Review
If I am being completely honest, I was really not expecting to like these. I usually hate visible nail line and like my polishes nice and opaque. However... I am kind of in love with this finish! There is something so cool and summery about the look... it reminds me of a popsicle. The formula on these is pretty good - a bit thin but it went on nicely, didn't pool and looked great at two or three coats. These are also really, really shiny without topcoat (although I still wore a topcoat when I wore Guy Meets Gal-veston as a full mani, just to make it last). I know some people have been upset because (a) they are so sheer, (b) they are "just more jellies, not something new" and (c) there are several similar colors. However... I actually kind of like the sheerness now that I have worn them, I personally don't have many nice jellies, and it is nice to have range of colors for various skin tones. Again, I went into this kind of expecting not to like them but I have to say, these are really very nice polishes. Hats off to OPI!
What do you all think? Do you like the sorbet-like (or jelly) finish? Does the VNL really bother you? Will you/have you already picked any of these up?
Look for the shimmers and the cremes coming up tomorrow!

I'm kind of on the fence! I like them on other people, but I know that the VNL would bother me if it was my manicure. The colors are pretty, though!
ReplyDeleteOh I just love Huston we have a purple ! Really nice on you :)
ReplyDeleteXx. S
I am trying so hard to resist buying these but they're so gorgeous in all the swatches I've seen. They look like gummy candies!
ReplyDeleteI love the Big Hair Big Nails! That's my favorite of these 6! I am looking forward to the next post because those are more the colors that I was looking into buying! but these are rather nice as well!
ReplyDeleteHm... not my favorite... but
ReplyDelete1) For Houston We Have A Purple; for the caption you put a "bright berry purple shade" and I totally read it backwards and thought a "berry bright purple shade" and thought you were making a joke. Like berry = very. HAHA. I'm so lame.
2) Thank you for finally explaining VNL. I never knew what it meant before but I finally put 2 and 2 together. HA!
Now that you know I'm a weirdo I'll go back to NNN... OK>>> Guy Meets Gal-Veston looks great on you BTW :)
The more I see these the more I like them
ReplyDeleteI agree I wouldnt like the vnl but they would
Be perfect when I break a nail and have to
Cut them all short to match the broken one
And then the vnl wouldn't show as much
Overall I do want some now thanks for the
Swatches
