OPI Skull & Glossbones

Quite possibly my new favourite polish. Or... coming a close second behind Who The Shrek Are You. This is Skull and Glossbones from OPI's Pirate's of the Caribbean collection.

I'm not all too sure on what to call this colour. It's a bit grey, it's a bit beige, even a nude! Maybe? Not 100% sure what it is, but I like it. I did need three coats but I think like Mermaids Tears and Steady As She Rose, I applied the coats too thinly which started to pull off colour from undernieth. They are pastels and they are a little bit chalky.

It almost reminds me a bit of those three nudes from OPI's Japanese collection. Miso Happy With This Color, Let Them Eat Rice Cake and Have a Tempura Tan-trum.

I'm seriously thinking Skulls is back-up material.

OPI Steady As She Rose

I finally have the Internet back and it's uploading my photos no problem now :) Today I have Steady As She Rose from OPI's Pirate's of the Caribbean collection. A very sweet and delicate pink creme.

I just love this. It's not an overly yellow or blue pink, it's just right. It does have that dusty quality to it like the rest of the collection which makes it just that much nicer.

I did need three coats however. I think I was using the polish to thin though, it seemed to to work better when I used thicker coats. I've got loads of polishes ready to post for you, so keep checking back!

OPI Mermaid's Tears

Mermaid's Tears is from OPI's Pirate's of the Caribbean collection. I only picked up four out of seven; Mermaid's Tears, Steady as She Rose, Skulls & Glossbones and the silver shatter. I am just smitten with all of them!

I didn't really like the other three that much. Sparrow Me The Drama and Planks A Lot seemed to be brighter than the rest, and Stranger Tides just looked weird against my skin.

Here I am wearing two coats. Lovely coverage with Mermaid's Tears, very nice formula as well.

This colour took me back to when Peppermint Patti was a big thing and everybody started doing minty greens and blues. Mermaid's Tears, like the rest of the collection, has a dusty quality to it. So it's a lot greyer than most mint greens. However! The OPI display I looked at was right beside Orly's new lot, Precious. Ancient Jade looked to be just a smidgen off of being a complete duplicate.

Mermaid's Tears is one of my new favourites. I just love all the colours being released at the moment.
