Today I show you OPI’s Stay The Night, one of the four Liquid Sand shades belonging to their Mariah Carey Collection.
It’s a black jelly-ish base with pink microglitter. Formula is a bit on the thin side, but manageable. I’m really impressed by this polish 🙂 This is definitely not as gritty as expected. I chose to purchase only one of the four Liquid Sand shades because I thought it would be way too gritty. And I thought the removal would be a big pain. Even that has exceeded my expectations, in a good way!
The instructions say that you need two coats of Stay The Night, without top coat. In the above pictures you can see the matte textured finish.
I also like it when it’s finished with top coat. Beware though, it needs two coats of top coat because the polish just eats the first coat. Below you can see how it looks with two coats of Seche Vite. Look at the depth! Lovely, just lovely!
Now I doubt whether I should buy the purple one (Can’t Let Go) too.
What do you think of the Liquid Sand shades?
Love your blog !!!!!!!!!!
Keep posting more articles. ………
I can’t stop looking at it! Love your blog by the way 🙂 Check out mine when you get the chance! 🙂
I think I preffer it with a topcoat. 😉
I’ve read that most of us polish lovers love it more with top coat. Me too 😀
i love this! this is the only color from the mariah carey collection that i was interested at all and after seeing your swatches i think i need it
I think you won’t regret it. It’s lovely 😀
In love!
Oooh…I’m not sure about that texture! Definitely prefer it with a topcoat!
With top coat the gritty-ness is all gone. If you like it with top coat I definitely recommend it. It has so much depth 😀
Love the colour…with the topcoat. Without it, it looks unfinished and a bit odd. Not sure that it looks anything like in the adverts – which is a shame because this is a gorgeous shade. Thankfully the topcoat saves it
I know what you mean. The top coat gives it so much depth. That is what I love the most about this polish!
I LOVE Stay the NIght. I know it’s not supposed to have a top coat but I actually love it with the top coat. It looks fantastic with it and on your nails it is beautiful!
Thanks so much! I prefer it with the top coat too 😉
I much prefer the topcoated Liquid Sand, it looks so glossy and interesting – the gritty texture without topcoat just looks so rough!
I agree with you on that. It amazes me with the top coat. It has so much depth that I can’t stop staring at it 😀
That color really match you, love those polishes! 😀
Ahww thanks! Do you think I need to get the purple one too?
If you have the money I really think you shall go for it 🙂
Love it! Looks awesome on you!
Thanks so much! 🙂
