Katy Perry’s collection with OPI is a bit of a weird one for me. To me it’s a bit of a hit and miss collection, and there isn’t a whole lot of consistency in it for me.
But let’s get on with the swatches and you can be the judge. All swatches are 2 coats and no top coat.
Last Friday Night
A tinted blue chunky holo glitter polish, I kind of wish this was as pigmented as it looks in the bottle. As you can see, unless you dig this look, it works better layered over a solid polish first.
Not Like The Movies
An outer space colour, no seriously, maybe it’s cause I stayed up working till 3:30am last night and so my brain is still in bed, but I can’t quite put my finger on how to describe this colour. It’s a very metallic duo chrome effect, smooth finish. Very cool.
Teenage Dream
Pink glitter with chunky holo glitter particles, I really love this one. My favourite, though as you can already tell, a royal pain to take off! I use this primarily on my toes (as I do most glitters now). Gorgeous!
The One That Got Away
A berry red with pink micro-shimmers, it’s photographing a lot more red in this swatch that it appears in the bottle. It’s a lovely shade, but it’s not at all unique. I think I have about 10 bottles of this same shade both from OPI and a number of other brands. And from Katy Perry, I expected something more unique :/
All in all, not an outstanding collection in my opinion. Maybe your thoughts are different, but this isn’t a must have collection to me (I’d probably recommend Teenage Dream). And certainly nothing here is very suitable for the office (at least not in my offices!)
I was SO disappointed by Last Friday Night! I thought it would be like Teenage Dream but blue. I ended up buying blue nail polish just to put under Last Friday Night to make it look how I imagined!
Oh wow, does it look a lot better now with the solid colour underneath? I was pretty disappointed too :'(
I thought it looked better, I wore Sally Hansen’s “Blue Me Away” underneath it to make it look more blue.
Ooh that’s a great idea 🙂 When I feel it’s time to remove the silver glitter from my toes I might try it out 🙂
great review and pictures! I was tempted to get this but I may hold off now. Although, I do love teenage dream like you recommended. Glitter nail polishes are such a pain to take off but I’m kinda addicted to them right now!
It does grow on you doesn’t it? 🙂 Thanks, I hope you found the review helpful 😀
Wow, Teenage Dream looks stunning!
Yay! 🙂 Just a pain to get off XD
