West Virginia Fashion: Katy Perry for OPI Swatches and Review

As I had mentioned previously, I bought the Katy Perry for OPI miniset this past weekend. Unfortunately, I was unable to get my hands on a bottle of the Shatter polish to go along with these, but I've got it coming in sometime next week. I took the Katy Perry colors on a test run for the past couple of days and here are the reviews and swatches:

: From left to right: The One That Got Away, Teenage Dream, Last Friday Night, and Not Like The Movies

The One That Got Away is a vibrant fuchsia that has a nice glass fleck shimmer to it. If you're not sure what glass flecked is, it's a term that describes a certain type of shimmer, in this case, it refers a tiny shimmer particle that has a soft sparkle to it. This was the color that really stood out to me in the set, and I almost bought the full-sized bottle. I'm glad I didn't, because while a pretty color, there was nothing about this polish that really stood out. I had two coats on my nail which easily gave me 100% opacity, but I think I might try it again with three coats to add some depth.
Grade: C

Teenage Dream is a massively glittery and sparkly soft pink polish. I put on two coats and thought it would make a good top coat, but I was able to an almost full opacity with about four coats. I didn't think I would really love this polish, but I adore it. It's very flattering to my skin tone, and would be great to dress up a simple outfit. The only downside to this polish if you want to opaque it is the fact that A) you need four coats per nail, meaning you'll be doing your nails for a hour and B) It also takes an hour to remove. I just spent 15 minutes trying to get this and the glittery blue polish off two nails.
Grade: A

Last Friday Night is the glittery blue sister to Teenage Dream. I really don't think it's the same formula as Teenage Dream, as Last Friday Night lacks a lot of the shimmer that the pink polish has, but seems to have more tint to the polish base. I wasn't very impressed with this polish. The ads show it as a soft electric blue (like Katy Perry's wigs) but I couldn't come close to getting that color on my nails. In the photo above, I have on 5 coats and the blue is still super soft. I don't even really think this would be a decent top coat for another blue polish.
Grade: F

Not Like the Movies is a silver shimmer with a hint of glass flecks. This polish is nice as it has some depth to it, similar to a Chanel polish. In certain types of light, the polish looks like it has pinkish/lavenderish tones to it, but in other lights, it looks like it has green tones. This is a pretty solid polish, and if you don't have a silver already in your collection, I highly recommend this one. The only reason I'm not 100% in love with this color is because it seemed to wash my skin tone out.
Grade: A-

When I get my Shatter polish in, I'll paint my nails like I did above, and take some photos. Overall, the collection is pretty good, but I think they could have been a bit more adventurous with the colors. Here's another swatch photo, this time I tried to get more of the details of the polish in it.
