Mani Monday's: Texture

Happy Monday everybody! Today's theme is texture and since I already showed my favorites (Solitaire and Alcatraz), I decided to try the newest edition to my texture stash.

OPI Kiss me at Midnight is a bright iceblue base with silver glitter. It has the liquid sand finish and is part of the Mariah Carey Holiday 2013 collection.

Because of the stupid weather and lack of good picture taking light, I had to get creative... this is taken while balancing of the door handle on my front door, lol

The formula is really nice, easy to apply and completely opaque in 2 thin coats. The dry time is, like all the liquid sand polishes, extremely fast. I love the color, but I could have done without so much of the silver glitter. It gives depth to this polish, but that could have been achieved with a bit less silver.

I like this polish, but I have to admit, I'm not the biggest fan of textured polishes. They annoy me just a little bit... every time I run my fingers through my hair, it sticks to the stupid grittiness of this polish, I just don't like the way it feels when I touch anything to be honest.

What do you think about the textured polish trend and what is your favorite?

OPI Solitaire

FINALLY!!!
Finally, finally, finally!!!

That's all I can think when looking at my nails today :D
Finally, a white I can pull of! And I'm not just pulling it off, I wear the heck out of this polish! It looks stunning, if I do say so myself!

And I'm finally able to wear it. This polish only took 3 months to get to me. I ordered it in May, but something went wrong with the delivery, the package was returned to the States and had to be resend... long story short... it took 3 months to get here.

But it's here and I LOVE it!

I love white nails, but unfortunately white just doesn't like me..
I'm just too pale, but I have to admit, that doesn't stop me from wearing white polish every now and again.

Not this one, this is a beauty and I'm in love. OPI Solitaire is a white liquid sand polish, with a skattering of silver sparkle. This polish is part of the recent Bond Girls Collection and was named after Solitaire (played by Jane Seymour) in Live and let Die.

The inspiration

The polish

It's just gorgeous! It glides on the nail with a perfect consistency, it's opaque in 2 coats and dries really fast. Maybe not as fast as the other liquid sands, but fast enough. No topcoat needed because of the liquid sand finish, so this was an easy, fast mani.

Just look at this stunner, I can't get enough!

2 coats

I've seen a lot of swatches and in most of them, the silver glitter is a lot more noticable. I have to say, I don't mind that mine looks more white and seems to have less silver in it.

There's just nothing bad to say about this polish, I'm over the moon, if you hadn't noticed, lol.
I could show you another 20 pictures (yes, I took that many!) and they would all look stunning.

Ok, just one more :D

What's your favorite textured polish?
