OPI New York City Ballet

I am so disappointed with this collection! When I saw it online I thought it looked lovely and girly and the shades were really subtle and ballet-esque, but when I actually painted my nails with them I wasn't blown away.

The three coloured shades are barely there when you apply them to the nail. No matter how many layers you use, you might as well be using a clear polish because I certainly didn't notice much difference.

I was expecting the grey and lilac shades to be just that, but again, there's barely any colour there! The silver sparkle polish is really pretty, but nothing special really. I'm sure I already have something similar in my nail polish collection.

I usually love OPI's mini collections but I thought this was a total waste of money!

  1. It sucks when they disappoint you! They look so pretty in the pictures and even in the bottles. Have you tried painting them with a white underneath? Might pop out a bit more. xxx

  3. The colours looks so lovely, it's sad that they aren't looking so good on the nails. I also really like they mini collections, as I know that the nail polish won't dry up or go funny. Wish that this collection was slightly better. x

  5. They look like such pretty colours in the bottles, that's a shame that they didn't really show up on application.

  6. They do look really pretty in the bottles, but I have heard other people say the same things about how disappointing they are, particularly how sheer they are and how many coats they require xx
