I am such a huge fan of Cirque de Soleil, I remember I watched my first live show back when I was in high school, my father had received a pair of free tickets from work and offered to take me :D. It was an amazing experience and I’ve been back several times when they come around to Melbourne.
Something I love about OPI are the names they give their polishes, both clever and comical 🙂 The polishes in this collection are all pretty sheer, to achieve the pigmentation below I required 3 coats for each. I think however that was the point of this collection since it is part of the Soft Shades series.
In fact some of these colours would work great as a top coat for other colours. As always, no top coat was used. The formula was great for some, below average for others.
Step Right Up!
A very soft light pink nude, it’s not an overly unique shade but it does have a lovely milkiness to it, I found it to really compliment my own skin tone.
So Many Clowns… So Little Time
A slightly muted light pink, similar to Step Right Up! but sheering with a hint of peach in it. I found the formula for this particular polish to be difficult to work with, you can already see in swatches that it appears a bit streaky.
I Juggle… Men
A lightly tinted pink polish with pink iridescent flecks, gorgeous! You can see how pretty the flecks are in this magnified swatch.
This would be amazing as a top coat for a more pigmented polish, but it does need several coats, this polish was very sheer.
In the Spot-light Pink
A tinted pink polish, this one was incredibly sheer that I was slightly concerned the tinted colour wouldn’t show up on camera. Fortunately it did! It’s very subtle, very everyday friendly, but even for everyday I would want to use a polish that showed up more and had a bigger impact.
Not a bad collection this time by OPI, but I’ve seen better. If you’re a sheer pink sort of person, this is the collection for you. But if you want something more defined, such as nude pinks or solid colours, keep moving!
Ooh the last two colours look so pretty!
Yay! They are gorgeous 🙂
