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.
I like the four colors! Not very unique as you say, but still very fun and bright! I love the final mani with all the colors... it's really cute. :)

Love your nail art!
ReplyDeleteRolling bones reminds me of a color from the spiderman collection!
Besides Rolling Bones, the polishes look like dupes of the NOPI Tink set that was exclusive to Walgreens this summer.
ReplyDeleteI *love* the mani you did with all of these together. ♥
ReplyDeleteI passed on this years OPI mini halloween set :( I didn't love enough colors to justify buying it....and it hurts to see this gorgeous swatch of Rolling Bones cause I'm a sucker for gunmetal and greys!
ReplyDeleteI love this set. Haven't done anything yet with it. But I will! Loving your swatches - the colours are shown so well! x
