OPI Holiday 2015 Starlight Collection

As you may know already, OPI came out with a new collection for this holiday season : Starlight! Inspired by the stars, the Starlight collection features 18 limited edition shades.

The staying power, thickness and opacity can vary for each shade but most OPI nail lacquers are opaque in 2 coats. Speaking of staying power, I wish I could test all the shades but unfortunately I could only wear 5 of these nail lacquers so far. I simply couldn't wait any longer to post this review, most of these shades are still available for sale but I highly doubt that they will be around for much longer!

Left to right : Guys & Galaxies, I'm in the Moon for Love, Is this Star Taken?

Guys & Galaxies is a deep burgundy with a creamy finish. I love this color, perfect for fall! The staying power is excellent as well, it began to chip after 6 days. (Scroll down to see this color on my nails!)

I'm in the Moon for Love is a plum with a slightly frosty finish. Another beautiful color, I like it because it's lighter than your typical purple or plum nail polish, which sometimes can look more black than purple.

Is this Star Taken? is a silver with holographic string glitters. The finish is a bit rough, but nothing I can't fix with some clear top coat. This photo doesn't do it any justice, it's such a pretty shade!

Left to right : Guys & Galaxies + Infrared-y to Glow, Infrared-y to Glow, Two Wrongs Don't Make a Meteorite

Infrared-y to Glow is a clear base with pink and gold confettis, and silver glitters.

Two Wrongs Don't Make a Meteorite is a clear base with silver confettis and pink glitters.

Left to right : Ce-less-tial is More, Super Star Status, Cosmo with a Twist

Ce-less-tial is More is a pinky silver with a glittery finish. It has a very gritty texture, if you prefer a smooth finish you may not like this one because even with 2 thick layers of top coat it's still not completely smooth. The staying power is decent, it began to chip after 2 days. (Scroll down to see this color on my nails!)

Super Star Status is a silver with a glittery finish. It has the same gritty texture than Ce-less-tial is More, so you won't like it either if you prefer a smooth finish.

Cosmo with a Twist is a deep indigo with shimmers that shifts from blue to purple. This is my favorite shade, so pretty! I noticed some minimal tip wear on the fourth day after application, but it only began to chip after 6 days. (Scroll down to see this color on my nails!)

Left to right : Give Me Space, Center of the You-niverse, No More Mr. Night Sky

Give Me Space is a navy blue with a shimmery, slightly holographic finish. This is a gorgeous blue but the formula is a bit thick and can be challenging to brush on precisely. The staying power is great, I noticed one small chip on the second day but the other nails looked great until the fourth day. (Scroll down to see this color on my nails!)

Center of the You-niverse is a soft black with small silver glitters. The finish feel a bit rough to the touch, but it doesn't bother me.

No More Mr. Night Sky is a gunmetal silver with a shimmery finish. I wore this nail polish for Christmas, but forgot to take a photo while it was on my nails. This one is a bit sheer compared to most OPI nail lacquers but the staying power is amazing, I wore it a full week and only had minimal tip wear!

Left to right : Love is in My Cards, Let Your Love Shine, Ro-Man-ce on the Moon

Love is in My Cards is a classic red with a creamy finish. This color is very smooth and rich!

Let Your Love Shine is a dark red with a shimmery finish. I love this one, it's my favorite red from this collection.

Ro-Man-ce on the Moon is a cherry red with a slightly frosty finish. This red is a bit sheer so I recommend to apply 3 coats instead of 2, especially if you have long nails.

Left to right : Comet Closer, I Drive a SuperNova, By the Light of the Moon

Comet Closer is a golden silver with a sparkly finish. As you can see, it has some golden undertones compared to a true silver like I Drive a SuperNova. This is my favorite silver of the whole collection, it's more flattering on my golden complexion!

I Drive a SuperNova is a metallic silver. Be careful with this one, it can get streaky easily. This is the only shade that was almost completely opaque with only one coat!

By the Light of the Moon is a frosty silver with different sizes of glitters. I don't like this shade, most of the glitters gets lost in the base and it looks like a mess on my nails.

SWATCHES :

Ce-less-tial is More :

Cosmo with a Twist :

Guys & Galaxies :

Give Me Space :

If I could only keep 2 shades, it would be Cosmo with a Twist and Guys & Galaxies! Both shades are beautiful, the formula is perfect and the staying power is incredible.
