2010 was definitely the year of glitter polish going mainstream. OPI Absolutely Alice really kicked it off and the frenzy just continued all year. I was already in love with glitters long before Alice, but Alice really started off a period of time where I wore full coverage glitters almost every single mani. As much as I love glitters, this did eventually get old. I took a good long break from wearing any glitters. I didn't even buy any of the OPI Burlesque collection!!!
I did, however, decide to put some of the Burlesque glitters on my Christmas list, and my mom was nice enough to put OPI Extra-va-vaganza! in my stocking. I had originally planned some kind of cool grey ombre mani for New Year's Eve, but then I got the flu. I spent most of yesterday in bed sleeping, but I had to do my nails for New Year's Eve!!! So, I tried out Extra-va-vaganza!
I am really glad my mom got this for me. It is totally sucking me back into my glitter kick. This is a mix of coppery-gold, silver, pink, and blue-green glitter pieces. All of the pieces are the same size and shape, just like the glitter in Absolutely Alice and Mad as a Hatter. I'm sure you've seen all of the OPI Burlesque glitters before, but I really am loving it, so I wanted to name it Polish of the Week.
I missed glitter <3!!!
