I've been very selective with new OPIs lately. I just got to the point where I didn't actually need ALL the polishes! Now I'm trying my hardest to only buy big brand lacquers that I don't have something like already in my collection.
The Mariah Carey Collection had quite a few interesting releases, but I stuck to the two most special ones!
Sprung is a gorgeous orange/gold/pink micro-flake shimmer. It's another Warm & Fozzie, Pros & Bronze relative. There is a kind of foil look about it at times. I only needed 2 easy to apply coats for full coverage, whereas these micro-flakes tend to be sheer, Sprung is pretty pigmented.
Stay The Night is a light black liquid sand with deep pink glitter. I think I like the finished product because the fine pink hexes sparkle so nicely when it's matte. The formula is a little disappointing though, because the base is very thin and comes off looking like a deep brown, so I used 4 thin coats in the end for full coverage and maximum blackness! You can get away with 3 if you aren't as picky :) Dry time is longer than the average lacquer.
Here it is with two coats of Aqua Daisy Glitter Gloss:
Glitter hungry indeed! I prefer it textured.
Which are your favourites from the Mariah Carey line?

Great pictures! I got Sprung and the liquid sands.
ReplyDeleteI got Sprung too along with A Butterfly Moment. I sure wish I had grabbed up Stay The Night too. Look how gorgeous that is especially with the top coat!
