OPI Nordic Collection Fall 2014

Welcome back!

Whoops...I've never posted this! So here it is, for those who can still find them and are wondering. Also, this is for my record, not just for anyone reading.


Going My Way Or Norway
Coats: 2
Formula: Cream
Color Family: Brown
I loved this polish as a base for leopard print. It was the perfect light brown/tan color for that. I used it the first time I ever did leopard print, and it was just perfect as a base for it. I more than likely would not wear this without nail art on top, because I'm not a typical wearer of browns/tans/nudes. The formula on this was great, though!


Do You Have This Color In Stock-Holm?
Coats: 2
Formula: Cream
Color Family: Purple
This purple was gorgeous for fall, and great for Halloween designs. It was that perfect dark purple to be a background.  It had an amazing formula, and I absolutely loved the color. I almost didn't want to cover it up! The formula was so good it even looked good on my right hand, which says a lot, because I don't have a steady hand, so it was clearly self-leveling.


Skating On Thin Ice-Land
Coats: 3
Formula: Cream
Color Family: Purple
The color was absolutely gorgeous, too. They were on a roll with these purples! It was wonderful for fall, too, and I loved it so much. I needed three coats, but it was almost a two-coater.



My Dogsled Is A Hybrid
Coats: 2
Formula: Cream
Color Family: Blue
This minty blue had a great formula, and was almost a one-coater polish. This was a nearly identical dupe for "Poised for Turquoise" from Nicole by OPI in their Fall 2014 collection. It seemed like an interesting choice for fall to me, but the more I wore it, the more I liked it.



How Great Is Your Dane?
Coats: 2
Formula: Cream
Color Family: Brown
This was a dark gray brown color. It is good for nail art on top, but a little plain and boring for me to wear by itself. I honestly didn't write down very much about this polish, because I just did not wear it long, or care for it too much. The formula was fine, but I don't remember it being anything spectacular.



Ice-Bergers & Fries
Coats: 2
Formula: Cream
Color Family: Brown
The formula was good, and it was mostly self-leveling. This was a darker tan than "Going My Way or Norway?" was. It was much more of a brown color, but still lighter than a brown...if that makes sense. It would be a good dark nude for someone with a darker skin tone than me.



Suzi Has A Swede Tooth
Coats: 2
Formula: Cream
Color Family: Pink
Unfortunately, the formula on this polish was not that great. It was a little streaky to me, but it ended up leveling out pretty well. It was annoying to work with, however, and I was frustrated. The color was nothing amazing, it was very typical and any person who owns a lot of polish, particularly pinks, probably already owns something like this.



Can't Afjörd Not To
Coats: 3
Formula: Cream
Color Family: Orange
This orange had a good formula, and was actually a pretty good orange, even though I don't typically like oranges. They just aren't the best on my skin tone, and I'm not the biggest fan of orange anyway. This orange did look pretty good on my skin tone, though, unlike most oranges.



Viking In A Vinter Vonderland
Coats: 2
Formula: Cream
Color Family: Purple
It was so easy to use this polish. I could not have asked for a much better formula. It was amazing, and just so easy! I love purples for fall anyway, and especially this one. It was vampy, but not so dark that it looked black.



Thank Glogg It's Friday
Coats: 2
Formula: Sheen
Color Family: Purple
I wouldn't exactly call this a shimmer or glitter polish, which is why I just called it a sheen. I loved the way this looked with my skin tone, even though I already love colors like this anyway. It was just like the icing on the top of the cake!



OPI With A Nice Finn-ish
Coats: 2
Formula: Metallic
Color Family: Gold
I was almost able to get this to be just a one-coater. It was a little streaky, but nothing awful. It was beautiful, however. It is a very yellowy gold. I did like it better with top coat, though. I thought it got rid of some streakiness.



My Voice Is A Little Norse
Coats: 3
Formula: Glitter
Color Family: Silver
The glitter was very thin on the first coat, and I was not impressed with it. After one coat, though, it began to build pretty quickly. I probably could have done just two coats, but I did a third just to be safe. This one was very similar to "Dazzling With Talent" from the Nicole by OPI Fall 2014 collection.

































 Overall, I really liked this collection! Most of the polishes were typical, great OPI formulas. I also thought that there were quite a few shades that were new and exciting, and I really liked them!

Thanks for reading <3
