OPI DS Extravagance & MaxFactor Fantasy Fire

I thought I would be posting pics of my June/July Haul today but the shipping company stuffed up and put my old address on the package and now I can't pick it up until 5pm! I am really bored as I planned on spending the day playing with my new pretties so instead I decided to swatch Maxfactor Fantasy Fire that has been sitting in my untrieds pile for months, the first set of pics is two coats of OPI DS Extravagance on its own, the second set is after I added two coats of Fantasy Fire it has added a great red/gold flash effect I like this combo but next time I use Fantasy Fire I think i'll swatch it over another a blue or purple so you can see its purple base color better.

Pink Wednesday - OPI DS Signature

I mainly do Pink Wednesday posts for fun as I am not a huge fan of pink and don't have a lot of pink polishes in my collection so todays post is extra special as I really love this polish I would have to say it is the best pink polish that I have ever tried.

OPI DS Signature is a gorgeous rose pink with an amazing rainbow holographic shimmer it is so pretty it makes me want to wear pink more often.

OPI DS Original

Wow OPI DS Original is an absolutely stunning color it looks so gorgeous in these pics!

I got OPI DS Original in a swap last week and now I am in love it is a gorgeous Lilac with an amazing rainbow holo effect it is really a must have, I can't wait to get more of the hard to find colors from the 2008 OPI Designer Series Collection if i can find them for less than $50 on ebay.com fingers crossed sometimes you can get lucky.

OPI DS Extravagance Leopard Print Mani (Konad m57)

I stamped OPI Designer De Better over OPI DS Extravagance in this cute leopard print mani, Designer De Better looks very sheer when stamped but makes for quite a nice understated look if you are not allowed to wear crazy bright nails to work. OPI DS Extravagance is a gorgeous purple holographic and I will have to swatch it separately another day so you can admire it's beauty in full!

DS Coronation - OPI Designer Series (Holographic)

I love silver holographic nail polish so DS Coronation is a perfect match for me, it is very sheer even with three coats the colour looks quite dull in indoor light but sparkles magnificently when out in the sun!

DS Classic - OPI Designer Series (Holographic)

I was a bit disappointed by OPI DS Classic and contemplated not even posting these swatches, the colour looks gorgeous in the bottle and has a fantastic rainbow holographic effect but it looks terrible on my nails on my nails as it is way too close to my skin colour.

I'm not a big fan or tan/brown nail polishes in general and unfortunately even this holographic effect wont even make this colour work for me, it would maybe ok for making frankenpolish or layering, I layered it over Nicole by OPI Disco Dolls last month and it didn't look too bad maybe it needs the gold bling to tone down the tan colour.

Blue & Silver Holographic Mani (Konad m63)

My new konad stamp finally arrived last friday afternoon so I was able to do some stamping on the weekend, I really loved this cute mani with one of my favourite colours ever OPI DS Magic and Color Club Worth The Risque (holographic) using the Konad m63 stamping plate.

DS Magic - OPI Designer Series

DS Magic is fantastic colour it is a gorgeous sapphire blue with an amazing sparkle, my photos will just not do this colour justice the sparkle is phenomenal!
I will adding this colour to my list of favourite blue nail polishes of all time if you love blue YOU NEED THIS NAIL POLISH!
