OPI - Gwen Stefani Holiday 2014 Collection

Hey guys! Happy new year! Sorry it's been so long. I went to Sydney after Christmas and then pretty much went to Japan a week later - as well as being busy with clients and working! I'm now back from Japan and had such a great time there. I went skiing for 1 week and spent 4 days in Tokyo. I loved it so much - everything is so clean and organised well and they have so much amazing stuff! Surprisingly enough, there are hardly any Westerners travelling around which is kind of nice, it makes it very authentic and you feel as though you really are in a different part of the world!

Today I will be showing you the OPI - Gwen Stefani Holiday 2014 collection. I'm a bit slow to the game with this collection but thought i'd share it anyway! All swatches are 2 coats each (except the glitters being 1 coat), without a topcoat. They all applied effortlessly and perfectly as always with OPI.

Christmas Gone Plaid - A dark emerald green creme. I can't wait to wear this in winter!


Snow Globetrotter over Cinnamon Sweet - A medium to dark red creme. Snow Globetrotter is a gorgeous sheer glitter topper with white and iridescent glitters. It is super gorgeous.

I Carol About You - A beautiful plum creme with shimmers through it that give your nails that "lit within" look.

Comet In The Sky (over OPI - Copecobana) - This glitter is a sheer base with small black iridescent glitters, medium black glitters and copper, silver, light blue and dark blue hex glitters. It is super interesting and a different mix to most glitters out there. I love its uniqueness.

OPI - Gwen Stefani Collection

Hey everyone! Today I will be showing you the collection of polishes from the latest OPI x Gwen Stefani collection (on counters now). This collection consists of 7 shades; 2 glossy cremes, 2 satin-finish colours, 1 glitter, 1 chrome and 1 super limited hot red that comes in a box with swarovski studs and crystals. The stand out for me is definitely the chrome colour (Push & Shove) which even comes with its own base coat; Lay Down The Base for optimal results. 

Each photo shows 2 coats applied (excluded Push & Shove, which is 1 coat) and shows the first picture in direct light and the second photo indoors/shade.

4 In The Morning (Satin) - One of my favourite shades from the collection, is a satin black with silve micro shimmer through it. This dries to the nail slightly lighter and is gorgeous!



Hey Baby - A hot pink bubblegum creme. Very girly




In True Stefani Fashion - A super dense silver and holographic packed glitter topper. Micro glitters and hex glitters galore!


I Sing In Colour - My least favourite from the collection. A dark, deep eggplant shade. This shade is just not for me. Applies perfectly though!


Love.Angel..Music.Baby - This stunner is my favourite from the whole collection and is a gold fine glitter that dries to a stunning satin finish. It is super elegant and girly. I adore!


Over & Over A-Gwen with Swarovski Gold Studs -  A super bright fire engine red. A classic colour. The studs are gorgeous and very sturdy.



Push & Shove - The most anticipated and exciting colour by OPI to date (i'd say, anyway!), this super shiny, eye-searing silver chrome polish. It is actually much brighter in person than Layla's version. It's a shame on the wear time though (about 4 hours before chipping commenced)! 


I have really enjoyed this collection. 4 out of 7 colours are new, fresh and exciting and I love seeing what nail polish brands can do! One day soon, I hope to see a gold chrome colour - that lasts longer than 24 hours as well! Let me know your favourites! Thanks for reading.
