Hey hey hey, look what I've got for you guys today! These six polishes are from the OPI Colour Paints mini set, but if you haven't heard about this collection yet I don't blame you because they were not released in New Zealand! These came out in the U.S a couple of months ago, but I am yet to seem them in stores here, and I don't even know if they will be, so hit up ebay or TradeMe if you're in this part of the world.
The polishes in this collection are a little different to regular OPI, but you may have guessed that already by the white caps! These polishes have a thin and blendable formula, meaning you can layer them over one another to produce new colours. This means there are ENDLESS possibilities for nail art with these polishes, and makes ombre or gradient designs a breeze. I've included my first nail art experiment with these after the swatches, so make sure you check it out.
The mini set I purchased is not the complete collection, there are actually 9 colours in total and these all come in full-sized bottles. The three that are not included in the mini set are Indigo Motif (dark blue), Landscape Artist (green), and Magenta Muse (Red). These polishes are designed to be worn over the silver base coat included in the collection, transforming them all into bright, metallic polishes. The formulas of these polishes are too thin to be worn on their own, but a white base coat would almost turn these into neons.
Scroll down to see individual swatches and my thoughts on each polish, as well as some nail art. All polishes are shown without top coat.
