Happy Sunday! Still a little jet lagged unfortunately; all I want to do is sleep. Did you have a good weekend?
Today I have a review of another OPI Designer Series polish for you. Sapphire is a light blue holographic polish that was released in 2006.
3 coats of OPI DS Sapphire without topcoat:
If this polish is not in full light, either indoors or in direct sunlight, I don’t find there to be much of a holographic effect. Even in direct light it is there but it is not a very strong holo. It applied pretty well though. The only complaint I have was that it was a little sheer so I needed 3 coats to get it up to a decent opacity. Even with 3 there was some visible nail line in real life but that doesn’t translate to the pictures. I picked this up at a local supply store a few years ago but it seems like it can be found on e-bay for about $20-$25. I personally don’t think it is worth that price however. A more suitable, and less expensive option could be Nfu Oh 65 which can be found on Nail Polish Canada here. While I don’t currently own it the blue holo looks great in the swatches I have seen online. For another blue holo also check out Loren’s post of HITS Poseidon.
What do you think of this holo? Would you spend $25 on a nail polish?

I have some card just like this nail varnish lol! I don’t know if I could pay that much either.
It is a lot of money. Holos aren’t really cheap anymore.

This nail polish is stunning but not worth that much in my opinion, there must be cheaper alternatives available.
Not really anymore. It’s disappointing really. I think China Glaze is releasing some holos in 2013 but I heard there will be a price increase for them. Not sure how much though.
