Does anyone else look forward to getting this collection? I think the polishes that I'm the most excited about are Mermaid's Tears, Steady as She Rose, Skull and Glossbones, and of course the most talked about of the collection, OPI Silver Shatter. From the swatches I've seen online, I do like what I'm seeing. I've noticed a lot of people have complained that these colors are not the "vampy" colors that they would expect from a "Pirates of the Caribbean" collection. However, I think these colors work for the collection. I don't think its necessarily about the colors that you would expect to see a pirate wearing but the colors a pirate would see when he or she it out at sea. For example "Mermaid's Tears" would be running into a mermaid or maybe a gem that was named after a mermaid's tears etc. "Skull and glossbones"... well bones are gray... I know I know, it could be a darker gray but its a Spring Collection after all! As for the other colors I believe the pastel pink, "Steady as She Rose", the deeper pink "Sparrow Me the Drama", and "Planks a Lot" the pastel purple to be floral, exotic colors for the spring which could represent flowers seen on deserted islands or again, gems, etc. While "Stranger Tides" which is a light pastel yellow represents the sand of an island.
As for Silver Shatter... I think I am most excited to put it on darker, frosted colors and bright colors, rather than pastels just because I feel like it will give more of an interesting contrast. I think layering it above a dark matte color will give a really unique design... However I don't know how I would put a top coat over the nail without the whole nail becoming glossy or the whole nail becoming matte... So... I think for that I'll have to use either a matte nail polish or put a matte coat over a glossy nail polish.. then add another matte top coat and finally the Silver Shatter.
I probably won't be getting this collection any time soon after it comes into stores... mostly because I'm swamped with schoolwork to go out to my beauty supply store to buy it. Also, because the beauty supply store that I go to while I'm in school costs more than the one I go to back home. And I need to start saving up money and in the meantime there are nail polishes that I have not worn yet :(. But it is one of my top priorities to go buy it during summer when I am home for the next couple of months.
So what colors are you looking forward to the most out of this collection? Are you disappointed with the color selection? Leave me a comment below :)
