Though it has been 50 years since Ian Fleming put pen to
paper and created the James Bond character, I am yet to see a full Bond film.
Considering that my minor for my undergraduate course was cinema, I am quite
surprised at that fact (in fact, there
are a lot of films I should have seen by now…) When OPI reached out
to me about trying some of the new Liquid Sand polishes based around the female
characters in the Bond films, my interest was piqued. Of the 3 bottles I
received, the medium blue glitter filled Tiffany Case* was the most
surprising to me.
Seemingly taking inspiration from the namesake of this shade
(the 1971 film Diamonds are Forever in which Tiffany Case stars)
this amazing blue is filled with a pretty glitter, which really adds a depth
to it that it just captivates me once it is atop my nails. I use a single coat
when I wear the Liquid Sand formula as they are so opaque, though I am
interested in trying out a top coat with it to see how it reacts with the
formula. They are so easy to remove as well, which means I reach for them quite
a bit! Purely because I was feeling creative during a study break I decided to
play around with my Konad stamping for an accent nail, and using Sally Hansen Pacific
Blue over Australis Kick The Bucket*. I don’t like the look
of an accent nail with the liquid sands, so it isn’t something I would do
again.
What do you think of Tiffany Case?
Which of the Bond films are your top pick?
Is there a classic movie you haven’t seen yet even though
you know you should’ve?
You can buy OPI Bond Girls from Adore Beauty, David Jones,
Myer + other retailers.
*This polish was a PR sample. Honesty, always.
