Let's have a nail polish post to start the weekend.
Here is Alcatraz Rocks from the fall/winter 2013 San Francisco collection by OPI. It is a limited edition "liquid sand" polish.
OPI describes this polish as "There's no escaping this arresting textured grey" I think it looks more like a dark blue with grey undertones....
Thank you for reading x
The whole point of the liquid sand effect, is that it dries down to a gritty matt texture, kind of like sand paper sprinkled with glitter!
These Pictures were taken with no top coat (as the polish is meant to be worn) in sunlight. This is where the polish really sparkles...
To show you how it looks in different light, These next pictures were taken with no top coat, inside my house (no sunlight).
Inside, you can see the sparkle is not so bling and the matt texture really shows itself - it's still very pretty though....
If you are not keen on the matt texture, and prefer how the polish looks in direct sunlight, you can simply add a topcoat to transform the polish from the liquid sand texture to a glossy glitter. This is not what OPI intended but it's your polish - wear it how you want!
These next pictures were taken with a top coat, inside my house (no sunlight).
From a distance this polish is a sophisticated dark grey/blue that will look good all year around and compliment most outfits. I think it's a winner!
You can buy Alcatraz Rocks here.
Let me know what you think of the liquid sand polishes - love them, like them or hate them?
