Unless you have been living with your head in the clouds over the last month, you can't have failed to notice that there is a new Muppets film coming out shortly. Mac has brought out a very small Miss Piggy collection recently which didn't really introduce anything new, apart from a new pink eyeshadow, but OPI is going the whole hog (if you excuse the pun!) and has brought out a collection of 12 polishes, consisting of glitters and cremes themed around the new movie.
L to R: Wocka Wocka!, Excuse Moi!, Designer... De Better!, Waarm & Fozie |
OPI often bring out themed collections, and I have previously purchased the minis of the Pirates of the Caribbean collection and the Alice in Wonderland minis. I particularly like the mini collections as I very rarely finish a polish and they are super cute in mini form!
I have swatched the polishes in the mini collection below. Excuse the slightly blurry photo but it was the most accurate photo I could get of the colours. All swatches are 3 coats -Wocka Wocka! would have been fully opaque with 2 coats but I did an extra coat for consistency.

Excuse Moi! is one of the three glitters in the collection. It consists of multi-coloured glitter in a pink jelly. After 3 coats it was not fully opaque so I may try layering it over another pink or red polish to really make the glitter 'pop'. Unlike many other brands, I don't tend to find OPI's glitters a huge pain to remove and this is no exception to the rule.
Designer.... de Better is a cool silver with fine shimmer. I did find this was probably the sheerest polish of the mini collection, but it is good for when you want a more subtle polish.
Warm & Fozie is my favourite of the bunch. It is a bronze / gold fine shimmer which is not gritty on the nail and almost seems to have red shimmer running through it when you look at it in a certain light. This is very festive and will be great for Christmas parties. Again, it does take 3 coats to build up the intensity of the polish but it is a very unique colour which is completely unlike anything else I own.
Verdict
If you are looking for a good mix of festive colours which doesn't just include 4 shades of red, this mini collection is worth a look. If you are only looking to buy one polish from the collection, I would recommend Warm & Fozie, purely because it is the most unique and multi-faceted of the bunch.

The varnishes look good - need to get some of the glittery ones to wear over christmas. Saw the muppet film last week though - totally recommend seeing it.
ReplyDeleteRachael - I would certainly recommend one of the glitters for the festive season.
ReplyDeleteI adore all those colours I've seen this set a lot of blogs recently really starting to feel like I should own it too haha Xx
ReplyDeleteClaire Louise - Its a great buy, I love the pink glitter (Excuse Moi) even though I didn't think it was really going to be me.
