OPI Mystic Moonshine

     We are having some crummy weather today (and for the rest of the week) in New York, so the next few posts will be coming from the backlog. Damn Mother Nature, always trying to ruin my life. But anyway, here's Mystic Moonshine, from OPI's New England Collection.


Mystic Moonshine is a silver base, studded with small, square silver glitter.

    I don't like Mystic Moonshine. The silver base is quite pretty and clean, but the glitter just looks lumpy and messy to me. That was weird too, because the glitter didn't feel lumpy. It just looked lumpy. I also felt like it didn't sparkle properly, and in this type of color, the sparkle is necessary. I kind of want to keep it, just because it's elderly, but moving my polish back home this past weekend has taught me that mercy and sentiment is for the weak and the masochistic. So regrettably, Mystic Moonshine will have to be re-homed.
    But moving on to the formula, Mystic Moonshine was okay...not terrible, but not great. It was opaque in three coats, and dry time was quite good, but it was prone to bubbling and dragging. 

And that's all I've got for today! Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful day!

Yeah, looks more like the surface of the moon than like moonshine. :( Too bad the glitter doesn't sparkle...it has so much potential!

LOL that is such a good description!
And yup, it did, although in some ways, I feel like it was doomed from day 1. I mean...a frosty metallic base and glitter almost always spells disaster. Maybe bigger glitter would have helped? What do you think? :S
yeah the texture of this guy turns me off ... and maybe the color too lol. Maybe you could franken it up :D

Ahahahah soo basically the whole thing.
And I was thinking about that, but I'm just going to sell it or trade it. It's fairly HTF and I'm sure there's at least one nail fanatic out there that would give it a loving home.
Aww, bummer this one turned out how it did. I hate when polishes are frosty/metallic with chunks of glitter in them, it never works! I like the name though!

LMAO I know right?!
Why don't polish companies learn? They keep on trying this combo, and it's like...stop trying to make this happen. It's never going to happen. -____-
I agree too, the name is great. n_n
