The newest holiday collection for O.P.I. was made with the creators of the movie Burlesque, a musical that just opened the other week starring Cher and Christina Aquilera. Ever since Chicago opened in 2003, I have been loving musicals that involve lovely costumes and fantastic dancing. O.P.I. states, "O.P.I. captures all the glitz & glamour of the Sony Pictures musical Burlesque starting Cher and Christina Aquilera in the Holiday 2010 Burlesque Collection - an inspired range of 12 nail lacquers that will command an audience all season long!" This collection is divided into two groups, one group that a has a shimmer finish and one that has a full-on glitter finish.First the glitters...
- Bring On The Bling - bright yellow gold glitter
- Glow Up Already! - deep gold glitter with a greenish cast
- Extra-Va-Ganza! - pink gold glitter
- Simmer & Shimmer - bright aqua glitter
- Show It & Glow It - medium lavender glitter
- Sparkle-licious - cool pale pink glitter
And the shimmers...
- Rising Star - medium warm copper shimmer
- Take The Stage - burnished orange shimmer
- The Show Must Go On! - bright fushcia shimmer
- Let Me Entertain You - medium pinky purple shimmer
- Ali's Big Break - cranberry shimmer
- Tease-y Does It - deep plum burgundy shimmer
I have favorites in both finishes of this polish. From the glitter collection, I really like Sparkle-licious (the featured photo is of this shade), Show It & Glow It, and Simmer & Shimmer. From the shimmer collection, I am very fond of Ali's Big Break. Ali's Big Break is a fantastic holiday shade and will be perfect this season and beyond.

Simmer & Shimmer is gorgeous- I found that it was really hard to take it off though. I've heard all the OPI glitters are hard to remove, do you do anything in particular to make it easie?
I recommend Lippmann Collection The Stripper nail polish remover. This is the strongest one out there and is better than any others for glitter. It also helps to fully moisten the pad/cotton ball with the remover and hold it right on the nail for a bit before beginning to rub.
