Midnight in Moscow

Here I have the lady that initially got me back into nail polish. I got this when OPI first released the Russian collection, though it sat mostly alone in my medicine cabinet for years before the polish psychosis set in.

Midnight in Moscow is a dark, dark vampy red (though when you're removing it, it comes off black) with red sparkle in it. When the light catches it, it's just about the most gorgeous thing you've ever seen. I've had this color for... five years? Six years? And I still get excited when I put it on.

Midtown Magic

I love this. I know it's everyone's standout from the Metro Collection, but I need to add in my love. Midtown Magic is a dark beauty. I've seen it described as a dark burgundy, but it looks like a deep chocolate brown with copper flecks to me. Whatever it is, it's gorgeous and I totally love it.

Meet Me Under the Mistletoe

Meet Me Under the Mistletoe is a gorgeous green sparkle bomb from a previous year of Orly's holiday collection. It has a blue-green base with lots of emerald/kelly green sparkles. This awesome combo results in the entire thing looking like a nice pine tree color. It catches the light beautifully, and I got lots of compliments while I was wearing it.

Sally Hansen DVD

This one is an oldie but a goodie.

Sally Hansen DVD is in my most favorite of color veins: the periwinkle or "blurple." This color is really sheer and is great as a top layer (I tried it over Commander in Chic long before I started polish blogging and the results were delightful).

The pictures below are three coats with some seriously visible nail line. One is natural light and one is blur to really get a feel for the color and sparkle.
