ALT - OPI Brights 2009

[This is a half finished post from my last site]

OPI's Brights Collection for 2009 was absolutely fitting for the summer. Although summer does not offcially end until September 23, I think part of it has already died when school starts tomorrow.

I really like the blue (No Room For the Blues), pink (Shorts Story), and orange (In My Back Pocket) in this collection.

When I was at Walmart, Sally Hansen's Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear nail polishes reminded me of these colours so much that I thought they'd make good alternatives to the original OPIs.



Power Pink: shimmer mid-pink with flash.
Can be worn up to 6 days with only minor tip wear (no base or topcoat).
Two coats.

Blue Me Away: sky blue creme.
My favorite. I've been into a lot of blues this summer.
Two coats.

Sunkissed: pumpkin orange creme.
Darker than I expected. Three coats for total opacity.

What impresses me most about these Xtreme Wear polishes are the range of colours available and the different finishes. It used to be so hard finding a good creme polish.
