Pirouette My Whistle



Name: Pirouette My Whistle

Collection: New York Ballet Collection

Colour: Super fine silver glitter and silver circle glitter in a clear base.

Coats: 1-2 coats over any polish. In the pictures I am wearing 2 coats over 2 coats of “Don’t Touch My Tutu”

Pros: This is a really pretty polish on its own or as a top coat over any polish. It can be so soft and delicate looking but also really cool over darker polishes! I like that after wearing a polish for a few days I can add this over top and change the effect. This is the closest glitter I have to being professional looking and I had no trouble removing this polish.

Cons: When I tried to wear this polish on its own, I had to really glob it on so it took a long time to dry. Also since it has a clear base, your nail line will still be visible.

Similar Shades: OPI “Crown Me Already” is made up entirely of the same silver foil circles as Pirouette My Whistle for a more high impact look instead of just a top coat.

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.
