OPI Pirates of the Carribean 4 Collection and Swatches!

So I am back, with blogger having a hissyfit I was forced to take a weeks break which honestly came at the best time as I have been absolutely swamped at work and have not had time to blog so I apologise for my absence.

I made mention when I first heard the wonderful news about the newest of the OPI collections, Pirates of the Carribean 4. What may seem like a unusal partnership to me when you view these amazing colours it really seems like a match made in creamy pastel coloured heaven. I knew when they came out I was going to have to make some purchases. As much as I wanted to purchase each and every one, when they cost $19.95 a pop that becomes quite the expensive purchase, what is great is the mini collections they have released which enable us common folk to indulge in this collection without breaking the bank.

For me to buy the 4 appove in this mini pack was $24.95 I figure it is like a good tester, sample pack and if I try one and particularily like it I can buy more. 

Here are the different swatches:

The first colour to be tried was Skull and Glossbones which I really loved. This colour reminds me of a very grown up grey which ties in wonderfully with Winter. 

The second colour is called Planks a Lot, I think this is my favourite, readers of my blog will know just how much I adore anything purple, and this colour is no exception. For me to describe this colour I would call it a creamy purple almost lilac and lavender which wears really well. 

Thirdly is a interesting colour called Stranger Tides to me this is like a guacomole colour, a little army green but with not quite so much brown in it. This to me is a really trendy colour which works well with demin and black boots, that sort of thing, gorgeous!

 Lastly, I tried Sparrow Me the Drama again with the amazing play on words as only OPI does best, this colour I ended up having to photograph with my iphone to try get a try representation yes it is a creamy pink but it really has a hint of violet in it which really makes it quite unique and a really grown up pink. Quite a nice change from other more girlie ballerina pinks. 


So that is it I am really happy with the options given in the mini pack and you will get a few uses out of each, enough to satisfy my desire to try these colours. 


What do you think? Do you have a favourite, have you tried any of these yourself?
