Jump to the post to read how this will be compiled and what you can look forward to!
I'm extremely excited about this post you are about to scroll through.
The moment I saw word that OPI was coming out with a FULL collection of Liquid Sand polishes I was beside myself with anticipation! Swatches and bottle shots started popping up and my mouth was watering!
Well...I received my set earlier today and couldn't even stand to wait one second to get them on my fingerzzz! If you follow me on Instagram, you saw me splashing photos all over the place of my new pretties.
So first things first...
Polishes In This Post:

Lets Check these beautiful ladies out:
From Left to Right:
Solitaire
Tiffany Case
Honey Ryder
Vesper
Jinx
Pussy Galore
I'm going to get the wordy stuff out of the way so you can just focus on the pics.
Each of these polishes is opaque in just 2 coats, with the exception of Pussy Galore, which took 3 coats. Formula on most of these were right in the middle, just what you would expect. Exceptions were Honey Ryder which was thicker than the others, but can almost be a one coater, and Tiffany Case, which was the thinnest of the 6. All of these polishes produce a gorgeous sparkle, with and without topcoat, with the exception of Vesper which is a matte texture with no glitters whatsoever.
Lets do this!

All in all - wow!
These polishes are all must haves.
With the exception of Vesper - these all sparkle soooo much, with and without topcoat.
Jinx surprised me at how much I fell for it, the sparkle in that polish is nothing short of a full on glitterbomb.
My picks of the collection are Honey Ryder (I'm a sucker for gold, what can I say!?), Solitaire and Jinx.
These polishes release in May and retail for $9.00 in the US and $10.95 in Canada. You can find OPI at Professional Salons, including Beauty Brands, Chatters, JCP Salons, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, and ULTA
