OPI ~ OZ The Great and Powerful Collection

www.opi.net.au

This is OPI's limited edition release to celebrate the Disney Movie OZ The Great and Powerful.  Now while I do love all the shades in this collection, I wonder why there were no darker colours?  The closest was a rich Taupe Liquid Sand representing OZ (James Franco).  Lots of light soft shades but not an Emerald to be seen, I feel there needed to be some darkness and a bit of bite.  I would have liked to have seen a Black/Emerald Liquid Sand to represent Evanora (Rachel Weisz)  and a Deep Plum/Mulberry for Theodora (Mila Kunis).

In the following photos I apologise for some fuzziness my camera doesn't like glitter and no matter what I did I couldn't pick up the colour in the nudes until I put a layer of glitter on top as you will see in the last photos.

Don't Burst My Bubble ~ Palest of pale, pink it's almost white.

Three coats

Glints of Glinda ~ Creamy beige

Three coats

I Theodora You ~ Sheer Pink

Three coats

Don't Burst My Bubble- Glints of Glinda- I Theodora You

What Wizardry is This? ~ Textured Matte Taupe, this would have to be my favourite, has an old gold look about it.

Two coats

When Monkeys Fly ~ Large gold confetti which tends to curl at the edges, smaller holographic confetti, this one needs topcoat to seal the glitter.

One coat

Two coats

Which is Witch? ~ Silver glitter & bars with holographic sparkle, this is really pretty but nothing that hasn't been done before.

One Coat

Lights of Emerald City ~ Square white confetti on a base of gold/pink/purple/blue glitter.  Where is the Green? After all this is Emerald City were talking about.   This one better represents the Horse of a different colour!

One Coat

Glitter shades over nude bases.

2.  I Theodora You & Lights of Emerald City
3.  Don't Burst My Bubble & Which is Witch?

The first two glitters really need to be positioned while wet or they clump together and it doesn't look so good.

And.... my favourite combination What Wizardry is this? & When Monkeys Fly.

Two coats Wizard & One coat Monkeys

Ok to sum it all up, great polishes love them all, but... for me they are too repetitive.   There should have been more variety of colour,  after all OZ is a very colourful place.  Three nude shades is two too many,  the glitters all have very similiar silver holographic bases with different coloured larger confetti thrown in and there should have been at least one polish with EMERALD!  Not a bit of green to be seen.
