Swatch: OPI Silent Stars Go By

I won this polish in a giveaway. All opinions are my own.

Last week I won a giveaway at Shelby Lou Nails! I got a set of three mini OPI Liquid Sands from the Mariah Carey holiday collection. The collection as a whole isn't too exciting to me (do we need that many more red polishes??), but I had my eye on the Liquid Sands thanks to my love of texture!

The first one I tried on is Silent Stars Go By. This is a silvery blush-colored textured polish with lots of silver hexes thrown in.

OPI Silent Stars Go By, two coats.
I really liked the formula on this polish; it applied in thin, easy-to-control coats. It dried quickly without the aid of a topcoat. (I did wear a basecoat with this.)



I have to say, having tried several textured polishes from multiple brands, I think I prefer the neutral/nude ones over more colorful polishes--maybe because they look like natural stone with gems buried inside? Anyway, I'm a big fan of Silent Stars Go By; I think it would be great to wear to a classy holiday party!

  1. Gorgeous! I agree with you on the too many reds thing, too. I get that a lot of people (mostly older women) lean toward "normal" colors like reds and pinks, but I really wish OPI would release a collection with less than three or four reds for a change!

    1. At this point I'm wondering if it's even possible for OPI not to dupe itself when it comes to reds. The human eye can only distinguish so many shades...

  2. Glitters! I love the article, very insightful and informative. The article has a lot of information that will help people understand, this provides awareness and the importance of taking care of ourselves and also our loved ones. It also has a user-friendly approach and it is easy on the eyes. It will help reach people from all over the globe if ads and promotions will be created with its own unique design and a user-friendly approach by adding stickers from https://estickers.com.au, which has a wide variety of custom design stickers.
