OPI - Do You Have This Color In Stock-holm? (Nordic Collection, autumn 2014) and OPI - Comet in the Sky (Gwen Stefani Collection, Christmas 2014)

I had some serious doubts about posting Do You Have This Color in Stock-holm? My camera just does not like blues and purples, no matter what I do with the settings, all blues and purples look alike and completely washed out!?
But that being what it is and I hope it will still show, in a way, the lovely combination between DYHTCIS and Comet in the Sky.

First up is DYHTCIS au naturel.
Naturally it reminded me of OPI Eurso Euro and I had the same problem with it as well. The colour looks sort of really intense and saturated when you see swatches on the internet, but then in real life it is way darker and less intense. It's weird, or maybe it's just me.....

Then I received OPI Comet in the Sky in the mail....and I just could not resist....I had the slab it on immediately. Comet is such a lovely topper; it has ultra large black hexes and smaller ones in three sizes AND there are these large transparent iridescent hexes (love those) with friends in two smaller sizes all in a clear base.

Then I tried to persuade my camera to show the familiarity between Eurso Euro and DYHTCIS.....
They are sisters alright,  DYHTCIS is the purple sister and Eurso Euro the blue one.
I also took out Orly Saturated, Sation Miss Emo Shun All and L'Oreal nr 829 but they all had more red in them then DYHTCIS. Orly the least red (and this one was most saturated and intense) and the L'Oreal had the most (and was the least saturated and intense, it needed 4 coats to reach this intensity)

OPI - Make Him Mine (Mariah Carey Christmas Collection 2013) Liquid Sand

It's time for a Liquid Sand again, I love these texture polishes! They are very easy to apply, pretty easy to remove, they dry fast and look and feel gorgeous!
I choose Make Him Mine from the Christmas Collection: it is a rosy silver/beige very neutral yet very festive. After wearing this one for a couple of days my conclusion was that this would be a great polish to wear in between Christmas and New Year.

The colour reminded me of an other Mariah polish from the previous collection: A Butterfly Moment. I put them next to each other....well it is the same tone perhaps ABM is a tiny bit lighter in the base colour then MHM but the glitter in MHM is very, very close to ABM!

Love this colour, it is only too bad that there are so many similar and bland colours in this Mariah Carey Collection!
