OPI Stay The Night Liquid Sand

     OPI and Mariah Carey teamed up for a pretty fabulous collection that released this month. Four of the polishes are a completely new finish: Liquid Sand. Interesting, huh? When I first saw this finish, I was leery. I thought they were going to be gritty and chunky glitters. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised. I picked up three of the four. Today's swatches are of Stay The Night.

Stay The Night: Three coats over one coat of Orly Bonder.

No Top Coat.

     Stay The Night is a black textured jelly-ish polish packed with red glimmering glitters. I had to use three coats to achieve full opacity, but it built up nicely. Dry time was good. I did the complete manicure in less than 20 minutes.  I was surprised by the texture. It's not rough at all. It's actually on the squishy side. I couldn't stop touching my nails when I was wearing this.

Stay The Night: Over Head Lighting

      The jelly look and feel of the base gives this a great depth; the glitter catches the light at every possible chance. I couldn't help but stare at my nails. My boyfriend actually complimented me on them. He liked the look of the sand.

Stay The Night: Blurred to Show Sparkles

     I wore this for two days and had no tip wear or chips! Pretty phenomenal for me; I have oily nail beds and most polish peels off my within a day of wear. It's usually not a problem since I change it up so often.

    Have you tried the Liquid Sands yet? Are you a fan of texture on your nails? If you're on the fence, give them a try!
