On Her Majesty's Secret Service is a grey/blue sheer base with a ton of microshimmer. The shimmers are blue, gold, and green. This polish does apply very thinly, I needed three coats for full opacity. This polish looks amazing in the bottle, and I was really excited to try it out. However, I was left wanting just a little bit more. I wish the base shade was a bit more vibrant or opaque, on my nails I find it a bit dull.
Also, I'm not sure if I got a bad bottle or what, but this polish smells really bad. Not the normal polish smell, but something different, very chemically. This scent stayed on my nails for a few hours, then faded. I haven't heard of this complaint from anyone else, so it might just be my bad luck with this specific bottle!
I really wanted to like this polish, but it just doesn't wow me. Something was missing from this formula for my taste. Will you be trying out this polish, or passing it up in favour of other colours in the Skyfall Collection? Let me know in the comments below!
oooh I will definitely be trying this polish!huge OPI fan & this looks great for winter x
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it! :)
DeleteLooks pretty much like Zoya FeiFei. Which I already have. Glad I can skip it.
ReplyDeleteYa save your money for some of the other great holiday releases :)
DeleteI am going to get this entire collection, primarily because I lovveeee James Bond :-)
ReplyDeleteOh awesome! This collection is perfect for you!
DeleteThanks for swatching this one :) It reminds me a bit of Brand New Skates from the Holiday In Toyland collection, but looks like this one has got more shimmer. Oh no I hope OPI haven't gone back to the formula they had about 3 years ago (around the Spain collection) - it smelled really strong, and the formula was more watery than usual. Wish they would stop playing around with the formula lol!
ReplyDeleteSo far this is the only polish from the Skyfall Collection to have this formula, but I haven't swatched them all yet. Hopefully it's just this one!
DeleteI love how sparkly this is! I usually go for a more subtle glitter effect (am currently loving I'm all ears from the Minnie Mouse Collection) but this is definitely one to try for a more shimmery varnish - thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm All Ears is a beautiful colour, I love that entire collection! You're right, this polish is a lot more shimmery! :)
DeleteLoving this color!! Might have to add that one to my collection!
