NOTD: 21/09/09 OPI Reflecting Pool

As someone who is beginning to really get back into nail stuff, I have a few nail blogs on my reading list. One of my favourites is The Nailphile who does some quite amazing swatching. Recently she featured a polish from OPI called "Reflecting Pool" which looked absolutely stunning. I made a note of the name, saw it was limited edition and gave up hope of owning it. Drool over her swatches of "Reflecting Pool".

Then I stumbled across it in my local Sally's. We pay a ridiculous price for our OPI in the UK compared to the US, but this has been worth every penny. I discovered it wasn't released over in the US, but I'm not sure if it was just a UK or a European release.

It's a beautiful foil looking blue with gold sparkles. I don't think it's quite big enough to class as glitter, but it definitely sparkles! This is quite possibly the most unique polish I've ever seen. This is 4 coats as the polish is very runny. It kept trying to fall off the brush! I think the finished look is worth the 4 coats though!
