OPI My favorite Ornament

When I first ordered this polish, I didn't think I would like it, but I needed a golden polish in my stash for the holidays and some sparkle in nail art. I looked at a lot of swatches and I thought this was the nicest one I could find because it wasn't so... yellow. So when the package arrived, imagine my surprise when I fell in love with this polish as soon as I took it out! So much so, that I've allready worn this polish 4 times and I only got it mid December.

OPI My favorite Ornament is a white golden micro glitter. It's part of the Mariah Carey Holiday 2013 collection and will only be available for a little while longer.

The formula is perfect! It's so densly packed with glitter, it's opaque in 2 - 3 coats, depending on how thick you make your coats. It flows on the nail with ease and it dries in seconds! It does dry a little rough, so a top coat to smooth it out is a good idea.

2 coats, with top coat

I think this might be my new favorite glitter polish, it's just so beautiful! I only just took it off and am allready thinking about putting it back on. I really hope OPI decides to make this a permanent shade, but I'm not going to take that risk and am contemplating getting a back up, just to be sure.

What's your favorite gold or silver polish?

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?
