OPI Designer Series - Extravagance

Thursday, October 7, 2010
Hey everyone! I like OPI because besides from their massive amount of red polishes they offer really pretty shades. One thing I like the most about OPI is their Designer Series line, full of 'special' polishes. They have one for everyone's taste and I am a real DS craver. I like the holographic ones but the ones that others classify as boring or not unique are also of my liking. Maybe it has something to do with the 'special' silver caps, maybe it's just a weird habit of mine but I can't help it. Designer Series polishes are always screaming to me that I should buy them.

OPI Designer Series Extravagance

This is one of my favourites, Extravagance. It's a super rich red toned purple with a huge amount of sexy shimmer in it. With sexy I mean holo that wants to pop out but doesn't, giving this a gorgeous depth. While writing this down I do realise I sound like a freak but really this is sex in a bottle. Not porn - loooooove making. You know what I mean?

One thing though, I can't STAND this tiny little thing about the Designer Series, you might have noticed in the picture above: the bottle caps suck.

OPI Designer Series Extravagance

The silver wears off. Not only with this bottle, all my bottles. This is super annoying because when the silver comes off it sticks to your hands and it's really hard to remove those little suckers so after opening a bottle, I need to wash my hands. Luckily enough the caps wear off after a few times so I'm not doomed to wash my hands every time I open them but it's just.. annoying. Excusez moi for the rant but I needed to get this off my chest. Do you also have troubles with the caps or is it just me and only a few others? And what's your favourite DS polish?

Thanks for stopping by!

Extravagance is beautiful, and it looks gorgeous on you! I don't have any problems with the DS caps flaking off, but maybe I'm just not using them enough. :P
My favorite DS is Glamour, total love!

My bottle caps do the same thing. I think its sucky and ruins the specialness of the Designer series polishes

This is super... It's not nice about the caps... :(
Bah annoying, not something for a brand like OPI..
I don't have any of the DS, but I really like OPI At First Sight. It's the perfect transparent color! So pretty, really tiny shimmers.. yea definitely my fav.
Oh deze is echt prachtig!
I don´t have that problem with my DS polishes at all. My favorite is Glamour, but I also like Desire, Fantasy, Magic, Original, Shimmer and Extravagance very much!! Yes, I´m an addict for OPI DS polishes as well :P

Pretty!

I don't have that problem with my DS caps. Weird.
My bottle caps are still good. Nothing chipping or peeling for me. :( It sucks that it's ruining your bottles; it really does detract from the DS series. You'd think with paying that much extra for a "designer" polish, they'd have a bottle cap that doesn't wear from everyday use/abuse.

Mine do that too!
I don't have any DS polishes, so I can't comment on the caps...but I really, really want some, especially this one! It looks gorgeous on you!
Every time I go to Ulta I want to buy this but I can't justify the price. It looks gorgeous though. How is the wear on this?

Thanks for the comments everyone! :-)
Bahhh indeed. what a poor cap!! Otherwise a great polish!
Yeah the caps suck! Some great colors though, so it's a shame they failed with the caps.
This is one of my favorite DS colors too! :)) Love your pics! And yes, the cap sucks, my new ones are still fine but the poor old Signature bottle looks awful. I have a ton of polishes with silver caps and they all look fine. I mean, if they infuse the polish with diamond dust, couldn't they do something with the quality of their caps?!
ugh, i broke my new bottle of extravangance :(

but nope, my DS bottle caps are okay, nothing's wrong with them, perhaps you can paint a clear coat of polish over the cap to prevent the cap from peeling and sticking onto your hands again?
