Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous


Name: Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous

Collection: OPI Swiss Collection

Colour: Gunmetal with Fine Rainbow Glitter

Coats: 2-3

Pros: The brush is great for evenly distributing this rather thin polish. It dries with a smooth surface of glitter instead of the usual chunky glitter. Dramatic and edgy, this polish is totally one of my top picks from OPI!

Cons: It can look a little transparent so you will need 3 coats.

Similar Shades: I don’t know if this is just wishful thinking but I think this shade actually looks like a very toned down and fine version of “Mad as a Hatter”. A grittier version of this without the rainbow sparkles will be released soon with “Metallic 4 Life” from Nicki Minaj. Finally, “My Private Jet” is also very similar to this polish but has a little more purple and a great holographic finish.

Ski Teal We Drop


Name: Ski Teal We Drop

Collection: Swiss Collection

Colour: Dark Teal Creme

Coats: 2

Pros: A fun, strong colour that is my go to blue. It goes great with my pale skin and I love the sophisticated look of its glossy finish.

Cons: A lot of people with darker skin tones or yellow undertones dislike how this colour looks on them. Also it had a long drying time and turned my nails and fingers blue when I tried to remove it.

Similar Shades: OPI “Cuckoo for This Color” is a sparkly turquoise and “Dating a Royal” is also glossy but is more blue.
