OPI brings a wealth of luxury to nails this
fall with two new Designer Series shades.
"Fall's sophisticated fashion palette is made all the richer with the new DS Radiance and DS Magic shades from Designer Series by OPI. DS Radiance, a luxuriously rich, brilliant silver, and DS Magic, an intriguing deep blue, combine two of the season's sumptuous jeweled tones with the unrivaled elegance of the spectacular Designer Series diamond-dust formulation."
These two new shades join the nine existing DS shades, and the DS Top Coat, to offer us shoppers 11 beautiful lacquers that "reflect light in an explosion of brilliance, for ultra-rich, glimmering, dimensional color".

Dude, this is a foil polish! For Pete's sake, my nails are the exact same color as the bottle top! I really, really wanted to like DS Radiance. In fact, I did like it in the bottle. On my nails though, not so much. It looked like I had placed Reynolds Wrap on my finger tips and called it a day. It wasn't a look that worked for me, at all.
I've read word that DS Radiance may be replacing DS Coronation in the DS core line. That may well be but they're NOTHING alike, as shown below:

Left is DS Radiance and right is DS Coronation.
DS Radiance is foil at it's finest. DS Coronation is glittery and has some prismatic stuff going on that makes me smile. You could totally get by with both of these in your collection.
Next up, DS Magic:
DS Magic is described as an "intriguing deep blue".

This color is freaking to die for! Holy crap is it gorgeous!You can't see it, and trust me did I try to capture it, but there is purple infused all up in there! Normally it's a beautiful blue glittery looking polish, then you turn your hand and the purple comes out in spades! There is nothing like this that I've seen before.
Just for fun I compared it to DS Royal (which was way too purple), DS Fantasy (which was a too dark blue), and Sally Hansen HD

Sorry you didn't care for DS Radiance. I liked it. How funny that you compared it to Foil because that's exactly what I was thinking - "her nails look like they've been wrapped in Reynolds Wrap Foil!"
OMG, I freaking LOVE DS Magic. I think I orgasmed over that color!
I love the new 2, will have to add them to the rest of my collection (yes, I paid the $$ to get EVERY ONE they made...)!
hey there! I'm a new follower- I did a review of these as well a while ago- I found DS magic to be full of depth with its purple flash, and while radiance looked cool, it's been done before. Come check out my blog too at http://www.ForYourNailsOnly.blogspot.com
