OPI Brand New Skates

Okay, I finally got the one polish I was missing from OPI Holiday in Toyland- Brand New Skates.

This one was worth waiting for. It's beautiful! Have a look for yourself:


(Please click to enlarge.)

It's beautiful, isn't it? It's a deep silver or metallic charcoal grey base loaded with multi-sized gold and silver shimmer. In certain lights it even sparkles with a little red! It's a little bit sheer- this picture is three coats, I usually only do two but this needed a third. It applies so smoothly that a third coat won't give you any trouble. It also dries very fast. It's a fairly unique color, too- after looking through my stash I've noticed that there are no matches!

So, Brand New Skates = AWESOME

  13. I'm so glad I bought the full bottle of this polish. I took one of my nails to a 4th coat, and it was really worth it. It ended up looking like graphite sparkling in the sun.

    What a beautiful color!

  14. Found this post while googling for a swatch to show a friend, and I know it's old... but... you MUST put a matte topcoat over this polish. It looks like gold-flecked pavement when mattified.
