OPI Rainbow Connection: Muppets Collection 2011

Do i dazzle you?

This is kind of how I would imagine my fingers would look like after being dipped in Edward Cullens ashes.

Sparkling  fairies aside - this is the most amazing glitter I have ever owned. I looked everywhere for a bottle of this HTF beauty , and found it on ebay for £16, and even though my bank account begged me not to do it and my wallet shriveled up and died, I had to have it!

I could of gone for the cheaper  Technic Carnival Dupe (which is awesome) or the Nicole & Milani Dupes but I wanted the original.

I don't know why though, after my purchase and the  excitement had worn off I realized  It's not a polish I would immediately go for.   I think it's just the HTF enigma with popular (soon to be rare) polishes; and my excuse is, 'It's a good investment" 

               
























This is one of those  polishes that  looks amazing in and out of the bottle. I didn't want to layer this so I went all out and built a fortress of glitter on my nails - I just know by looking at it that this is going to take forever to remove, so I am pretending that problem doesn't exist.....

Excuse the tip wear. When you have children asking you every 5 mins to "feed me, open this,  reattach my dolls head, brush my hair"   etc and your nails are still tacky, you will lose polish and kick yourself for not doing this when they are at school.

                            Inside                                                                                           Outside

All images = a bazillion coats (5) This took forever and a day to dry, and when you have children this is a nightmare that even Seche Vite cannot fix

                                                          One Coat Under Artificial Lighting

One coat just looks blah and awful.  It looks like my mani is half finished.   I would recommend layering this or you will lose a half a bottle of polish if you use more than 2 coats at a time. Although the glitter does not sparkle it is  incredibly shiny. I would also recommend a top coat , because the glitter does stick out and snag, especially in your hair,  if you are wearing 3-5 coats like I am. 

Overall: I adore this! and can't wait to get my hands on the other dupes so I can compare.
