I do love a bit of trashy TV, and 90210 is no exception. There’s a stat I read somewhere that in times of recession, viewers actually want to watch stuff featuring glitz, glam, and people generally living fabulous, care-free, flamboyant lives. In fact, (Beverly Hills) 90210 was popular during the recession of the early 90s so it’s no great shocker that it’s doing the same thing about 15 years on.
Any way. 
This is part of OPI’s 2009 Valentine’s Collection – a limited edition release based on the new 90210 series. It comprises of a red, an orange (neither of which I bothered with)and this one.
I saw the name before I saw the show, and basically it is named for the character Silver, who writes a salacious blog (hence “web”). A bit of a crap name to be honest. Although Silver in the show has just gone totally nuts, got her boyfriend’s name tattoed on her, filmed them having sex and screened it to the whole of her class. Just another average schoolday, right?
So here it is. I am convinced I have a different version of this to other bloggers. Pics I have seen show it to be a shimmery purple colour and I’ve noted several application issues. Complete the reverse for me. It was far more red/coppery than purple, and was totally opaque in two coats. No application worries whatsoever, in fact, it was one of the best OPIs I’ve ever used.
Here it is in natural light. Just a nice, plain maroon type colour – nothing remarkable but quite pretty. I like the gleam on it, but how much can be attributed to Seche Vite I’m not sure.
In the bottle, this has swirls of orange and gold but you can’t really see this in the natural indoor light. 
Here it is in artificial light – kind of a different story.
You can see the flecks of microglitter here and it lights up a lot more. Here’s a close-up.
Far more exciting and look at those flecks of orange and blue! Wow.
So, all in all, a nice colour. Work appropriate and interesting enough to make me smile but only under artificial light. Would make a nice pedicure, I think.
But would it get you noticed on Rodeo Drive? Probably not.
I just couldn’t get into the new 90210 – but I would never miss an epidsode of the old one!
I am a trash tv queen!! The trashier the better – but i usually tend to like trashy reality tv, it seems to bring out the best in people, lmao!
The color looks really nice on you!
Just curious, with those talons of yours, are you able to paint one full coat on your nails before reloading the brush with more?
When I was 12, I thought I was going to grow up to marry Jason Priestley. Luke Perry just never did it for me.
Shannon Doherty is in the new one and if anyone can tell me what is up with her teeth I will be eternally grateful.
I can do about 2/3 of a nail so I need to work fast, even with a pro-wide brush, to prevent streaking and blobs. It all evens out in the end though usually.
“There’s a stat I read somewhere that in times of recession, viewers actually want to watch stuff featuring glitz, glam, and people generally living fabulous, care-free, flamboyant lives.”
That explains my current guilty pleasure, Gossip Girl…the books AND the TV show.
I like that, especially the little bursts of color! I’ve not seen or heard of this one before.
I picked this one up awhile ago but haven’t tried it yet, I hope I got a good bottle! This looks great on you. I wonder what this would be like in lots of bright sunshine? ( I didn’t bother to get the other 2 colors either)
I watched the first series of Gossip Girl but somehow missed the second – it was great though!
It’s LE but I’m sure you could pick a bottle up somewhere – it’s nice but I wouldn’t go on a mission for it.
Kitty, let me know when you try it out as it would be interesting to see a comparison.
The sun came out for about 15 seconds when I was walking to the office from the car and it did ping a bit so those of you lucky to live in sunnier places might have more joy with this one.
I was a 90210 watcher and I also loved Jason Priestly. Those eyes and that hair! Loved the show but I don’t watch the new one. I saw the polishes and I believe they charged more because of the show tie-in. So I skipped them since I didn’t think they were anything special. It is a pretty shade though. Looks gorgeous on those nails of yours. Just once I’d love to experience having nails that long.
ahhhh Jason Priestley. I was devastated when I heard about his racing accident a few years ago.
The new show is nowhere near as good as the old one but it gives me a chance to get a trashy tv fix as it is on when the boyfriend plays football on a Monday night.
Nail Envy is the only way, I swear!!
