What Wizardry is This?

Crazy new polish by OPI.  This is part of their Wizard of Oz collection (which looks pretty awesome by the way).  What's interesting you ask?  Well this is a textured nail polish, OPI calls it liquid sand and that's EXACTLY what it looks like.  It has a gritty feel which you get used to after awhile.  OPI had done a bunch of these types of polishes recently in their Mariah Carey collection but those were all sparkly nail polishes and so I think the effect was lost (sparkles already look kind of bumpy on their own).

At first sight no one else will really be able to tell that this is textured, so it kind of feels like your little secret.  Which also means that it's work appropriate :-)

What do you think of it?

In need of a German-icure

Another colour from OPI's German collection.  Looking at the bottle I didn't think I'd like this one but I was totally wrong.  It's a great dark brownish-orangeish-redish colour.  It's a nice thick formulation, two coats were all I needed.  In natural light I find it looks more red, but indoors you can catch more of the brown/orange tones in the colour. A great fall/winter colour.

Please ignore the super short nail on my ring finger ... there was an unfortunate accident while I was cutting onions.  eeek.

Indoor light - you can see more of the orange and brown here

Wooden shoe like to know?

This is OPI Wooden shoe like to know.  I bought it in a bit of a nail polish buying frenzy on beyondtherack.com.  It is just gorgeous!  A rich milky brown with subtle gold flecks.  A quick favourite!  This is three coats of WSLTK with two coats of Seche Vite top coat.
