Today I have the rest of the OPI Holiday In Toyland collection for you. The OPI Holiday In Toyland collection contains 12 nail polishes - 6 of them are dark or neutral shades and the other 6 are variations of red. Today I have the red ones for you. All of these were flawless in application!
As I mentioned in a previous blog post, when I first started really getting into nail polish, I avoided reds like the plague. I thought that all reds were the same. Wrong! The more I get into collecting nail polish, the more red shades I acquire. There really is a huge variety when it comes to reds.
I have found that photos of red creams look extremely similar to each other when in real life they are really quite different. But I also found that if I swatch the colors next to each other, on the same hand, you can see the difference in the colors better; so that is what I did with the red creams in this collection.
As always, you can click the pictures to enlarge them. It is really fun to enlarge them to see all of the detail in the shimmer and sparkles!

The first picture is in the sun and the second picture is indoors but under natural lighting.
OPI Little Red Wagon is a great, deep, blue toned red cream.
OPI Red Hot Gift is a medium, blue toned red.
OPI Girls Just Want To Play is in my opinion, a very summery, almost coral red. I will definitely sport this one on my toes in the summer.
And now on to the shimmery and sparkly reds...
OPI Rosy Mistletoe-Sies:
OPI always has the cutest names! Love this one. This is a very shimmery, magenta toned red. The shimmer in this one looks a bit on the gold side.
OPI A Ruby for Rudolph:
Medium toned red shimmer with sparsely placed glitter. So gorgeous!
OPI Don't Toy With Me!:
Dark magenta-ish red with red, silver and hot pink shimmer/glitter. I say shimmer/glitter because it is both shimmery and glittery. Absolutely freaking gorgeous! I wore this one as a NOTD and got so many compliments from random strangers. I love when that happens.
I am so impressed with the reds in this collection. Way to go OPI!
That is all for today, until we meet again!
