So today I present some OPI holiday swatches I've been holding onto. I have the entire collection but it didn't thrill me so I haven't worn it all. I also want to not hold myself to some weird pressure standard so I'll just show you the swatches I have, if I get to the rest I get to them!
Red Fingers & Mistletoes-
First up, is a red with gold shimmer. Normally I would hate this color of polish but for some reason I tried it out right away and LOVED it. For some reason it was so warm and cozy and I loved the look of the shimmer. The formula was good with two easy coats below.

Cinnamon Sweet-
Next up, another red. I wasn't thrilled with the prospect of so many reds (even though this happens every year), but again, I really liked this one. This red to me was a little bit cooler and deeper than a traditional red, which I tend to not go for. The formula was really nice and covered evenly with two coats.

Unfrost My Heart-
Last of this swatch trio is a silver foil. I was disappointed because we've seen this polish multiple times before from OPI, especially in the past year or two. There wasn't anything different about this one, just a standard silver foil. The formula was good in two easy coats.

So overall, as surprising as it is, I really liked the two reds so far and I really could have skipped on another silver foil. What are your thoughts?
Really nice colors. I just love your swatches. I would love to see you posts whenever you find the time or want to too!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're back, even if it's just randomly. Miss your swatches!
ReplyDeleteYay, it's such a nice treat to see your beautiful nails again! I say, blog when you feel like blogging and don't if you're not feeling it. I'm an email subscriber so for me it'll be a special surprise whenever a post from you shows up! :)
ReplyDeleteOh what a nice surprise to see your post in my feed this morning! Beautiful swatches as usual. :) It is important to feel that you are enjoying what you do, and sometimes having a break and a rethink can make all the difference. I heard an interesting podcast over on The Blog Maven about simplifying blogging and one of the tips was to 'follow the fun'; doing what you enjoy is the best way to stay happy and not get blog burn-out. So ... lovely to have you back; I will look forward to your swatches when you're ready to share them! :)
ReplyDeleteThis was such a good surprise! :) I'm at the point where I barely glance at the OPI Holiday offerings. That's bad, right?! I mean, I love OPI, but sooooo many reds. Those two look great on you though!
ReplyDeleteYou are one of my favourite bloggers. If you only get out one post a month I'll be happy to see it!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so glad you're back! You're absolutely right--sometimes we all just need a breather. Whenever you feel like posting, whether it's once a week, once a month, or just every once in a while, know that you and your efforts are appreciated and loved by all! <3
ReplyDeleteYes! Just come back and post whenever you're feeling like you need to share :D I always love seeing your swatches because your nails are absolutely perfect. Like serious dream nails right there!
