Rainbow Connection

Name: Rainbow Connection

Collection: OPI Holiday Muppets Collection

Colour: Multicoloured and Silver Circle Glitter

Coats: 2 on top of 1 coat of solid polish (I’m wearing “French Quarter For Your Thoughts” underneath)

Pros: I know this review is a little late because the Muppets Collection was a limited time release but if you already have this polish or can get your hands on it, it’s definitely a great buy. I just had to review “Rainbow Connection” because I rediscovered it yesterday and I absolutely love it! I passed it over the first time because as you can see from my group review of the other glitters in this collection, I was extremely disappointed (http://opinionatedaboutopi.blogspot.ca/2011/10/muppet-glitters-fresh-frog-of-bel-air.html). This polish is super fun and shiny so it is great for celebrations and parties!

Cons: You really have to glob this polish on and do a base coat so it can be time consuming and use a lot of polish. Also, the circle glitter can sometimes stick out and get caught on stuff which is super annoying. After this happened a couple of times though I made the mistake of peeling all of the polish off my nails and ended up with damaged and weak nails so please resist the urge or you will regret it. Luckily because it’s a glitter it’s super easy to seamlessly patch it up.

Similar Shades: “Save Me” from this year’s Nicki Minaj collection is also a multicoloured glitter but its confetti glitter gives a really unique effect and provides more coverage.

Save Me!

Name: Save Me!

Collection: Nicki Minaj Collection

Colour: Silver Glitter with Thin, Multi-coloured Confetti

Coats: 2

Pros: This glitter is so glitzy and fabulous! I have never seen confetti glitter in an OPI polish before so this was a new and exciting take on glitter for me. I was surprised at how well it covered my nails as OPI has been making quite a few glitters lately that I can only use as a top coat.

Cons: I dislike the texture that the confetti leaves as it is rough and gets caught on clothing causing chips. Like “Metallic 4 Life” this Nicki polish also chips along the nail tips pretty quickly, yet is difficult to remove.

Similar shades: The only similar polish I can think of is Muppet’s “Rainbow Connection” as it uses silver and multicolour glitter, only with bigger circles instead of confetti and less coverage.

Excuse Moi

Name: Excuse Moi

Collection: OPI Holiday Muppets Collection

Colour: Bright Pink and Multi-coloured Mini Glitter Circles

Coats: 2

Pros: This polish has great coverage for a shimmer, something I have found lacking in a number of the glitters from the Muppets Collection. It looks so beautiful when it catches the light with its combination of pink and multi-coloured mini glitter circles. Also I love that it dried so fast because there is nothing worse than having a perfect glitter ruined with smudges.

Cons: Like many glitters this polish tends to flake off in big chunks and is otherwise difficult to remove.

Similar Shades: This polish looks a lot like the new “DS Bold” with the addition of mini versions of the multi-coloured circles in “Rainbow Connection.” You could also try “Teenage Dream” for a light pink version of “Excuse Moi”
