OPI Mariah Carey 2013 Holiday Collection Swatches and Review

by Lisa Heath

Tonight I have the entire 18 piece OPI Mariah Carey 2013 Holiday Collection to show you!  These look so amazing in person, you have no idea!  All of the Liquid Sand shades are unique to my collection!

This is a picture heavy post, but lets get started!

The Liquid Sands first!

My Favorite Ornament

My Favorite Ornament is a densely packed champagne glitter.

I Snow You Love Me

20131013-183105.jpg

I Snow You Love Me is a clear base with large holographic silver circles within.  The base is a little on the thick side, but I was able to get about 3 glitters per dip.  The glitter is heavy and tends to sink, so I gave it a decent shake before applying.  I used 1 coat of I Snow You Love Me over All I Want For Christmas (Is OPI).

All I Want For Christmas (Is OPI)

20131013-183055.jpg

All I Want For Christmas (Is OPI) is a classic red creme.

Cute Little Vixen

20131013-183100.jpg

Cute Little Vixen is a deep red violet with shimmer.

Underneath The Mistletoe

20131013-183004.jpg

Underneath The Mistletoe is a candy apple red with gold micro glitter scattered within.

In My Santa Suit

20131013-183034.jpg

In My Santa Suit is the perfect holiday red with shimmer.

Visions Of Love

20131013-183048.jpg

Visions of Love is a deep burgundy.

Sleigh Ride For Two

20131013-183040.jpg

Sleigh Ride For Two is a rich chocolaty brown with red shimmer.

Warm Me Up

20131013-183024.jpg

Warm Me Up is a deep brown with gold shimmer.

Ski Slope Sweetie

20131013-183121.jpg

Ski Slope Sweetie is a gorgeous pearly white packed with gold micro shimmer.  I used 3 coats for this photo.

Wonderous Star

20131013-183115.jpg

Wonderous Star contains densely packed gold glitter with small black hex glitters.

I ended up REALLY liking this holiday collection!  I used 2 coats for all the photos (except for I Snow You Love Me and Ski Slope Sweetie).  I had no application issues at all and these are great holiday shades!

your swatches are always great but i think opi should step outside the box and do less shades of red and more shades of anything else

If you are using the liquid sand do you need to do a color underneath or are your pics just the liquid sand? They are so pretty!
