Gab has already reviewed the Alice in Wonderland glitters here, and beauties they are too. But there are two other shades in the collection, which are…wait for it…a red creme and a red shimmer! Knock us down with a feather, OPI.

They are mighty pretty, though…

“Off With Her Red” is a dusty and muted red creme. It’s nothing like the bright red cremes we’ve seen from a lot of companies over the last couple of seasons. I think it’s pretty unique in my stash. It reminds me a little of  OPI “Crepes Suzi-ette” from the 2008 France collection – although this is much redder, it has that same subdued quality. I’ve worn “Crepes Suzi-ette” many times, and I think this polish is another excellent work-appropriate number.

“Thanks so Much-ness” is a red micro-shimmer. It has a really interesting tiny pink flakie shimmer in the bottle, but that sadly didn’t show up on the nail in my mani. You can see a hint of the pink in this pic, but on my neutral skin it was a lot less pink than I’ve seen in other pictures. It reminds me of  OPI “Pomegranate Me A Wish”, which I believe was a Beauty Brands Holiday 2009 exclusive.

The formula on both of these polishes was flawless, as was the brush. I had no issues whatsoever and didn’t need to do any cleanup. Both pictures show just 2 coats. Reds can sometimes be intimidating and unforgiving, but these are ideal for beginner and seasoned red-lover alike.

OPI does get a lot of stick from the nail polish community about their obsession with red. It does seem that they find it really hard to leave the red pigment alone. But red is hands down my favourite colour, making up a large part of my stash. I know that’s the same for a lot of women, whether their stash is 3 or 3000 polishes strong. So whilst it’s great to have exciting finishes and colours, I say thank you to OPI for giving us red lovers something new to enjoy.
