OPI Holiday 2018 | Lavendare to Find Courage:
This is a soft pastel orchid. The formulation is nicely pigmented but I needed a third coat on a few nails to ensure a completely even and opaque finish.

OPI Holiday 2018 | Dreams Need Clara-fication:
The hero shade of the Nutcracker Collection, Dreams Need Clara-fication is a beautiful baby blue. The formulation is similar to that of Lavendare to Find Courage; it's not too sheer but I needed three coats to ensure the perfect coverage.

OPI Holiday 2018 | Envy the Adventure:

OPI Holiday 2018 | Tinker, Thinker, Winker?:
This is a silver holographic glitter. The glitters are sparsely scattered but two coats provide a pretty even coverage so the polish can be worn on its own. The linear holographic effect is subtle; it's hardly noticeable unless viewed under direct sunlight.
