OPI The Muppets Holiday 2011 - The Glitters

Here is the second half of The Muppets collection from OPI, which came out for the holiday season of 2011. I reviewed the first half of the collection yesterday in case you missed it.

Rainbow Connection is a multi-colored glitter polish with medium hex glitter and smaller round glitter. It was a very popular type of polish in the last year or so, after the success of Deborah Lippmann's Happy Birthday polish. This is just a great polish and I don't care how many dupes there are, I love it. It's one you want to place on the nail rather than paint on.

Excuse Moi is a unique one however, I can't think of any possible duplicates for this. It has a warm reddish pink jelly base with gallons of silver microglitter and smallish/medium round multicolored glitter pieces. Very cool and fun!

Gone Gonzo! was of course named after me! Ok...just kidding. It was actually named for that crazy adorable weirdo muppet, Gonzo. This has a clear base filled with pretty medium blue glitter and medium silver hex glitter. Pretty sheer.

Gettin' Miss Piggy With It! is the same type of polish as Gone Gonzo, a small glitter with larger hexes this time in a shade of ruby red. The hexes are silver and pinky red. Also rather sheer.

Fresh Frog of Bel Air is in the same realm as the previous two, this time in a medium green with silver hexes. Sh-sh-sheer.

Divine Swine is the last polish in the bunch, it is made up of warm purple glitter with silver hex glitter. Again, on the sheer side.

I enjoyed this collection, but would've preferred them do one glitter like Gone Gonzo! and maybe done more colors of polish in the style of Excuse Moi, which is the standout winner in this group.

I always say better late than never and hope you aren't too cross with me for posting this collection so late. I love OPI and I love the Muppets and I would've kicked myself forever if I never reviewed these as I intended. 2011 and a lot of last year were tough ones for me but I'm doing well now and what better way to take advantage of it than to blog my buns off!

OPI The Muppets Holiday 2011 - The Shimmers

OPI came out with a Muppet themed collection for Holiday 2011 and even though I've had them since then, I didn't get around to posting them. This collection was prompted from the release of the move The Muppets, released November 23, 2011. I personally have adored them since I was a child and I eagerly anticipated this collection since the moment I heard about it. There are twelve colors in this collection, six shimmers and six glitters. Here are the first half, finally!

Designer, de Better! is a metallic foil that is seriously gorgeous. It's a silvery taupe with tons of orangish coppery flecks. So beautiful!

Warm & Fozzie is probably one of my favorite polishes in existence. It's a super complex polish made up of mostly brown metallic flecks mixed in with bronze, pink, and gold that are duochromey. The pink turns green and the bronze goes gold at different angles. Love!

Meep-Meep-Meep is a pinky red with flaky shimmer bits and iridescence. There is a some duochrome making the pink shimmer violet at certain angles. This is one of my faves because it makes me think of my ginger friend Ange, we call her Beaker :)

Animal-istic is a warm tomatoey red with an orange tinge and an iridescent sheen of pink/violet shimmer. Unique and lovely! I adore Animal, a classic Muppet.

Wocka Wocka! is a blue toned red with super fine microshimmer. Not really unique but beautiful just the same. The formula is a dream!

Pepe's Purple Passion is a muddy plum raisin color with multicolored shimmer flakes. The thick base obstructs the pretty shimmer and makes the resulting color seem almost dirty. I heard someone tried emptying some of the color and adding a bit of clear polish and it made the sparkle more prominent and the overall effect much prettier. I'll probably try it when I get a chance.

You can probably still find a lot of these in stores and online I'm sure. OPI retails for $8.50. Did you get any of the polishes from this collection? Stay tuned for the glitter half of the collection, to be posted soon!
