Today's post is a well known color by OPI called Absolutely Alice. I was lucky enough to have the chance to buy this from a gal who found a few while "dusty hunting." I didn't realize just how beautiful it was until I saw the bottle in person..
OPI Absolutely Alice:
Absolutely Alice has a zillion pieces of blue glitter in a clear base with a few specks of beautiful golden glitter scattered about. It's such a stunningly pretty blue! Although it's quite grainy, AA was fairly easy to work with. Pictured above is three coats of AA, followed by a thick coat of Gelous, then a coat of Poshe topcoat... A classic beauty!!
Speaking of OPI-- I'm really looking forward to The Holland Collection that's due to be released Feb. 8th!!
Hope you're having a great week!! :)
i live for this color.
ReplyDeletei love blue glitter :]
ReplyDeleteYou made me want to try mine! I got mine at a dusty too :)
ReplyDeleteLove this :))
ReplyDeleteHi .. I wondering ..what is Gelous and how do you use it? Can you tell me about it please? Also I love this color..can you still get it at places and if so where..? Thannk you
ReplyDeleteHi Kriss..Gelous is a basecoat you can buy at Sally's and you use it over really gritty glitters to smooth them out some. Absolutely Alice is a discontinued color, so it's really hard to find. You might try looking on eBay. :)
DeleteThank you Jodi... So is Gelous the brand or if not what is the brand? You say its a base coat ...but said you apply over gritty glitters... so it could be used as a topcoat then?
DeleteYes, Gelous is the brand. It can be used as a base coat on naked nails, or as a "glitter tamer" on top of grainy glitters. After you apply the Gelous on Absolutely Alice, let it dry, then apply your favorite topcoat (mine is Poshe) :)
DeleteThank you Jodi.... I appreciate the help. :) I will check it out at Sallys this weekend then :)
DeleteYou're welcome.. good luck!! :)
DeleteThis is gorgeous. Do you think it's similar to OPI Simmer and Shimmer?
ReplyDeleteHi Rachael, I don't have Simmer and Shimmer, but from the swatches I've seen Simmer and Shimmer is a paler blue with multi-colored glitter.. :)
