Nails I Love
OPI DS Original
Hellooooo Goddesses
This beautiful,
gorgeous, holo-tastic blog starts with a tale of stupidity. I first came across DS Original a few months
ago – April, maybe – when I bought some polishes from a salon that was closing
down. I wore it, loved it, received
compliments all day, and THEN DECIDED IT WAS TOO SIMILAR TO PLANKS A LOT AND
THAT I SHOULD SELL IT !!!
Can you
believe? Oh my word, that there was even
a time when I was BOTHERED that some of my polishes might be similar, or that I
would never get to wear them often enough! Pah.
So, anyways, had to buy 1 again, oops and all that, and this is another
wonderbuy from my fave eBayer Janet at http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Boulder-Creek-Boutique?_trksid=p4340.l2563
Deep breath.
Sigh. Drool. Why did I ever sell this? Doh!
Oh my words, Original is gorgeous.
Let’s start at the
dictionary shall we? ORIGINAL means
“new, fresh, inventive, novel; creative or original manner.” Let’s not forget this. When OPI launched their DS series with the
original staggering holos, I wonder if they had any idea what they’d started
? Did they know how much lust they’d
generate, how many imitators they would spawn, how holo would become a nail
maniac’s heroin?
Maybe not, but there
is no doubt that as THE Original, DS Original is probably the best example of
holo there has ever been. It holos the
pants off Glitter Gal, puts SpectraFlair in the shade, and makes any other holo
(and this even includes OPI’s own) weep with embarrassment.
Original is a beautiful
lilac-purple. Delicate and dazzling in
equal measure, it ups the volume when you get it in bright light, and dials it
down in the shade. It has more dazzle
dust per nano-particle than any other thing on the planet, and is so gossamer
thin and sheer that it’s like layering angel’s wings.
No other holo comes
close to this. Sure, some look better
from a distance, or might be a prettier colour, but the first holo still cuts
the deepest. Every particle brings its own
rainbow to the party; every droplet carries starlight; every brush stroke
breathes magic.
This IS the polish
to end all polishes. It IS the best holo
of all time. It IS pretty much near
perfect. Ladies, goddesses, it IS
Original, breath-taking, inventive and the redefinition of what we would demand
for our nails.
If your hair is
worth L’Oreal, your nails are certainly worth this. Go on, treat yourself – originality is never
a waste of money J
Enjoy oh and PS yes,
the ring finger is layered over black for a little playsie J

Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
