Holographic Nailpolish / OPI Designer series

[user79]

What do you all think of holographic polish? I've never seen them sold here in Switzerland, I might have to order some online...

OPI is releasing the new fall 2008 designer series of holo lacquer...

Some swatches:
Scrangie: Swatches: New OPI Designer Series shades!

OPI - Designer Series

Extravagance looks sooo pretty!


Although I have seen some swatches of the China Glaze holos that they have and I think the effect is even stronger? What was that collection called - "OMG" or something?

What do you guys think of the new opi collection, and holo lacquers in general? Any favs?

Chanel came out with a really pretty silver one that looked like 3D Silver glitter a while back but it was crazy expensive. I want them all. They are so pretty and I am a sucker for anything sparkly. Thanks for posting this.

 

[TDoll]

Oh wow!! I LOOOVE these! Can't wait to get my hands on one or two!!

 

[SparklingWaves]

I like that silver looking one.

I have OMG, Sexagon, and OPI Paris Couture for Sure. You can still get the 2 first ones at H2T. I'm a sucker for cool np so I'll definetly be ordering the new Designer Series!!!

Btw, I forgot to add: IMO, the China Glaze holos are much more holographic than the OPI DS Series. So if you're looking for a strong effect, I suggest the OMG collection or the Kaleidoscope one

Yeah that's what I've noticed too from swatch pictures. I really want to get some of the CG ones...although I'm worried that they look a bit "trashy" for the office? lol! Oh well...

The holo on the CG ones looks unreal, although I like the OPI formulation and the brush wand more...

Here's swatches of the China Glaze Kaleidoscrope collection, as a comparison:
Scrangie: Reader Request: China Glaze Kaliedoscope, Part 1

You're right, they do look a lot more holographic than the OPI ones...

I have three holo np's OPI My Private Jet and then two Make Up Store ones. Out of those OPI is the best quality and formula.

oh, these are so pretty. I think I will pick up Extravagance and Opulence. I love nail polish and especially OPI

 

[BeautyPsycho]

New DS n/p is not as holo as old ones... they have more of a "scattered" sort of holo... I still like them, they are really pretty

"My private jet", "Opening night gold" (I'm sure there is more) are holo, but regular np, with regular price tag

China Glaze OMG is much more holographic than OPI DS polishes, if holo is what you are looking for. But the DS polishes are gorgeous in their own right! And they go on so super smooth, like butter. They are very nice, you won't be disappointed with them.

I wear the ChG holos to work (I'm an engineer) and I do get some stares

I'm not going to stop though. They look absolutely fab (and they're cheaper than the OPI DS).

IDK is my favorite. The OMG holos are smoother than the kaleidoscope series which have more chunky glitter. I prefer the OMGs.

 

[TamiChoi]

ooo i like!

 

[Brie]

ooh! I want extravagance and reflection !!

 

[user79]

I ordered Sexagon from the ChG, if I like it I will try the OMG collection next. I saw swatches of Sexagon and OMG side by side and I thought Sexagon looked shinier. Oh well, we'll see!

^^^ I loooooove silver holos. I'm also a nail polish freak! CG Sexagon is one of my fave holos and I have A LOT!

 

[Willa]

I've bought Sexagon, I LOVE it, it's soooo beautifull!

I also got OMG that I love, FYI is very cute too, but I'm a little bit decieved by He's going circles...

 

[CantAffordMAC]

I want Sexagon SO BAD. This thread is dangerous! I dont even paint my fingernails because it chips so much, but I would paint them everyday with this polish!!

I don't have any of the DS polishes yet, but I must get Extravagance. As far as holos, I have OPI My Private Jet which I love. I just started swapping for some of the OMG collection. So far, I have DV8 and 2NITE, both of which I love. I think if I am able to place an order soon, I will get a few more of those and a few of the China Glaze Kaleidoscopes, as they are being discontinued.

Edit: Before now, I'd only watched DV8, but I did a full mani with it today and I love, love, love it! OMG seriously, it is the most beautiful teal with holographic shimmer. I am definately going to try and get the rest of the OMG collection. They are so unique IMO.

does anyone know when this collection will be available? I haven't seen it on either 8ty8 or head2toe websites
