Yesterday, in my Twitter poll, I asked which of three nail-polish collections you wanted me to swatch first.
The majority (39%) chose the OPI Alice Through the Looking Glass Collection, although the Zoya Seashells Collection came in at a very close second (38%).
Taking your request into account, here are all nine colours in the OPI Alice Through the Looking Glass Collection (aka the Brights 2016 Collection) swatched!
(If you’re interested in seeing the official press release with the colour story, click the link to see it in a blog post I published previously.)
Which one’s your favourite?
The red and plum had a jelly-like finish, which was very shiny and on the sheer, watery side. However, they could be built up with multiple coats.
The gold has a little silver thrown in, and it’s a textured glitter nail polish. (On me, I think it looks wonky and the texture looked clumpy because the base colour is metallic. It wasn’t my favourite, even though I am a fan of textures.)
My heart raced faster when I tried on the special-edition colour, What Time Isn’t It?, which is a pigmented grey with bar glitter. I don’t have anything exactly like it.
The light and dark blues were my favourite cremes because they pop on your nails!
Overall, the formulas on these were great and easy to apply with most needing just two coats.
There are nine shades in the OPI Alice Through the Looking Glass Collection:
- The I’s Have It
- Oh My Majesty!
- What’s the Hatter with You?
- I’m Gown for Anything!
- Fearlessly Alice
- A Mirror Escape
- Having a Big Head Day
- Mad for Madness Sake
- What Time Isn’t It? (Special-edition colour)

Which is your favourite colour in the OPI Alice Through the Looking Glass Collection? Did any of these polishes surprise you? If you could add another nail polish in this collection, what would it look like?
I already bought Fearlessly Alice and love it. I really want to go back and pick up The I’s Have It and maybe a couple of others. Thanks for sharing them with us. As always they look great on you! 🙂
Hey Melissa!
Fearlessly Alice is absolutely stunning whenever I see it on anyone! I think it flatters so many different skin tones.
I’ll be reviewing The I’s Have It in-depth very soon, so please stay tuned! 🙂
I ordered Oh My Majesty! already 🙂 Loved that one, can’t go wrong with a white shimmer polish. Really love the blues as well, but I have dupes for those.
Hey Renée!
That one’s very fresh and classy. Nice choice! 🙂
The blues are so pretty, and I’ll be doing an in-depth review of The I’s Have It on here very soon.
So far I only bought the glitters, mostly because I find OPI’s strange glitter releases both appealing and yucky. Hard to explain. On the display the others seemed like nothing new, but based on your review I’ll definitely need to pick up Oh My Majesty! and Fearlessly Alice. So pretty!
It’s disappointing that OPI didn’t use this “Alice” tie-in as an opportunity rerelease Mad as a Hatter and Absolutely Alice. It’s almost like OPI doesn’t want all our money!
Hey A!
Hahahaha, “appealing and yucky” made me crack up! I kind of understand what you mean. It’s sometimes the whole ‘ugly pretty’ concept that also pulls me into a polish, too. 🙂
If OPI re-released those two coveted shades, WOW, I can just picture the excitement from nail-polish enthusiasts everywhere! That would be epic!
