OPI Starlight
I have a lot of upcoming reviews and swatches of the new OPI collections, so let's get on with this one! This is OPI's Winter 2015 collection called Starlight. The theme of the collection is obviously all heavenly bodies twinkling and sparkling, so there is a good number of glitters and shimmers in this bunch. Below are my swatches and thoughts on the collection.
OPI Comet Closer is a warm-toned silver metallic. A little streaky but pulls off the metallic, starry theme well.
OPI I Drive a SuperNova
OPI I Drive a SuperNova
OPI I Drive a SuperNova is one of the prettiest metallics from this collection. It's a very metallic foil silver. It is surprisingly quite easy to apply and is not streaky.
OPI Is This Star Taken?
OPI Is This Star Taken? is a warm silver metallic with a weird finish. It has bar glitter which is NOT a good look with metallics. Looks very uneven and lumpy.
OPI I'm in The Moon For Love
OPI I'm in The Moon For Love is a nice berry shade with pretty shimmer. Nice shade that can transition into spring.
See the rest of the swatches after the jump!
OPI By The Light of the Moon
OPI By The Light of the Moon is a silver metallic with glitter. Not a fan of these combined glitter and metallic formulas as the texture is very lumpy.
OPI Love Is In My Cards
OPI Love Is In My Card is a beautiful warm red cream! Not very unique in terms of color, but the formula is great and such a dream to appy.
OPI Ro-Man-ce on the Moon
OPI Ro-Man-ce on the Moon
OPI Super Star Status
OPI Super Star Status is silver micro-glitter with a scattering of black micro-glitter in a clear base. This is one of the nicest glitter polishes in this collection. Looks very clean and yet eye-catching.
OPI Let Your Love Shine
OPI Let Your Love Shine
OPI Let Your Love Shine is a dark vampy shimmery red. I like this better than OPI Ro-Man-ce on the Moon as the darker red looks quite elegant.
OPI Give Me Space
OPI Give Me Space
OPI Give Me Space is one of my top faves from this collection! It's a beautiful mid-tone blue with scattered holographic finish. Just gorgeous.
OPI Cosmo With A Twist
OPI Cosmo With A Twist
OPI Cosmo With A Twist is a dark eggplant purple shimmery finish. I love this!
OPI Two Wrongs Don't Make a Meteorite over OPI Cosmo With A Twist
OPI Two Wrongs Don't Make a Meteorite is a copper hex glitter with angled glitter and gunmetal diamond glitter topper in clear base. I am trying to stay away from chunky glitter toppers after becoming obsessed with them for more than three years, so this is not a favorite.
OPI Ce-Less-Tial is More
OPI Ce-Less-Tial is More
OPI Ce-Less-Tial is More
OPI Ce-Less-Tial is More is a chunky rose-toned silvery glitter. I like the rose hue, but it is a bit too chunky for my taste.
OPI Press * For Silver
OPI Press * For Silver is so gorgeous! It's a beautiful warm rosy silver, but looks more like rose gold to me. One of my top faves from this collection!
OPI Infra-Redy to Glow over OPI Press * For Silver
OPI Infra-Redy to Glow
OPI Infra-Redy to Glow is another hex glitter topper and angled glitter in a clear base. I am not a fan of chunky glitters, so this is not a favorite.
OPI No More Mr. Night Sky
OPI No More Mr. Night Sky
OPI No More Mr. Night Sky is a nice gunmetal-y polish with silver shimmer effect. This is a nice take on a darker polish as the shimmer gives a unique finish.
OPI Center of the You-Niverse
OPI Center of the You-Niverse is a very pretty black-based polish with silver shimmer and micro-glitter. This is a nice one, and I will be using this if I like a dark, edgy look.
All in all, I am quite overwhelmed by the sheer number of silver metallics in this collection. I feel that there are way too many polishes that look very similar to each other. I do like the more unique ones like Center of the You-Niverse, No More Mr. Night Sky, Press * For Silver and Give Me Space. As always, OPI formula is for the most part really amazing and a dream to apply, and staying power is excellent.
This collection retails for $10.00 a pop and is available at professional salons and ULTA stores nationwide.
