OPI Burlesque - Part 2 - Glitters! 4 Application Styles and Color Pairings
Happy Thanksgiving everyone in the US! On a personal note, this is the first year in many where we aren't hosting T-Day. I am missing the smells, the prep and the food. One tradition that we will probably be keeping this year though is the Thanksgiving Day movie. No decisions yet on what we are going to see, but I thought I would take today to go over the glitters from OPI's Holiday Collection Burlesque, polishes inspired by the movie starring Cher and Christina Aguilera.
I reviewed a few polishes from this collection earlier, but here are all the glitters from the collection together. The glitters weren't created to correspond with other colors in the collection, so I thought I would "style" them with other shades in my collection. I also decided to show the glitters in 4 applications:
All Polishes Are Applied As Follows:
Index: 2 coats base + 2 coats glitter
Middle: 3 coats glitter
Ring: 2 coats base + 1 coat glitter
Pinkie: 1 coat glitter

This is one of my favorite combos!

I love this combination. I would wear this pairing in the application style that's shown on the ring finger. I love how it makes Fiercely Fiona so much more festive.
Another Shrek combination!

Extra-va-vaganza! with The Show Must Go On!
This is the only one that I paired with another Burlesque polish. These two seemed to compliment each other without overpowering one another.

Strawberry Shortcake went to Vegas.
Overall, this collection is just plain fun. As shown, they are great for spicing up other colors, or for a really blingbling look you can wear them alone. The glitter density allows for 3 coats for a completely covered nail. I'm not sure if Burlesque will make the cut to be our T-Day movie this year, but Burlesque polishes I will definitely be wearing this season.
What are you doing for Thanksgiving? Do you and your family have any traditions? Anyone going to see a movie?? or Burlesque?
