opi show it and glow it (burlesque)

burlesque was a super fun holiday collection from opi back in 2010. i already showed  teas-y does it and the show must go on, and now it's time for show it and glow it.

show it and glow it is a proper glitter bomb. the main colour here is fuchsia, and it is packed with pink and silver glitter.

it is quite dense, but it doesn't make lumps. two normal coats are enough for a solid coverage, with some shearer spots here an there, if you're not careful. i do intend to wear it as a topper, but i somehow never get around to it.

opi show must go on (burlesque)

after teas-y does it, i am showing another polish from opi's holiday collection burlesque back in 2010, show must go on.

i am so sad that i had only the mini version of this polish, because it is a stunner (and, unfortunately, finished now). a magenta-burnt orange duochrome, awesome for gloomier days because you can see all the little details in it. i think it is really unique and wish i could find a dupe!

the formula was decent, especially for a mini, but i would forgive it even if it wasn't, that's how pretty it is.

opi teas-y does it (burlesque)

teas-y does it was in opi's burlesque collection for holidays 2010.

it's one of those gorgeous vampy, deep purple shades with some brown undertones (more visible in pictures in the shade). it has a sort of duochrome type of shimmer, predominantly red but turning gold in certain angles.

even though it is old, formula is great with good coverage. definitely a must have, one of those elegant yet edgy polishes.
