OPI New York Ballet collection swatches



Don't Touch My Tutu!:

Barre My Soul:

You Callin' Me A Lyre?:

Care to Danse?:

My Pointe Exactly:

Pirouette My Whistle over My Pointe Exactly: 

So these are the swatches of the New York Ballet collection. I felt a little silly doing the swatches because the polishes are so sheer and almost look alike. For each polish I used 3-4 coats to show more of the color. The difference between the colors are very subtle, but I still like them. I like using sheer polishes if I'm not in the mood for too much color, but still want my nails to look  somewhat nice. I hope you all have a wonderful week and hope all you mothers out there had a wonderful mother's day yesterday!

    1. lol I hate when this happens! I always tell myself I'm good with polish and then a collection comes out, or a color that I see and like makes me buy it! :/ They are pretty though hehe

  4. They look so pretty on you! I just can't get into sheers, I don't think they look good on me. I do love the glitter though!

    1. Aw thank, Meredith! Really? I'd love to see a picture with you wearing sheer polish :) Yea, the glitter is really nice!

  5. Even though they're sheer I still like them, they give a really nice tint to your nails.
    Do you think the color would show up better over white?
    Great swatches, I like the type of glitter effect the last one has.

    1. That's true :) I like these when I don't know what to do with my nails. That's a great idea! I should see what they look like with a white base...The color would probably show up more huh? :) I also like the glitter effect that it has hehe

  7. You have amazing swatches and photos! I love the glitter I got to use mine soon!!!
    and also I think the sheers may be useful to make jelly sandwich I so want the grey just because your it looks like it would be perfect to top Zoya Dove and have some awesome glitter in between!

    1. I know, right?? When I was posting them I had to remember which picture was which because they look so alike haha

    1. They really are! It's great to have if you want a natural looking nail :D

  14. Yea they all almost look identical, but have a slight difference in color if you really look. I only bought My Pointe Exactly because it was grayish and since I don't have many sheer polishes it would be good to have for jelly sandwiches plus just like you said, something to make my nails look nice and polished if I don't want to wear a real color.

  18. I like sheer polishes too especially the ones like these. I mean I love buying bright and bold nail polishes but I think do it just to buy them. If anything I'm usually seen in these sheer pink-ish nail color. Thanks for the swatches, Traci!

  19. Great swatches! They all look very pretty but I agree with you about them looking a bit similar. I've wanted to pick one or two up but every time I look at the display the similarities make me unable to choose ):
