OPI "Man With The Golden Gun" Swatch/mini review!!!

As Sydney and I have been posting lately, we could not wait to get our hands on this amazing polish put out with OPI's Skyfall collection in honor of 50 years of 007 and the new movie coming out soon.  We had a VERY difficult time getting at least one, but after signing up on multiple ordering lists through multiple beauty supply's we finally got one!  OPI is being really unfair and apparently only sent like literally one polish to the Pacific North West.  Sadly there are two of us and I could only find one bottle, I'm stuck with guilt every time I use it...But I can share pictures!!!  It's BEAUTIFUL!!!  It has a somewhat thin amount of REAL 18k gold flakes, because my mom is a licensed beautician she got it for half price at $15 when normally it is $30.  I'm not sure if OPI will eventually send more or what what's gonna happen but I sure hope that more dedicated OPI fans can eventually get there hands on this polish.  Well I took quite a few pictures so let's get started!!!

Zombie nails!!!

This design is definitely a right turn from my cute pumpkin post from earlier today but it looks really cool and creepy!!!

                          -Hannah

 Supplies:
-A base and top coat
-A nude/cream color (I used Seche's "Elegant")
-A grey (I used OPI's "French Quarter For Your Thoughts")
-A yellow (I used OPI's "Need Sunglasses?")
-A black (I used OPI's "Black Onyx")
-A matte topcoat (I used Essie's "Matte About You")
-A red (I used OPI's "The Thrill Of Brazil")
-A makeup sponge
-A toothpick or dotting tool

1.  Apply your base and top coat.
2.  Apply your nude/cream color and let dry.  make sure that it's opaque.
3.  Using the sponge, sponge on the grey then yellow polishes.  As you can see it's ok if the sponge leaves a few spots.
4.  Gradually working your way about 3/4 of the way up your nail, sponge on the black polish.
5.  Apply a matte top coat and allow to dry.
6.  Using the toothpick or dotting tool, paint on little blood drops coming from the end of the nail.
7.  For a creepy and dirty look to go all the way zombie, rub the ends of your fingers in dirt or something similar.  (I used some charcoal.)
