OPI have recently released a six piece polish collection inspired by the books and movie 50 Shades Of Grey. Personally I have not read the books or seen the movie so really have no clue about what they are about but I do like fresh new polish collections. I was lucky enough to receive half of this collection to swatch and review so of course I needed to buy the remaining polishes from this collection. Grey isn't a colour that I typically go for in a polish but to my surprise I fell in love with this collection.
Cement The Deal is described as a stony, cool gray. The formula is really easy to work with and only requires two coat for full coverage.
Dark Side Of The Mood is described as a brooding, stormy charcoal. I found that this one applied a little patchy on the first coat but goes on perfectly on the second coat. It's a really nice colour too. I can see me using it a lot during the colder months.
Embrace The Gray is described as a chic, moody gray creme. Now this polish would have to be one of my favorites from this collection. The formula appears to be a little bit thin on the first coat, but is opaque on the second coat. The colour is beautiful too. I really wasn't expecting to like this one as much as I do.
My Silk Tie is described as a silky, gleaming silver. Personally I am not a huge fan of this one. It's applies patchy if you go over the same spot more than once and has very visible brush strokes. I used two coats for my swatch.
Romantically Involved is described as a luscious red creme. Now this one is an interesting one to me. I thought it looked like a very typically red creme. Surprisinglyfghj though it has a brownish red look to it. I don't think I am a fan of it on me, but appreciate that its unique in my collection of reds. The formula is fantastic and really easy to work with. I used two coats for my swatch.
Shine For Me is a shimmering silver with subtle blue sparkles. This is one of my other favorites form this collection. Formula is easy enough to work with. I used one coat which I semi dabbed on over My Silk Tie. I think it would need three coats to be opaque on its own.
I'm actually pleasantly surprised by this whole collection. Not only am I surprised at how much I actually like grey polishes but I am really surprised that I don't really have any dupes in my collection. The only one that I do have something very similar to is My Silk Tie. If you are interested in seeing any swatch comparisons of this collection, let me know and I will do a post on them.
OPI 50 Shades Of Grey collection is out now and is available from Myer and David Jones.
