Nails Inc Bedford Square

I got this polish a while back and have been looking for an opportunity to try it out. I've seen pics of it on its own and as a top coat. I am not a big fan of gold nails, so it was my intention to try it as a topcoat.
Bedford Square is a very fine mix of gold & holographic glitter, perhaps a little like Electric Lane is silver & holographic.
It struck me as I was gazing at my nails with my previous manicure that it would be fun to see what Bedford Square looked like over OPI What Wizardry Is This?, reviewed here.
I like the darker backround that the OPI gives this and I took a couple of pics with no top coat, this is just one coat of Bedford Square.

I then took a few pics with a top coat. The texture is still there, I think it would take a few coats for it to be completely smooth. This first pic hints at the holo glitter, which even in the dusk as I am typing this is very clear to me, but in bright sunshine earlier my camera couldn't really see it - how annoying is that!

OPI What Wizardry Is This ?

This is another varnish from the collection inspired by the new Wizard of Oz film, Oz the Great and Powerful, made up of 3 glitters, 3 pale shades and one liquid sand. This is the liquid sand, What Wizardry Is This?
I have already tried 3 of the 4 OPI Mariah Carey liquid sands, reviewed, here here and here and it's safe to say I am completely in love with these polishes, love the texture and the look of them.
I have also reviewed 3 others from this Oz the Great and Powerful collection : When Monkeys Fly! Which is Witch? and Lights of Emerald City here, here and here.

What Wizardry Is This ? is more subtle than the Mariah Carey sands, but no less beautiful. It does not have large chunks of co-ordinating or contrasting glitter, but what it does have is a gorgeous matte, but shimmery finish in a taupe, bronze shade. Its quite hard to describe but it really does have that look of smooth wet sand on the beach just as a wave has washed back down.
It painted on beautifully, 2 coats gave great coverage and I love it!
And here are lots of pics, just because it's so beautiful.
