OPI - Divine Swine (Muppet Collection Holiday 2011)

Can I just say, this collection is so fun! This is Divine Swine from OPIs Muppet Collection. It's a totally gorgeous purplish/pinkish glitter with medium sized silver hexagon glitter. Application was easy, I used two coats but as you can see around the edges it could have used a little extra. It, like all glitters, had a grit feeling, so I used Seche Vite top coat. Overall, I loooove it!

OPI - Gone Gonzo! (Muppet Collection Holiday 2011)

Gone Gonzo! came out with the limited edition OPI Muppets Collection for the Holiday season. I've been loving this whole collection, to read more on the collection click here. Gone Gonzo! is a clear base with sky blue smaller glitter and silver larger hexagonal glitter. Totally pretty. 

I used two coats plus coat of INM Out the Door top coat.  Of course it was a pain to remove, but totally worth it! I've also done a comparison to the similar polish Revlon Blue Mosaic, if you want to see that, click here. OPI retails for $9.50 CAD and up in Canada and a little less in the states. It can be found in select salons, e-tailers, and London Drugs here in Canada.

Sky Blue Glitters: Revon Blue Mosaic compared to OPI Gone Gonzo!

About two months ago Revlon release the The Expressionist Collection, click here to see the full collection. It included a pretty sky blue sparkle nail polish called Blue Mosaic. I believe this collection will be entering into Revlon's permanent line. More recently OPI released it's limited edition collection for the holidays, The Muppets Collection. Click here to see all post related to The Muppets Collection. The Muppets collection also has a sky blue sparkle polish, its name is Gone Gonzo! While they aren't exact dupes as Blue Mosaic has some green hexagon glitter thrown in, the are very close!

OPI - Warm & Fozzie (Muppet Collection Holiday 2011)

I love this collection so so much. Warm & Fozzie was literally the first polish I grabbed off the display. I didn't know what it was but I had to have it. I wish my nails where a little bit longer!!! I feel like they have been break a lot lately. Anyways...

Warm & Fozzie is from OPI Muppets Collection for the Holidays, click here to see other polishes from this collection. It's a foil type finish bronze and I think it has some olive tones in it. It's totally gorgeous, especially for Fall! I used two coats and in the picture I'm not wearing a top coat. I eventually put a coat of Seche Vite on top and it really made it shine so pretty. This is such a perfect colour for Fozzie!

This collection is just starting to pop up in salons right now, London Drugs has them in stock, and of course you can buy through e-tailers. They retail for $9 CAD, a little less in the states. These are limited edition colours, so if you see something from the collection you like, buy while you can!

Siren Reds: OPI Gettin' Miss Piggy With It compared to China Glaze Love Marilyn

Within the last month both OPI and China Glaze put out collections with awesome red glitter polishes. I wanted to see how close these two compare. As you can see they aren't dupes but they are similar. OPI's Gettin' Miss Piggy With It is from the Muppets Collection (to see any post about this collection, including a comparison between Rainbow Connection and Deborah Lippmann Happy Birthday click here). China Glaze's Love Marilyn is from the Eye Candy Collection (to see other swatches of polishes in this collection, click here).

OPI - Designer... De Better (Muppet Collection Holiday 2011)

I'm so loooving this collection! This is OPI's Designer... De Better from the Muppets Holiday Collection. I feel like this one is a good Fall colour too as metallics are great for Fall. This is the second polish from the collection that I'm swatching. 

It's a foil polish, thats mainly silver with bronze speckles. At first glance I thought this was a rose gold colour, but looking closer it is silver/bronze.

This is one of my favourites from this collection. This collection should be hitting salons fairly soon. In Canada these are about $9-$10 CAD and in the states it a little less. OPI can be found in London Drugs, Chatters, and salons. In the states it can be found at Trade Secret, Target, and salons. 

OPI - Rainbow Connection & Deborah Lippmann - Happy Birthday Comarison

I loooove fun glitter like these! This is OPI's Rainbow Connection compared to Deborah Lippmann's Happy Birthday. When I saw Rainbow Connection, Happy Birthday was the first polish I thought of. They are very similar so did some swatches of them both. I believe I have the "old" version of Happy Birthday. I've had it since it came out so I'm assuming its the old one. The new version is suppose to have more pink glitter in it. Here is link to my post with OPI - Rainbow Connection swatches.

Bottom: Deborah Lippmann - Happy Birthday over Black Onyx

OPI - Rainbow Connection

- Has three sizes of hexagon glitter:  Large, Medium and Small 

- Has six colour of glitter: Orange, Gold, Pink, Silver, Blue, Green

- All six colours have the three sizes of glitter.

- Silver glitter is predominant with clear base

Deborah Lippmann - Happy Birthday

- Has two sizes of glitter (it's largest sizes is the same has OPI's medium size)

- Large size hexagon glitter comes in: Orange, Gold, Pink, Silver, Blue, Green

- Small glitter comes in hexagon shaped and square shaped

- Small glitter comes in the same colours has the large glitter but also with red

- Silver glitter is predominant with clear base

The differences are that OPI has three sizes of hexagon glitter to it, Deborah Lippmann has two and it's largest glitter is the same size has OPI's medium size. Deborah Lippmann has a variation of hexagon and square glitter in the small size and the small size also comes in red. 

The similarities are they do both have hexagon glitter and have majority of the same colour glitter. They both have a clear base. Both go on nicely in two coats. Both are very silver glitter predominant. 

Dupes? Not exact. But they could very well be sisters. They really do look very very similar. While they are exact dupes, I don't think anyone really needs both, they are super close.

OPI Rainbow connection is limited edition for the Holiday 2011 season. It's part of the Muppet Collection that is due out November 2011. OPI's retail for $9 CAD and a little less in the states. They can be found in salons and many drug stores.

Deborah Lippmann's Happy Birthday isn't limited edition. It retails for $20 CAD and can be found at Holts, Murale, and select boutiques.

OPI - Rainbow Connection (Muppet Collection Holiday 2011)

O. M. G. it's here! I remember seeing promo pics of the OPI Holiday Muppet Collection and just dreaming it would be here... and it's arrived! Sooo excited! The first one I'm showing you is the one with the most hype around it, Rainbow Connection! Hexagon glitters have been really in for a while now so it was only inevitable that OPI would come out with some great ones.

Rainbow Connection is a clear base with tons of glitter packed into it. I used two coats and didn't put a top coat on for these pictures. 

It has three sizes of hexagon glitter:  Large, Medium and Small 

It has six colour of glitter: Orange, Gold, Pink, Silver, Blue, Green

The colours come in all three sizes. Silver seems to be very predominant in it. OPI can be found in salons and it's popping up in more drug stores. I know London Drugs carries OPI and so does Target if you live in the states. Retails for about $9 CAD and a little cheaper in the states. This is a limited edition holiday collection, so if you see it get it while you can! I looooove it. So different and fun. I have a comaparison to Deborah Lippmann's Happy Birthday lacquer, click here to see comparison.
