Pocket Money Polishes All I Want For Xmas

Continuing with the untried polishes beginning with A, I have topped my last mani, OPI All A-Bordeaux The Sled with Pocket Money Polishes All I Want For Xmas.
All I Want for Xmas is one of four polishes in the set Santa Babies - Special Christmas Collection. It contains White Christmas, Silent Night, All I Want for Christmas and Jingle Bell Rock and there is a quick swatch of them all at the end of this post, over Black Taxi.
I expect if I had chosen the base to wear under this I wouldn't have worn it over the dark red OPI, I might well have gone for Black Taxi or something contrasting like a blue or green, but I think this combo works quite well. This polish is made up of purple and gold hexes, small purple hexes and large pink hexes that change colour as they catch the light. That pink I think looks lovely against the dark red and this is so super sparkly - this would be a great party glitter - a real knockout!
We had a bit of sunshine today, so I got some outside pics but I think the purple gloves confuse my camera.
You'll have to excuse the ravaged cuticle on the index finger, where I tried to tidy up from yesterdays mani, just a little too roughly I think!

OPI All A-Bordeaux The Sled

This week I am continuing to use untried polishes only, but we are also having a Polish Alphabet week in All Things Nails so I am using untrieds beginning with A. This was quite an easy choice as I only had 1 old untried creme polish beginning with A. OPI All A-Bordeaux The Sled is a dark red creme which I have to say surprised me a bit. Swatches I have seen looked a bit brownish, other blogs suggested it was brown and it looks brown in the bottle, but as far as I can see this is deep dark burgundy or Bordeaux as the name would suggest!
It has a beautiful glossy finish but as with many OPI polishes it did take 3 coats to reach full opacity. The one I have is a mini but I have many other dark reds, like Nails Inc Victoria  and I am sure it is very similar.
A lovely classic polish for the colder months.
