OPI Rock Goddess Halloween mini set

Hi everyone, happy Tuesday.  I am very much enjoying the fall weather, how about you?  Today I have the Halloween mini polish set from OPI.  I was sick of waiting for my local Ulta to get this set because they usually are weeks or months behind with bringing out new polish collections so I got it from Amazon.  This set doesn't have the most original colors to those that have huge polish collections, but they were original colors for me.

Rolling Bones:
This polish is a grey shimmer that is medium toned and to me has golden shimmer.  It is similar to On Her Majesty's Secret Service, which I picked up recently but haven't swatched on here yet, but this polish leans more warm and grey whereas OHMSS leans more blue and cool.  The formula was a little sheer and required three coats for full coverage.



Stand In Lime For Days:
This polish is a bright lime chartreuse green that doesn't feel very Halloween to me, but could lean Halloween if paired with orange and purple.  I used three coats for full coverage.



Yellopalooza:
This polish is a marigold yellow cream.  It was pretty good for a yellow but did need three coats to even out everything.



The Drummer is Hot:
This polish is a red-orange cream.  I normally wouldn't go for a polish like this but this one really seemed to go well with my skin tone.  The formula was really good on this one, two coats for full opacity.



Overall I liked this collection.  It didn't blow me away but I liked each of the colors because they were unique to anything I have.  The set also comes with a skull bracelet which I haven't tried yet.  As a little extra, I included a mani I used with all of these polishes for a guest post a few days ago.  I used Candy Lacquer Zombielicious on my accent nail and the little dots with Essie The Girls Are Out.

  3. Besides Rolling Bones, the polishes look like dupes of the NOPI Tink set that was exclusive to Walgreens this summer.
