Popular American singer Gwen Stefani, in collaboration with the renowned nail brand OPI, has introduced a new collection of nail polishes and gel polishes for Christmas 2014. The OPI Gwen Stefani Collection Holiday 2014—2015.
OPI nail polishes boast an incredible formula that contains natural silk and amino acids. The collections are updated several times a year, reflecting global fashion trends and the latest manicure product manufacturing technologies.
The bottle shape is specially designed for professional use. This ensures that the pearlescent particles and glitter are evenly distributed, preventing the polish from drying out. The weighted bottom adds stability to the bottle. The precisely calculated length and diameter of the cap make it convenient for any size and shape of fingers. The innovative brush shape, made from natural bristles, and the perfectly balanced brush width to bristle density ratio, guarantee precise and even polish application.

Before applying the main layer of nail polish, it is essential to apply a thin base coat to the nail surface. This helps prevent direct contact between your nails and the pigments and chemicals in the polish. After that, apply 1-2 coats of the nail polish.
Reviews about OPI Nail Lacquer Gwen Stefani Holiday 2014 Collection
Unfortunately, I am dissatisfied with this purchase. The nail polish applies unevenly and you can see brush strokes on the nails. In other words, the coverage is streaky, even applying a double layer did not fix the issue. It looked very cheap on the nails, as if it cost not 300 UAH, but a maximum of 40 UAH. Nevertheless, I appreciate the integrity of the product and its good expiration dates. As always, the makeup is top-notch.
This purchase has been my biggest disappointment. It is not worth the money at all, as even after three applications, it did not apply evenly. It feels like a 5 UAH nail polish. I am disappointed and do not recommend it.
I purchased shade F18. What a disappointment! It doesn't match the picture at all. On the nail, you get a transparent layer with small black crumbs and sporadic silver-black sequin inclusions, and everything is quite watery. I tried applying it on a dark gray base, but the result is nowhere near what is shown in the picture! The sample displayed as a nail is the only place where the polish looks like it does in the bottle.
Disappointed. I bought the HR F13 - ROLLIN IN CASHMERE nail polish. It's a golden color. The lasting power is very weak. I was hoping that this polish would save me time by applying one or two layers and having my manicure last for a couple of days without having to spend a lot of time drying my nails. I applied two layers of the polish because one layer was too pale. The next day, it started to chip at the tips of my nails, and after 3-4 days, it was completely chipped off.
I have a clear top coat from OPI, and it truly deserves all the praise. With it, my manicure lasts for a week, but I have to wait a long time for my nails to dry.
For this golden shade, you definitely need to apply a protective top coat, or else it won't last. In short, my idea of a quick manicure failed :) even though I have other polishes that can last for a couple of days with just one layer.
Disappointed! I bought two different colors (don't remember the numbers) - red and plum. The longevity is excellent! The red one lasted for 8 days, considering the holidays and few working days for my hands))) However, the brush is a huge downside - it's not flexible and the nail polish applies terribly, leaving streaks. I have to apply three coats to even out the tone, which makes the nail polish not economical. But the durability is fine!
I purchased two nail polishes from this collection - a silver one and a red one with gold shimmer. The silver polish is a regular metallic shade, it applies smoothly without streaks and dries quickly. However, the red polish, despite its stunning beauty, disappointed me with its poor lasting power. Although, for its beauty, I am willing to forgive this and would gladly buy a duplicate (if it were available). It's a shame that you don't have any golden top coats from Christmas collections. They are so beautiful, although quite expensive.
I really love this nail polish. It stays on well and the brush is convenient to use.
F03 I Carol About You is a dark purple nail polish with a subtle micro-shimmer and a beautiful glossy finish. It is truly a handsome shade. On my nails, it lasted an impressive 6 days without any damage. All the polishes from this collection are great, except for the gold metallic one (in my humble opinion).
I purchased the silver one. It is a good and long-lasting nail polish. I expected it to be more reflective, but the color on the nails matches exactly the shade of the bottle in the photo. It applies smoothly and stays on for a long time.
