NEW OPALLAC #GLITTERARMY GEL POLISH 2018 - SWATCHES & REVIEW

Opallac is the Australian gel nail innovation promising glamorous salon quality gel nail colour; designed to last up to 14 days. The unique Opallac Gel formula glides on like normal nail polish and sets instantly like gel when cured by the revolutionary Opallac LED nail lamp. 

NO dry time! NO chipping! NO smudges! It's easy, AND it can be done at home!  

Opallac have introduced three new, on-trend and sparkly, metallic gel nail colours to add to the #OpallacGlitterArmy. I have the three new Opallac Gel nail colours to review for you today :)



WHITE DIAMONDS
White Diamonds is a clear based white gold-silver glitter bomb comprised of small and micro silver shimmer and glitters. 
Radiant, blingy and eye-catching. It looks just like diamonds glistening! I love it!

The formula is great! The polish effortlessly glides onto the nail and self-levels well.

It's more sheer than the other polishes in this collection, but covers well and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two - three thin coats. My swatch shows two thin coats.


GOLD DIGGER
Gold Digger is a shimmery gold gel polish, with silver micro glitter particles scattered throughout it.The goldest of golds! 
There is something so regal about this colour. It's glorious!

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 covers amazingly well and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two thin coats.


ROSE QUARTZ
Rose Quartz is a shimmery rose gold gel polish, with silver micro glitter particles scattered throughout it. Perfection perfection perfection! Is there really any other word?
A crowd pleaser for sure! I'm a Registered Nurse and wore this to work for over a week and got compliments on the daily. It's amazing!

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.

I am literally OBSESSED with these polishes!! 
The colours are STUNNING and so on-trend. The formulas are fantastic - these polishes are so jam-packed with dense glittery goodness that they build up to full opacity beautifully. They also cure perfectly smooth under the Opallac LED nail lamp with no gritty glitter texture. It's a HUGE HUGE HUGE thumbs up from me! Yet again, Opallac have left me in awe!

I definitely recommend trying these stunning stunning stunning new polishes, and Opallac in general (the brand is phenomenal!).
I pride myself in giving completely honest reviews, so when I say you NEED these polishes in your life, I genuinely mean it!

Barry M have smashed it out of the park, yet again, with these Nail Paints!
I have featured the Molten Metal Nail Paint range on here before* and can genuinely say it is by far my favourite range by Barry M. 
The formulas of these nail paints are practically perfect - they apply effortlessly onto the nail, are easily opaque and dry super quickly! They are filled with amazing shimmery (and holographic) goodness that sparkles in every light - so pretty and on-trend! 
I love me some shiny metallic nails so it is no surprise that I am totally obsessed with these!

I also really like the amazing wide brush these nail paints have that make the "three-stroke-method" of application effortless. There are also no brush strokes evident when they dry down which is awesome, especially for metallic nail polish. 

I have been trying to pick my favourites to recommend but it's just way too hard to choose. I am obsessed with all of them - they're all seriously that good! 
Definitely recommend trying them out! They are amazing!
So excited for more colours to be added to the Molten Metal Nail Paint range

VANILLA SOFTSERVE
Vanilla Softserve is a stark white nail polish shade.
I love the look of a clean white manicure!

The formula is perfect! The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail silky smooth. It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well. 
It's seriously the best white nail polish I have ever tried! 

It's extremely pigmented, covers amazingly well and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in one - two thin coats! One coat is perfectly opaque and wearable, but I personally prefer the look of two coats. 


PISTACHIO GELATO
Pistachio Gelato is a pastel sky blue nail polish shade. 
Absolutely beautiful! I am sure this one will be a crowd pleaser. 

The formula is fantastic! The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail.

PINK ICED CRÉME
Pink Iced Créme is a delicate pink nail polish shade. 
I love how feminine this looks on the nail.

The formula is kind of crelly-like but builds up nicely.
Considering the type of polish this is and the typical formula associated with these kinds of shades, this formula is quite possibly the best I have ever tried - it applies effortlessly and actually applies evenly! 
It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well.

It covers well and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two - three thin coats.
Apply one single coat for a beautiful and clean manicured look.
