OPI Spookette Halloween 2011 Collection Review, Swatches and Photos
Another Halloween is upon us, and unlike last year this will be the only Halloween collection I’ll feature for this year. Most of the other collections generally left me feeling a bit underwhelmed, and honestly so did this one except for one final polish, Zom Body To Love, which you’ll see at the end.
I’d say generally speaking these polishes (not sure if it is because they are only mini) were below OPI’s usual standards, I felt they were a bit more difficult to work with, thick and slightly streaky. And honestly, a crème black and white is nothing spectacular. In retrospect I’d have been better off just purchasing the last polish instead.
All swatches are 2 coats with no top coat.
I Only Date Werewolves
A crème black, definitely nothing special unless you have a particular love for black nails.
He’s My Boo
Just another crème white, but I do make a slight exception to white just because they are popular with French manicures, so you get a little bit more use (at least for me) out of white than black.
Mummy Knows Best
A pumpkin orange crème, a bit of a variation and I don’t think I have anything quite like this in my collection so if you happen to love orange on your nails this is worth a look.
Zom Body To Love
The star of the collection! A green glow in the dark polish, seriously! I think I might have to get a full bottle of this stuff if I can still find it, I’m in love with it 😀 It applies pretty clear, just a slight green tint, but turn off the lights and bam! Glow in the dark, how epic is that?
The glow isn’t consistent because mini bottles of OPI don’t come with metal beads to properly mix the formula in the bottle, one of the reasons I’m considering getting a full sized bottle… that and I’d love to overlay this polish over a normal manicure. So it looks relatively normal during the day and then you have pretty glowy nails at night 😀
Wow, I love the Zom Body nail polish – so cool! Do you think you could layer it onto other colors and still get the glow in the dark effect?
Yes! But it will change the colour of your original polish, it puts a bit of a jelly slime green frosted tint over the original colour.
Love the idea of a glow in the dark shade, very nice idea. Would be great layered over a polish as it would be day wearable then really stand out on a night out! I love the colour of Mummy Knows Best, I’m a sucker for a orange nail shade and this one seems beautiful:)
I think the glow in the day polish would be very day wearable!! It’s just like a green tint, hardly noticeable 😀
I need this.
*agreed*!
Oh woah ! That glow in the dark nail polish looks so cool! *_* I really want one now 😮
Yay! You should try it out, it’s so fun 😀
First of all, I love your name 😉
