Oh Alice...

Like a lot of other bloggers out there I fell head over heels when I saw the range of cosmetics collections being released for the Alice in Wonderland movie. I'm still desperately trying to get my paws on an Urban Decay Alice eyeshadow book, but in the mean time here's a few pictures of the OPI nail polish inspired by the leading lady herself:

OPI: Absolutely Alice

I really am not a massive fan of glitters, mainly due to the sheer amount of effort it takes to get them off again and of course the amount of coats it takes to get them opaque. The picture above is 4 coats and even then there were a few 'bald spots'. However, the best thing about glitter polish is that if it chips (which mine did after 2 days) you can just cover it up with more glitter and no one is any the wiser! ^^

Alice... now with added flash!

Kudos really goes to OPI for this polish, they picked the most perfectly coloured glitter here. I know most pictures online are not colour accurate so if you're wondering about this one just go watch the Disney movie of Alice in Wonderland and check out her dress.

Overall this is a really great polish and I'm sure one day it will become one of those rare 'must have' OPIs that everyone in the blogosphere would trade their right arm for. I'm just not too keen on the painful removal process that comes with all glitter polishes and involves tin foil and my hand becoming glittery for the week after wearing it...

Colour wise, I love the fact that its not just a flat blue glitter but has some tiny gold flecks (much like Alice's hair) added to it to keep it interesting. It's a happy glittery bottle of polishing fun which I'm very glad to own (but probably won't wear again for a very long time!).

Til next time, happy polishing!
