OPI - Holland - Part 2

Today I have the second half of the Holland collection from OPI to share with you. You can find the first half here, if you missed it. These should be available for purchase on the 8th of this month. Since there is lots to show, I'll get to it... :)


Kiss Me On My Tulips
A pretty pink cream that I would best describe as Barbie pink. I used three coats plus a top coat in these swatches. Application was very good as usual. I was fascinated (and this is probably just me) that the first coat dried darker and with a frosty finish, but the following coats were lighter and shiny. Anyone else pay attention to useless stuff like that? :)

Color Name/Number: Kiss Me On My Tulips, NL H59

Pedal Faster Suzi!
A pretty lavender pink with a silver and pink shimmer. The shimmer in this one is larger and almost resembles tiny flakes. It starts out very sheer, but does build up nicely. I used three coats and could only slightly see the nail line. These swatches are with a top coat...

Red Light Ahead...Where?
This is a cross between a cream and a jelly. I don't see too much red in it, as the name would suggest. I would classify it as a coral orange. It is not nearly as neon as the last two photos would suggest, but it is a bright color. Great for spring. I used three coats plus a top coat for this one...

Thanks a Windmillion
A sea foam green cream. Application was perfect, only two coats for full coverage. I have such a weakness for these colors...

Vampsterdam
A deep plum shimmer. The polish certainly lives up to it's vampy name. The formula was very thin and runny, not what I expected. I'm not sure if it is just my bottle like that. It took three coats to build up to full coverage  Swatches are with a top coat...

Wooden Shoe Like to Know?
A milk chocolate brown with a reddish copper shimmer. Application was great, two coats for full coverage. I have been leaning toward brown polishes lately so this was right on target. I wore it as a full mani to work and loved it!

  5. Your swatches are so pretty to look at. I am eyeing Vampsterdam out of all of these (it seems most original with the metallic-ish finish)... We shall see how my pocketbook fares when I return from my Europe trip ;)

  6. @Marta, Yes, the wallet does suffer with our polish addition, but who can resist? :)
