OPI Metallic 4 Life

OPI Metallic 4 Life
2 coats
from the Nicki Minaj Collection (Spring 2012)
 
Metallic 4 Life was sitting in my untried for some reason, so I pulled it out and gave it a go. It's a sheer black base packed with silver hex glitter and smaller silver square glitter. I got good coverage in just two coats, which is nice, because glitter packed polishes tend to check faster on me the more coats I apply. Although this was a bit thick, it wasn't too hard to work with and actually didn't dry all that bumpy. Although I'm not wearing any topcoat in the pic above, I suspect that a coat of Gelous would smooth it right out.

OPI Red Lights Ahead...Where?

OPI Red Lights Ahead...Where?
2 coats

included in the Dutch Treats mini set
from the Spring 2012 Holland collection

 
The formula on this one is fabulous- perfection! It's a really pretty red that leans a bit coral and I think looks great on skin tone. Love love love this one!

OPI Kiss Me on My Tulips

OPI Kiss Me on My Tulips
3 coats
included in the Dutch Treats mini set
from the Spring 2012 Holland collection

 
Although I love the name of this shade (such a cute pun!), the color is nothing special and it did take three coats for me to get good coverage. I know I've got several similar colors in my collection that are just 2 coaters. But the name, oh, it's so cute!

Pedal Faster Suzi! is a nice shimmery pink, but it did take three coats for me to get good coverage. I have seen some bloggers say it just took them two coats, but I wasn't pleased with just 2. I got great wear from this.... I actually ended up wearing it for about 4 days and it still looked great on day 4-5.

NOTD: Essie Ole Caliente

Essie Ole Caliente
2 coats

Ole Caliente is from Essie's Spring 2012 collection, Navigate Her. I didn't realize I hadn't swatched it yet and I am totally on a red/coral kick so I knew I needed to wear this one.

Mr. Sasha was a big fan of this one, and I really liked it too. As usual with Essie, application was super-easy and I got great even coverage.
