OPI Holiday 2014: Gwen Stefani Swatches and Review Part 1
Press sample
This is Part Two of the OPI Holiday 2014: Gwen Stefani Swatches. Check out Part 1 Here!
OPI Comet in the Sky is a clear based glitter topper with a mixture of large and small black hexagons and micro glitter, with large, medium, small and micro hexagons. Not a favorite because the glitters are quite chunky. This is probably great as an accent nail because the large glitters are truly eye catchers.
OPI First Class Desires is beautiful! It's a beautiful mix of gold and eggplant shimmer. I think it's the most beautiful shade from this collection, I believe. It's dark and vampy that goes well with the season, but the sparkles make it very festive.
OPI Christmas Gone Paid is a nice emerald shade. I like that it is a deep emerald to go with the winter season. It is also a nice Yuletide green.
OPI I Carol About You is gorgeous! It is one of the prettiest colors from this collection. It is a pretty deep purple that is great for fall in winter.
In the nail look above, I added OPI Rollin' In Cashmere as a nail accent, a pretty sunshine metallic gold.
OPI Love Is Hot And Coal is one of the darkest colors in the bunch. It's a nice shimmery blackish grey with silver shimmer. Really pretty.
OPI What is Your Point-settia is a a fire-engine red creme that is your perfect holiday red. It is the quintessential red for the season.
All in all, I am liking the formula of most of the shades. I am liking how the colors are quite festive, some are vampy, and some are metallic, shimmery or glittery to herald the coming of the season. The two colors that I didn't like the formula were OPI In A Holi-daze and Comet in the Sky, but the rest were a dream to apply.
