OPI Ink & Suprise OPI find!

Today I went to my usual nail store to get some polishes. What in particular? Well I knew there was some ChG OMG left and when I asked my friend who went there the other day to get herself one, she told me there was 2 left, so those 2 are mine now teeheeee :D

Anyways, I was looking around the OPI stand and I couldn't afford to buy any more at this point in time because I needed to buy other stuff, so my kind, kind brother said he would pay for the 2 OPI bottles I wanted :) (OPI costs $12 a bottle at this store, $20 RRP!)

I really wanted to try these out, but there was no way that I was removing my marble mani - it took a god awful long time to do, so I'm gonna keep it on for another 2 days or so :D I used fake nails instead - hope they look ok in the pics!

I found OPI OPI Ink which I liked a lot so I grabbed that.

This is what it looks like facing the window (it was getting dark, so there was still a bit of natural light)

OPI Ink is a dark black/purple jelly base with purple shimmer particles. I am unsure whether there are other colours since in some lights, it shines blue (like the last pic) and even a bit of yellow/gold (as you might be able to see a bit of in one of the pics).

The other colour I got, I was so surprised to find it on the rack, I've wanted it since I first saw it, but it was crazy expensive online and I lost a bid for bulk OPI on ebay which had this colour and one of the other colours I wanted as well. This mystery polish is Absolutely Alice! When I picked it up, I decided to get it straight away, they were selling for 25+ (not including postage) on eBay and I wasn't willing to fork that amount for it. I really want Mad As A Hatter as well, but haven't had luck finding that for a good price :(

Facing natural light. I've photoshopped the colour a little to get it more accurate to the real colour.

Another pic, cause we love pics! When I saw swatches for this online, I seriously thought it was just blue glitter, I didn't realise there was gold in it as well! It's a very dense microglitter polish and builds up nicely after 2 coats as you can see in the pics.

Sorry if any pics were blurry, it seriously is hard to hold the camera absolutely still with a slow shutter speed! I've converted to using the manual setting for taking these pics and they turn out a lot better colour-wise than using standard portrait settings. Just might need a tripod next time for slow shutter speeds!

Do you own these colours? Or want them? Let me know below!


Thanks for reading :)
