Happy hump day!
In the midst of all the pastel and glitter NOTD posts I've been doing lately I've also been slowly working my way through wearing my OPI Skyfall collection purchases. Now these babies are too gorgeous for merely swatching - I've had to indulge myself with the pleasure of wearing them and I had the ultimate selfish pleasure of wearing The World Is Not Enough for an entire week!
OPI describes TWINE (Hehe! What a funny acronym! Yes I'm easily amused...) very simply as a "rosy silver" but I find their description far too simple for what I think is a complex beauty of a shade. In certain light this looks rather more of a taupe foil but in the sun this springs forth with a multi-dimensional sparkle waaayy beyond basic rosy silver! I can even see hints of green sparkle in this polish. In terms of formula this is a little on the sheer side so I needed to apply three coats to get an opaque finish. It was perfect in every other way though and easily lasted all week with minimal tip wear being the only sign of a week-old mani. Now without any further rambling here are my little pictures - trust me you need to see this IRL to appreciate the full beauty of this particular polish!
That's it for tonight!

OMG TWINE funny he he ,.. its gorgeous .. n yes the shade is complex .. but oh so beautiful ..loved it Vita .. you are putting gorgeous pics one after the other :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Saumya! If you love foil polish then you really need to check this one out cos it's the BOMB!
DeleteOhhhhhhh damn I am drooling over this one... I am absolutely in love with the James Bond collection but I'm poor and can't afford all of them... YET! But now this one is definitely next on the list!
ReplyDelete:D
Why not buy the mini set? That's where this came from - I love buying the minis because I very rarely get to the bottom of a full sized bottle of polish, especially these days, lol!
DeleteIt's a lovely color for you :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Maria!
DeleteLovely bronze shade. I didn't pick this one up because I felt like I had similar colors, though now I wonder if I really do.
ReplyDeleteIt's a really lovely bronzey taupe and was one of the top picks of the Skyfall collection for me! I'd definitely recommend a second look ;)
DeletePositively gorgeous! Ever since I saw first pics of JB collection this one was my first pick - it really deserves to be worn properly, so beautiful
ReplyDeleteThank you! This one is a stunner for sure. I actually saw it on another friend's toes before I bought it and thought it looked totally AMAZING as a pedi so I knew I had to have it!
Deleteoooh! This looks like that Lise Watier Silvery Taupe I have! I love this shade a lot!
ReplyDeleteYes, I remember THAT stunning polish and I wonder just how close these two are?? Looking at the pictures I love both!
Deleteah, so gorgeous!
ReplyDeletei was gonna pick a red for my mani today but now i am not so sure..(it's not like i have anything similar, though..)
Wow - sounds like you may have to check it out Lena! It's a trans-seasonal colour, and has the potential to be a bit of a modern classic like Chanel's Graphite ;)
Deleteajkdfjajfkfadfljalfk....words can't describe what I'm thinking!!! I am into metallics atm and these look AMAZING! Just got the one by hello darling. to die for I tell you. But these...omg...I sound like someone who has lost her words.
ReplyDeleteI get it totally!!!! I was struggling to describe it myself because it's such a beauty with so many facets to it. Put this on your shopping list girl! ;)
DeleteWow! All the other pics I've seen of this made it look boring, I never would have guessed it was such a stunning, complex shade.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate! Now multiply that gorgeous complex sparkle X 10 in real life! It really is a stunner :))
DeleteI have a strange issue with this shade. It looks stunning here and on a lot of other blogs, but the second I put it on me, I feel so MEH about it. Maybe it's my skin tone? I don't know. Was so happy to get it at first but now I feel torn. :(
ReplyDeleteOh wow, how disappointing for you :-( Maybe save it for sunnier days?? I must admit I'm a lover of taupes and bronzes so I'm a bit biased towards this polish.
