OPI Burlesque Collection Holiday-Design Nail Arts

I am a bit late with swatches of the OPI latest collection but I still think these are worth looking at again and again :) The Burlesque collection consists of twelve polishes...six shimmers and six glitters. I wanted the collection so bad since I first saw the promo pictures. From that time many months have passed and I saw a lot of swatches on other blogs. Some wrote the collection is overhyped. You want to know what I think? Well read on :)

The swatches are all without a base or top coat and are in natural daylight (no sun or lightbox).

TEASEY DOES IT!

Amazing dark brown purple. I love colors like this. Just look at the close up. This is what makes the polish look really pretty. This was two coats.

LET ME ENTERTAIN YOU!

One of my favourites. I love reds with pink sparkle. It glows so much and it is really sexy. Can´t wait to wear it as a full mani. You can do either two thick coats or three normal for full coverage.

ALI’S BIG BREAK

This is a classic Christmas red. I am sorry about the vnl, it wasn´t visible until I saw the pictures in the computer. This was two coats, next time I will do three, just to make sure :)

TAKE THE STAGE

I will be repeating myself but this glows like crazy. It is a nice warm orange. I don´t normally wear orange or colors like this but I can´t wait to try this one because I really like the way it goes with my skin. Two coats.

THE SHOW MUST GO ON

This is just so perfect. Another favourite. I have no words, just have a look at the pictures :) Two coats

RISING STAR

Goldem shimmer. Not the champagne kind of gold but reall rich gold. Great color for Christmas! Full coverage in two thicker coats.

BRING ON THE BLING

The first of the gilletrs. Like the others this has multi color glitter and looks amazing! It was also very easy to apply. Two coats.

GLOW UP ALREADY!

This is maybe my least favourite polish from the collection. I just don´t like light green on me. Two coats.

SPARKLE-ISCIOUS

On the other hand this might be my favourite glitter. I love the combination of colors used. Pink, blue, gold...they work great together! This is the only glitter polish that needed three coats.

SIMMER AND SHIMMER

Icy blue glitter, great for winter :) This also needed only two coats.

SLOW IT AN GLOW IT

Light purple, silver and other colors mixed together. Here is another favourite of mine. How many are there already? :) Two coats.

EXTRA-VA-VAGANZA

The last glitter is mostly orange. But look at the close up how many different colors are there. Amazing. Two coats.

So this is it. All twelve of them :) As for the shimmers, I know I will be wearing each and every one of them. There might be some shades that are not so unigue but there is always that brush factor which makes the OPI polishes winners for me. I also like the fact that most of the polishes are only two coaters. As for the glitters, I must apologize for my pictures but I tried my best. You just have to see these under artificial light to see the full beauty of these. They will be just the perfect thing for christmas parties. Tomorrow I am going to celebrate my birthday and I will for sure wear one of the glitters, just have to decide which one :)

I will also be posting a video, hope it will be helpful :)

I am sure a lot of you have these at home. So tell me, which are your favourites?

Chinese Glaze Stella Vs Chinese Glaze Cowgirl Up

I love Stella. It´s one of my winter favorites. I always wanted to know how different from Cowgirl Up it is. Now I know it, thanks to my friend Boruvka. They are very similar, but Stella is more "clean" purple and Cowgirl Up has more red-brown undertones. Cowgirl Up is richer, deeper. I like still Stella because of its color purity. What about you? Index finger - Cowgirl Up, middle finger - Cowgirl Up, ring finger - Stella, pinky - Stella. Both colors are in 2 coats with Essie Good To Go! top coat.

Chinese Glaze Bogie - To Design Nail Arts

This is a beautiful eggplant/plum frost with shimmer from China Glaze´s Vintage Vixen collection. It´s not brush strokey like for example a green nail polish called Cherish from the Romantique collection which I owned. I had two coats of Bogie with Essie Good To Go! top coat but another day I damaged my nail tips and wanted to take a photo so I added one more coat Bogie over the top coat :)

Je to krásná lilková/švestková ledová barva z kolekce Vintage Vixen od China Glaze. Líbí se mi, že nejsou vidět tahy štětcem po namalování třeba jako u zeleného ledového laku Cherish z Romantique kolekce, který jsem kdysi vlastnila. Měla jsem dvě vrstvy Bogie a na něm nadlak Essie Good To Go!, jenže další den jsem si odřela špičky nehtů a chtěla fotit, tak jsem přes nadlak dala ještě jednu vrstvu Bogie :)

China swatches - China Glaze Vintage Vixen 2010 -From Design Nail Arts

Thumb - Ingrid, index finger - Midnight Mission, middle finger - Bogie, ring finger - Emerald Fitzgerald, pinky - First Class Ticket. I have 2 coats of all the colors with Seche Vite top coat. They all are beautiful good covering colors. Bogie doesn´t dry shiny much. I love Ingrid, Midnight Mission and Emerald Fitzgerald but my unexpected favorite is Midnight Mission! It dries so shiny! Which of them do you like?/ Palec - Ingrid, ukazováček - Midnight Mission, prostředníček - Bogie, prsteníček - Emerald Fitzgerald, malíček - First Class Ticket. Mám dvě vrstvy všech barev s nadlakem Seche Vite. Krásné dobře krycí barvy. Bogie je zajímavý, ale mrzí mě, že neschne úplně do leskla. Moc se mi líbí Ingrid, Midnight Mission a Emerald Fitzgerald, ale můj nečekaný favorit je Midnight Mission! Je tak lesklý a krásný! Na žádných fotkách na internetu ani na mých jeho krása rozhodně není vidět! Po dlouhé době mi známí pochválili zase nějaký lak a byl to právě Midnight Mission :)

Lilac Cremes - By Design Nail Arts

From left/zleva: OPI Done Out In Deco, Zoya Zanna, OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender, Essie Splash Of Grenadine.

2 coats of all the colors, without any top coat. It´s not long ago I published a post called Peach and Melon Cremes where I asked 4 people which color do they like the most of those four. And again, the same question for 4 people and their answers:

men - Done Out In Deco and Lucky Lucky Lavender,

2 women - Splash Of Grenadine,

child - Splash Of Grenadine.

What about you?

My favourite is Splash Of Grenadine. A little jelly consistence, the most shiny of them.

Mám 2 vrstvy všech barev bez nadlaku. Stejně jako v příspěvku Broskvové a melounové barvy jsem se ptala stejných lidí, která z těchto barev se jim nejvíc líbí a tady jsou odpovědi:

muž - Done Out In Deco a Lucky Lucky Lavender,

2 ženy - Splash Of Grenadine,

dítě - Splash Of Grenadine.

A co vy?

Můj favorit je Splash Of Grenadine. A opět jako minule - je trošičku gelový a nejlesklejší ze všech :)
