Review, Product Pictures, and Swatches: OPI Go Goth Collection for Halloween 2010

Sometimes it feels like companies are too quick in coming out with their collections. I mean, we’re not even done with summer and fall collections are coming out already. Amidst all of these collections, OPI decided to release its Halloween collection in the beginning of September. Now, I’m not gonna snore because Halloween happens to be my most favorite holiday. Just the thought of getting free candy and dressing up makes me want to piss in my pants. I think that candy is the best gift in the world. So, this year’s collection is called Go Goth and it comes with 4 OPI minis is ghoulish shades as well as a free lace cuff bracelet. The entire set will retail for $12.50. All of the colors are minis which means that they are 1/8 Fl. oz. Now, I’ve heard many things about how the minis are heard to work with, but I think that those people are definitely crazy. I have small nails (as you can tell by the swatches) and the brush is perfect for it. I also love the drying time and they pigmentation of a OPIs and these are no different. They are the exact same as full size OPIs, but these are tinier. I personally think it is too cute that they’re so mini that you can fit them in your pocket. With these, I got chip free wear for 5 days until the tips started wearing off somewhat. The shades came out just like they were described, but let me describe them in my own words again.


-Unripened: A black shade with green glitter. In the swatches, I used 2 coats.
-Nevermore: A black shade with purple glitter. In the swatches, I used 2 coats.
-Sanguine: A dark red with black shimmer. In the swatches I also used 2 coats.
-Obscurity: A matte black shade. In the swatches, I used 2 coats.

So, I don’t have to complain about any of the shades. They were excellent quality and they work really nicely with nails of any size (I used on my mom and she has huge nails). So, here are the swatches and more product pictures. Thanks for reading!








Enjoy!

Press Release: OPI Go Goth Collection for Halloween 2010

Doesn’t the thought of Halloween just wanna make you pee in your pants? I know that I get overexcited just thinking about Halloween. I still go with my younger cousins so I do get some candy, but when companies come out with nail polishes to go with this amazing holiday, I get triple excited. So, for this year’s Halloween, OPI is coming out with a mini polish collection. They will all be the mini sizes of the normal OPIs in festive colors. This year’s collection is called Go Goth. It features 4 ghoulish shades to excite everyone’s inner child. Now, I’ll try my best to review them, but I cannot guarantee anything. I have heard that the OPI minis are a bit harder to work with, but I guess I’ll have to see for myself. Here are the shade descriptions:

-Obscurity: a matte black
-Sanguine: deep, dark blood red-maroon
-Unripened: a dark glittering green

When you really think about it, Halloween isn’t that far away at all and that’s why China Glaze is coming out with a limited edition collection. This collection will consist of 3 ghoulish shades of nail polish with their signature 3 free formula. It will be available at retailers and Sally Beauty Supply stores. The three nail polishes will come with a free Fast Forward Top Coat. I don’t know about you, but I’m getting super excited about them and I’ll try reviewing them if I can get my hands on them. This entire collection looks really unique because I don’t think China Glaze has ever come out with such colors before. The collection of these three polishes is called Awakening. I don’t think it can get any mysterious than that! I suggest you all call you Sally Beauty Supply stores to ask when they will have it because these will be in limited quantities.
