Anyway back to polish. Today I've got OPI Moonraker, which is from the 2012 Winter James Bond collection. It didn't receive the best reviews and has had a bad reputation for its inconsistent streaky frost finish. OPI Moonraker is a frosty pale blue that is reminiscent of a pale full moon. Application and formula wise, it's very thin and has a tendency to bulk up on non-flat coats. Moonranker finishes fairly streaky and frosty, but as it dries, it looks a little a smidge more even. Still not the best. Do you have flaws on your nails? Well, if you don't know if you do or not, Moonraker will reveal all. Here's OPI Moonraker in two and a half coats:
I hate the obvious dent on my index finger so I put a little bit of OPI Servin' Up Sparkle as a slight gradient:
I still didn't like it.
OPI Moonraker isn't the best polish. I think it's pretty bad considering OPI is viewed at as a high quality polish and that's not what I got from Moonraker. I think that's where the hate train came from.
Do you think Moonraker lived up to its bad reputation? Did any of you experience the streaky frost finish? Are there areny *good* frost finishes? Seems like it's a hard thing to accomplish these days.
Yikes, that is pretty awful. I honestly don't think I've ever come across a frost that I've ever actually loved. :/
ReplyDeleteIt was ridiculously terrible. It makes me wonder if OPI tests their polishes sometimes. Like with When Monkeys Fly! Oh jeeez.
DeleteUsually when you say you don't like how a nail art turned out, I disagree and still think it looks nice, but here I have to agree with you. This does not look too good :-(
ReplyDeleteSad to say! I hated it but out with the trash and onto the next! :D ;)
DeleteWell, not quite my favorite but the glitter does make it look a little better :)
ReplyDeleteLet me distract you from the awful polish with SPARKLY GLITTER! mwahaha!
DeleteWow that really highlights every little detail doesn't it?! I've never been a big fan of metallics, and this is probably why. The glitters do distract away from that though.
ReplyDeleteI really like Bloglovin, it works great! It really helps to keep up to date on all the latest posts, especially for blogs that are not on blogger that you can't add through GFC. I just have them all there so it's a one-stop-spot for all my blog readin'.
Yeah man, I didn't think my index nail was THAT bad until I wore this polish. Doesn't seem to show for any other polish I wear!
DeleteI am trying to get the hand of Pinterest too - it's so weird! I figure I should use it as an anon photo inspiration board while I am at it, hehehe. :D
