I am writing this by the magic of scheduled posting (it only took me six months to suss out how to do this!) as when you read this, I’ll be happily attending the Illamasqua Autumn/Winter product launch. So exciting!
This is one heck of a Precioussss Slink polish. I think it is by far the best of the OPI Designer Series – or at least the ones I own, I’m still desperate to get my hands on Royal!
Brooke really came to my rescue here as I’d wanted Extravagance for a long time, but was really resenting the extortionate prices it was going for on Ebay. She kindly sent this to me
as part of the swap we did recently, and I am over the moon as it is every bit as wonderful as I’d hoped it would be.
Although this is a super-smooth polish, it has larger chunks of shimmer than the other DS polishes. I like this as it’s not subtle – it really fizzes and pings.
However, I am cursing the crappy weather we’ve had today (not to mention the fact it now gets dark by 8pm) as I haven’t been able to capture this in all its glory sadly.
Even when the sun isn’t shining on it, this looks like a gorgeous jewel toned polish packed with silver, pink and orange particles.
Application was great, as this is marvellously opaque. I did two coats and
left it to dry. Like all holo polishes, it dried incredibly fast with no speedy top coat or drops required at all.
It is so beautiful, I just wish my photos were better. I think I’m going to wear this for a few days, which is practically unheard of for me. Thankyou again Brooke – we lovesssss it, precioussss!

I’m doing the nail slink with you 🙂
Hello, you have the most fabulously wonderful site here and I had to leave this comment for you ! Your posts are beautifully written, creative and original too, and you have interesting pictures.
It’s all perfect !
Thank you for sharing your site and best wishes…. ‘Happy September’….
Dammit. I totally love it, but then read about how hard it is to get….
I think you should put a warning on the top of your posts, perhaps a ‘rareness’ rating, so I can decide whether I’m going to adore a colour or not!
Mmmmm not sold on this one….I find that I am increasingly disenchanted with glittery polish, perhaps its a seasonal thing, I’m not sure!
Hope the launch went well perfect excuse for a few wee purchases eh?!
I think I’ll be doing the slink with you. I love the DS series. I want them all but many are discontinued. Your nails looks gorgeous. I hope your having a good time tonight. Darn I wish we we’re there with you.
Oh have fun! /this DS is so pretty! I don’t own this one, I will keep my eye out for that Royal for you!
Usually I am a glitter shiny magpie but that one just isn’t grabbing me
I’m wearing this one right now, it doesn’t look nearly as pink on me as it looks in your pictures, it’s really quite purple. I think, with Vintage, this is my favourite OPI DS too…
