OPI Absolutely Alice Vs OPI Reflecting Pool

This is just a quick post comparing the two, I was almost put off ordering Absolutely Alice as it's a blue with gold glitter which sounded really similar to Reflecting Pool but I'm glad I did get it as actually they are totally different. So just incase anyone else thought the same thing I thought it would be helpful to post swatches, these are done on tape as Mad As A Hatter is not coming off my nails yet! This is pic heavy but I wanted to show the difference as much as possible.

Hopefully you can see the difference as in person it really shows. Absolutely Alice is almost clear with blue and gold glitter, it's pretty chunky and will need a thick layer of top coat to feel smooth. Reflecting pool has gold glitter and is more of a green blue. It's a much smoother polish as there is not so much glitter. Both of these need 3 coats to be opaque.

If I had to choose I think Absolutely Alice would be my favourite of the two as its a much brighter colour and just looks a bit more special!

OPI Alice In Wonderland and Konad Plate Haul and NOTW Mad As A Hatter

I couldn't wait to get my hands on Absolutely Alice and Mad As A Hatter from the OPI Alice in Wonderland collection, I was checking on Radiant Babe every day and on Friday night I saw they were available so placed an order straight away. They arrived on Tuesday morning and I couldn't wait to get Mad As A Hatter on my nails.

I picked two plates with full nail stamps as I really like the full designs and I think they are easier to stamp. Expect to see these on my nails soon!

On to the nails, this is 3 coats of Mad As A Hatter with Leighton Denny top coat. It is basically a clear base with multicolour glitter, the first coat goes on very sheer with a really sparse covering of glitter but by the third coat it was solid with none of my nail showing through, its gonna be a complete pain to take off but I still love it. I tried to take pictures in different lighting as it really does look different, sometimes it looks more silver, other times the purple really shows through. It almost looks like jewels. I went out this evening and it looks incredible under street lights!
