NOTD - OPI "Baby it's coal outside"

Recently I've been quite taken with OPI. The new Designer Series shades are stunners and there are some really nice, innovative shades in the recent collections. I must have learned to use the Prowide brush as well, as I don't find it so much of a hassle any more. That's not to say that I like the Prowide brush but..

Onto my NOTD. I bought this a couple of weeks ago but I got Emerald Sparkle at the same time so I never put it on. I should have. This is lovely. It applies amazingly well, dries quickly and is ready to rock n' roll in just two coats (some of my OPI are sheer city - you have to apply and apply to get a good colour). I used a coat of Seche Vite on top to enhance the sparkle of the polish. It is a lovely colour. "Baby it's coal outside" is a charcoal with a supersparkly silver glitter/shimmer to it. I am not sure what to compare it to. None of my photos came out well, because it's too dark to take them. I will take a photo tomorrow, as I have just the outfit to go with it as well - my purple and grey tartan dress :)

It's finally here!! :)

It is mine. I have it in my hand! "Emerald Sparkle", you are the most beautiful nail polish in the world! :) I got my China Glaze "Sleigh Ride" pack today in the post, like I had hoped. I also got a gem from the new holiday collection from OPI, Holiday in Toyland called "Baby it's coal outside" - it is a charcoal colour with profusion of silver microglitter. Below is a quick picture, mostly for my own excited pleasure! It's OPI "Baby it's coal outside" on the top, then from left to right China Glaze "Tinsel", "Ruby Pumps" and my sweet, sweet baby - "Emerald Sparkle"... :)
