OPI Muppets Collection - The Glitters!

  Okay, this is a couple of days later than I said, but I am still sick.  Arg.  Anyway, here is the second half of the OPI Muppets Holiday 2011 collection - the glitters!  Originally, I was the most excited for these glitters, although in the end... well, they were not everything I had hoped for, but they are still fun.  And there was an unexpected favorite that I love!  I did these swatches a bit different - on index, middle, and pinkie fingers, I did three coats of the glitter by itself.  On the ring finger, I did one coat of glitter over a matching or complimentary base color.  All are shown with top coat.  Enjoy!

Gone Gonzo!

Outdoor, natural light
 Turquoise-blue small glitter with silver large hex glitter suspended in a clear base.  I felt this one covered a bit better in three coats.  Ring finger is one coat over OPI Austin-tatious Turqouise.

Fresh Frog of Bel Air

Natural Light
 Medium green  small glitter and silver large hex glitter in clear base.  Ring finger is one coat over Zoya Ivanka.  The green really accentuates my yellowed nails... haha.

Divine Swine

Natural Light
 Magenta-purple small glitter, large silver hex glitter in clear base.  Ring finger is one coat over OPI The One That Got Away.

Gettin Miss Piggy With It

Natural Light
 This one has red small glitter and large silver hex glitter in a clear base.  However, it also seems to have some slightly pinkish large hex glitter in it as well, giving it a touch of added depth.  Ring finger is one coat over OPI An Affair in Red Square.

Rainbow Connection

Natural Light
 This one is full of small and large rainbow glitter.  It has a wide variety of colors included in the rainbow glitter, and seems to cover a bit better than the other glitters on its own.  Ring finger is shown over Sally Hansen Xtreme Black Out.  Very similar to DL Happy Birthday, but different.  A dupe for Nicole by OPI Rainbow in the S-Kylie.

Excuse Moi!

Natural Light
 My surprise absolute favorite of the entire 12-piece collection.  This medium pink covers very well in three coats (and all four fingers are three coats of it alone, unlike the others).  It is full of silver and pink microglitter, and then topped off with a bunch of medium-sized multicolor glitter.  This is such a gorgeous color!  I wore it for my third anniversary.  Simply amazing.

Overall Review

I was a tiny bit disappointed in how sheer most of these glitter were, but they are still very fun for layering over other polishes, or even over other glitters from the collection for a fun and different look.  My choice for one must-have polish is of course Excuse Moi, although since I didn't have any rainbow glitters before personally I am also a big fan of Rainbow Connection.  I feel like I am maybe getting a bit glittered out?  I didn't know it was possible but it might be happening.  However, these are fun glitters and Excuse Moi is amazing.  Overall, I was pleased with the entire 12-piece collection.  Now I need to see that movie when it comes out for rent!  :)

  2. My faves are Rainbow Connection and Excuse Moi! As much as I like glitter, I think the others are just too sheer for me. Thanks for showing them layered!
