OPI Simmer and Shimmer. This polish was a part of OPI’s Holiday 2010 Burlesque Collection and it is GORGEOUS! It is a lighter blue with lots of silver, gold, pink and orange micro hexagonal glitter. I applied two thick coats here and it’s perfectly opaque! I wish I bought more from this collection because they are so pretty. The glitter looks so fantastic in person and everybody loves it! The only downside to glitter polishes as most of you may know is the removal. They are such a PAIN IN THE BUTT to get off. Using 100% pure acetone helps but you still need to soak them and scrub like crazy. And the glitter gets everywhere so I always plan on taking a shower afterwards haha! My camera had a hard time focusing on the glitter but here are photos in the sunlight, inside with natural lighting and fluorescent lighting(in that order).
Oh and I have some bad news about my camera…it won’t turn on or do anything! =( At first I thought the battery was just dead so I charged it overnight. Then next morning I tried to turn it on and I got NOTHING...completely dunzo! I have NO idea what happened. Luckily I bought coverage for it, so I took it to Best Buy last night and they sent it in for repair. They said it could take 3-4 weeks before I get it back though =( but I’m going to ask my parents if I can borrow their camera in the meantime, so hopefully I can continue to blog =)
Its crazy how different the polish looks in natural and fluorescent lighting. Glitter is definitely a pain to remove. I remember I saw a video on YouTube {of course!} on how to remove glitter polish without all that rubbing and elbow grease and mess. Here's the link:
