OPI My Private Jet

Today is turning out to be such an amazing day...not only have I passed 50 followers (THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to infinity and beyond, etc., and so forth!), but OPI Mad as a Hatter and Absolutely Alice arrived in the mail! These two polishes were my biggest lemmings until I ordered them from an etailer via Amazon, and then I just had to wait for them to arrive at my house, which they now have, and I love them:


SO PRETTY! These pictures do not do them justice at all. *weeps tears of joy* Okay, maybe that's a bit much, but I am so glad to finally have these in my possession, and I can't wait to wear them!

Today I decided to try OPI My Private Jet, which I purchased at Ulta yesterday. While it's not the old, more holo-y color, I'm completely okay with that. The new My Private Jet (at least my bottle) is charcoal grey with a bronze flash and holo glitter, and I am in love with it. My Private Jet is what I wanted from the Charlotte Russe charcoal holo, and yet it is so much more. Enough of my blathering, take a look:

inside, with flash
inside, with flash
outside, in shade
outside, in sun
outside, in sun

All of these pictures are surprisingly accurate. When out of direct light, My Private Jet looks like a charcoal grey with flecks of silver and an occasional flash of bronze. Under a lightbulb or in the sun, though, it becomes absolutely brilliant. None of the pictures really show the polish to be as holographic as it actually is, and they also make it seem like it's straight charcoal on the nail. The bronze that is visible in the bottle shots is actually very visible in real life as well, both in and out of sunlight.

My Private Jet also had very good coverage. Surprisingly, I could have gotten away with one coat, but I added a second to maximize the holo impact. I really, really love My Private Jet, and while I can't wait to try Mad as a Hatter and Absolutely Alice, I will still be a little sorry to take this off.

  3. Your MPJ looks pretty good, I've seen some that have a CRAZY holo effect and others that have no holo at all. Yours seems to be in the middle.

  6. Your nails looks gorgeous....I love. It reminds me of polish I used to borrow from my mom when I was little.....I think my mom bought it in the 70's LOL....
    Hey I want my private jet too. LOL

    What color of outfit would you wear with it??? Stupid question maybe? Whatever..you know me...LOL But I always think what would I wear with different nail polish colors.

    Hope you're having a wonderful TGIF!

  7. Aurora- Thanks!

    Martje- You should; I think it's fabulous!

    Janna- I might not have if I hadn't seen it on other blogs, but I'm so glad I didn't pass it by!

    Serena- There does seem to be a lot of variation...I wonder why that is. Anyway, I'm glad mine wasn't completely lacking in holo.

    peripatetic33- Thank you! It's just one of the layouts that comes with Blogger. :)

    Zabrinah- Thanks! I was actually quite pleased with my pictures this time, at least in comparison to my other posts. :)

    Inga- Thanks! Haha. Today I wore a purple top and jeans...lazy day. I think it would go with just about anything, though. I did in fact have a wonderful Friday, and I hope you did too!

  12. Lacquer Ware for Tips and Toes- Ooh, that would be a good idea! I actually do have an empty bottle laying around...

    Sabrina- You are already on my blogroll, but I will mention you in my next post! Maybe I should start a weekly "new blog" post.

    Miss Bun- I'm trying to grow them a little bit (just to or just past the ends of my fingers), but I do like them short. However, they chip and peel a lot, so I couldn't grow them out really long even if I wanted to!

    Tasha- Thanks!

  13. Ooh, love it! Definitely the most interesting holo bronze out there. Something about it seems very chic and timeless to me.
