![]() There is a depth and richness to this shade that appeals to me (you can see it better in the 2nd photo, taken under artificial light), but I know it’ll just be another purple that I keep NOT wearing regardless. Every time OPI comes out with a shade like this ( Dutch’ya Love OPI?, Lost My Bikini in Molokini, Purpletual Emotion…), I’m like ‘eh’ – even though they all look flattering on my skintone, I just can’t get into these types of purples. I’m in the Moon for Love – this is a medium plum shimmer with golden micro-shimmer. I think this is a very sexy shade – and it’s NOT near black, which makes me happy. It’s an easy formula to work with overall, despite needing that extra coat (though it’s a *touch* staining). It’s very glossy on it’s own – the shot above is with no top coat. It looks a touch streaky in the swatch above, but IRL it’s not, though you do need 3 coats to reach full opacity. I’m working my way through the swatches though so I will have them all up before Christmas, I promise! Today I’m bringing you the first 6 which are the more moody, mysterious hues of the 18 shades in the collection (which, if I’m being honest, is INSANE – 18 colors!? When did polish collections get so HUGE?).Īll swatches were taken in natural light unless otherwise specified. I keep wanting to change my mani every day to try them all fully (but ain’t nobody in THIS house got time for that, sadly). I am extremely surprised at how much I’m enjoying the Starlight holiday collection from OPI – metallics and glitters are generally NOT my jam, but these are really doing it for me so far! The sparkle on a lot of these really is ‘out of this world’ (cue the cheese) and they look so pretty and festive in the dim light cast by the fire and/or Christmas tree. ![]() BUT I did finally get her down (I keep checking the monitor with fingers crossed that she’ll stay asleep for awhile) so what better time than to get these pics & post up? Today she also thought resisting nap time was a great idea, so I’m just plain worn out. I’ve had these swatches done for a few days but Elena is keeping me on my toes, as usual! She’s been waking up at 4am for the past few weeks and is ready to PAR-TAY, she thinks it’s time to get up for the day and I’m DANG tired.
