It’s still Alice in Wonderland weekend, so I’m wearing another one of the themed polishes. OPI Absolutely Alice (Alice in Wonderland) is a bright royal blue and gold glitter packed in a clear base:
Picture taken in sunlight. The formula was good; not too runny nor overly thick. It was well opaque in three thick coats (there is also some blue microglitter added, contributing to its density). Surprisingly, it was rather smooth with just one coat of Poshe (not completely smooth, but pretty good for this type of glitter formulation). Again, I suggest waiting a couple minutes between coats/topcoat to avoid cuticle drag. I cannot stop staring at this polish; it is so gorgeous! It’s just the right shade of blue, and the gold glitter gives it a unique punch. It even twinkles in low light, and is simply mesmerizing under bright lights. And since we’re having nice weather now, all I want to do is look at it in the sun. 😀 I paired this with Orly Poison Apple on my toes.

Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland opens tomorrow, so I thought it would sport some of the polishes created for it. OPI Mad as a Hatter (Alice in Wonderland) is a multicolored glitter packed in a clear base:
Picture taken in natural light. I’m gonna try to list all the colors of glitter I can spot in this polish: silver, purple, turquoise, fuchsia, aqua, orange, gold…there could be more but I’m being blinded by the sparkle! There’s also some silver microglitter thrown in for added density. The formula was good; it wasn’t too runny or too thick. I got full coverage with three thick coats. I topped it with one coat of Poshe, which didn’t make it smooth, but I was afraid that with more layers of topcoat, the polish would just peel off. I suggest waiting a couple minutes between coats/topcoat to avoid cuticle drag. I love this polish! My nails look jewel encrusted, and the rainbow of colors is so pretty, especially in the light! And I like that it’s opaque enough to be worn on its own. I paired this with FingerPaints Art Dealer Teal-er on my toes.
