OPI Glitzerland - NOTD

Hi everyone, how was sunday for you?  I woke early just because i couldnt wait to paint my nail with the OPi nail polishes i got yesterday.

Glitzerland was part of OPI’s Fall 2010 collection OPI Swiss collection.

Glitzerland  is the most flattering gold nail polish i have tried so far.  Its no doubt foil finish gold metallic.I needed 3 coats to get it opaque.Its a beautiful gold shade with champagne-ish touch to it .

The formula is great . It dries quickly , otherwise its unlikely for me to have perfect application as i am impatient and usually i mess up my mani before its dries. The brush is wonderful. One coat was enough to cover my whole nail.

I love it , i love the way it complements my skin tone. o you own/like this polish? Let me know!
