.

Also don't forget to get beauty club points when you purchase any make up from Farmers :)

Black Sparkle Comparison

Ive been meaning to post this for awhile now and I have finally finished it! YAY!

Black Sparkle Comparison

Left to right - OPI Suzi Skies in the Pyrenees suede, Zoya Freja, OPI My Private Jet, Sephora by OPI Absinthe makes the heart, Revlon Steel-etto

Zoya Freja

This one has the least visible sparkle or glitter. Its more of a charcoal colour with shimmer rather than glitter.

OPI My Private Jet

I don't think this needs any introduction. Beautiful holographic glitter sparkleness. (Sorry about the old crappy photo)

Sephora by OPI Absinthe Makes the Heart

This polish was the least opaque. Most of the others could have got away with 2 and in some cases one coat, but this I think was three. Its more of a glitter in a runny jelly base.

Revlon Steel-etto

I bought this polish about 2 and a half years ago and I'm pretty sure you can't get them anymore. Its from the Dark Pleasures collection. It was done in one coat but here is two.

OPI Suzi Skies in the Pyrenees suede

OPI Suzi Skies in the Pyrenees suede - with top coat

The top coat makes it sparkle and the glitter stand out much more than without a top coat. I always wear my OPI Suede polishes with a top coat. This is still a pretty polish though.

Obviously my favourite is OPI My Private Jet - But it had an unfair advantage in this comparison because it was holographic and none of the others were. Next favourite would be Revlon Steel-etto.

Hope this was helpful.
