OPI Alice in Wonderland Collection

Retail Price: $8.50/ea
Steph's Rating: 3.8 Kisses
Buy it: TransDesign, Professional Salons

When January and February find you buried in a mountain of cupids and hearts, OPI and Disney will take you Underland to a world of wild imagination and color!

This Spring, OPI and Disney celebrates the remake of Alice in Wonderland, directed by Tim Burton, with a limited edition collection of four new nail lacquers. Absolutely Alice and Mad As A Hatter - magical glitters for your fun side, and Off With Her Red and Thanks So Muchiness - classy, powerful reds for your romantic side.

Glitter lovers, you are going flip for these glistening gems... They are fab! We all know fame comes with a price tag, and in this case it's the removal process. Let acetone be your friend. 

Check out the swatches!

OPI Absolutely Alice Nail Polish

OPI Alice in Wonderland Collection

Just looking at Absolutely Alice makes me smile. The blue glitter with flecks of gold sparkles to your little heart desires. She's intoxicating, breathtaking and just has that wow factor.   

OPI Mad as a Hatter Nail Polish

OPI Alice in Wonderland collection

Based on OPI's description I was expecting Mad As A Hatter to be more blackened. Even though the multi-colored glitter is in a clear base, the overall color leans towards silver.

OPI Off with her red nail polish

OPI Alice in Wonderland Collection

Off With Her Red - is a reddish orange creme. I'm not a big fan or reds, but the orange undertones gave this one a kick. It falls along the lines of a harvest red. 

OPI Thank you so Muchiness nail polish

OPI Alice in Wonderland Collection

Thank You So Muchiness - is a red shimmer with subtle, pink glitter flakes. In my second swatch, you can slightly see the chunky flakies.

All in All, Great Collection! Absolutely Alice and Mad As A Hatter are the star attractions. The application and formula was decent with 2-3 coats for good coverage. If you're interested in any colors, make sure you grab them quickly - the glitters are more than likely to sell out.

Did you pick up anything from OPI's Alice in Wonderland Collection? Are you planning to check out the movie in March?

Love Absolutely Alice! Not a glitter lover though due to the difficulty of removing it from the nail. I have a question though, how do you keep your cuticles so neat, mine always overgrow so quickly!

Hi Koukla512,
Absolutely Alice is so gorg! I know what you mean, the removal process is such a pain. I keep my nails extra moisturized, I'm kind of a lotion freak. Solar Oil and Solar Balm have been my savior through this cold, cold winter.

i've been waiting to get paid so i can go pick up this collection. i'm not much of a glitter polish lover either but the blue is absolutely beautiful. it seems like i've been buying every alice in wonderland collection lately. i just recently bought urban decay's alice in wonderland eyeshadow palette. i will most definitely be going to see this movie. johnny depp + tim burton = love.

Hi Toni,
Oh, it's so pretty!! You won't regret it! Urban Decay's Alice in Wonderland looked so tempting!! Hello, Johnny Depp...I'm so there!

I'm generally not a huge fan of glitters, but I am really liking the 2 that came out with this, especially Mad As a Hatter!

I love your seeing your swatches because your nails are so cute! I've bought the two glitters from this collection and can't wait for them to arrive. And yes, I'll definitely be seeing the movie...just hope that it lives up to the hype.

I have dressmaker, but I will definitely be running out and grabbing Teddy Bare! Great post!

I tried Deluxe Chocolate last week and loved it! Wicked will be my next mani. And I've been thinking about ordering the new Fall rose shades, but they don't seem very fall to me.... so I haven't decided yet.

Those are great dupes! I've always had good results from Milani, so I think I'll be looking for Dressmaker. I don't own any Chanel, and don't expect to either.

Wow, I will agree with the others, Avon is bumping it up a notch... Thanks for the swatches Steph, they both look great on you!

I've never tried Milani, but I'm adoring Dressmaker. I think I need go to find a Milani retailer! :D Thanks!!

STEPH, can I tell you how much I missed your blogging!!!! For real, I am so HAPPY you're blogging again you totally made my day with this post!! and OMG everyone make sure you check out the Photo Gallery, I can't believe i never knew about it!!

Regina said, on Sep 1st, 2010 4:22 am regarding Splurge vs Steal: Chanel and Milani
Great post! It's very helpful. I already have the Jordana (which is the same as the Milani Dressmaker) so I don't need the Chanel which is impossible to get a hand on. Thank you so much for this comparison!
