Comparison Thursday: OPI DS Reds

Today, let's take a look at the two OPI DS reds that I own: DS Reflection and DS Tapestry.

Reflection on the left; Tapestry on the right.

DS Reflection is a scattered red holo that leans more towards a berry red.  The scattered holo isn't as bright as it is in Tapestry.  Tapestry has a brighter scattered holo that leans a little more coral than Reflection.  It's not as coral as Coral Reef, but it definitely leans more coral than red.  Both of these polishes are scattered holos, which is a departure from the original DS linear holographic collection.  While I usually prefer linear holos, I do really enjoy both of these polishes.


Here's a closer shot so you can see the holo pigment a little better.

See how Tapestry has a much chunkier holo pigment than Reflection?

Like all OPI DS's, these both applied really well, very evenly with a lot of pigment in just one coat.  Here, I have on two coats with a top coat.  You can find these in some ULTAs, nail salons, or at TransDesign.  I bought my Reflection at ULTA and my Tapestry at a salon near me.  They have been discontinued, as far as I know, but you can still find them places if you look hard.  I think they are just different enough to justify having both!

Well, that was short and sweet, lol.  I'll leave you with some nail mail!!!!  I got my Dollish Polish This is Halloween collection in the mail today!  It's funny, too, because I actually have two more packages on the way from her, which will make two lucky readers very very happy!  Eeep!  I expect to do a Lynnderella Very Pretty Vampire comparison to Dolly's Vampire Coven and Sonoma Deadly Zins very soon, so keep your eyes open for that!



Do you own any OPI DS's?  Which is your favorite?
