Hi girls :)

I finally swatched the whole Muppets collection :) Today is the summary of all the glitters. You can have a look at the Part 1: Colours if you haven't seen it already.

All the glitters except Excuse Moi! were exactly the same only differed in colour. They are great for layering, in fact they look much better layered over another colour. All the swatches here (except Excuse Moi!) are over Color Club Black.

Getting’ Miss Piggy With It - small red hexagonal glitter mixed with large silver hexagonal glitter in a clear base. Again I've used one coat of glitter and one coats of topcoat. It dries fast and you better use the fiol technique to remove it. This combo reminds me of Deborah Lippmann Ruby Red Slippers polish except in DL polish are all glitters red, no silver ones. I personally like this mani with Getting’ Miss Piggy With It better...and it's chaper ;)

Fresh Frog of Bel Air - small green hexagonal glitter mixed with large silver hexagonal glitter in a clear base. I've applied one coat of glitter and one coats of topcoat. There's not much more to say about this glitter, only that it dries fast and looks good :)

Gone Gonzo! - small light blue hexagonal glitter mixed with large silver hexagonal glitter in a clear base. It has exactly the same formula as other glitters in this collection - dries fast, it's tough to remove and applies good. This one reminds me Revlon Blue Mosaic except it doesn't contain green glitter.

Rainbow Connection - different size and colour glitters in a clear base. This is a great layering polish. I don't like it by itself, it looks like circus on the nails or confetti, just too much. But like this over black or white it looks quite nice :)

Divine Swine - purple and silver glitter in a clear base. The purple glitter is ordinary small glitter, the silver glitter is bigger hexagonal glitter. It dried fast which is always great. It really reminds me of polishes like Revlon Facets of Fuchsia and Deborah Lippmann Bad Romance.

Excuse Moi! - beautiful dark pink jelly with different size and colour glitters. There's so many colours that I'm not going to write them all :D I've applied two thicker coats and you can see the coverage in the pictures. I think it's pretty good for a glitter and jelly :) It dried reasonably fast. As most glitters, I had to use a layer of topcoat to make it nice and smooth. This polish is really adorable and I like it the most from all the glitters in the collection :)

Hi girls,

I would like to put the Muppets Collection in one place (actually two places - two parts) so that's why this post :) Glitters coming next :)

Here we go, OPI Muppets Holiday Collection 2011:

Designer... de Better! - silver foil packed with orange flecks. This is a great polish! It's so shiny! It applied great and the pigmentation is good so I've used 2 thicker coats. Drying time was average but you can use fast drying top coat. The only problem was the small brush that comes with the OPI minis (of course, my choice..). I've never seen the same shade anywhere so for me this is definitely a unique shade. Sure I've seen silver foil polishes but they haven't had the orange flecks.

Wocka Wocka! - deep shimmerry red. Beautiful dark red with a great formula! The pigmentation was excellent - I've used 2 coats but the first one was almost enough. It was very easy to apply, not watery at all and dried reasonably fast. 

Warm & Fozzie -Gold, brown and pink foil particles. This colour is quite hard to describe because it looks like foil but it's not really foil. Also all the particles are kinda in a light coloured jelly. I've used two thicker coats and the coverage was quite enough. Polish dried fast and the colour is sooo cute!

Meep Meep Meep - pink and gold glass flecks in a fuchsia jelly-like base. Beautiful, beautiful colour! I like jelly and glass flecks polishes and this one is just yummy! It applied really nicely and formula dries quite fast - just like most of other OPIs. I've used two coats and it was enough for a full coverage. If you'll enlarge the close up images, you'll see that the glass flecks make the nail sufrace a little rough. I'd recommend thick topcoat like Seche Vite to even the surface.

Animal-istic -reddish orange duochrome changing into rosy pink. Duochrome is not very strong but it is there and you can spot it in some pictures. I firstly thought that it is a shimmer but when I looked closer I saw fine glass flecks in it. The flecks are much finer than in Meep Meep Meep. The pigmentation is very good, I've applied two coats for a full coverage but even in one coat the colour was good-ish. Also polish dried fast even without topcoat.

 Pepe's Purple Passion - dark raisin/burgundy purple with glass flecks. The glass fleck seem to be gold and purple in the bottle but I couldn't actually spot them on the nail, they got coloured. The application was difficultt because the polish is quite thick and gooey and the glass fleck stick together, I had application problems especially on the sides of the nails as I couldn't paint a straight line :-/ Definitely worst formula of all Muppets but bear in mind all others have great formula. Pigmentation is good, I've applied 2 coats for a full coverage. I applied topcoat because the finish was a bit gritty from the larger glass flecks.
