OPI Skyfall - Part 1

The OPI Skyfall collection released for this holiday season celebrates the 50th anniversary of James Bond and the new movie coming out soon. The collection includes everything from cream to shimmer to metallic polishes that are perfect this time of year. This is the first half of the collection and the rest I will show you tomorrow. I hope you'll enjoy the swatches...


Goldeneye
Clear base packed with gold flecks. It is as though OPI took those little gold flecks that keep popping up in polishes and stuffed them all into one bottle with a clear base. I Love it! It took three coats to get full coverage. My topcoat didn't react well with this polish and bunched up all the flecks, so I reswatched with no top coat to show this beauty...




All the little flecks perfectly laid out....
