OPI - Metallic 4 Life




I know it's technically spring now... but some days it still feels like winter here! So I figured I would post this leftover "fall/winter" swatch before it gets warm. I actually think this polish would be appropriate for a fun summer night out! From the comments in my last "fall/winter" swatch in spring you girls wear whatever you want anyway!

This is 3 coats of Metallic 4 Life. A black jelly base loaded with silver glitter. This is honestly the most impossible to remove glitter EVER. The glitter just becomes cemented to your nails. I'm not even joking. Even the foil method doesn't work very well on this one. I think I ended up prying off the glitters with an orange stick when I first wore it. Luckily now I know about the PVA glue / Elmer's glue peel off base coat method! No more need to scrub or avoid glitters!

I love the way this one looks! Perfect for a party! I just love the way this kind of ends up looking like a darker silver from far away :)



What do you think of this polish?

  1. I agree that this polish would be perfect to wear on a night out. I like it but not a color I would wear a lot. I really need to make my own DIY glue peel off base. I've heard how great it is to remove glitter but I need to actually go buy some glue and get a empty nail polish bottle to use to make it, lol.

    1. Ya I haven't worn it a lot either. This is only my second time wearing it... I didn't want to wear it anymore after it was sooo hard to remove but luckily I heard about the peel off base! I think this polish is better for an accent nail it is a bit much for a full mani unless that's what you're going for :) the glue base is pretty easy to make... 90% glue 10% water and just stick a toothpick or cuticle stick in the bottle to stir! I'm sure you have an empty topcoat bottle kicking around somewhere
