Today I decided I wanted to show people the liquid sand colours I had acquired from the recent OPI collections! I thought I'd post this sooner rather then later because these limited edition shades are still available on Nail Polish Canada's website.
I have 5 of the liquid sand colours, all from different collections. I have 3 from the Bond Girls Liquid Sand collection, the liquid sand colour from the Oz collection, and lastly the liquid sand polish from the Couture de Minnie collection.
The first liquid sand polish I bought was What Wizardry Is This? from the Oz soft shades collection. This polish has a sheer black base with gold glitter in it... or thats what you think when you just look at it in the bottle! Once on the nails the glittery-ness goes to a whole other level! Shining red, green.... almost holographic when it's in the sun. Indoors it is not as beautiful as it is outside, but still stunning non the less! For this polish I also prefer it with a top coat because it seems to bring out the sparkle more then it would if it was matte.

Now for some amazing-ness......
Two coats, with two coats of seche-vite top coat!
My camera wouldn't capture how awesome it looks with top coat outside, the amount of sparkle it had was out of this world!
Next are my three polishes from the Bond Girls collection. Out of all the swatches I saw online of this collection I opted for Pussy Galore (a frosty light pink with fuchsia glitter), Solitaire (a frosty white with silver glitter) and Honey Ryder (a cool toned gold with gold and silver glitter/shimmer).
I'll start with Pussy Galore! Pussy galore as previously mentioned is a light frosty pink. At first when I saw swatches I immediately didn't like it in the bottle, because I hate frosty polishes! To my surprise, this polish is stunning, the frosty pink looks really nice in liquid sand formula!

(I know this pic is blurry, but it was the best for me to show you how much more the fuchsia glitter shows up with top coat...although I don't think it was successful :P )
Next is Honey Ryder. Normally I don't buy gold nail polish because I don't find that it suits me. I thought this one would be okay because it's more cool toned then other golds that OPI has come out with! Where I do wish it was more cool toned then it already is, it is still a stunning shade on! I think this a colour I would totally rock in the fall and winter months! (please don't mind the unfortunate cut in this and upcoming pictures :( )

Next up...and possibly my favourite from the bond girls collection is Solitaire. Solitaire is a white base with silver glitter. This white is so easy to wear, very possibly because of the texture and the silver glitter taking away some of the starkness that white normally has. I would wear this shade all year round, it's fresh for summer, but is frosty and snow like for winter!

Two coats of polish (two coats of seche vite top coat) Like Honey Ryder, I barely noticed any change in the polishes glitter with top coat.
Last but not least, is my most recent liquid sand purchase. It is Magazine Cover Mouse from the couture de Minnie collection. I would describe this as a pink (raspberry/strawberry) coloured red. I don't know why, but I really don't like red as a liquid sand. I'm pretty boring when it comes to my liquid sand colours, I also don't like the blues or greens really....sigh. But when I put a top coat on this shade, my mind was blown. It is so stunning, the glitter particles stand out so much better. Definitely a shade I'll be sporting this up coming holiday season!

See what I mean about the glitter! wow so beautiful! Again two coats with two coats of seche vite
Annnnd that concludes this post! I love my little stash of liquid sand polishes. I also have zoya pixie dust in the colour godiva, but I don't find it nearly as spectacular as my OPI ones! Like I said these are just my picks, I didn't see the value of buying the others because I know I wouldn't wear them :( ! Hope you enjoyed these swatches!
