OPI "Can't Let Go" Swatch

Hey everyone!

Hope you're all having a wonderful Bank Holiday Monday and enjoy the time off if you get it!

Today I'm taking it back to basics and showing you a quick swatch of a polish I bought some time in the past few months (I've kinda lost track...oops!). Also just a quick reminder that you can click any of the pics to view a larger version of the image if you wanna see those close-up glitter granules!





So these two pics above are the only two that came out okay using only-daylight. You have Manchester's beautiful weather to thank for that!
As you can see though, "Can't Let Go" by OPI is one of their textured glitter (Liquid Sand) polishes, and this one is a beautiful dark lilac shade. I guess you could argue that it's leaning towards the violet end of the purples! It's from their Mariah Carey collection way back in Spring 2013 but definitely not outdated :)


With the flash on, you can see more of what I see on my nails right now, and that is texture and glitter! There's also a slight blue tinge to the polish which comes through every now and again, though is honestly more visible in the bottle. 


There are some larger hexagonal pieces of glitter in the polish alongside the typical micro 'sand' glitter pieces and together they truly make a beautiful nail look. The colour is also perfect for Spring!



However, I am generally a huuuuge fan of OPI's liquid sand polishes and for me you just can't go wrong with them. They just always seem to last wonderfully on my nails and I love the effect and subtle, yet in-your-face, sparkles you get from them. If only it was sunny! 
But, if you aren't a fan of textured looks or glitter, this polish won't be for you.


In conclusion then... This is a polish that I just Can't Let Go of ;) 

What are your thoughts on OPI's liquid sands?

Fridail: OPI Beach Sandies!

Happy Wednesday  Friday everybody! Where did the time go!? Anyway, we'll dive straight in with the post! I apologise in advance for the iPhone-quality of images, I'm still looking for some batteries that my camera won't complain about. Today I'm covering OPI's Beach Sandies from the Brazil collection, which is a little quartet of mini liquid sand polishes. Can I just say here, if anyone high up in the chain of OPI reads this (which is unlikely, but if you do then HI!), please please pleeeeease make these in full-sized bottles? Please! So... This is the box, and the four that you get (I swatched super quickly over each, so do excuse that)

Hello! Today's prompt for Life in Lacquer's July Nail Art Challenge is Floral! My initial reaction to this was "urgh. Great, I hate flowers." but then I found some really pretty designs around the internet and my spirits were lifted a little! (I really am crazy-impressed by a lot of these mind, they're so detailed and delicate and pretty)
