Sometimes I get nostalgic about brands or polishes that are no longer around, so when I was riffling through my melmers, I started going through my Sephora by OPI Collection. I remember when everyone was going bananas for Metro Chic way back in 2008/2009. At that time, I wasn’t really into nail polish but I remember trying to pick it up at Sephora, but it was constantly out of stock. I became so annoyed with this that I ended up not getting it until a few years later. Once I really got into nail polish around 2010, I started collecting polishes from this line. I always felt that the quality of this line was really good (duh! OPI), so I was sad to see it discontinued. I don’t know about you, but I haven’t been that obsessed with the Formula X polishes that Sephora put out. I mean, they are good quality but they haven’t caught my attention much, but I’ll still purchase a bottle here and there. I decided to use one of my favorite shades from the discontinued line for today’s The Lacquer Ring post which centers around holographic blue.
Sephora by OPI Slushied is a gorgeous shade that was part of the Glee Collection. The formula on it is a little thin so I had to appy 3 coats for full opacity. If you want this same color with a more opaque formula, you can try OPI Roadhouse Blues.
For the holographic part of the prompt, I used some large chevron vinyls to outline the design with Layla Ocean Rush. I don’t know about you, but Layla holo polishes don’t last on me at all unless I put them over a base color like this.
So what do you think about this mani? I think it’s pretty simple, but I really like the way it turned out. I hope your week is going well and yay for it almost being the weekend again!! Thanks so much for the visit, and I will catch up with you soon.

I actually don’t own any Sephora by OPI. Crazy, right? Haha. I agree with you on Formula X, though…they’re alright.
I have one Layla and I do feel it needs to be applied over another color, mainly for opacity. I was disappointed because of the price of it, haha. I think back when those were huge there maybe weren’t as many holo options?
These came out really pretty. They’re just soothing/enjoyable to look at, haha.
What? Are you serious? How can you not have any SOPI??????? I’m like seriously shocked right now.
That’s a gorgeous shade of blue, the holo matches perfectly. Sometimes the more simple the nail art the more striking it is, I love this!
Thank you so much, Dani!
dang~ i love that blue

These two blues complement each other perfectly! I love the contrast.

I don’t know why I didn’t buy the whole Glee Collection when I had the chance. I was a pretty big fan of the show when it first started.
Just so pretty!

Thank you! I love blue polish in ever finish.
I own Slushied and just applied it out of the crusty bottle, marveling again at the color and wondering sadly how I would replace it. Thanks for this post!
