OPI: Gwen Stefani Holiday Collection, part 2 of 2

Hi Monkeys! I have the second part of the Gwen Stefani collection from this past holiday season. The first part (most of the reds) are HERE. You could probably still find these. The second part is full of great polishes, check them out!

 Black small hex glitters mingled with large and small hex iridescent glitters in a clear base make for some shiny nails!

More after the jump!

OPI: Gwen Stefani - holiday 2014 swatches, part 1

Hi Monkeys, Happy New Year! I have the first part of the very large polish collection from Gwen Stefani that was released for the holiday 2014 season.
Here we go!

A red creme that is a bit jelly and has a some orange intentions

A true red creme that is a show stopper with blue undertones!

A true red that isn't quite a creme but not a jelly.. just squishy fun

A stunning red shimmer creme with fantastic glass flecks of goodness

A deep red\maroon crelly.. not really a creme, not really a jelly

A deep rich purple with a hint of shimmer, love this one!

A super dark purple\red\burgundy creme

 A deep forest green creme with amazing coverage

These are just a few of the new Gwen Stefani colors... more in another post. So far, there are lots... LOTS of reds.. makes sense because it's Gwen's signature color but.. may be a little over kill on the reds.. unless you really love reds. Personally, I can only wear warm colored reds so I'm biased :)

OPI: Push and Shove and Over & Over A-Gwen- swatches

*press samples* 

I have the last two polishes from OPI's Gwen Stefani collection for you. You can see the previous ones HERE. So today I have Push and Shove, Over and Over A-Gwen and a cute mani using 3 of the polishes from this awesome collection.

 First, here's a real simple mani you can do using Over & Over A-Gwen, 4 In The Morning and  Push & Shove. It's a little shiny rocker-chic with three different finishes. 4 In The Morning didn't really show as well over Push & Shove but it still looks leathery or rubbery so it works well. Plus, you can't go wrong with Push & Shove because it's pretty fantastic.

 The signature red hue of Gwen Stefani. This is such a cherry bomb color, I love it! Only thing I don't like about red polishes is the clean up is hard and it doesn't remove from the cuticle as easy. 

Push & Shove is amazing. This chrome\foil\metallic finish is breath taking. It literally looks like mercury on your nail. You start with Lay Down That Base (special base coat for this finish), and do two thin coats of color making sure that the first is dry or else you will get drag. No top coat necessary and it dries quickly so you're good to go soon after application. It's a big impact for little effort, love this!

As a quick comparison, Big Apple Red is super duper close to Over & Over A-Gwen but may be a bit darker. Very very hard to tell on the nail though, but the Gwen is much better in my opinion because you get the awesome bottle and packaging which includes a bunch of Swarovski studs for nail art! Worth it. :) 

This promotion will be available beginning January 2014 at Professional Salons, including Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Chatters, Dillard’s, JCPenney, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, and ULTA, for  $9.00 ($10.95 CAN) suggested retail for each nail lacquer. The boxed set including Over & Over A-Gwen and SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS will retail for $14.95 ($18.95 CAN).
