OPI San Francisco Liquid Sand

I have started to play around and swatch the OPI San Francisco collection released for this Fall. Today, I would like to show you the three Liquid Sand shades which are part of the collection. As you might know I'm a big fan of the textured trend, but up until this point I have only used sparkle loaded, glittery textured shades. Leave it to OPI to get me to try and love something new...


For these swatches, I gave each of the shades a minimum of one hour dry time. They are dry to the touch and wearable much sooner than that, but I like to give them the extra time so they look as dry as possible...

It's All San Andreas's Fault
A textured toffee brown. It has an easy to apply formula that is opaque in two coats. I liked this a lot more in person than I do in photos. In person it looked dry, but in these photos it looks kind of muddy and wet. I have seen this in other swatches of the non-glittery textured shades and I think that might be the reason I have not been tempted to try them before. In person they look a lot better without the wet looking shine and the texture is quite nice. I'll show you some nail art that I made with it soon...

Warf! Warf! Warf!
A textured dark navy blue. It has a similar formula to the one above. Easy to apply and great coverage at two coats. I love this color a lot and couldn't stop admiring it on my nails or showing them to my bf. This is a very close second from these for me...

Alcatraz... Rocks
A textured grayish purple lacquer packed with multi-colored sparkle. This one is absolutely stunning and the photos don't even begin to do it justice. The sparkle and glitz of it is amazing and the color is beautifully complex. I'm not even sure how to describe it, but I'm in love. The formula is nice and easy to work with. Two coats for full coverage...
