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.

OPI When Monkeys Fly!

Well, lots of chatter about this one : OPI When Monkeys Fly!.
This is part of the new 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.
When Monkeys Fly! is made of up large gold hexes, smaller silver hexes and holographic glitter. The issue that has concerned many is that the gold hexes are curling, rather than laying flat on the nail. Certainly in the bottle they look very curly, but having read a number of reviews I took extra care to turn most of them over so that they curled downward, and then I added 2 coats of topcoat. On some nails I could still see and feel that the glitter was not flat so I added a couple of layers more of topcoat so now they all feel smooth.
This is a super sparkly combination which is truly beautiful. Having read the reviews I was quite nervous but I love it, despite the hard work to get it right.
It's shown here over A England Jane Eyre, a shimmering blackened red.
