Love OPI XOXO swatches

Here we are, the entire Love, OPI XOXO collection swatched! Let’s get right into it, shall we?

As always, unless otherwise stated, the swatches consist of a layer of base coat and two coats of polish.

Snow Glad I Met You

Very pretty. Very sheer. If you look closely, there’s some tiny pink shimmer in it. It’s cute. I like.

Ornament to Be Together

Silver glitter. Very glittery. It can definitely be worn on its own but would probably be really cute and festive as one coat over a bright color. But yeah other than that: unexciting.

Coalmates

OHMYGOD. I love this. I don’t know if the picture does it any justice. Probably not. But yo. From a distance it’s kinda gunmetal-y, but then you get closer and it has this blueish charcoalish color with a whole bunch of different colored tiny glitters. LOOOOOVE. It’s badass, but with glitter.

Holidazed Over You

Patchy dark blue on the first coat. Very dark on the second. Not sure when or how I’d wear this but it’s pretty I guess?

Feel the Chemis-tree

How did I ever live my life without having this color nail polish? A bright purple with the prettiest gold shimmer in it? Girl… LOOKATIT

Wanna Wrap?

It’s a veeeery dark purple. I’d use this as a base coat and put something sparkly over it, but that’s a matter of personal taste.

The Color That Keeps On Giving

It’s a veeeery light, soft pink. With dark pink shimmer. I like. Again, very sheer. With two coats you definitely still have some VNL. Honestly this is good. I’m not into very pink nail polish, but this just might do.

Sending You Holiday Hugs

It’s so prettyyyyy. It looks red in the bottle but it’s not. It’s pink. The dark kind. There’s a name for it, but at the time of writing all I can come up with is “pink”.

Adam Said “It’s New Year’s, Eve”

So apparently this is the “Hero shade”. Meaning it’s sorta like the standout color of the collection or whatever. And it’s nice. It’s another red. In a holiday collection. Because of course it is.

My Wish List is You

love-opi-xoxo-holiday-my-wish-list-is-you

OK I don’t understand why a color like this isn’t completely opaque in 2 coats. It’s frustrating. The color itself is something you have to like. It’s maybe something for parties. Or when you’re planning on a Mad Men marathon.

Top the Package with a Beau

I liked this a lot better than I thought I would. The gray isn’t as dark as it looks in the bottle and the golden glitter is very cute.

Gift Of Gold Never Gets Old

love-opi-xoxo-holiday-gift-of-gold-never-gets-old

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, yay gold! On the other hand, it’s kind of a pimp-suit color. Meh. But yeah slightly streaky as can be expected from a metallic-y kind of shade.
