OPI Liquid Sand Review / Swatches / Comparison

Hello~

Today I have reviews and swatches of some of OPI's liquid sand polishes. I remember when they first came out, I was all "liquid sand?!? nail polish is supposed to be shiny and glossy!" I now really like the liquid sand trend. :D The comparison of the three red/pink/coral liquid sands are near the end of the post!

(Pictures aren't very good today..sorry! >.<)

You can see I got most of the red/pink/coral ones.. heehee

Under indirect artificial light. (Thumb is Magazine Cover Mouse.)

At first, I was sort of worried that these three would all look the same. Boy, was I wrong.

Oh, The Impossible has star glitter, as you can see in the bottle. When I painted these, however, I rushed and didn't have time to fish out the star glitter.. -.-

See? It's much more obvious in real life, but you can tell that these three colors are indeed different. In real life, The Impossible is a hot pink, Jinx is much more coral with the golden glitter, and Magazine Cover Mouse is a very pigmented dark strawberry red. Some people may argue that they are all very similar, but in the nail world, these three are not dupes for each other. :P

My 2 cents on liquid sand: I know it's been a while since the trend has been out, but overall I like the liquid sand finish. It's not as rough as I thought it would be; more like sandpaper rough...? These polishes look especially pretty in sunlight, because the intense amount of glitter sparkles like crazy! I got compliments on The Impossible, which is the most pink out of the three. Removal wasn't as annoying as I thought it would be. I used the foil method to remove the glitter.

'Til next time!
