"Brand New Skates"

Santa came early this year and brought me "Brand New Skates", a new color from OPI! This is another polish color from their "Holiday in Toyland" collection. I bought mine at BeautyOne (love that place, with their frequent shopper program I recently got all kinds of "free" stuff for the holidays!).

This is an unusual color (which is one of the reasons that I do adore OPI!). I have a few other polishes that qualify as "silver" or some kind of glitter-y silver color. This one is a deep silver, like gunmetal grey, with gorgeous tiny flecks of blue and even a light gold.

I love how easy the application is, it goes on smooth and shiny. This is not a heavily glittered nail polish that feels gritty or rough. I thought that the first application was nice, sheer but not too much so, and I could have very easily stopped there and finished with a top coat. The next application took the color to an opaque state, and I loved this layer as well! I wear a lot of silver and turquoise jewelry, and this color looks great with those pieces.

I am already finding myself addicted to the OPI Holiday in Toyland Collection, and next up may be either "Little Red Wagon" or "Play 'til Midnight"!
