I am loving the OPI Burlesque Collection. As I've said before, I don't think there is a single dud in the bunch. This one is by far my favorite of the glitter polishes.

I applied 2 coats of Sparkle-icious over 1 coat of white in hopes that it would make it easier to remove and also because I am lazy and that is what I was already wearing. Please excuse the random glitter bits on my fingers, I'm sure anyone who has ever worn a glitter polish knows it is pretty much unavoidable.

It didn't make it easier btw. It was hell. Well, I didn't actually do the removing. I went into a spa to get my nails tidied up and the girl who was removing it made it very clear to me that she was not impressed with me - at all. I have never felt so uncomfortable having my nails done. She was carrying on (very loudly) about how horrible it was to the manicurist next to me, who kept looking at me and apologising on my manicurists behalf. She was scrubbing at the glitter so damn hard that my fingers felt raw and I have never had someone so hostile towards me sitting so close. It was awkward and it is safe to say I will never be returning to such an unprofessional place - which is ironically names Professio-nail. (The one at Chermside for anyone who is interested.)

Onto the actual polish itself, it was opaque in two coats and I can see yellow, blue and pink glitter in there from my macro shot. A stunning polish, I just could not stop staring at my sparkly, sparkly nails.

If you use the glitter method of removal that involves soaking cotton wool in remover and wrapping around the nail and letting it sit for a few minutes, I don't see any major issues getting it of. As a side note, don't attempt to suggest this to snotty manicurists. They don't like suggestions on how their life (and mine) could be easier.

Your thoughts? Who has this polish? Do you love it as much as I do? How hard did you find it to get off?
