In a previous post, I told you about getting the mini-set from OPI’s Muppet Collection called “Muppettes” and I swatched the bright red “Wocka Wocka!” I’m finally getting around to the other colors. Took me long enough.
Today I put on “Designer-de Better!” and I have three words: Oh. My. Gosh. It’s a silver foil with unique copper/bronze sparkles, which make it look different and warmer than any other silvers I’ve tried. I have never seen a polish color exactly like it. Application was a little tricky only because the mini-bottle (1/8 oz.) and its brush are so tiny.
The formula was perfect — no streaking whatsoever, a great foil finish, and it dried quickly and evenly. I really think I’m going to have to get a full-sized bottle of this color. Curse you, OPI!
This is three coats with no top coat in sunlight:
And here in reflected outdoor light:
I didn’t need to use a flash; if I had I probably would have blinded myself. It’s that shiny. I’d probably use a top coat to keep it from chipping but it doesn’t need extra gloss. To really see the copper/bronze bits, here’s a closeup:
Isn’t it gorgeous? Color this one my new favorite.
WOW!!!!!!!!!! I think I may have to have a bottle of that too! It is rather formal for me but I have never cared about that anyway. I can see it on my toes right now – this summer will require some silver jewelry I can tell! Love ya OPI!!!! lol
Yes, the more I think about it the more I love it. Silver jewelry… painted toenails… summer… I like just thinking about that.
