OPI for Sephora Holiday 2011 Collection - Glimmer Wonderland

Everyone who has been reading this blog for the past few months knows that I have been obsessed with nail polish since the middle of the summer, nail polish was one o the few beauty items that I was never all that interested in until I discovered China Glaze from a friend's manicurist.  Ever since that happened, it is rare that I go two weeks without ordering or buying a few new shades of polish.  So far, we have looked at a bunch of holiday polish collections, all of which are focusing on glitter polishes in fun holiday shades.  The new OPI for Sephora collection, named Glimmer Wonderland, promises more of the same polish shades that we have been seeing all season. 

In the spirit of the holiday season, this collection is currently available in both single polishes and sets that are perfect for those on your gift list.  Personally, I am looking at the sets for myself if I find that I love a bunch of the shades in this collection.  "Inspired by all things bright and sparkly, Sephora by OPI's Glimmer Wonderland Collection captures the energy of the holiday season.  These shimmering, color-rich shades are like 'the instant glam you get from a sequin party dress or sparkly accessory you throw on to glam yourself up!' says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI VP and Artistic Director.  Add glimmer to your tips and toes with Be-Claus I Said So, a red glitter, or Naughty is the New Nice, a light blue metallic.  Even better, these festive shades are long-wearing, chip-resistant, and free of dibutyl phthalate (DBP), toluene, and formaldehyde."  The last thing that I could possibly need is more nail polish but I can't wait to check these shades out!

I thought that the sets were going to be the Christmas shades since they are all part of the Glimmer Wonderland collection, not sure why they would be labeled as part of this collection and not contain any holiday themed shades at all...  Anyway, I still love both the six and four piece sets and will be adding both of them to my nail polish wardrobe soon.  The single shades are very traditional holiday with what we have been seeing so far this season, lots and lots of glitter!  The shades that are clear with the color glitter will be skipped over, I already dismissed many of them with the traditional OPI holiday collection and I don't like them any better this time around.  Chest-Nuts About You is my favorite shades of the collection, it is great neutral basic with a bit of gold shimmer in to make it something special.  Stop Stocking Me and Countdown to the Kiss are my other choices from this collections, both are great deep shimmer hues that will work this whole holiday season and the rest of the winter months.
