Take The Stage By OPI

This is a gorgeous orange-ish/reddish copper colour! It's a non-streaky metallic colour. The formula and the application is amazing. It reminds me of Lucerne-tainly look marvelous by OPI. I love it! This nail polish is ideal for fall time but I still bought it, even though it's spring. It's very opaque but it looks best with two coats. It also has shimmer/glitter particles which shine/sparkle in the sun. Like all glittery nail polish, it's harder to remove. Overall, this is a beautiful nail polish and I will be wearing it a lot.

Green-Wich Village By OPI

I love bright colours that stand out. I really wanted a neon green nail polish and Green-Wich Village was almost a neon green. I like the nail polish and I'm wearing it right now. It takes three coats to get the pretty green colour. It applies very sheer but after three coats, it looks fantastic! This nail polish is kind of a pale neon green. I thought it would be brighter but I still like it. This colour is perfect for fall time (I got it a season too late) but I'm still gonna wear it a lot. Green-Wich Village looks amazing with Black Shatter by OPI on top.

Lucerne-Tainly Look Marvelous by OPI

I love this nail polish! It's a beautiful gray with white/silver shimmers. It's really nice. This nail polish goes on semi-sheer but builds up well.  This actually reminds me of the snow piles that collect in parking lots during the winter.  As the snow gets mixed with the bits of asphalt the plows churn up, it takes on this graphite appearance. It’s just not as sparkly in snow. I'm addicted to this colour.

Black Shatter By OPI

Katy Perry recently came out with an OPI nail polish collection. It consists of five different nail polishes. 
 

1) Last Friday Night (light blue shimmer)
2) Not Like The Movies (gray gunmetal)
3) The One That Got Away (shimmery burgundy)
4) Teenage Dream (pink with rainbow-coloured shimmers)
5) Black Shatter (black with a shatter effect) -------->




I went to the mall about two days ago to buy Black Shatter. I went to about three stores and they were all sold out!!! As I was leaving, I saw a nail polish stand and decided to ask one last time. I couldn't believe my luck! This store had Black Shatter in stock!
I got home and applied Black Shatter on top of a gold-yellow base coat. It looked really cool! It takes a while to get used to the concept. If you put too much Black Shatter on, the shatter effect won't be as good but if you put too little, it won't look good either.
When I first saw the finished product, it was kinda weird and cool at the same time. Over time, you get more used to it.Each nail is different.
One thing is that you need a base coat. Preferably a light or bright colour. Black Shatter doesn't show as well on a dark base coat.
Over all, I love this nail polish. It's different and looks cool.
Two things that I dislike is that the nail polish wand had a bit of dry clumps on it and it cost me $20.
I would repurchase this.
