OPI The Amazing Spider-Man Collection Swatches & Review

I've really been into the OPI collaborations lately and I'm pretty much sold on anything Marvel so it's absolutely no surprise that I was super excited about the Amazing Spider-Man collection!




The OPI Amazing Spider-Man collection include 6 shades as well as a shatter coat :
Your Web or Mine? The perfect pink for sticky situations.
Into the Night This perfect midnight blue was made for prowling.
Call Me Gwen-ever Girlfriend, be sure to pick up when this urgent coral calls.
Just Spotted the Lizard Be seen in this reptilian yellow-green
My Boyfriend Scales Walls Climb new heights with this cityscape white
Number One Nemesis Show your metal in this sparkling nickel.
Shatter the Scales Deep green shimmer Shatter coat inspired by graffiti art

Today I have all but 2 to share with you girls.



Into the Night is a dark blue shimmer leaning purple that is almost metallic. Formula was a bit on the thin side and I used 3 coats (no topcoat) in the swatches below.






Call Me Gwen-ever is a beautiful orange creme with a touch of dustiness. It's muted and very different from the other oranges released lately. Formula was very nice, 2 coats plus topcoat here.






Just Spotted the Lizard is an antique gold to green duochrome shimmer. Pretty much a Chanel Peridot dupe for a much more reasonable price. Love it! 2 coats here.






Number One Nemesis is very difficult to describe. Overall grey with touches of gold, almost pewter looking. Depending on the lighting it will appear warm or cool toned, I've even seen hints of olive green. My favorite from this collection or should I say a "love at first stroke" polish LOL. This is 2 coats plus topcoat.






Shatter the Scales is a dark green shimmer with little silver particles. It dries to a matte finish and definitely cracks very nicely but I'm not so sure about it. I think it would rock over a dark green jelly.

Overall :
I ended up loving a lot of shades from this collection Just Spotted the Lizard rocks and Call Me Gwen-ever is gorgeous but if you only had to pick one it would have to be, without a single doubt, My Number One Nemesis. A must have in my honest opinion. I think it might very well have entered my VIP (Very Important Polish) list ;-)

  8. I am not really thrilled by this collection. The colors are nice but none of those is a must-have for me. My favorites would be Into The Night and Number One Nemesis though.

  14. At first I didn't think I really needed Number One Nemesis, since I have Graphite, but I do see a lot more green in it. Love it, too! And I wasn't that excited about another shatter, but every time I see Shatter the Scales over JStL, I want it a little bit more. ;)
