Classic Monday "Yule Love This Silver" Review

Yule Love This Silver was released as part of the 2001 (I believe, correct me if I'm wrong please!) OPI Holiday Collection.

Yule Love This Silver has a clear base and is jammed full of holo (!) micro glitter! In the bottle the colour can seem a little done (who doesn't have a bottle or two of silver glitter polish?) but once you see it in direct light.  Holy crap! It's awesome! Super sparkly. I could not stop staring at my nails!

Classic Monday "Russian Navy" Review

Russian Navy is described as "Wait until you see this deep-sea indigo" by OPI.


Russian Navy was originally released as part of the 2007 Russian Collection. Colour wise it's gorgeous. A beautiful navy blue with red microshimmer mixed in. Amazing! I bought this colour thinking it was OPI Ink because of how purple the microshimmer made it look in the bottle. I was super shocked when it come out blue but feel instantly in love with it. From far away it looks like an inky navy blue, close up you can just see a hint of the microshimmer adding a nice rich detail to the colour.

Classic Monday "All A-Bordeaux The Sled!

All A-Bordeaux The Sled! was originally realeased as part of the 2009 Holiday Wishes Collection. Due to the colour not being apart of the core collection, I'm not able to offer the official OPI description.

Classic Monday "A-Rose at Dawn...Broke by Noon"

A-Rose at Dawn...Broke by Noon is described as "A gleaming , gambling, rambling rose" by OPI.


A-Rose at Dawn...Broke by Noon  was originally released in 2003 as part of the Las Vegas Collection by OPI. This polish is a cool toned medium metallic frosted rose colour. The colour screams 1980's.  I haven't seen a colour this frosted since grade school. 

Classic Monday "Midnight In Moscow" Review

Midnight In Moscow is described as "Charcoal with a hint of maroon glimmer." by OPI.

Midnight In Moscow was originally released as part of the 2007 Russian Collection. I can vividly remember looking at the ad campaign for this collection and thinking I really want that colour. Of course that was before my OPI obsession kicked into full gear so let's fast forward to 2011 when I finally got my hands on this colour. 

Classic Monday "Hawaiian Orchid" Review

Hawaiian Orchid is described as "Tropical Pink with hints of light purple" by OPI.

Classic Monday "You Don't Know Jacques!"

You Don't Know Jacques! is described as "If you don't know how trendy this taupe is!" by O.P.I. (Yeah, I thought it was a typo too but it's not)

Classic Monday "Strawberry Margarita" Review

Strawberry Margarita is described as "Sip into this bright pink and enjoy!" by O.P.I.

It's another Monday and you know what that means...I don't have to go to work (jealous aren't you?) and you get another instalment of Classic Monday.

Classic Monday "Alpine Snow" Review

Alpine Snow is described as "Fresh, crisp white, perfect for French-look tips" by O.P.I.

Classic Monday "Big Apple Red" Review

Big Apple Red, is described as "Bright, shiny and ready to take on the world" by OPI. 

Big Apple Red, is tomato red, bright shiny, farm fresh tomatoe red. This shade was originally released as  part of the O.P.I.'s  New York Collection. Since it's original release Big Apple Red has become one of O.P.I.'s best sellers earning it a place in the Classic Collection.

Classic Monday "Bubble Bath" Review

Bubble Bath is described as "Sweet Candy Pink" by O.P.I. (straight and to the point, I like it)

Bubble Bath is a sheer pale pink polish that dries to a glossy creme finish. Originally part of the Sheer Romance Collection, it is now part of O.P.I.'s Classic Collection.

I have to say this was one of the most hyped colours, I've encountered. Everyone seems to have a love/hate relationship with it. I'm sure  this is because of "bubble gate", the changing of the formula from a "whitish pink" to a "pinker pink". I'm only familiar with the "pinker version" of the colour so I can't compare.

Classic Monday "Tickle My France-y" Review

I thought I would start Classic Collection Monday because what are we without the classics? 

Tickle My France-y is described as "In this naughty shade of nude" by OPI. (Does anyone else think that's a silly tag line?)

Tickle My France-y nude pink colour with a hint of beige. Way too much beige I think.

This polish was originally part of OPI's La Collection De France released in 2008 and is now part of the Classic Collection. I got this polish as a mini part of the Best of the Best Holiday Collection and I'm glad I did. This is not a colour, I'll ever wear again but it might be handy for nail art. I think the mini bottles are a great way to try out a colour before committing to a full size bottle.
