Packaging: The bottles are the same as a full sized OPI polish. Smell/Taste: Nail polish. Colour: I Manicure For Beads - mid tone purple creme. Rich Girls & Po Boys - china blue creme. Available in 12 shades. Formula/ Texture: These shades are perfect for a pop of colour during winter in some creme shades. They may be dupeable to someone with a larger collection but they're all unique to me. I've found both needing only 2 layers but I could get away with one if I had more steady application.  Other then this, they all perform the same consistency and wear wise as a permanent full sized nail polish from OPI. I can get 4-5 days of wear using a base and top coat. I love these colours, they're bold but not screaming in your face for attention. Available: Only for a limited time from Myer Stores, myer.com.au for $20 30ml/1fl.oz.

They may be dupeable to someone with a larger collection but they're all unique to me. I've found In The Clouds and It's A Boy to be the most sheer requiring 3-4 layers for even and full opaqueness. Other then this, they all perform the same consistency and wear wise as a permanent full sized nail polish from OPI. I can get 4-5 days of wear using a base and top coat. I love this mini packs as they're tasters for the collection and you get the shade you...
