OPI Over and over a-Gwen

When I first heard OPI was doing a collaboration with Gwen Stefani I was over the moon! I love her! She has such a unique sense of style and I couldn't wait for the first swatches of her collection. When I finally saw the first pictures, I was... well... a little dissapointed to be honest. The colors seemed nothing special and there was not a single one that stood out to me.

But then I saw swatches and I knew I had to have just a couple of them. I already showed you 4 in the morning and I love it! Today I have OPI Over and over a-Gwen to show you. This is just a standard red cream, beautifull, but by no means unique. I do like the fact that Gwen's signature is printed on the cap.


The formula was nice, a little on the thin side, so be carefull to avoid flooding. It's opaque in 2 coats and dries fast. I do really like it, but I'm a red nails kind of girl :D




What made me want to buy this polish, is the fact that it comes with some lovely studs and a gorgeous box. This makes it a collectors item in my book and I wanted to display this in all its glory.
You can imagine my dissapointment when I could not get the stupid bottle to fit the box in such a way that it looks nice enough to display. Now, I just have a bottle of polish in a box... hmpf...



If anyone can tell me if it is possible and what I'm doing wrong... please do!

Do you own any polishes that you bought because of the packaging?

  2. Hm, hoort er geen hard plastic in te zitten waar je lak in kunt klikken/leggen? (Snap je wat ik bedoel?)

    Wel een prachtige rode lak trouwens!

    1. Er zit wel een plastic ding in, maar no way dat het lakje daar in past... beetje jammer...
      Maar gelukkig vind ik de lak zelf wel heel mooi!

  3. That color is gorgeous on you! Was there some kind of plastic insert in the box? I'm assuming the answer is 'no'...which is weird...maybe somebody can tell you how to fix it! ♥

    1. There was, but the bottle just doesn't fit in it...
      Luckily I love the color and will definitely get a lot of use out of it, but it not being able to display it is a bit of a bummer.

  4. I must say I was very disappointed when I saw the polishes for this collection....I was soooo excited...however I did not see anything unique. The only one I still want is 4 in the morning. This red looks great on you and is a you color! It seems like something is missing from your box! Maybe you could a piece of styrofoam of something to fit snug under the bottle?
