Race Red-
First up is the classic Mustang red in the collection. The thing is....this red leans very orange. My father-in-law has a classic cherry red Mustang and this doesn't remind me of that color. This polish is a red-orange cream and the formula is absolute perfection. I used two easy coats with topcoat below.
50 Years of Style-
The second polish up is a frosty antique gold color. I honestly thought I would hate this one, but it leans very cool toned for a gold. When I pulled comparisons anything that was a traditional warm gold wasn't even close to this. There were brushstrokes, but they did dry down as the polish dried. Again, another great formula. I used two coats with topcoat below but you could get away with one thick coat.
Angel with a Leadfoot-
This polish is a stark white cream...I will have a comparison to OPI Alpine Snow. I had high hopes for this polish but unfortunately it was streaky and needed three coats plus topcoat to even everything out.
Girls Love Ponies-
Next up is a pink that we see a lot from OPI, a medium pink cream. I had to compare them for myself but this one is definitely more berry toned than the others. This one had a fantastic formula and I needed two easy coats with topcoat below.
Queen of the Road-
This polish is a unique metallic deep charcoal grey/black polish. I found this one to dry a little bit matte but the formula was smooth and easy to apply. I used two coats with topcoat below.
The Sky's My Limit-
Of course I had to save the best for last. The Sky's My Limit is a gorgeous medium blue with tons of gold shimmer. It's just a stunner, so dynamic, and is gorgeous on the nail. With polishes similar to this, I have found they can be sheer but I didn't come across that problem with this one. I used two easy coats with topcoat below.
So my final thoughts on this collection are a little mixed. On one hand, the theme isn't my favorite and some of the colors aren't the most original. I have to give it props for mostly fantastic formulas and that blue is just killing it. I would love to know your thoughts on this collection. Do you plan on picking any of them up, if so, which ones? I will have comparisons of all the colors in the next day or two and I also created some awesome nail art with them as well!
Cute! My favourite is "Girls Love Ponies" :)
ReplyDeleteLovely swatches! I am definitely a fan of the blue and blackish dark brown colour. the red-orange is great too and i believe it is the new red shade for the 2015 mustang which is in celebration of the 50 years which is why i think OPI didn't go with the cherry red.
ReplyDeleteTo me this is a pretty boring collection EXCEPT THE LAST ONE WHICH IS BEAUTIFUL- ah! I also feel like OPI had a million collections this year...
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice collection!

ReplyDeleteYeah, I totally expected a LOT more cherry in this red, but the orange lean is beautiful!
