Hello Lovelies! Happy Friday!!!!! I am very much looking forward to this weekend - hubby has 5 days off this week, and it's a payday Friday! Looks like I'm going to be a swatching, cleaning, and shopping (mostly necessities...boo!) fool!

Since it's Friday, it can only mean one thing around here...Flakie Friday! Today's polish is a personal fave, yet I had never worn this color myself until now. I have no idea why.....it's just gorgeous!

OPI DS Mystery is a beautiful deep Eggplant/Plum packed with fine gold flakes. At first glance, it looks like more of a glass fleck that a flakie, but I assure the flakes are there. I'm still shaking my head at myself with this one - I've had this polish for a good year or so and it's just been sitting in my untried OPI's. What a shame!!!

This is 2 coats of DS Mystery, with top coat:

*Sighs* Soooooooo pretty!! I love how this baby is so jam packed with flakies that they don't even look like flakies. Except when you remove it - then you can see all of the flakes pop up through the polish as it dissolves. This polish is also amazing in sunlight. Almost blindingly so! But speaking of those flakies...how about a macro shot so you can see them?

See! There they are! They're just so densely packed that they look more like a glass fleck to my eyes! Either way, it counts! ;)

DS Mystery's formula was standard OPI awesome-sauce  Great consistency, no thickening during use, and no glopping, even after sitting on a shelf for over a year. Application was a cake walk with no dragging or balding and I only needed 2 thin coats for full opacity. I do recommend using top coat with this baby, since she seems to dry a touch on the dull side. Dry time was fast, and wear is good - although I haven't even worn this for 24 hours and I have a couple small chips on both thumbnails.

I think this is one of my faves from the entire DS Series. You know me and shimmery, shiny vampies! I could wear vampies all year long and be perfectly content.

What do *you* think of DS Mystery?

I'll be back either this afternoon or tomorrow morning with more from Live Life Polished, so be sure to check back! I also have pretties from NPB, Luscious Potion, Fandom Cosmetics and Shimmer Polish on the way.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
