Hi Goddesses
For those of you who've read this blog since it started, you'll know that mainly I've been critical about everything OPI has released over the last 2 years. I've found their collections to be boring, uninspired and just ... dull. But 2013 was the year they turned all that around :)
Let me take you back in time 3 years. My polishaholica had just been born, and OPI was my gateway drug. I bought shitloads, and I mean SHITLOADS of polishes in those first 6 months, snapping up job lots on eBay, and falling in love with the various collections.
About this time they also released Pirates of the Caribbean - one of their best, full of delicious pastel creamy pearl colours - and then ... it stopped. The colours got drab. Some of them got yucky. They went from must-have to "can live without that". And that's just sad.
So I have LOVED this OPI year we've had - it's as if they've come back to life, resurrected by Liquid Sands and utterly inspired by San Francisco. Sure, they've still released some collections I haven't cared for, but doesn't every brand?
So here are the 8 OPIs I've loved this year - and seriously, I can't believe I've loved 8 - bravo OPI, bravo!
Can't Let Go - Liquid Sand
Can't Find My Czechbook - turquoise perfection
My Vampire Is Buff - THE perfect base for nail art. You need this.
The Impossible - Liquid Sand. Red plus purple = kills Crumpet everytime.
Matte Top Coat. My favourite one out there.
Baby Please Come Home - Liquid Sand, purpley, aaaah.
Peace, Love and OPI - wow, duochrome amazingness
In My Santa Suit - so hot it GLOWS - glorious
Finally, I'm certain that Muir Muir On The Wall would have made the list ... IF I had gotten round to wearing it ... too many great polishes, too many.
Check back in a couple of weeks to see how OPI did in the Readers Poll. Which was your favourite OPI this year? And do you think they've turned the corner?
