OPI James Bond Skyfall: The World Is Not Enough Swatch and Review 1 of 3


I discovered these at my local beauty supply yesterday and had to snatch 3 of them up.  I didn't think they'd have them in stock, but I'm not going to ask any questions!  If you're not aware, this is the 50th anniversary for James Bond, and in honor of that OPI is releasing 12 limited edition colors in tandem to the release Skyfall movie due on November 9th.

First up from the Skyfall collection is The World Is Not Enough, a shimmery gold foil with bits of red in what appears to be a brown base.  It's very complex and compelling to watch the color shift and sparkles when in light.  It's difficult to catch the red sparkle on camera but it's there.  I'm disappointed in the formula because it went on very sheer and it took four coats to minimize VNL, but even at four coats it's still visible in the pics.  This shade would probably benefit from a brown basecoat when wearing a full mani of this color.  After swatching, I probably would have passed on this shade had I known how sheer it is.
