The packaging is like a white and lilac
fashion book and it has a beauty advent calendar vibe. It is a sort of
alternative to a beauty calendar. There are five rows with five shades covering
two sides of the book. You can open the windows that cover the shades, but it
will reveal all five shades, which is why it doesn’t quite pass as a calendar.
Plus, you can’t actually take the bottles out like you would a beauty/chocolate
calendar. You have to open the sides of the book and pull out the five separate
plastic trays which hold the bottles. There seems to be a lot of wasted
packaging this way.
You get twenty-five 3.75ml bottles of
Nail Lacquer and the set contains new shades from the Breakfast at Tiffany’s
Collection, and some old favourites already part of the main shade selection. I
have decided to show swatches on a nail display because my nails are not in
great shape at the moment.

Overall this is a great set as you get
so many beautiful shades to try out and the packaging is so lovely and
enticing. My favourite shades are; Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Five-and-Ten, Rich
& Brazilian and Fire Escape Rendezvous (my overall favourite) and I have
already re-purchased them in full size bottles. I am mostly drawn to the left
side of the book because that is where the reds and warm shades are, but some
of the cooler shades from the right side do appeal to me too. I hope O.P.I come
out with more of these sets in the future.
