OPI - DS Signature - swatch and review

Hey guys!
Let's get straight to this pretty post.

Look at the rainbow trying to escape the bottle. This is OPI DS - Signature.

Those of you who pay a lot of attention will notice that my nails are two very different lenghts in these photos.
I swatched this polish twice because I wasn't happy enough with the first photos!

DS Signature is one of the old, hard to find OPI Designer Series polishes.
It isn't quite as HTF or sought-after as DS Original, so you can get it for a bit better price on eBay usually.

But despite not being quite as sought-after as DS Original, it is just as holographic and lovely!

And lucky me, I didn't have to get it on eBay.
I swapped with the lovely Tara from Tough As Nails, and Twice As Pretty!
(Coincidentally it is also Tara's birthday today! Happy birthday!)
(Also she is giving away China Glaze Atlantis (+more) on her blog, which is one of my all-time faves! Go check it out!!)

So now I have 2 awesome, old, holo DS polishes. (Between you and me, soon there will be three.)

And I just love love love them. The holographic particles in the older OPIs are different from other holos, they're semi-scattered yet linear and they are so bright!

That last photo is color-accurate. It is a somewhat peachy shade of pink.
This takes three coats for full opacity and the best blingy holo effect.

I noticed something weird with this polish - as it dries, it gets MORE holo!
I did a comparison on my nails with this polish (which you will see soon) so 2 nails were painted and dry first.
And when I added the last 2 fingers to do my full swatch, the wet ones were not as holo! It was weird. So I had to wait a few minutes to let them all dry to holo perfection!


I have a busy night ahead of me - once I get off work I need to start making a list of everything I need for my trip, and then I need to start preparing my posts for while I am gone!
I have an idea for a series of posts while I'm gone and I hope I have enough time to complete it!
Have a lovely day everyone!
