I am so excited!\u00a0 I dropped into Ricky’s today on my lunch break and the first thing I saw was the brand new OPI collection for August – a collaboration with Miss Universe.\u00a0 The girl working there informed me that they had just come in yesterday.\u00a0\u00a0 Squee!\u00a0 The polishes are sassy and fun, and I ended up taking three of the four home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And you know that I started swatching immediately.\u00a0 See my #1 polish pick from this collection after the jump.<\/p>\n

It’s MY Year<\/h2>\n

I am absolutely swooning over this beauty.\u00a0 IMO it’s the real standout of Miss Universe.\u00a0 It’s MY Year is described as an “iridescent pink” but I’d call it more of a plum, with heaps of copper and gold microglitter lending it a duochrome look.<\/p>\n

It applied beautifully.\u00a0 I used two coats but one would probably be OK if you’re in a hurry.\u00a0 The duochrome effect helps mask that annoying VNL.\u00a0 Here are about 3,568 pictures that I took because I was so smitten.<\/p>\n

These are in natural light<\/p>\n

With flash the plum base really pops.\u00a0 You can also see how the nail surface is slightly pitted due to the microglitter.\u00a0 A coat of Seche Vite or similar will smooth that out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And just for fun, here’s a comparison of It’s MY Year with China Glaze Awakening.\u00a0 Clearly they’re pretty different, although they’re both plums with gold duochrome, n’est ce pas?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also bought Crown Me Already! (a thick, shiny silver glitter) and Swimsuit… Nailed It! (an electric, metallic blue).\u00a0 They are all swatched but I should probably be a responsible adult and take care of some non-blog responsibilities before I post them.<\/p>\n

Has anyone else checked out the Miss Universe polishes?<\/p>\n
