Today I am going to show you the polish I’ve paid the most for: OPI’s
Absolutely Alice. It’s the blue glitter from the Alice in Wonderland collection from spring 2010, a year and a half
before my polish addiction really started. By the time I got Alice on the radar, she was hard to find, but
fortunately not *very* hard to find.
I bought her in a blog sale in September 2012, and I paid US$25 for her.
I can’t quite remember what the shipping was, but I think it was around US$10.
I was so thrilled when she arrived. I remember I wrote “Alice is in da house” in a group on Facebook,
haha!
Anyway – Here’s what I did. Two coats of Alice on pinkie and pointer.
The gradient on the two other fingers are NailNation 3000 “White” and
Golden Rose #39. All three stamps are from Moyou London’s stamping plate Alice in Wonderland
collection-01. There is a layer of topcoat over it all.
Here are the three polishes I used:
I have one other polish that I paid the same for, and that’s China Glaze
DV8 from the OMG collection from January 2009. It’s a beautiful teal linear
holo, but I didn’t want to use that for this challenge, even though I actually
like it a little bit more than Absolutely Alice. Why? Because the sun is not
shining today, that’s why. And I only want to wear DV8 when the sun shines.
Let’s go check out what the other girls did. They usually do really cool
stuff!
LOL - I love this mani - it's both fun and pretty!
ReplyDeleteHehe, I must admit that I liked this a lot too, so thank you!! :)
DeleteThis OPI is really interesting! Very well done mani.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was so happy to snatch this OPI :)
DeleteI love this, a gorgeous blue glitter and the stamping is so fun and cool. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, that's nice to hear :)
DeleteAlice is absolutely worth every cent!
ReplyDeleteI agree!! She's so pretty!
DeleteLove it!!
ReplyDeleteMe too! :)
DeleteVery beautiful glitter! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a you-colour as well :)
DeleteLove it....so much fun!!
ReplyDeleteMission accomplished then :)
DeleteGreat mani. I do like this one, I can't remember what I paid for mine! It looks great on you :-D
ReplyDeleteI got DV8 at a good price, eventually. But I had to pay a lot for IDK, but I REALLY wanted it. I've seen it go cheaper now! My husband thought I was a mug for paying so much for it. But I really NEEDED it! I'm glad I've got it and totally love it :-D
Thank you!
DeleteI don't have IDK and I'm not sure I'm willing to pay however much it costs now! It is super pretty though :D
I have a mini of Alice, bought in 2010! I also have a mini of Mad as a Hatter and two reds that came with that mini pack... Love them all :D
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with the manicure!
It's so cool to have that rare gem in the collection. :)
DeleteThank you so much! <3
Love it :) Alice is so beautiful, can't stop looking at it <3
ReplyDeleteShe's amazing, that's for sure. I gazed at my nails too :)
DeleteLovely manicure! I bought my bottle from Amazon for $28USD and shipping was free because I shipped it to the states to a family friend, who then gave it to me when visiting.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteThat was a clever move with the shipping. Shipping to here is usually ridiculous, but you kind of get used to it if you want the pretties enough.
Gorgeous mani and Alice is so beautiful. Worth the hunt x
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, it was definitely worth the hunt :) x
DeleteThank you :)
