OPI Ginger Bells!

Today I have OPI's Ginger Bells to show you! It is from the 2009 Winter Wishes holiday collection. The same one as Merry Midnight, Sapphire in the Snow and Holiday Glow.

OPI Merry Midnight

This colour is so bang on trend at the moment. As soon as I walk into a clothing store, you've got the muted blues/navys, reds, yellows, red-y browns, khakis and chartrueses. I absolutely love all of those colours, I think I may actually have a polish in all of those too...

I am wearing two coats here. The coverage is nice from Ginger Bells. The formula is a little bit runny, but it's quite easy to control.

I never thought I would like this colour, but I've always had an interest in it. I finally bit the bullet and ordered it. It is discontinued, shouldn't be too hard to find though!

MAC Lucky Number

I've been meaning to post Lucky Number for awhile now, but I couldn't get any nice pics!

Lucky Number was released with MAC's holiday collection for 2009, Magic, Mirth & Mischief.

It's pretty much done on one coat, but I think it needs the second just to patch it up.

The formula is similar to the China Glaze Romantiques. On the thick side but gives you amazing coverage.

I wasn't fussed at all on Lucky Number when it first came out, but after seeing it on a few of the MAC SAs I decided to get it. I'm still not interested in the silver one though. Silver doesn't look all that great on my skin tone.

I'm betting this would work well with Konad :)

OPI Merry Midnight

I was really unsure of whether to go for Merry Midnight when it first came out. Then to mum and mines surprise, a store had just put the Holiday Wishes display out!

It was so good to see them in real life. As soon as I saw Merry Midnight in the bottle I knew I had to have it. I mean, it's one of OPIs first flakies!

Ok so Merry Midnight was released in the collection 'Holiday Wishes' for Christmas 2009. (Oh my gosh I'm so excited for what they will bring us this year!)

Merry Midnight has an eggplant base to it with heaps of silver micro shimmer, blue glitter and a tonne of flakies!

The flakies aren't quite as visible as an NFUoh is, but hey, at least we know OPI can do it! Maybe they have matte flakies in the making? :D

The formula was alright. It was a little sheer but you really do need that sheerness for flakies to get them to show through and give you depth when adding another coat.

I used two coats here, could have possibly used another but I think it looked ok :)

Did you go for the flakies? If not/did how come?

OPI Winter Wishes 2009

Ok so we are seeing pics of the Holiday collection before the Fall/Winter collection lol, I am not complaining! Any promo pics are good pics!

A lot of these colours have me excited! Escpecially the Ginger Bells, Sapphire In The Snow, Holiday Glow, Merry Midnight and Dear Santa...

Which ones are screaming "buy meeeee" to you? Or none at all?
