OPI Peanuts Collection - Swatches & Review

Hi guys! Are you excited to start off the week? The humid weather and constant rain make me want to just curl up under the cover. But of course I fought the urge, got up, and try to have a productive day.
My fully enabling bf came home with Chatters bag a week ago, filled with 4 OPI. I squealed a bit when I saw they were the Peanuts collection. I've been waiting to get these! This is  a small collection released for Halloween, consists of 2 cremes and 2 glitter toppers. After swatching them, I have mixed feelings about this collection. Let's see pics and my thoughts on these!

I used OPI top coat for all the swatches here.

Who Are You Calling Bossy?!? is a black crelly (creme & jelly), it's not too thin but runny enough that if I wasn't careful I could flood my cuticles. It is also still a little streaky. I needed 3 thin coats for this.

Good Grief!, the name of this polish is really fitting to how I felt when I put it on. Ok, maybe it's not *that* bad, but it's definitely not the best yellow creme I've tried. I also needed 3 thin coats for this.

To Be or Not To Beagle is a mix of blue, red, yellow, peach, pink, black hexes glitter and some black bar glitter in a clear base. I really like the colours mix in this, I can totally see all Peanuts characters in it. I layered it over Good Grief!, the glitter payoff is pretty great. I only used one 'dab & swipe' coat for this.

Where's My Blanket???, also a glitter topper in a clear base. This one only has a mix of yellow, peach, and black glitter. Great glitter payoff too, sometimes I even had a bit too much on the brush, as you can see it's a bit overloaded on my pinky. I layered it over OPI Sorry I'm Fizzy Today, reminds me Sally Brown's top.

So my overall thoughts are divided between how much I liked the glitters in this collection, I think OPI has improved in their glitter variety and formula. To Be or Not To Beagle is my favourite! Even with the bar glitter. On the other hand, I think they can do better with the cremes the put in this collection, instead of the obvious Charlie Brown shades. 
Do you have this collection? Which one(s) is your must have? :)

In Canada, this collection can be purchased from your local Chatters Salon (for BC ladies), or from Nail Polish Canada.

  3. Gorgeous swatches. Im sad to say that this collection does nothing for me though. I agree OPI is getting better with their glitter polishes.

  4. Usually I can pick out at least one color I like from a collection but this one really underwhelmed me! The yellow looks nice but with the tricky formula, meh. Great swatches, though!

  8. Well if these aren't Peanut perfect polishes I don't know what is! I love that black! I can see how the yellow would be tricky but I think it looks nice. Especially if you consider what inspired the collection. Lovely swatches!
