Pepe's Purple Passion



Name: Pepe's Purple Passion

Collection: 2011 Holiday Muppets Collection

Colour: Deep Purple with Glassy Fuchsia Flecks

Coats: 2

Pros: I love purple so I was really excited when I saw this in the bottle; I was even happier when it looked exactly the same on my nails. Unfortunately, my camera didn’t pick up the lovely glassy flecks that make this a perfect of combination of polish and glitter. This was refreshing (for my nails and my nail polish remover!) after the many glitters in this collection. Finally, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it didn’t stain my nails and fingers.

Cons: A little streaky for the first coat and quite difficult to control on the second so I needed do some touching up.

Similar Shades: “We’ll Always Have Paris” and “Mrs. O'Leary's Bbq” are similar shades that are glossy crèmes without the sparkle.

Honk If You Love OPI


Name: Honk If You Love OPI

Collection: Touring America

Colour: Dark Grape Purple

Coats: 2

Pros: Great quality brush makes this high gloss colour easy to apply. Nice for people looking for a dynamic dark shade that is not your typical black.

Cons: I was disappointed to find that this polish dulled over time and wore away at the tips. Sometimes this dramatic purple shade looks too dark and can appear black.

Similar Shades: OPI "Lincoln Park After Dark" is also a deep purple but has more prominent wine undertones. OPI "Siberian Nights" is really close to "Honk If You Love OPI"
