REVIEW: OPI All That Shimmers Set!

Hello loves! It is that time of the year when it's time to sparkle! With the holiday and shaadi (desi wedding) season on it's way, who can say no to a little glitter!? O.P.I has got your finger tips covered, literally, with their All That Shimmers set!


The set comes compactly packed in cardboard with fullsize bottles of the O.P.I Natural Nail Base Coat and Top Coat along with two jars of glitter that should last you a lifetime. You get two stunning shimmery shades, a silver with blue and pink holo, and a true gold with a slight green and red holographic effect. You get instructions to apply it at the back. I used the Base Coat first, waited until semi-dry and then dusted the glitter onto my fingernails with a fluffy brush I had on hand, finishing off with the Top Coat to seal the deal!

Top coat and base coat are pretty decent quality, and what surprised me most is how easy it was to remove the polish since my experience with glitter polish removal has never been pleasant. This was really a dream to remove!

I do have to say that while the jars can be a bit messy, I like that the glitter is of good enough quality that it doesn't stick to everything and anything. Even the bits I got all over my hands, was brushed off easily so the worst nightmare of getting glitter everywhere never came true. Hah. That said, it would've been a great set if it came with a couple of applicators perhaps? For a beginner it might be a litttttle daunting to have to use this set and not have any brushes or applicators to apply it with. Overall, quality wise, and the amount of shimmers and full size base + top coat that you get, I think it's a pretty neat set! It's definitely not for everyone, because I am personally not a fan of glitter fingernails, but for glitter lovers this would be a great present for the holidays, or if you've got lots of weddings coming up, or are a bride-to-be and want something extra special for the manicure of the day, then this would be a good pick. For some reason I think the gold glitter is perfect for Christmas and the silver is made for NYE! What do you think?

O.P.I All That Shimmers set, applied on nails.
This set seems to be a recent addition to the local O.P.I counters and was kindly sent to me to try out. I don't think it's available on Just4girls.pk yet, but if you're interested you can keep an eye out for new O.P.I stock here but they've got some nice sets in stock right now as well!

My Rating:
3/5: Pretty neat set!
Have a great day ladies! Lot's of love!
