OPI INFINITE SHINE BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S COLLECTION 2016 - SWATCHES & REVIEW

I believe in Manicures! 

OPI has just introduced Breakfast at Tiffany's; a holiday collection that captures the elegance and effervescence of Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in the American cinema classic.The new limited-edition Breakfast at Tiffany's collection takes inspiration from Audrey's classic beauty and sense of playfulness.  

Bring glamour and effortless chic to the Holiday season with festive shades. The Breakfast at Tiffany's shades are offered in both regular nail lacquer and Infinite Shine formulas. 


Infinite Shine is OPI's answer to gel nails with no UV / LED light, promising up to 10 days of lasting colour and mirror shine in 3 easy steps.  
Here's how it works - 

STEP 1: PRIME

Apply one thin coat of the OPI Infinite Shine Primer base coat to prepared nails (nails completely free of polish, oils, etc).

STEP 2: LACQUER

Apply two thin coats of your desired Infinite Shine colour shade - apply just like regular nail polish. 

STEP 3: GLOSS

Apply one thin coat of the OPI Infinite Shine Glossy top coat over the colour.

*APPLICATION TIPS: Apply thin coats of polish and ensure each coat is fully dry before applying the next coat. 


I have all 6 Infinite Shine shades from the Breakfast at Tiffany's Collection to review for you today :)



I BELIEVE IN MANICURES

I Believe in Manicures is a beautiful robin's egg blue nail polish shade. It's not quite a Tiffany blue but it's just as pretty. I love it!

The formula is fantastic. The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
It isn't streaky or patchy and it self-levels well. 

It builds up to full opacity in two thin and easy coats.


GIRLS LOVE PEARLS

Girls Love Pearls is a lustrous pearl nail polish shade inspired by the film's memorable elegant five-strand pearl necklace. I love the look of this on my nails! 

The formula is good. The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
Brush strokes are quite evident when this is applied, so I highly recommend using the three-stroke-method of application to limit the appearance / amount of brush streaks.

It builds up to full opacity in two - three thin and easy coats.
My swatch shows two coats but I think it really depends on your preference as to how many coats of polish 
you will need. I actually like the chic look of just one coat.


CAN'T TAME A WILD THING

Can't Tame a Wild Thing is a daring red-orange nail polish shade. It's super bright and in-your-face. Great for summer!

The formula is fantastic. The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
It isn't streaky or patchy and it self-levels well. 

It builds up to full opacity in one - two thin and easy coats.
The formula is kind of jelly-like so the more coats of polish you apply the more vibrant the colour looks.


RING THE BUZZER AGAIN

Ring the Buzzer Again is a deep red nail polish shade.
Now this is my kind of red! I love it!

The formula is perfect. The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
It isn't streaky or patchy and it self-levels well. 

It builds up to full opacity in one - two thin and easy coats.


PARTY AT HOLLY'S

Party at Holly's is a burnished mahogany nail polish shade. 
There is something just so "sexy" about this colour. 

The formula is perfect. The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
It isn't streaky or patchy and it self-levels well. 

It builds up to full opacity in one - two thin and easy coats.
The more coats of polish you apply the deeper the colour looks.


I'LL HAVE A MANHATTAN

I'll Have a Manhattan is a deep eggplant purple nail polish shade. 
It's so vampy and sleek and almost looks black. 

The formula is perfect. The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
It isn't streaky or patchy and it self-levels well. 

It builds up to full opacity in one - two thin and easy coats.

I am obsessed with this collection! 

Formula wise they're all literally perfect, they apply easily, they're super glossy, pigmented and opaque, and they dry quickly - the colours and formulas of the polishes in this collection are truely on point! Really impressed.

I quite like the Infinite Shine three-step system and did experience a longer-lasting manicure when using it. 

There is not a particular polish in this collection that I personally wouldn't recommend, - they're all just that good!

My personal favourites are; 'I Believe in Manicures', 'Girls Love Pearls' & 'Ring the Buzzer Again'.

I think this collection encapsulates Audrey Hepburn / Holly Golightly perfectly. Audrey didn't just embody classic beauty, she embraced it, understood it, and made it synonymous with fashion - there's a little bit of Audrey in all of us, and there's no better time than the holiday season with its whirlwind of parties to channel her special brand of chic with this collection. 
I definitely recommend checking this collection out for yourself - you will not be disappointed!
