OPI Burlesque: The Glitters

Good morning, Dear Reader!

Since I have OPI Burlesque and reasonable sunlight this morning, I also have swatches of six of the OPI Burlesque Collection for Holiday 2010, the six glitter polishes.  I was a little apprehensive about these, wondering if they'd only be suitable for layering, but they're all opaque with 2-3 coats.  I used two coats of each for the swatches, but some could have used a third, I discovered upon reviewing the pictures.

Glow Up Already! is primarily gold with a few red and green bits.

Simmer & Shimmer is mostly blue with red and silver.

Extra-va-vaganza is mostly orange with silver.

Bring on the Bling is gold with red and green.

Sparkle-icious is a pretty even mix of gold, purple, and blue.

Finally, Show It and Glow It! is primarily purple with some silver.  This one has one coat of Seche Vite on it.

I'm wearing Show It and Glow It!, and one coat of top coat just isn't enough - it probably needs two more to be smooth.  That's to be expected with dense glitters though, so no surprises there.

That's it for today, Dear Reader.  Until next time, love and nail polish to you!
