The Lacquer Files: OPI Designer Series

Good afternoon everyone! Today I want to show you one of the two new Designer Shades from OPI. They brought out these two for fall and even though they're not the most unique shades around, they sure are pretty. I was in doubt to buy Magic because I thought I had similar shades in my stash but in the end I'm happy I got it, it's a nice addition.

Magic is a sparkly darker blue with a strong purple tone in it. At first I thought it looked a bit like OPI INK but this one is way more sparkly, glittery and has a stronger hint of blue. What I love about this one is that it also flashes purple on the nail. I had serious issues with capturing this but it really is there and it just shifts constantly from blue to purple. Application was good and I'm wearing three coats. Drying time was also fast.

I think Magic is very close to Orly's Lunar Eclipse. I'm not sure about that but I will compare these for myself once, curiosity always wins it from my wallet!

How do you feel about Magic? And what about the other one, Radiance? I might have to get that one too, it looks gorgeous on swatches. I'm such a sucker for silver sparkly stuff.

Thanks for stopping by!
Michelle

This is just stunning. And it reminds me of OPI Ink, too...but like you said, way more sparkly!

I bought OPI DS Magic a month ago but I haven't tried it yet (too much untrieds on my nail polishes shelf!). Unfortunately I don't have Orly Lunar Eclipse (Orly is very hard to find for italian girls, moreover their polishes cost 16-18€ ) so I can't do a comparison. But I'm curious, I'll wait for yours! :D

Wow, so pretty! I need this...I can hear my wallet crying ;)

I got DS Magic, and I also have Orly's Lunar Eclipse so I did a little comparison on my fingers, and they look really, really alike, except that Lunar Eclipse is a little more purple duochrome in the bottle, and DS Magic has chunkier glitters. : D

O hey, I posted a comparison swatch here : D

Damn glitters, the camera can't focus on both at the same time!

Thanks! I can see the glitters are chunkier. Now I need to see for myself ;-)

Very nice! I think i'm still getting magic!
It seems more blue than blue-purple as Lunar Eclipse :)

Vettelicious · 751 weeks ago

It's beatiful! Amazingly deep and glittery. I think I'll have to find it so I can cross it off my wantlist. It's been there for a while already :)

I am a sucker for blues, so Magic is already in my stash, I love it!

I agree that I think its close to Lunar Eclipse. Can't wait till you compare the two :)
