O.P.I Breakfast at Tiffany's Mini Mani Month Set

I heard that O.P.I would be releasing a Breakfast at Tiffany’s Collection and I was really interesting in trying some shades, so when I was browsing the O.P.I website and came across this set, I snapped it up straight away!
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.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s - pearl (shimmer)

Fire Escape Rendezvous - matte glittery ruby (shimmer)
I’m Not Really a Waitress - vivacious Chianti red (pearl)
Sunrise…Bedtime! - glittery dawn pink (glitter)
Can’t Read Without My Lipstick - creamy maroon (crème)
Rich & Brazilian - rich burgundy (shimmer)
Pompeii Purple - hot crimson with purple (pearl)
Miami Beet - racy red-violet (crème)
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.
