Last Thursday was my 20-something birthday. To mark the occasion, I wanted to wear something extra special on my nails. I've acquired a few 'extra special' polishes in the last few weeks, but this one had intrigued me for a while. I have read about so many people raving about AA for a while now and I was dying to know what all the fuss was about.
Now I know.
OPI Absolutely Alice comprises of bright blue glitters in a clear base with some gold glitter thrown in for good measure.
As I was applying, I was not sure what all the hype was for. I thought it was pretty okay, but not awesome. Then I added the top coats (one coat of Essence Gel-Like TC and one coat of HK Girl) and I finally understood. My nails sparkled like CRAZY. And I spent the next three days staring at my nails - and showing everyone who looked in my direction how awesome they were!
This polish IS special. I am so glad to have it in my stash. I am also very lucky to have spent less than $15 on it.
Absolutely Alice is considered HTF and sells for up to $35 on ebay.
Absolutely Alice was released in 2010 and like it's equally popular but more elusive brother - Mad as a Hatter - are now discontinued (the whole collection was discontinued). Typical of a polish company to discontinue an extremely popular and awesome polish collection.
To go with the whole birthday theme, here is some of the awesomeness I got from my sister.
I was so spoilt (I also got my very first GHD hair straightener from my parents - yay!)
