OPI Swatch Spam! (5 polishes)

Hello my polish friends, welcome to Friday.  I hope this week went well for you.  Yesterday was my two week surgery follow-up.  It went well, I got all of my bandages removed.  Based on how bad my gallbladder was, the surgeon said he knew I was going to have a rough recovery...I didn't know that though.  I won't be going back to work Monday, I'll at least need another half a week to a week of recovery.  I kind of figured that though.  Anyways, back to the polish, let's get to the swatch spam!

OPI Italian Love Affair-

This polish is a recent TJMaxx find at one up in Chicago.  This polish originally comes from the Spring 2001 Italian Collection and I would consider it a cotton candy pink with a pearly quality to it.  I don't see this pearly quality very often but I liked it with the pink because it was fun and girly. 

The formula was surprisingly opaque and not at all sheer like I thought it was going to be.  Even though it was opaque, it was a little but streaky but if you're careful, you can get away with two coats.  Below is two coats with topcoat.

OPI Meet Me on the Star Ferry-

Another recent polish buy, I ordered this one from Ulta because the OPIs were buy two get one free (right now until the 25th).  I ended up picking up six polishes for myself and I was really happy with this one.  This polish comes from the Spring 2010 Hong Kong Collection which I am slowly trying to acquire because I have personally lived in Hong Kong!

This polish is very unique and very beautiful.  It's a shimmery warm mauvy purple that's also very metallic.  I didn't have any formula issues, it applied smooth and buttery.  Two coats with topcoat below.

OPI Berlin There Done That-

This one was also with that recent Ulta purchase during the OPI sale. This polish comes from the Fall 2012 Germany Collection and it's a medium taupe cream.  The formula on this one was great and I had no issues at all.  I used two coats with topcoat below.  

OPI Lincoln Park After Dark-

You guessed it, another Ulta polish.  I actually went this long without having this polish in my collection.  I actually think I have this as a mini, an unlabeled mini, that I've had for many years but I just couldn't be sure the color.  

Lincoln Park After Dark is originally from the Fall/Winter 2005 Chicago Collection but it is now part of the core collection.  It's a deep dark purple and it pretty much looks black in all lights.  It's deep and vampy and I'm in love with it.  It's got a great formula and it's perfect in two coats.  Two coats with topcoat below.

OPI Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous-

Last but not least is a monthly swap polish that I had yet to use.  This polish comes from the Fall 2010 Swiss Collection and is a dark smoky silver metallic foil.  This one does start out a little bit sheer so it does need three coats to be opaque.  I used three coats with topcoat below.

Do you have any of these shades in your collection?  What do you think of them?
